It makes me wonder how we all managed to survive before backpacks became so popular if people think they cannot live without carrying one around now.

Kungaloosh!

My job is affiliated with GM, the sponsor of Test Track, so I get free employee access to their VIP lounge. I can take other people with me but I I have to be there in person. Unfortunately, I am not planning on visiting WDW around Thanksgiving.

I don't care much for Universal. It seems that they are all about faster, spinning rides and I may have enjoyed that type of thing 40 years ago but not anymore. My wife and I are not Harry Potter fans, either. I stay away from TRON and Guardians at Disney but most everything else is enjoyable...

Although it's not officially summer until June 20. ;)

Keep in mind that if you are getting a VQ for a group of people they also must have scanned into the park at some time prior to 1pm, not just you. Also, the 1pm window opening duration varies quite a lot lately. Within the past week the window has closed in less than 3 seconds. Then on the...

Before you rent from Thrifty at MCO do a quick google search and read the reviews. You may not think their cheap price is worth it after that. I was very lucky when I rented from them a few years ago but my experience was apparently not the norm. Google search "Thrifty car rental MCO" and read...

Wow, what happened today? I've never seen it go that quickly for all three VQ windows. Usually, something like the 7am might last for a few seconds and then the 1pm is open for an hour or longer.

Absolutely. For example, the VQ for TRON yesterday lasted for 2.2 seconds at 7am. The 1pm lasted for 4 minutes. The previous day 1pm VQ lasted for almost 8 hours.

As I mentioned in another recent steak thread, I think Yachtsman is overpriced for the quality of what you get. We've dined a number of times at Shula's and have never been disappointed. I don't think it is as good as when we first went there and they'd initially bring out a menu on a football...

Since you included a few options outside of the Disney bubble, let me add one to your list. Pestana Orlando Suites Lake Buena Vista I stayed there last year when it was a Comfort Suites and it was quite nice for the price and close proximity to the parks. The hotel is about a year old, so...

When we dined at Victoria and Albert's at the GF we used self-parking but there was a fee if we were not resort guests. They comped that at the restaurant. At Yachtsman's, I drove around and around for what seemed like a long time and there was not a single empty parking spot in 3 different...

Same here. I did a bit of research to find a decent steakhouse last fall and somehow I chose Yachtsman, apparently based on some old reviews. I didn't think my ribeye was any better than what I could get at Outback for a lot less money. I won't even get into the lack of available free parking...

Wow, 19 year old thread revival. Anyway, there are rides that are a lot more intense than Test Track. TT didn't leave me with any pains or motion sickness, unlike some of the others throughout WDW.

I was wondering why the dining area didn't seem very crowded. :D I just found my special Disney badge for that visit. It was our 34th anniversary, so that means we went there in December, 2019.

There are people who were willing to pay $6,000 for two nights at the Galactic Starcruiser, so there will always be a few sales at that price level.

When we went in December, 2020, the total bill for the two of us was $842 and we didn't even do any wine pairings. That included tax and gratuity. Also, I think I remember it being called a 10-course dinner.

Yes, but August 9th is "only" 12 weeks before Halloween. Since Disney is doing this, don't be surprised to see the MVMCP opening dates to start in late September this year. :D

Pretty much the same experience I had, except I didn't complain to any Disney personnel. When my wife and I went to a MVMCP back around 2018 the park seemed like the crowd size doubled from what it had been during the day, long standby lines, it rained off and on throughout the evening, causing...

I was there the second week EPCOT had opened back in 1982. I don't remember any huge crowds but I was only going to be there for a day and so I didn't spend a lot of time in each Word Showcase pavilion. I walked around in the rain part of the day instead of staying indoors somewhere, waiting...
