    Vegas walking can prepare you for WDW

    Vegas would be a good prep location - particularly with the heat. 🥵As much walking as I do to prep, I can't bring myself to prep in the midst of heat and humidity. And, I certainly don't practice the quick poncho throw-on followed by running through rainstorms. Maybe I should?? ;)

    Delay Timer on Disney Website

    They are having major system overload with the discount release. That's what happens when they release discounts later than normal for a time period known to have discounts (people who booked are all watching like hawks), when you release both a dining and room discount the same day (they should...

    Busch Gardens VA / Been? Haven't? Post Here :)

    I've been a handful of times. My brother lives in Charlottesville, and when we go out to see them we usually take the road trip to BG. We always have a fun time when we're there. Verbolten is no joke. The first time I rode on it, I had no idea about the drop, and I about tossed my cookies. Now...

    working out for Disney

    Hi! Just joining this thread! This is awesome!! I also am trying to get in shape for WDW. A bit of background...I was in pretty good shape until a couple years ago. Nothing crazy, but definitely was able to get around WDW easily and without pain or fatigue, and I did it without any...

    A day in Magic Kingdom without rides.

    My son could easily go into MK for an entire day and be completely satisfied just playing Sorcerors. For me to go into MK and not ride anything would be like living one of my stress dreams where I'm at MK but I can't get to anything because I don't know where things are or I can't get my family...

    Did Disney put too much stock into Star Wars?

    I think Star Wars is an established franchise that will be entertaining to crowds for a long time. IMHO, I think WDW took a much bigger risk doing a Toy Story land instead of Pixar Land. And, I think Pandora was a big risk, and I think that risk has yet to play out... Neither of those film...

    Do you think you will ever enjoy Epcot again??

    I've never stopped enjoying Epcot. Sure, there are things I miss or would change, but it's still an amazing experience no matter how you cut it. The parks needs to change because all parks need to be updated over time. Epcot is in that growing phase right now, and I'm thankful it is. During this...

    Where to spend our extra day? MK, Legoland, or Universal?

    I don’t know for sure, but my best guess is the 60-day window will apply to those days you’re staying on WDW property, and the 30-day window will apply to your arrival day. I don’t believe their system will allow you to make FPs 60 days out on a day that they don’t have you in their system as a...

    WDW Bus “Disasters”

    We've had our fair share of uncomfortable bus rides, but none like this! I'm amazed the guy kept it together for as long as he did!

    No Fastpass Offered For Brand New Attractions As Permanent Protocol? (Opinion Poll)

    I honestly don't mind the FP system. I think it needs to be tweaked so that fewer fast passes are available in total for each ride, and so that fewer fast passes are available 60 and 30 days in advance for each ride. I think families that come to WDW should be able to book FPs for popular rides...

    Where to spend our extra day? MK, Legoland, or Universal?

    Honestly, this is sort of a tough question. Definitely a first-world-problem question, but tough nonetheless. My gut reaction was extra day at MK. MK is amazing, and if you're kids are hesitant of big rides or scary interactions, then MK is the place to be. Plus, an extra day's cost added to a...

    Does anyone ever give up on their planning and just go with it?

    I also love the planning. Quite frankly, since I can't afford to be at WDW every day, planning is what I use to immerse myself back in it when I can't be there. Once we get to WDW, we usually stick to my plan. But, in reality, the "plan" is just 3 FPs and a restaurant, so it's not like I have...

    Plenty of rooms available for Star Wars Opening

    I think each family can weigh the pros and cons for themselves. We have taken our kids out nearly every year to go. Their teachers know in advance, and they give them homework that we do on the plane. Neither of my kids have ever struggled getting back into the swing of things when they return...

    Just curious to hear from others... what do you bring into the parks and what do you bring it in? crossbody, backapck, pockets?

    I have a cross-body backpack. It's great. on the top of the strap by my shoulder is a little pocket that fits my phone perfectly so I can keep it in there but I can also hear it or feel it when it's ringing/vibrating since it's right by my ear. I also keep a bit of cash, one credit card and my...

    Which Disney ride do you think will get the axe next?

    Based on popularity and other renovations in the park, my bet would be on either Figment or Living with the Land. Between those two, I would choose Figment. I think this ride is still alive now only because does fill some capacity. So, the cost-benefit analysis of closing it versus leaving it...

    Limited Edition Magic Bands in the parks?

    That would be so great! One of my kids wants Forky. Now that Spiderman just released a new one, that would be what the other one wants.

    Same IP's in different parks

    I haven't thought about it like that, I guess. I feel like if it was as easy as "copy + paste" I would move things around based on the type of experience, not so much the IP, to different places in the parks. For example, thematically, I think the carousel of progress probably fits in Future...
