Was there ever a time that people actually stayed fairly quiet to listen to what was being said during pre-shows on some attractions? I haven't been to WDW in a while now, but all of the videos I've seen since then, and even the last couple of times I went, it was very noticeable. The stretching...

I haven't been on this forum, other than a few isolated times, in the last 2-3 years. I used to be on here every day, reading and posting, but I have really lost the passion I used to have for Disney/WDW. Thinking about going back for the first time in almost 5 years, came here to post a...

Is it possible to have more than one room on a single booking/reservation done thru the WDW website/app? I was looking on the WDW website to get an idea for pricing for a week at POFQ next year for 5 people, but we will need two standard rooms, and there doesn't seem to be an option for that.

My family and I are looking into a short 4 day trip to WDW during the first weekend of November. Checking room availability on the Disney website, there is virtually nothing left. Choosing other dates until the end of the year show the same thing. We have never booked less than a year in...

Over the years that I've been on this board, I have gotten the impression that, when it comes to vacations, WDW seems to be the only option for some people. And, now, with the furor over Genie +, some people, who say they visit WDW multiple times a year, are stating that they will not be...

I've been a member here for 6 years, and there has always been the idea (or hope) that, if enough people become dissatisfied with their WDW trips and stop visiting, that the loss in revenue would force Disney to try and figure out why people don't want to come back, and use that info to make...

There has been alot of talk over the last few years, especially recently, about Disney not paying a livable wage to CMs at WDW and DLR. I live in Canada, in the province of Ontario, and we have minimum wage laws that ensure employers cannot lowball employees' pay rate. The minimum wage was...

This is going to get a little geeky, so turn away if you want, but, as a Quality Manager in a manufacturing facility, I've always been curious as to what international quality/environmental/operational standards WDW (or Disney theme parks in general) are certified to. Some of these standards...

Every trip I have taken to WDW has been in late winter/early spring or fall. Due to having to push out our next trip because of the COVID thing and my daughter's high school schedule, we may be attempting our first summer visit in early July of 2022. Other than the temperature/weather (which...

If the PoTC Shanghai ride system were to be duplicated at WDW, what would you theme the attraction to, and what park/land would you put it in? I could see it at DHS, maybe an Indiana Jones dark ride where the Stunt Spectacular is now.

So, we all know that for the first 11 years of existence, WDW was only one park, which increased to 2 when Epcot opened. My question is, when did most people start to consider it a place to take an extended vacation, ie more than just 2-3 days as part of a general vacation to central Florida...

What is the seating area at WDW that you like to go to relax and get away from the crowds? There are a few that I like, but nothing beats the covered area behind Tamu Tamu at DAK. The theming is great, there is cover from the sun with the lattice “roof”, and, even if there are quite a few people...

I'm sure many of us have been on Google Maps/Earth and have checked out the backstage areas at the parks to see if we can find something weird or unusual, and there are always things that we wonder what they are. Maybe this can be a thread where we post a Google picture of something at WDW that...

Now that the family at Disney Springs grilling hot dogs on their own grill yesterday has set a precedence, I am planning a BBQ and picnic, to be held in the middle of the hub at MK, for WDW Magic members only. Anyone is welcome, just bring something to eat/drink. Who's in, and what are you...

I stumbled on this little gem on YouTube last night-a 60 Minutes report from 1972 (featuring a young Mike Wallace), describing the impact of WDW on the surrounding area during it's first year of operation, and how it may impact the area in the future. My favourite part is the interview with Mr...

I will admit, I haven't read every post about the impact the pandemic is having/will have on WDW, but I would love to hear people's opinions on the financial impact on guests once WDW reopens. I'm sure there are still many people booking visits for later this year, and there will be more once...

Does anyone find it strange that they call the WDW souvenirs “toothpick holders”, when they are obviously shot glasses? I’m sure the official response would be that they don’t want to promote drinking, but they have alcohol at every resort and theme park, and they have a festival where a type of...

What are your most memorable empty attraction experiences? Mine was 2 weeks ago, at MK, during MVMCP. We were in Liberty Square around 11:00 pm, and with everyone gathered near the castle for the parade, there was no one around. The line for HM was completely empty, so we walk right up and...

I probably asked this question before my last trip but what is the quality of the WiFi in the parks and resorts now? The WiFi at POR was OK, kinda spotty and laggy, and I don't think I've ever really used the WiFi in any of the parks, so I don't have a baseline from previous visits. My phone is...

We have done the road trip from Ontario to WDW once before, 3 years ago. We will be undertaking our second trip this weekend. How strictly are the speed limits enforced on I-75? Coming from Canada, you can get away with driving up to 20 km/h over the limit without attracting any police...
