    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Can someone show me where all of this water in/around the Cars ATV ride will be? I’ve studied the D23 art - I’ve circled in black the only area that looks like it might be water. I’ve made a red line for all of the track areas - I’m unclear on the white cascade down the mountain - maybe a...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    As of July 31, 2024, Riviera was 68% sold, assuming they managed another month of 100,000+ sales there in August as they did in July, they’re likely currently at 70% sold - still 2 years +/- from selling out. Which is why starting construction on another new WDW DVC resort in the near future...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    WDW is built on a swamp, having water isn’t the issue, good design is the issue, specifically using expanses of water as part of an overall park design & the fact that the current group at Disney doesn’t inspire confidence that they’re capable of designing & executing a decent large scale redesign.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    AK has a river running through it. DHS has echo lake. Epcot is designed around the seven seas lagoon. They designed a river for DL & Paradise Bay for CA. This plan to drain the ROA & make MK the first domestic park w/out a prominent body of water shows just how little the current regime...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    A couple of additional matching addresses on W. Wilderness Way that Balfour Beatty previously pulled permits for in 2019/2020 that are listed in the 7/31/2024 permit: 10/10/19 - 632 for structural foundations 4/3/20 - 612 (transportation dock,) 636 (bus stop & walkway,) & 640 (table service...

    Wilderness Lodge/Ft Wilderness Permit

    I can‘t find a link to the 7/31/24 permit - but are the addresses the same as the ones filed by Balfour Beatty on 8/27/2019 - https://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagleweb/downloads/20190531352.pdf?parent=DOC2705S41826 which also ranged from 570 - 728 W. Wilderness Way & were thought to be linked to...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    There’s no simple answer to what is legally required, although the 9th circuit case brought by plaintiffs who were denied DAS passes offers some clarity. Preliminarily, the party seeking accommodation must show they are disabled. One of the California DAS litigants lost because the court found...

    News Disney Vacation Club Announces Expansion at The Villas at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

    There are 202 ‘new’ resort studios in BPK v. 47 deluxe studios in the original VGF building, so I’ll take deluxe studios book faster for a $1,000 Alex.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Thanks for the correction, I think I confused IA$ w/ Genie+. There have been so many changes I need to start keeping notes, trying to plan our next trip is like trying to hit a moving target. in 2019 w/ FP+ we got up early once 60 days before arrival & scheduled 3 rides for each day at one park...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Ouch, so in that sense worse than any previous version of FP. W/ the one at a time machines at least if you started early enough you had a shot at skipping the line to reride a favorite later in the day & w/ the 3 FP system you could sometimes snag a favorite for a reride after you’d run through...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    How do the J&J one and done folks get counted? My niece & her hubby live in PA and J&J was the first shot available to them, so that’s what they got. Rest of the family got Pfizer except me - I ended up w/ Moderna, I wasn’t thrilled @ the time w/ the extra week of waiting between doses (my...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    You do realize that 7DMT is only available via IAS, thus your daily $15 Genie+ will never give you LL for 7DMT, you’ll either wait standby or pay IA$ to skip the line for 7DMT so no worries about the 7DMT Maxpass style (not-IAS) being gone at 7:00:08.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I survived and enjoyed the parks, but I enjoyed the parks more w/ my 3 FP+ already booked because the paper FP certainly did run out & for popular rides they ran out early & often. The other thing to remember is that back in the paper FP days attendance when I went - 10-11 days in early/mid Dec...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Perhaps long term, but in this transition phase a lot of people have already purchased their tickets to secure park reservations for the fall/holidays - I know my group did & I’m not happy that they dropped this bomb into the equation, particularly since there’s no option to add the G+ now. I’m...

    Space 220

    Not sure I’d be happy to pay a hefty prix fixe tab and then get stuck at one of those inner/away from the faux windows tables. At least it’ll weed out the just ordering desert to check out the venue hordes.

    Parent swap changes...

    Used to be rider swap returns had no time limits. So groups would hit the park early, collect several rider swaps to use much later in the day which when they did so swamped the FP lines. When Disney changed to time limited rider swap returns the wailing that ensued from the parents of toddlers...

    News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests

    I think the PP was referencing DVC’s tendency to ‘convert’ deluxe cash rooms to DVC villas, thereby reducing deluxe cash room inventory. They started w/ the 5th & 6th floors at AKL Jambo being converted to DVC, then several Poly long houses were removed from cash inventory to become DVC villas...

    News Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours coming for resort guests

    Finally they’ve found a way to fill up all those rooms/villas at SSR! Be aware that actually getting a DVC reservation is challenging right now because there are a lot of unused points from the 2020 canceled vacations that have to work through the system. The good neighbor hotels did not get...

    Trouble in paradise officially?

    Limiting the time frame to ‘this year’ is odd, does that mean at some point before 12/31/2021, or does that mean at some time in the next 12 months? The raw numbers the article cites are useless as well. Just because twice as many making under $75000 are going v. those making over $75000 means...

    Why Disney's Animal Kingdom doesn't have chimpanzees yet?

    Agreed, I know WDW participates in AZA’s species survival plan for Mt. Zebras, and one was born on Kilimanjaro safari just over a week ago. https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2021/05/disneys-animal-kingdom-theme-park-welcomes-baby-zebra-its-a-boy/ As for why no Chimpanzees, it’s hard to say...
