Me and my wife first went when we were 30 (a childless couple on honeymoon) and we stayed at French Quarter and absolutely loved it. Now it's our default choice for WDW holidays. The transport links are great, it's beautiful, walking up to PORS is lovely in the evening, the boats to Disney...

I love the Mermaid ride just because it never seems to have a queue when we go (even on Christmas Day it was a walk on this year) and we can sit on it after we eat a big cinnamon bun from Gaston's to let it digest. I think it's a great ride for what it is, I feel like the other parks could do...

I love Port Orleans but prefer French Quarter. So far we've stayed at French Quarter, Wilderness Lodge and Beach Club and we much preferred FQ to BC, maybe on a par with Wilderness Lodge. It has the advantage of only one bus stop and many less people, but getting to Riverside's amenities is just...

Refreshing over and over again really does work wonders, it's crazy how much it can change within just a minute or so of looking. Thankfully there's just two of us so I guess it's easier to find spots, but we've never had a problem getting dining reservations on the day and can usually get fast...

This Christmas we were surprised when we got to Orlando airport and went up to the desks for the Magical Express. There was a family behind a family being served at one desk, then two other desks that were just serving someone and had no line. We went up to queue behind one of the other desks...

I voted for Rise of the Resistance, and love it, but both that and Flight of Passage are so narrative based I'm not sure how much I want to reride them. I've done FoP maybe five times since it opened, and RotR once, but now I'm perfectly ok with skipping them on some trips because they were an...

We originally stayed at French Quarter and loved it, and the only other resort we've found so far with that 'magic' is Wilderness Lodge. It's more expensive, but for that you're getting a decent sized balcony with some impressive views from plenty of rooms, boats to Magic Kingdom and Fort...

What on earth are you on about Trackmaster? Their post was absolutely fine to read. Also, steel coasters can and do get partial retracks all the time. Sometimes most of the track is replaced (recently Python at Efteling in Holland had this), sometimes a single section can be replaced. Over the...

I feel like they should try doing Virtual Queue with two chances to get in, one batch released at rope drop then one released at 1pm. It would mean people had two chances to get in and even if you couldn't make it earlier you'd still have a chance, but it also increases the likelihood of someone...

We just stayed at Beach Club at Christmas and have stayed at Wilderness Lodge, and between those two we much preferred Wilderness Lodge. Being able to walk to Epcot and HS is nice, but the Boardwalk area just isn't that pleasant to hang around in and the food options aren't fantastic unless...

Jungle Cruise for sure, or Adventurer's Club and then a Jungle Cruise themed pool and bar maybe. I just think it'd be nice to have a deluxe that was a little more 'fun' rather than trying to seem necessarily classy and stuffy. We love Wilderness Lodge and French Quarter, partly because they feel...

Didn't see if anyone had answered, but basically whoever gets it first gets it for both, then the other person will get an error message saying you are already in a group. When we did it I was trying by myself but the app wouldn't refresh so my wife started it from scratch and got one straight...

Oh yeah, but what I'm saying is, with a deposit system to weed out potential no-shows or trolls, why not let people join those boarding groups at home. Still the same time etc, but just do it from your hotel room/your home and if you get a morning boarding group, head into the park, if you get a...

Does this already exist for fastpass/dining reservations? Never heard of that before, why can't people just do it themselves?

I get that people have to be in the park to get a BG to stop thousands of people getting them who have no intention of going and clogging the system, but couldn't they do a deposit system? Just do it the same as the dining reservations. Boarding groups start being offered at 7am and if you get...

The app is super weird about letting you order things, my wife's both generally doesn't work but mine does, even though they're both android phones. I would try using different browsers as they said (Chrome, Safari, Edge) and a different phone if you have access to one (like you can just load...

I think if Disney ever made a 5th gate it would need to cater to a different audience to make sense to them. If they had a teen-focused park, maybe like the often-dreamt-of Villains park with some thrill rides in that could encourage families with kids who are both too old and young to enjoy the...

I don't know for Disney, but in other parks around the world they only do the card thing for new rides or when they have modified something substantial. Otherwise they know roughly what the current wait time will be based on how much of the queue is open/being used and how far back it goes. That...

So were we! We had planned to just go to Magic Kingdom because we had heard they stop admission to the parks at lunch, but after lunch at Be Our Guest, we saw all the queue times were shorter than Christmas Eve so thought we'd risk it. Staying at Beach Club and using the skyliners helped a lot...

Usually you can get fastpasses for everything on the day except for SDD and FoP, you just need to keep refreshing. Me and my wife don't have kids so it might be easier that it's just the two of us, but even on Christmas Day this year we had fast passes booked for Seven Dwarves, Jingle Cruise and...
