    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    That's a really interesting chart. Is there a way, do you think, to factor in population increase? According to census data, the population of the US has grown by a third since 1990 (248.7 million in 1990, 331.4 million in 2020). I realize that the chart shows income percentage numbers which...

    Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

    Am I correct in thinking that to ascend to the top of SSE (like Mickey in the famous commercial), one would have to take the scissor lift that sits over the elevator shaft through the black level, then shimmy up a catwalk/ladder between that and Alucobond outer shell to the top? I ask because...

    TRON Lightcycle Run previews

    That is completely correct. Disney IT uses the company Queue-It to create and manage queues across their various platforms - ShopDisney, RunDisney, parks and resorts, and even DVC on very selective dates (usually towards the dues deadline when that site gets much more traffic than usual). If...

    Fantasmic Reopening Watch

    Do the Fantasmic dining packages require prepayment like some other special dining? I'll be looking to make a reservation soon for a trip in early January, and we haven't quite settled the size of my party. If it books like a normal ADR, I'll look to make it for the larger number (then call to...

    Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party 2022

    I purchased a ticket for Mickey's Not-So-Scary then had to cancel my trip. I have a friend who lives nearby to the parks and gave it to him. We linked through MDE, and I was able to reassign my party ticket to him in about 20 seconds through the app. I don't know of a way that you can...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I agree with your sentiment, but remembered that Rise of the Resistance opened on December 5th, 2019. This attraction would presumably be much more stable operations-wise, so I could see them opening it as soon as they're able to do so, even in the lead-up to Christmas.

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway SPOILER Thread

    Anyone else track the crab that appears throughout the attraction? He appears in every scene, but each individual car can only see him in some; no one car can see all of this appearances. There's a YouTube video that provides the locations, but I think they miss one, that being when the ride...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    I see that an earlier message of mine is still waiting admin approval (probably because I quoted something from the QueueIt web site), so my comment to which you replied probably was too brief and vague. To put it briefly, RunDisney uses QueueIt to manage their queues and Haku Sports to process...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    It does. I mention my strategy in my comment above, but what's crucial is to get different QueueIt queue IDs. If you open multiple windows in one browser type, you'll just get the same ID over and over. If you open the queue in different browser types or in different configurations (regular...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    I noticed the same verbiage in the QueueIt page for the Cosmic Rewind DVC preview, then did an internet search. QueueIt seemingly addressed it a couple of years ago (see https://support.queue-it.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004418493-What-happens-when-I-arrive-before-the-queue-is-open-active-), but...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Thanks for the tips, and sorry about the confusion. I figured that the Genie+ purchase is directly applied to a CC and not through the room; and had mentioned that as part of wondering if park reservations made under the old system had caused a mismatch within the system. I did uninstall and...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Has anyone ever come across the issue of not being able to purchase Genie+? I'm at the resort with my family, and we’re all AP holders. When I try to buy Genie+, I can get the screen that should allow me to do so, but the purchase button contains no text, and hitting it does nothing (see...

    Major Problem with new Annual Passes

    There is an odd exception. My AP expired in early June of this year. Last November, after successfully booking a DVC room for the 50th Anniversary weekend, I called the DVC office, and they were able to sell me an AP renewal certificate (the stated expiration date of which was, and still is as...

    Are there any rumors or information about the return of runDisney events?

    Charities with past connections to RunDisney were notified after the announcement that they could apply for race bibs, and they were given until Friday morning, July 2nd, to submit the numbers they wished. I know for certain that they were able to apply for bibs for Wine and Dine, Marathon...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    I think bumping up of capacity has more to do with staffing than anything else. More employees across the board are needed to be able to handle the old average daily number of guests. The good news is that the Disney Jobs site is showing a lot of positions for which they're hiring in this...

    Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

    Thanks for that; his work is so good that it'll get me really close. I marvel at the use of space, too. I'd dearly love to do an augmented reality version where I could hold a phone up and see a rough interior rendering in real time, though I would seriously need to better my skills. In the...

    Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

    Martin, is this track layout imagery available online anywhere? I've been tinkering with a project where I'd be able stand outside of SSE and be able to pinpoint where specific show scenes are within the attraction. The plans drawn by Ed of the The Disney Blueprint page are pretty good (and...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    One thing to keep in mind is that in order to park hop, you must check into the park at which you have a reservation first. If you were only able to make park reservations at Epcot for each of your days, you'll have to go to that park and go through the tapstiles before you then move to another...
