    Trip Report Nov 2022, the Old Devotees go back after 13 years-Updated Part 2

    Final thoughts (sorry taken a bit to finish this) First I want to say I hope WDW continues to provide all of you years of joy and pixie dust. It used to be that way for us. Alas, no more and I think it will be a long time, if ever that we go back. We will do DL again, we’re only a couple of...

    Last park day, ending on a bummer well my stomach issue? Yeah middle of the night puke. Fortunately I have some miracle medication that stops all puking within 5 minutes so took that and went back to sleep. Today was supposed to be MK but we also woke up to rain! Guess we had been lucky, nary a...

    Ok continued. Packed up, checked out of Swan, had luggage transferred to CR (gave a nice tip). Can’t recall and have crummy notes about what we did at HS though I do know we got one Genie+ for MF and that was fun. Again though having to wait around after booking our next for MMRR. Even with...

    Next Day-HS and transfer hotels This was our transfer day from Swan to Contemporary. We always have done split stays between Epcot area and MK area. We like the different vibes and that it’s almost like a reset to vacation. Anyway we splurged on a CL room as we had saved so much at the Swan...

    AK and Epcot continued So after FoP we had to head back to Nomad Lounge. We had a great table on the deck. Can’t recall all we ate, I know we shared everything and did have one salad. Every single thing was excellent from the food to the service to the ambience. The pontoon boats all had...

    Day 2- Hollywood Studios and (somewhat) Epcot Had to set my alarm for the whole 7 am rigmarole with ILL and Genie+. What an awful way to have to start every day of vacation. Anyway bought an ILL for ROTR and got a Genie+ for ToT. What another hassle trying to juggle times around. Downstairs...

    Ok let me try to get this started from the beginning. It will be more text heavy than photo heavy. Day 1- Departure and Arrival/Epcot November 14: Left California at 6:30 am flight. Connected in Phoenix, stopped in a lounge we have access to. (I’m not sure how to do photos well here so...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    We were there over the past week. We definitely won’t be back for awhile. Except for 2 days the place looked like what, for us (not having been in 13 years) 4th of July or Thanksgiving. When the Genie+ LL like for BTMR had switchbacks and was still halfway across the Splash bridge, something...

    Last night MK was a zoo. We tried to leave before the fireworks and we ended up with a behind-the-scenes “tour“ along with hundreds of other people because they could not get us out the front. This was BEFORE fireworks. We’ve been here a week and only one night at Epcot did we have a...

    We won’t come back but we WILL do Disneyland. My initial thoughts on Genie is just make everything ILL, kind of like when we were kids and DL had those paper roll tickets and it was a 1 ticket-3 ticket ride. Charge every ride as an ILL on a SIMPLE SINGLE system, if you must charge. Charge me...

    the old feeling is gone.... or at least reduced a lot..

    I was just talking with DH about this, we go Monday for the first time in 13 years and it’s really depressing we can’t just wake up and say Well where do we want,to start today? And then hop wherever whenever.
