    Disney Destiny

    Agreed, and I’ll add that if it’s the same price as the Wish, I’m also out.

    Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort closing for maintenance in January 2025

    Well the fact that they are offering up three generic quiet pools as the alternative for a 6 month refurb seems to support your idea. No chance I would pay the cash room rates or even dish out my DVC points for Yacht or Beach without Stormalong, particularly during the warmer months. Disney...

    News Sunglass Hut opens in EPCOT's World Celebration Gardens

    So cheap looking too! Looks like it’s made to be swapped out easily but why?

    News Disney World extends cancellation notice for resort hotels in 2025

    As much as I want to get off of my phone while in the parks, I’m not feeling great about this. Just not sure how many advance reservations they’re actually going to allow. With FastPass+ it was three which was a nice start, but that can really limit you if you get a later one and have to use all...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    This became our main strategy at Disneyland last year and it happened by chance. It was an uncommon rainy few days there and attractions were going down constantly. As soon as one would, I’d book a LL immediately and then receive the bonus any-attraction pass. It was a fun game to play and...

    Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings unveils new EPCOT Spaceship Earth wedding venue

    Nice option if you’re rich enough but I can’t help but think that maybe this is why we went from something like Fountain of Nations and got what we did. It’s not bad, it could just be so much more. I guess a fountain would have gotten in the way of selling weddings. 😉

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I have two kids and also teach yet have found other times to visit throughout the year. To each their own. My wife and I went Christmas week before having kids. Christmas Eve and Day were actually enjoyable. Then the 26th on was positively miserable. We went in with reasonable expectations and...

    Possible to link all family tickets in the Universal Orlando app?

    I just found the same thing. I assume that means each person would need to have their own device and app?

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    While you’re correct that capacity is the main issue, standby lines would still be more efficient without Lightning Lanes. It’s why standby lines are at least bearable in the morning until ride reservations start piling up. Then CMs have no choice but to clear the Lightning Lane by essentially...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    While I don’t completely disagree with you, I can’t see how Disney could go this route after spending the past 25 years convincing us that Fast Pass/Genie+ is the key to having a great day at the parks. Price people out and many will simply stop coming altogether as they’ll fail to see that it...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Don’t worry, they are quickly getting there anyway. They’d rather deal with a handful of complainers like us who will acknowledge the $5 price hike while everyone else just hands over their credit cards. This way the majority is conditioned into both believing that they need to purchase Genie+...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I think that’s a valid point. Universal Express is priced the way it is because there is a much more limited supply. Pay for one night in one of their “deluxe” resorts and it’s included for two days, and the room could be less than Disney’s resorts. What does Disney give you for upwards of...

    News Walt Disney World launches new seasonal Water Park Pass

    Will both parks ever be open again at the same time? The wording here seems to suggest it’s not part of the plan, at least into 2024. Such a shame to see parks of this magnitude sit unused so much.

    News Destination D23 2023

    They mentioned a “limited time” for Soarin’ Over California but no actual end date.

    Stormalong Bay and Shipwreck Pool at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort closing for maintenance in January 2025

    Hopefully they completely replace the slide. That thing has been punishing riders’ backs for more than a decade now. You feel every seam, particularly on the long straight section that crosses the path.

    Mears Connect and the Sunshine Flyer Join Forces

    Could be true, but do you really think Mears is buying out the competition just so they’re the only ones doing it? Gotta pay off that cost somehow. Time will tell!

    2023 EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

    I know this is also the date for the “start” of the Disney 100 celebration at Epcot. Will this also be the opening for Moana? I assume the new festival center won’t be ready by then.

    Mears Connect and the Sunshine Flyer Join Forces

    Inevitable price hike coming soon now that there’s no competition.

    News Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023

    Us too. We even treated our friends (family of 4) as it was reasonable back then. To each their own, but I can’t wrap my brain around paying a max of $200 for the party ticket and then adding another $100+ for the dessert party. $1000+ for a family of 4. Insane, but I’m sure both will sell out...

    News All new design coming to Walt Disney World Cast Member nametags in May

    It’s nice, just not what I was expecting when we heard “all new design”. For some reason I expected a new shape or something else more drastic. Probably just my misunderstanding.
