    Parking at the MK to Visit the Resorts?

    If you have a car, use it. The buses are fine when they are running properly but having wasted 2 hours waiting to get on one when leaving they just aren't worth the risk. Your vacation days are limited, do you want to risk wasting hours waiting for a bus?

    Plans for the eclipse April 8?

    We went a bit further to Arkansas to avoid any clouds.

    My family has a VIP Main Entrance pass (or lifetime pass)

    Sadly with the Genie+ the value of free entry to the parks dropped. How many rides could you actually get in a day if you were relegated to stand by for every attraction.

    Pontoon Boats

    Sea Racers were dropped because they didn't make enough money. Apparently they were not rented out by Disney to begin with but by an outside company which determined they were no longer financially feasible. I think the first big cut happened back in the Spring of 2014. Having rented them at...

    1000 dollar tickets, 1 day a year

    Yes they go up to 900... but that would be someone booking on a weekend during a peak season and prime time. I suspect if you were going to go for as much as possible on a trip you would avoid those times simple because even if you were skipping lines the chaos would still be a pain in the...

    1000 dollar tickets, 1 day a year

    Would it be less than a private tour? assume 450/hour for 7 hours... that's only 3150... slap on 4 130 tickets, 520... so a total of 3670.... You couldn't do more than 7 hours... but if its a private tour you skip all the line BS and could probably get more done in that 7 hours than you could...

    1000 dollar tickets, 1 day a year

    They wouldn't be packed, and while some people would show up they would lose money because the few that would show up would probably be gunning to do as many attractions as possible which wouldn't make them any money on mouse ears and food.

    News Disney Vacation Club announces plans for more than 350 new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort

    No, they were sometimes available at parity with moderates. Not always, but I know the first time used stayed their it was because they had one available for the entire time we were their while the moderate we had wanted was not. This was probably 15 years ago, but at that time they were the...

    News Disney plans to reboot Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Could be that given their box office bombs recently that they are just trying to throw out any news that might muddy shareholders minds, especially when they are having to deal with a large investor trying to get some non-Iger board members elected.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I'm not simply trying to compare this to Harmonious, I'm comparing it too Disney night time displays in general. They had some mid size shells, but I don't think I can recall any large shells, or novelty shells where for example you see a shell burst into lots of little rockets. The shells...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    It isn't just the number of pyros it is also the size, type and color. The majority of the shells I saw were cheap white shells. You generally have shells that range in price from $50 to $5,000.... I saw a lot of 50 dollar shells and not much else. So I would suspect this was a very cheap...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Is throwing in a bunch of colored spot lights and removing fireworks supposed to save money or what. These are the weakest fireworks I've seen in a long time.

    How much of the DIS stock plummet is related to the parks? In particular, WDW..

    Charging your car from empty using coal power puts the equivalent co2 in the air as 4 gallons of gasoline in a car. So in that respect if your goal is reducing co2 you are ahead... the place where you fail is the mining for lithium to make the batteries. It doesn't just require insane amount...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    And a 10 day pass is 780... I frankly don't understand the point of a park hopper when you can't swap until after 2:00pm and have to make reservations. For me it just means 1 park a day and skip AK completely.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    You might get more out of a multi-day guest on food... but not merchandise. Only so many mouse ears on any trip, the multi-day guest isn't going to be as likely to buy the overpriced crap every day while the day-tripper is more likely to buy some over priced crap because it is their only...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I suspect their jacked up ticket prices probably just result in fewer day trippers, get the multi-day tickets and your price drops... but the multi-day park guests aren't going to spend nearly as much on a per visit basis as a day tripper. So revenues will take a hit just from the change in the...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Oh they are very generic... I recall the 70's you had things you would only see in Disney...by the 80's you were getting some lower end stuff but still not complete .... by the 90's it was a mix with more cheap generic garbage... and now it is just crap. I still remember a halloween back...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I think the drop of high profit Chinese junk is mostly do to them selling the same high priced Chinese junk you can get at a low price in a Walmart. Last time I was in a Target or Walmart I saw very big and wide selection of Disney character clothing which has to be reducing the need for anyone...

    News Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground to temporarily restrict access for day guests

    While they wont allow day guest reservations, are they really going to check each car as it goes in to verify who is and isn't supposed to be there? In the times we used FW we never even saw a human at the entrance you just used your magic band to open the gate and drove on in. If they are...

    Tron queue damage

    I remember when the city I was living in spend lots of money installing fountains in the downtown area... then when the homeless decided to use them as outdoor bathing pools they ended up having to shut the water off and drain them all.
