There is a backstage stairway and hallways that have been used for guests to access Mara during previous storms without having to use the outdoor walkway.

Kind of off topic, but I wish there was a way on the app to see whether the Skyliner is actually running. When there's obviously a lighting storm overhead you know to go to the bus area. But sometimes we have found ourselves wondering when the busses were actually going to stop/start. Both...

It's interesting, we stayed at the Dolphin in December for the first time and had a balcony. We were on the 8th floor I think, and I remember thinking they seemed sort of precariously placed. I'm sure they are fully structurally sound, but the fact they they are just protrusions of concrete...

10 or 15 years ago the parties were more "limited capacity" and while the parades/fireworks/shows were crowded, there was some breathing room. We were at the Halloween party in 2019 as well, and it was obvious they sold way more tickets than they had in years past. I am waiting to hear more...

I agree, the hand sanitizer dispensers were a nice touch. I know of a few smaller parks that had these even before the pandemic. It was a nice touch that was customer focused. This is purely a cost savings thing. And yes, I wash my hands as often as possible, but it was always nice getting a...

Was 2012 when they changed the Hoop Dee Doo song also? I still miss the original Hoop Dee Doo polka, it's a shame they couldn't work out a deal for the rights. Still, the show in recent years was good. There's no reason that a tinkering/updating of the script should lead to an inferior...

...And a self-park or valet fee as well. Disney resorts obviously charge now too, just something else to consider. Also like to add the couple of bottles of water are a nice perk to pack in a bag when going to the parks. And they are doing regular daily housekeeping (or at least they did for...

Admittedly, I was upset when they changed the format to character dining at Artist Point. But we were pleasantly surprised when we went pre-covid, before the closure. The food and service were actually very good, and the character interaction was great. It's definitely a more unique...

It's a shame, because the MCMCP and Not so Scary were fun events, but they really stopped being fun in their last several years due to massive overcrowding caused by overselling. All this despite the massive price increases that went along with it! It will be interesting to see what they do...

I agree, I don’t see how this could ever be enforceable.

Hopefully they find the happy medium here between appropriate theme and comfort / functionality.

The Disney Springs bus drops off past the West Side area, behind Cirque du Soleil. So it can be quite a walk to the old marketplace area, and not nearly as centrally as the Disney resort busses.

Not exactly sure what you mean by this. They are able to fill their rooms, but only because a huge number of resort rooms have been taken out of inventory, and some will continue to remain closed. If they were to open up every room on property, there is no way they'd be able to fill them with...

There is nothing better than riding one of the small open air boats between the MK and Poly. When people talk about intangible "magical" feelings at WDW, that's probably it for me!

It's a shame because they used to have a pretty decent selection of on-demand art at the old Disney gallery shop at Downtown Disney. You could print tons of attractions posters and concept art at various sizes. There's no reason they couldn't do that now.

Disappointing if it doesn't come back.

I still never got over how they shrunk yogurt containers from 8oz to 6oz about 20 years ago.

Interesting, that has not been my experience in the past. But this is obviously an unusual year.

We're actually in the same situation as you, as we are considering a short 4 day trip in November. Most dates show zero availability at any resort, or something crazy $$ like a 2 BR DVC suite at the GF. I am almost certain that they are still keeping large quantities of rooms out of inventory...

Makes sense for NYE. Sounds tacky for a regular exit. When Mickey and Minnie used to come out to wave goodbye from the train station at night...that was a nice touch.
