    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    What legendary return policy? Are you talking about for legacy paper FP many years ago? Or something else?

    News H2O+ products shutting down???

    I suspect what happened here is not that TWDC purchased the formula, but rather that H2O+‘s parent company is continuing to custom produce this for Disney, just without the H2O+ name. Disney buys enough that they are willing to do something custom.

    Facial Recognition Testing

    So apparently Universal Orlando is rolling out facial recognition technology similar to this now. I’m curious if WDW will circle back on it as a result.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    Of all the things in Epcot to invest in right now, why this? Both SSE and Imagination need investment more desperately than Test Track. The current version of Test Track is a downgrade from the original version (IMO), but it certainly doesn’t feel dated.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I guess my question here is, were they successful? Seems like they stopped BG1 from booking LLs, but I don’t see anything on the “Standby Skipper” site for example indicating that they no longer auto-book LLs. So either they never updated their site, or they found a workaround to still auto-book...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    So apparently on 7/18, Disney made a change on their backend to prevent the booking of ILLs via BG1 and other 3rd party apps. Does anyone know if this impacted bots like “Standby Skipper” which previously would auto-book LLs for people? I imagine that TDO cares more about blocking that than...

    Bounceback Offers Return to Walt Disney World

    They interestingly also haven’t done “Pin Code” / targeted offers in a while. I feel like pre-COVID those were pretty common.

    News Walt Disney World renames certain room categories

    So how does “Resort View” pricing compare to previous Standard View and Garden View pricing?

    Dining Plans Return for 2024 / Park Reservations End for Dated Tickets

    Was this officially communicated anywhere? Or did you hear it through sources?

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

    I hope they use a larger font for the “hometown” than on the 50th name tags where it was often barely readable. I saw someone wearing a pre-50th name tag recently and it was much better.

    New 350 room DVC tower coming to Disneyland Hotel

    Looks like it will have the same resale restrictions, which is unfortunate.

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I am curious if they are selling the same amount of inventory each day this week, or if they are testing to see the impact of different inventory levels on park ops and/or how quickly Genie+ LLs sell out throughout the day.

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

    Curious… when did they combine the reservation pools/buckets for day guests and resort guests? Was that officially announced? I’ve noticed for a while now that availability for resort guests matches exactly what is available for day guests.

    News Re-Usable Bag Price Increases

    FWIW I am supportive of grocery stores and many other businesses moving to a “bring your own bag or buy a single use bag for $0.10” model, especially if the single use bags are paper. This has already been implemented in many parts of the country. I am not at all supportive of “bring your own...

    MagicBand+ announced

    So both shopDisney and the resort guest pre-order system have stopped selling most MB2s . There are no longer any solid color ones available. All they have left are a few different special MB2 designs that I suspect didn’t sell well (hence them being in stock) IMO trying to force people that...

    New three-course selection menu coming to California Grill

    I would personally prefer a “minimum spend” per guest / per table rather than prix fixe. It would still be effective at preventing people from only ordering dessert, etc, but without the additional consequences (e.g. forcing people to order an appetizer even if they don’t want one / don’t like...

    Daily housekeeping returns to all Deluxe Resorts beginning January 15, 2023

    I’m curious what housekeeping will be for cash stays at a DVC resort.

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

    One surprising thing about today’s updates is the fact that WDW’s park hopping time is staying at 2pm while DLR’s is moving to 11am (from 1pm which already was earlier). What gives? They can’t at least move it to 1pm at WDW also? It seems odd that they keep hanging on to such a late park...

    News Annual Passholder Park Pass Reservation Change

    It is surprising IMO that they are making a change that gives APs an advantage (re: park access) over day ticket guests. Ultimately though I think this plays into a larger strategy to use sales limits (both for tickets and APs) rather than reservations to restrict park access.

    News Disney Genie+ will soon include Disney PhotoPass image taken at attractions in Walt Disney World

    This is an interesting change…… I wonder how it will impact MemoryMaker sales?
