    News Membership Magic Beyond

    I'm unsure if this was covered here already, but Membership Magic Beyond is NOT available to anyone residing outside of the United States. I just had 2 phone calls with DVC and despite it being nowhere within T&Cs or promotional emails, that is in fact the case. Means I'm out of luck - hope I...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This was my first thought. Why announce the Villains show when the obvious move is to shift MV3D to Sunset Showcase? Ah, Disney…

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I can’t comment on what plans may have evolved into, but IIRC the blueprint/plans did have a walkway in front of the building, but it was literally building-walkway-shoreline with no other land in between. I think further towards the Wedding Pavilion the plans also showed an expanded shoreline...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    So well put, this is exactly how I feel and was struggling to articulate.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I guess. I don’t believe that to mean much though, when it’s basically blue sky concept art.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Just a thought, are we sure they won’t be replacing BTMRR? ‘Take on wild terrain as you race across the landscape climbing mountain trails, dodging geysers and — Mater’s favorite — splashing through mudholes.’ These are all elements of the existing ride, and it’d sure be easier for them to...

    Poly Tower room types

    Any ideas when points will be announced and/or the tower will open to points bookings? I would want to say once they go on sale but with existing owners having access and there being less than 5 months till they open, I’m not so certain. Also there are 4 other resorts currently being sold, so...

    That’s what I suspect… Maybe the bus driver creates the concept art too?

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I had heard from a MK-Poly boat driver last week that they were getting Polynesian artists in to decorate the sides of the buildings but I presumed it to be the typical rumour mill. But this seems to confirm it could be true!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Yep. Always using the US site and I’ve tried incognito mode on chrome and private on Safari. I just tried 2 VPNs, too. And this is what is shown: Followed further down, where the link to start would be, by this:

    I don’t even get to that screen. I used to be able to. But now from the start of the process it stops me.

    May I ask using what technique and VPN? I’ve tried for months to no avail.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I have an AP. Re magic bands, I have also tried to buy them many times and you can’t even get close to try changing the shipping address - even under a VPN it says ‘guests cannot buy magicbands internationally’, never mind not just ship internationally. Just to add to this, you need a VPN to...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    It already will not allow you to purchase Genie Plus due to geo-location before even asking for dates etc. And I’ve tried a number of VPNs and it won’t work with that either.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Well, this website has confirmed no international preselecting. That is a true shame and will remove a lot of value in buying LL for international guests. It’s been coming for a while though, they’ve slowly been restricting international function as time has gone by, such as in app dining...

    This looks like it could result in a significant loss of parking spaces in the existing parking lot. I hope not, though! I realise there’s more parking coming at Island Tower but with the addition of rooms/guests I imagine it’ll still be an overall loss.

    I’ve heard it’s multiple dining locations. But I’m unsure whether this means a restaurant, bar and pool bar, or table service and quick service, for example. Many combinations could be had!

    Yacht Club Refurbishment for Some Rooms Slated For Early 2025

    I wonder if this is much to do with the rooms that allow dogs inside, and whether they require refurb sooner than others?

    EPCOT introduces new dishes at Coral Reef and Le Cellier

    They really need to rethink the plant based entrees at Le Cellier. They had some amazing impossible Asian dumplings for quite a few years, then they’ve replaced them with iterations of a tart/pie which have not really hit the mark.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Re points 1 and 2, DAS isn’t just a ‘free’ version of Genie for disabled people. It’s a way of avoiding physically queuing. You still have to wait the queue time to get on the ride. So in that sense it’s unlimited in the same way as it would be queuing physically.
