    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    ... you're talking about the company that got rid of the Magical Express bus because "uber". From what I've seen the overwhelming majority of people agree that the move is as counterintitive as it could possibly be. All long term loss, for very short term gain. It's the same as every single...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    It's kind of funny/sad... I play Disney Emoji Blitz, which was a pretty fun game until it was sold off to Jam City. Jam City turned it into a bit of a slog, whereby the focus is on how to milk as much $$$ from players as possible. And limiting how much you can play, or how many emojis you can...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    I'd consider it if it's the same deal (luggage from plane to hotel, transportation, etc). But honestly, now I'm just going to go with the pure $$$ consideration of whether it's worth it to do that when I can just stay at another location for hundreds/thousands less. We're staying at Disney and...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    I'm late to this party, but wholeheartedly agree. We love staying on-site. If we're honest, it's always been a bad financial decision. But not having to worry about anything made it worth it in our minds. Magical Express made sure that you're immersed in the "Disney bubble" from the moment...

    News Disney joins the U.S. Travel Association in campaign to boost travel - "Let's Go There"

    We're waiting for a different set of words before we head back: "vaccine is ready".

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    You need to read some of the responses in this thread. A lot of us Americans act like Veruca Salt (Willy Wonka character) if not allowed to do whatever they want. Then act with "shock/disbelief/scorn" when they see the giant crowds of folks totally ignoring social distancing, face masks, etc...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I know. It's another province (kind of like saying "another state"). And it's their prerogative. We'll see if it works out for them. I do hope it does, because working from home for almost 2 months now is incredibly boring. However, few people over here think it will. I'll look kindly...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Then there's the last paragraph... "That and other factors have led disease modelers to lower their fatality estimates, with the main model used in the US predicting 60,415 deaths by August, assuming social distancing measures are kept in place until then." We hit 60,000 today!! 😳

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    There is no perfect safe place. Full stop. The only way we can get back to normal is if we've started testing properly and we have a way to manage the disease. If we don't, it'll explode again. At this time we have not treatment at all for this and to the best of our knowledge no one is...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Most higher education is going online. I know the university here is doing so. All classes have continued, just online. However regular schools will not have the resources, training, or tools necessary to do so. Unless the school your kids attend happens to have enviable resources. So most...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    It's my understanding that these things (if we're lucky) come in waves. The first dies off around Summer, only for the second to start near Fall, and a third around Winter. That's what happened with the Spanish Flu. If we're unlucky, this thing doesn't react at all to Summer, and it continues...

    News Walt Disney World will not host any further Night of Joy events

    I guess I was one of the few people left who had no idea about this festival or what exactly happened while it was running. So I just had to look it up... Wow... Just wow.... :jawdrop::eek:

    GQ Style magazine publishes first ever menswear fashion shoot at Walt Disney World Resort

    I guess I'm not good with fashion. Without even getting into the weird juxtaposition of men's 'serious' and 'cutting edge' fashion and Disney characters, the short pant legs with those shoes looks really weird to me.

    Planet Hollywood unveils redesign for Disney Springs

    Good lord... The food looks, quite frankly, horrible... The salmon and steak look boring and bland as possible. And the burger and desserts look like the end result of someone asking a 6 year old to throw things together to "make food". It's like their end goal was "indigestion".

    Adventureland Smoking Section Removed

    Nope. Neither is understanding that "self entitled" in this case would be the folk still lighting up where they're not allowed to do so.

    Adventureland Smoking Section Removed

    Personally, I'm happy about it. I've always had a strong dislike for cigarette smoke. But that's just me. My two cents: Smoking's banned in most places in the United States nowadays. Somehow the world has not come to an end. And smokers have somehow (willingly or not) adjusted to this...

    Vince Camuto opens first store in Central Florida at Disney Springs

    It could be just me, but I'm kind of tired of hearing about "Disney Springs". It seems to be just a glorified shopping mall. It doesn't really appear to have much "Disney" in it. Or am I missing something?

    VIDEO - Symphony in the Stars A Galactic Spectacular firework debuts at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It's not "Frozen". That by itself makes it good enough in my book. :-)

    Flights of Wonder at Disney's Animal Kingdom to be added to FastPass+

    .... Ok. I'm a fan of FP+, but Flight of Wonder?!? Really? What's next, FP+ for the "street" performers? I'm suddenly believing those folks who say we'll soon need FP+ for the bathrooms! Sheesh!
