    1 BR Villas at GF vs 2 BR OKW

    We’ve a 2 bedroom booked for OKW this August, but I’m starting to get the fear as to the resorts size… I was thinking of avoiding driving. Noticed that with the current offers, for the same money, we could get two extra nights (14 total) for a 1 bedroom at VGF. Disney’s site reports that the...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Same. Not a hope I'm going till it's gone. Same story for my brother in laws family and he's not in the least bit cost sensitive. He'd go 2 weeks, do the private tour thing every year and even with that option, he's done. Just not worth the hassle otherwise. Although he endorsed Genie in...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Genie plus was the straw that cancelled our planned trip next month. Premier Access didn't stop us going to Paris in April. The Ultimate version hadn't launched then (it really is unwarranted for anything other than day guests), but if you're prepared to spend it offers an even easier time...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    It was 3 Family rides or 3 Thrill rides starting at 30/45euro (off-peak/peak) One time use for all rides for 60/90 euro and unlimited for 120/150 euro. I mentioned this in the DLP forum, but the Premier Access use barely registered in the whole of last week when we were there. This was when...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Again, I was stunned how little the PA was being utilised during last week when it was at full capacity. I wouldn't be surprised to see them offer some version of the previous paid fast pass system within a year or two (3 x Thrill rides, 3 x Family rides). Not to mention some incentive to...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Unfortunately, it stopped working soon after. Didn’t see it moving our entire trip. Also, the main 30th banner under the train station didn’t spin either. Odd, given the superb weather.

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Thanks. I could have checked that in the parks, but I didn't really want to, if catch my drift. My sales resistance would have been extremely low and ignorance was really the way to go for my wallet. As I said, we only spent a few hours in the Studios, but Rat was a 60 minute wait. PA was...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Just back from a five day trip. I didn't see the Annual Pass office open once! Would have popped in if fate deemed it to be... probably for the best, as I more than likely wouldn't have justified it. edit: while I'm here... The castle park looks absolutely phenomenal at the moment. I...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I think you're on to something there. But instead of it just being above you, how about the exterior is all around you. Like a floating glass box in space. It'd be a challenge and small (pools on cruise ships tend to be tiny besides) but it'd be something different. I'm sure an older Disney...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    Testing hasn't really been much of an issue when it was a requirement for travel within Europe and I can't imagine that'll put many off who have waited two years getting back to Florida. The vaccination situation on the other hand is something a lot of people are paying a close eye on. That...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    I’m so curious as to how this will be received when IAS goes live. Disney’s usual overhype hasn’t had a specific dollar amount attached to it in the past, and I reckon that expectation will bite them in the right here. As I said before, it’s not a bad ride, it just fine, okay, acceptable...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    The restaurant was great and one of the few places we got decent food there. Also, the outside area was lovely, but yeah that ride. It just needs a whole lot more physical props and scenery to better integrate with the screens. It’s just moving from one large empty room with a screen to another...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I keep on seeing Rat cited as the example that people will be paying LL+ for. And I just can’t help but wonder how those people will react to it. If it’s a one to one clone of Paris then I’d be extremely disappointed to have a spent a single cent extra. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad, but it...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Guess I’m cancelling my 11 nights at Rivera then. Sure someone will fill it, and Disney will earn some more more money over our park tickets, but we’d be insane to not save a couple of grand by staying offsite.

    They might want to start putting back some of those benches then.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    The rumoured addition of Lightening Pass Plus make me think that they've created an even higher tier in order to throw a regular LP bone to their onsite guests. Either way, this is a complete balls and i'll be cancelling my 11 night stay at Riviera (already cancelled my twice postponed DLP...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    I've no idea now what I've gotten now with the holiday I booked for July 2022 last month. None. Are the 14 day tickets still valid? What's happening with FP? I honestly wished I wasn't so trigger happy and just left it a while.

    Wow, not even a layer of abstraction so you don't feel gouged. I hope they can take blood for those who forget/don't have their cards on them.

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    So, this day next year we're due to arrive at Riviera. It'll be the first time back to WDW since joining here post visit nine years ago. It'll be my first time with kids. The only way I've somewhat justified the exorbitant cost of staying onsite is a tenuous reasoning surrounding convenience...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    I’ve completely wiped that from memory. Must be the lingering trauma of shelling out for unlimited bands for one of our days.
