    Security splitting up families / groups at entrances

    My visit in May 2017 was the first time I experienced actual security checks throughout Disney World. I found the security folks to be impersonal and slow. During my November 2019 vacation I found the security folks to be friendly and quick. My snarky guess would be that somebody reported...

    Is this the new standard and am I the only one who sees it?

    I just got back from our Disney World vacation and my wife I had a number of particularly good and particularly bad cast member experiences, so in a sense they somewhat net out. However, on Nov. 13th at about 10 AM when the monorail to EPCOT from TTC was down and they waited to tell folks until...

    What is something you ALWAYS do in Magic Kingdom?

    Eat fish and chips at that stand-up nautical restaurant across from the Haunted Mansion...assuming it's still there. We also go to the second floor and do elevated people watching. Which on preview looks like exactly what Texas84 said, assuming that's the name of the stand-up.

    ok, all you Punxsutaweny Phils of Disney world, what's your prediction for the future of WDW?

    For what it's worth, I think WDW will end up being the choice for companies to "buy out" for their executives and families as a perk, or to highlight a new product launch, or for "team bonding". Or middle class folks who get taken there by their more wealthy parents or grandparents, or the 1%...

    OK, what could Disney do in the parks that you would actually like?

    Too many limitations on FP+, it's like a lottery but you don't know if you win for weeks. I'm sure in 2019 something better could be devised between everyone with Magic Bands and AI. It's not like self-driving cars, we have the technology, we can make it better! And, maybe I'm too cynical...

    Doors Fail to Open on Monorail Yellow

    Clearly those Disney CMs didn't care or were very poorly trained (or thoroughly trained by bad managers). But keep in mind, this isn't like being in a motel that doesn't care. While staying at their "resort" you are basically paying to stay in a very large compound. I have stayed on...

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    I am very sad to hear about ROE being ended. I used FP+ specifically for good views of that show. Also please bear with me, what does the abbreviation "IP" stand for. Several posts have spoken negatively about IP being in the new show. All I could think of was "Intellectual Property". If...

    Do you think you would be a Disney fan if your first time was recently?

    For what it's worth, my answer is pretty simple. My first trip was on my honeymoon in 1978, and we've been back uncounted times since. Lately we have been staying in the Polynesian and Grand Floridian, but I despise the Fast Pass+ system, there is always construction going on, but nothing ever...

    So is anyone not going anymore? (I'm still a fan. lol)

    Since our honeymoon at WDW in 1978 I estimate we've visited 15 times (didn't keep track). We actually started liking it more once the "kids" were adults and my wife and I just went by ourselves. Plus we had more disposable income and tended to stay within the park (usually Poly or GF). I have...

    Trying to pick a week to stay at WDW early April 2014

    Yes, we could do May 5th to 9th. I know May can be pretty warm in Central Florida, but I suppose not the first week. Also one trip we arrived Sunday of Mother's Day weekend and that was busy, but that's not until May 11th this year. So unless someone else jumps in with possible problems on...

    Trying to pick a week to stay at WDW early April 2014

    Hi, my wife and I have been to Disney World many times, but each year the calendar is a little different. So I would appreciate input as we plan our April 2014 vacation, so that we don't hit a crazy week where the parks are super crowded. Details follow: - we will be park guests, probably...

    Advice on January trip to WDW?

    Thanks Parentsof4, mukta and myhappyplace, that is all very helpful. And yes, we were agonizing over which would be more crowded, the marathon or the MLK weekend, and decided on the Marathon weekend.

    Advice on January trip to WDW?

    We are celebrating our 35th anniversary in January and are returning to Disney World where we had our honeymoon in 1978. We are driving down from New Jersey (we often vacation down South). We have made reservations for 4 nites at the Poly the week of Jan. 14th, and were told that there were...
