    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    it would be about time. it was my kids favorite disney movie for years. "little patch of heaven" is an amazing song. My "kids" by the way, are now 21 and 19, and think the bears are the worst thing in all of disney. they have been outdated for 20+ years, and honestly, only old people like them...

    Choice of restaurants

    oh, and we have only done san angel 2x since the 90's...and it was awful, both times. don't expect good mexican food. I've had better experience with quick sevice tacos by the water in mexico.

    Choice of restaurants

    Where do you live? What do you normally eat? Do you live in an area with a variety of ethnicities and food types you normally try? Do you go out for korean, thai, vietnamese, etc.? I've heard people call skipper "exotic", but it's mainly thai adjacent kind of food, not too spicy. we had to ask...

    What is the best ride you have ever been on?

    My two faves right now are both from UNI. 1. Velocicoaster -huge thrill, but amazingly constructed and smooth. I have neck issues, so I stopped riding the rough ones like space mtn. a few years ago, but Velocicoaster does not hurt at all, and it is thrilling. 2. Hagrids motorbike. I think the...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I guess I'm the only one who is just tired of Indy? Like, maybe 20 years ago, but putting it in now is just lazy to me. We don't have to have everything the same at WDW and DL. Encanto at least looks new and fresh.

    Living With The Land Narration

    I think the main reason for me, is that people seemed to shut up and listen more. With the recorded narration, people seem to just talk over it constantly. (though it could just be the overall move to more rude bahavior).

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Believe it or not, A lot of DAS users already use Genie+, in addition to their DAS, to make their day easier. I don't know numbers, but I've heard it used as a strategy to truly up your chances of riding everything. So it might not change that much from new DAS rejections.

    Disney executives staged revolt against Chapek

    I feel like my crazy conspiracy theory came to life. I jokingly said when this started that Chapek agreed to be the fall guy for a ton of money. They wanted him to do all the bad stuff, charge everyone a ton of money, add in genie, take all the covid hits, then he'd be retired and they would...

    Family of 4 but kids don't want to sleep in same bed

    We have done Swan with a pullout, the AOA nemo suites, and the riverside. two teens, male and female, and everyone wants their own space. Swan with a pullout was great, but we also adore the pool area there, and the hotel, in general. they just rolled a bed in for us for like $10-20 extra...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I don't know- paying for genie+ and hoping you get a few good passes sure feels like gambling to me... ;)

    With all the recent changes, have they impacted you wanting to go to Disney any time soon?

    We went in August and had an ok to good time, not our best ever trip, but still pretty good. Missed characters and restaurants and some other magic, but it was understandable with Covid. Went in November for the run weekend, and had some fun, but the genie just decided for me that I'm not going...

    Swan/Dolphin worth it?

    We use lyft when we stay there for ak or mk, so I don't know about the buses. Transportation to hs and epcot are fantastic. The pool is amazing, the food is better than much of what is on property, the beds are better. It also has a great little quick service coffee shop, that has some great...

    Two people in party with Genie questions/mobile ordering

    My teens will be in the park without us. I'm wondering if one of them puts the genie app on their phone, will it still be connected under my genie? I am just wondering if they could do mobile ordering in the park on the app, but since it's still attached to my account, it can charge the cc...

    What’s POSITIVE about disney recently?

    I really like Toy Story Land/new rides. Genie has one good thing- it seems to work way better than the other old app, and it has mobile ordering and suggestions, looks cleaner, easier to navigate. I don't love the paying for ILL or genie +, but I'm actually liking the app update itself...

    and no extra person added to talk to all day... ;) the one time we did a vip tour, it was...awkward (but I'm not a very good people-person).

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    and not being SURE months ahead, that you will absolutely be getting at least one ride on all the 'BIG/NEW' rides. At the 60 day mark, if I didn't get one ride on everything that mattered, I could cancel my whole trip. (and I also, made sure we got at least 2x the rides that mattered- Disney's...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Exactly. I am just. so. tired. bone tired. exhausted. I have the money. I'm in the zone of income they may be targeting. But I'm just . so. done. So tired of having to make this a hobby.. why? I go to Dublin, or Spain, or Aruba, it isn't this much WORK. Why should I do all this work, for...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    The Uni pass needs no scheduling, which everyone always forgets. Uni pass I can just stroll from one to the next, and enter when I want. It is immensely more relaxing than trying to book things, then book more things. Also, it's included for "free" with a deluxe hotel, which is cheaper than a...
