    Your favorite Candlelight Processiinal presenter

    My favorite was Marlee Matlin. She conveyed so much emotion with her hand movements while signing. I also enjoyedNPH, Gary Sinise, Trace Adkins. John Stamos was good too - you could really tell he enjoyed the entire experience.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Are you going into the parks just looking for things to complain about? I just got back from a one week stay and I had plenty of fun. Yes I noticed some attractions down throughout the day and even was evacuated off of the People Mover. I didn't rope drop so I didn't see any of your so-called...

    do you have a strategic plan for the parks or do you just wing it?

    I use TP to set up an initial agenda for each park day, then when I get in the park I let current conditions dictate if I call any audibles.

    JWST added to Mission:Space

    FWIW - Just before the 'the space station should be coming into view now' narration following the launch, Disney inserted the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Granted, it is located nowhere near it's correct orbit, but I thought it neat that they would add that current events touch to the...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    I just got back from a 1 week trip (6th-13th). Let me start by saying I can see how G+ would not generate the same successes if the parks were any busier than they were (highest TP park level was a 5 for EP, most of the rest ranged from 1s at MK to 3s at HS). But I enjoyed using G+. Like some...

    News Major renovation coming to Disney's Magnolia Golf Course at Walt Disney World

    I don't know that the scope grew as much as they wanted to keep the course a par 72. My guess is that the current 14th green will be moved to the tee box side of the pond fronting it, the new 15th tee will be where the current 14th tee is, then they will move into the woods behind the current...

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    My .02: I have never done a MNSSHP, but several MVMCP. I attended the Boo Bash last Friday (9/10). I had a great time, enjoyed the short waits, and the free snacks (I honestly think I did eat $139 worth of ice cream sandwiches ;)). I saw Maleficent roll through Liberty Square, and did see the...

    2021/2022 Bus Crowds and Housekeeping

    POR is scheduled to open later this year. It's been closed since March 2020. Housekeeping is now every other day trash and tidy. Sorry you had goop and mildew. Did you report it to Housekeeping?

    Disney After Hours BOO BASH

    Ordered my tix last night for Sept 10. Linked it in MDE. All good. Today I get a UPS notification that I am expecting a 2nd day letter and it appears it will have my Boo Bash Ticket. I am also getting one for the Photo Pass I ordered last night as well.

    Should the 2020 WDW Christmas Day parade mention the massive layoff situation?

    My first thought to this idea is - how patronizing can you get?? Sure - let's tell the 28,000 people who got laid off how much we miss them.

    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    Just another ‘look at me trying to do something’. I just wish she cared about her constituents here in MA instead of her national grandstanding.

    Should I cancel since there's no FP+, fireworks, limited dining, etc.? When will it return?

    I have not read all the posts in this thread, but I read enough. If you are asking now whether you should cancel your April trip, then I would cancel. There is no guarantee WDW will be in any capacity that you seem to be desiring and from what I have seen and read, most of what you require will...
