    Don’t Stay Here - Disney's All-Star Sports Resort

    Did you make the Priceline booking in your daughters name? If the booking was in your name not hers you would have needed to call Priceline and modify it.

    Penguin Trek - Coming in 2024

    Its replacing the previous penguin dark ride in the antarctic area. So not another arctic themed ride. The arctic themed star tours style ride is dead.

    I Do Not Like It, Sam I Am! (A Curmudgeon's Review of Genie+)

    That problem was created by FastPass and particularly FP+. All Genie+ has really done is charged people for FP+ and forced them to wake up at 7am.

    Dining Plan?

    It was pre-2010 when the DDP was three courses. It stopped being great value around then when tips stopped being included on the plan too. It remained OK value until about 4-5 years ago, I think the addition of alcoholic drinks pushed the price up way high.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    Yep it’s quite awesome that almost 25 years on Spider-Man remains (probably) the best dark ride in the world. Just the synchronicity of everything pulling you into the ride is just perfection. Transformers is almost as good (the hidden lift to the second floor), but the story doesn’t pull you in...

    Photopass confusion

    Universals is run by an external company. You have a few weeks to download pictures but yes the three day pass is three consecutive days. You can get a 30 day package for $139 though if you want pictures for the whole week. https://presale.amazingpictures.com/UniversalFloridaBootstrap.aspx...

    Who else is anticipating Epic Universe?

    In a sense with those newer areas and with the Harry Potter stuff the A/B ticket is the land itself, there are almost walkthrough attractions by wandering the smaller parts of the lands.

    and you could argue that they are no more off the shelf than the plethora of spinning rides like Dumbo or boat rides at WDW

    Who else is anticipating Epic Universe?

    What are the off the shelf rides? It seems to have a lot of custom stuff I thought such as Mario Kart and Donkey Kong. Most coasters will be unique layouts same as Disney.

    idea on refillable mugs

    Yet somehow the Universal parks manage to find space for all that Freestyle infrastructure.

    Magic Band and Lost Kid

    Just use the sharpie to write your number directly onto the child! More seriously I’m sure I’ve read somewhere of a parent who used temporary tattoos to mark their details into their child.

    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    I think I saw somewhere it’s up to $22 now. But yep the value should just be 22 divided by length of stay. So for a seven night trip it’s about $3 a day for the mug which is barely anything in terms of the DDP value.

    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    Then is it actually possible to have a QS and a TS meal in the Magic Kingdom and break even on the DDP? Maybe if you went outside to Ohana instead, but at $59 that still doesn’t bump it up enough even if you add another $10 for alcohol it’s barely break even. At the other parks you could get...

    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    I would suggest taking a look at menus and prices then figuring out how much you might actually spend. You are likely to spend a lot less than you are expecting. Or you might want more snacks or other alcoholic beverages outside of meals. Allears.net is a good site for menus. For example at...

    How did you arrive at that budget? Was it based on the same structure as the DDP?

    Burgers come with fries in the combo anyway. So it is the entree combo as plated. No additional sides or dessert unless you use the snack credit. So as an example at Cosmic rays a cheese and bacon burger plus fries entree is $13 and a soda $4. That is the quick service credit. Then at the plaza...

    News Disney Dining Plan Returns in 2024

    It’s not a deal but doesn’t quite incentivise gluttony. I quite liked quick service lunch, table service dinner. The issue is you need to order the more expensive dishes to make the plan work out. So it incentivises have steak not chicken etc. the portion might not be much larger, just the type...
