We always go the 2nd and 3rd week in June and this is the first year that I only saw 1 small tour group from Puerto Rico. It was touring families and maybe the size of 30 people. We saw no other groups in almost 12 days. Usually we see many groups and in much bigger groups.
Yes...it typically is feast or famine down there....
Have you ever experienced a domestic tour group? Soccer, Cheerleaders? ALL of them cut in front of you!!
Neither do the domestic groups....
They do, and I hope they are able to catch their breath. I wonder if Disney's plan is to lower attendance by raising prices is only temporary? While giving Shanghai attention? Only to follow with many discounts this Fall/Winter?
We noticed only a couple of domestic groups, but did not arrive until the weekend (Friday 4:00ish). Again, we were shocked it was only moderately busy, and certainly not packed. Must mention the weather again...it did rain Saturday...
We only saw a couple too...very surprised/pleasantly shocked....
You did...and if the Brazilian economy continues (it will) to tank, the prices are going up anywho
Keep checking back...stalk the site until your deal appears...it WILL happen
) and I needed to replace a Dory antennae topper that disappeared from my car a month ago (I couldn't find Dory toppers anywhere today) I thought it was pretty busy for a Monday at 3pm, though it was like a ghost town in the new area that looks like an outlet mall. People were carrying Starbucks drinks, but no shopping bags all around DTD.
Forgot about the family reunions....saw a few of those as well and they were well behaved...
Oh we're already booked.. I was just hoping for a discount to come out later in the summer and save some money. But if monorail resorts are full then I don't know if there will be any discounted rooms. I'm remaining hopeful though
The no bags thing could be tourists shipping stuff home or even back to their resort. I hate carrying bags around so ship everything (most things) when I'm on vacation.I was in the area today (Mon June 20th) and I stopped to check out Disney Springs and see if the grab bags have returned to Fun Finds (they have not
As far as recent tragedies affecting behavior? There was a family wrangling their 4 y/o ish twins with dog leashes looped around their waists..grandma looked like she was trying to reel in big trophy fish in rough seas while the older kids were trying to direct foot traffic around their chaos..the leashes looked new, but maybe they keep track of the kids like that at home and just bought new blue leashes at WalMart for this trip. To me it just seemed like a last minute solution/over reaction and it was the first time I have seen actual dog leashes used on kids anywhere. I saw about 10 uniformed Sheriff's deputies total in small clusters here and there, but guests did not seem overly alert/worried in their surroundings.
It is easy to modify your reservation online.....if the discount pops up, jump on it!!Oh we're already booked.. I was just hoping for a discount to come out later in the summer and save some money. But if monorail resorts are full then I don't know if there will be any discounted rooms. I'm remaining hopeful though
This is scary for me. I used a TA for the first time, and I'm a control freak who has to place my trust in someone else to snag a discount. Not an easy task for me lol
Regardless, make sure you create (if you don't already heave one) a WDW account and link your reservation.....
I do thanks. I just can't modify it without going through her.
Yeah that's the frustrating part. She's so nice and helpful though. It will be our first time on DCL and she really is giving me such great advice, and with the cruise once you book there is really nothing to do anyway..that I would need her to change.
Oh ya it is any group, but I was just commenting on the groups from South America. I've experienced cheer groups etc. But still I think the Brazilian groups tend to be more rude if you know what I mean.
There is always hope............Sounds like heaven
Hope it stays that way for this weekend.
