Have parking lot trams returned at all four parks?

Trams have only returned to Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.

Mk and DAK. Definitely not Epcot. I'm not sure about studios but I think not.

Does anyone know if they are phasing out regular magic bands for pre-order for trips? We were going to get some for our trip next year and there are only 5 available!

Is this still a supply thing? or will the new one be released soon?

Mine only show 4 available none a solid color, but going directly to ShopDisney shows completely different ones available including solid.

That's absolutely unacceptable, and its amazing that guests are willing to accept the absence of such a basic, necessary service. It's a stark indicator of how much garbage Disney fans are willing to accept.

This is a very, very useful thread and the poster maintaining it should be thanked profusely. That said, listing the trams as having returned when half are still absent is misleading.

I believe Akershus will be returning relatively soon.

Meh overpriced crap food. It's only reason people go there is to see Anna and Elsa

Anna and Elsa have never appeared at Akershus.

I remember eating there a few years ago and thinking it was pretty bad too. I don't believe the Frozen characters are there but other princesses are.

Still over priced food.

I know it's Disney and you expect to pay more but I've found better options on I-DRIVE. I know people love the bubble but there is so much of in Orlando food wise outside the gates.

Well duh. It’s located inside a Disney theme park. And part of the cost at any character meal is for the experience of meeting the characters.

Damn, now I sound like a Disney apologist. Not excusing, just explaining.

Interesting, given that they never appeared at the restaurant.

FWIW, I actually found the food to be better than a lot of the other character meals, including the Royal Table.

Oh really?? I lived there for five years and found that the Orlando food scene isn't anything to brag about. It's all just about the same overpriced mediocre mess you get in the theme parks. Are there some exceptions, absolutely yes (Maxine's and La Boucherie come to mind). But overall, the food scene in Orlando leaves much to be desired.

We usually get a TikTok first to tease the return. This happened with other entertainments on both coasts. Then was a couple months from there until the actual return.

So until we get that, fear we are fars away from F!'s return.


February amirite

Fantasmic is probably getting the axe at this point. Maybe they’ll put a new DVC tower where the show building used to be. They can flip that for a quick profit.

The food at akershus was good, especially the breakfast. In comparison to other character breakfasts it was high quality.

I-drive isn't but there are some really great restaurants in and around the city. Lots of gems! Orlando is definitely bustling and it's not near the parks.

any news regarding

Souvenir Resort Hotel Delivery?

Really surprised this hasn’t returned yet. I don’t even bring a bag/pack to the parks because I don’t want to have to carry stuff around all day. Pre-COVID I would always send purchases back to my hotel. For me to be willing to carry something around all day, the bar for “how badly do I want something” is much higher. I can’t imagine I’m the only one in this boat either…
