The ones you’ve set. “We go a lot…so we only do this”
We switched park reservations a few times last May and October and we had no problem. But it's another thing you have to remember to do. If you decide not to go to your reserved park but want to "park hop" later, you have to cancel the first reservation and get a reservation for the second park. All this increased "flexibility" has me longing for the old days of too much planning.Everything in the poll is already happeningbut I voted other -
Mine is park pass reservations and it has stopped me.
I know, I know, it's here to stay.
Maybe we will stop in once a year to attend one of the overpriced hard ticket events..
Really?…An oldie but a goodie.
Wait…you mean when the states and federal government where advising most everyone not to travel?
When was the last time you were there? Just curious
Well, the problem is that you're assuming that "we only do this" is because of something that Disney has done to limit us. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I can see it for some people, but not for us.
). Dinner somewhere, usually at one of the resorts, but sometimes at a park. Since we go during Flower&Garden and Food&Wine, we nosh around World Showcase for dinner quite a bit as well. If we feel like it, we might hit a different park at night for a few hours. Afterwards, a visit to the resort lounge to sit with the barkeeps. We also visit DS quite a bit, though we don't buy very much merch. We go for the food, beverage, and people watching while enjoying an adult beverage and Wetzel's Pretzel.
October, for our third trip last year.
You didn’t bother to read the whole post. So the expansion had a bad starting point. And the last patronizing judgement is of course not accurate.Well, the problem is that you're assuming that "we only do this" is because of something that Disney has done to limit us.

So a typical day at Disney. Up very early. Maybe breakfast. Hit the parks before rope drop and spend a few hours there. Lunch either at the park or at a resort. Back to the resort for hours of relaxing pool time and possibly nap time (don't judge - I'm older
I understand that you are completely disillusioned as far as WDW is concerned, and I get it, but it isn't how everyone feels.
Our trips are similar which is why we still find value in a WDW resort, parks at rope drop until early afternoon, then back to the resort for a few hours of cocktails and pool time, maybe a nap, then back to the parks for dinner and fireworks, a couple nights at DS to round out the trip.Well, the problem is that you're assuming that "we only do this" is because of something that Disney has done to limit us.

Ok…how did that go? Can’t remember where that was in the viral progression? Post delta/pre Omicron?
Sorry about the patronizing part. I'll delete that. I get going sometimes when people assume how they vacation is the same as everyone else and that if you do it differently, you are wrong (not you specifically, you understand).
Hmm, guess October was in between Delta and Omicron. We had a great time as always. We visited as I stated above.
Just to be clear…I never park commando…I just find half day and fireworks not of sufficient value for the price.
That I believe that style suits “you”…but it’s been accepted en masse and that would by default include many who want to not have to be pressure or do split days.
In a way you are correct, I do have enough money to go if it were worth it, but things happen when you get older and medical stuff starts to enter the picture. At that point you have to bet that you will live long enough to need that money in future years or do I just give up and spend it on what is almost beyond a luxury. Fun as it WAS, I have been there way more then that average American and if I have to choose to save it in an effort to stave off my final years dining on Alpo. However, that said, at what it cost for a comparable WDW holiday when I was younger, I would have thought that they hit the limit for what is an equal value of money vs. product.
Well, we don't get into a line that is longer than 20-30 minutes, with the one exception of FoP. I can't even remember the last time we were in a park at 12:30 in the afternoon. Just isn't us. Again, since it is just the 2 of us, and our kids are grown and married, we look at things a lot differently than folks bringing their younger kids. We don't really care about the fireworks, either. We can take them or leave them. Just don't care. I know we are in the minority on a lot of this, but maybe that's why it still has value for us, but not for others. We get to do what we want - and not because Disney is limiting us - but because that's what we want to do, so we are good.
Why! I used a scooter for the first time in my life at both Disney and Universal in Sept. 2019. I had a great time. Why wouldn't you?
It’s kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario… I can’t imagine paying $300 a night for POFQ and then just sleeping there, if you aren’t enjoying the amenities at the resorts they are kind of a waste of money. We ultimately spend more on the resort than we spend on tickets so our vacation style (in our minds) maximizes value at both while also allowing us to relax and enjoy ourselves.
We are like you in that we enjoy the resorts and the amenities there, and use them. We joined DVC so we didn't have to pay $300 for a night at POFQ. We're spending less that $200 (cost of dues for the points) per night to stay at the Poly on our next trip.
