Tuesday is Hershey Park.
How's that for a busy schedule??

Btw...the 58 guest party is catered in a banquet hall. I should not have used the word "hosting". We chose the venue...chose the menu....hired a cello and harp duet team and on and on it goes...so we feel like we are the hosts...if that makes any sense.

They are dropping Genie+ and will now have two lightening lane options. The first will be LIGHTENING LANE MULTI PASS, which appears to be the same as the old Fastpass+ except now you have to pay for it, but it seems, at least on the surface to be more flexible and can be reserved before you even get to the resort. The second will be LIGHTENING LANE SINGLE PASS and appears to be select attraction with charges or what Lightening Lane is now.

I just found out the acoustic version of One Little Spark that plays after Luminous is on Spotify. I think I found a new song to add to my end of year video next year.

One other thing I forgot to mention in my general thoughts from my trip... I noticed a LOT of VIP tours this trip. I typically only notice a few each trip, but I probably saw 3-5 groups a day wandering the parks. My brother looked up the prices, and holy cow.

All the youtubers are doing them too which causes the masses to use them

I took the gang ( the mom was not in the photo ) to Historic Allaire Village where everything from 1830 is frozen in time. Here is the dad and three kids at the Blacksmith Shop.

That's on my long list of places to get back to. It's just that little bit too far to make it a super easy day trip with the boys

Prices range from $450 to $900 per hour ... minimum 7 hours, for a total of $3150 to $6300 for the "day".
If you're going on a day that's priced at $450/hr, something tells me that you probably don't need to pay for a tour.

Expensive but doable if you max out at the allowed 10 people, but gets incrementally more dear the smaller your group is. Theme park ticket is still on top of this.

I'm not sure the masses are using the VIP tours, but as @PUSH indicated, maybe more are as they become aware of it.

My former boss did it a few years ago. She is worth 10's of millions, maybe hundreds of millions ... so again, not really a member of the masses. A common misconception is that you get immediate front of the line access, but she said they stood in FastPass lines (now LL, soon to be something else), so some waits were still in the 15 minute range.

All of this being said, if I had the money and nine friends chipping in, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

A lady was very upset because she thought she got into the VIP area for Happily Ever After because she bought Genie+. She was very upset with the CMs, and she complained to my parents about it. It took everything in me not to correct her and tell her how much it actually costs to get that roped off area, and if all Genie+ users got access, there would be hundreds of people in that little area.

Sunset at work

Sylvester Stallone, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Arnold Schwarzenegger were discussing making a new movie that's a drama, rather than an action film.

Arnold said, "How about a movie about the great composers?" The others agreed that it was a great idea. They discussed who they were going to play.

"I'll be Beethoven," said Stallone.

"I'll be Mozart," said Jean-Claude,

"What about you, Arnold?" they asked. Schwarzenegger replied, "Don't make me say it, boys!”

You won't have to cross the border to buy whatever they're calling FP this week as you can now purchase in Canada

Excellent news. I haven’t been online here all day, so I’m sure I’m dozens and dozens of pages behind in that thread.

Thank you for the heads up.

Now step into your time machine and backdate that entire experience to the pre-Genie+ days where you would probably have just shrugged it off as "one of those things"... because FP+ was FREE!

Free takes the sting out of a lot of situations.

I just read that the new system will not be available to foreigners until they reach the US. So if the 7 day planning window opens, and they aren't already in the US, they can not book their LLs. So all the good LLs will be taken before we even reach the US and are allowed to book. Even people staying OFF property get to book 3 days in advance. So there is literally NO benefit for foreigners to stay on property now. The only perk left is entry to the park 30 minutes before off-property guests, and that's not really a big enough perk to make up for this. What is Disney THINKING?? How does that even work? They would have to somehow exclude foreigners from using the app. It doesn't make any sense to do this.
