News Round Up 2019

Does anyone know if the 4 Park Magic ticket has been available on UT in the past? The Mid-Day Magic ticket is currently available...so should I assume the other will show up soon? I'm really glad they brought those back since one day in each park is what we're planning on doing!
 
I don't think there is intent to directly hook in to the existing routes of the skyliner.
I don't think there is intent to connect every resort to every park via skyliner.
However, there will be routes that make sense.
I think there will be AK centric one.
I feel like there will be one to connect wilderness lodge, reflections and the campground area into the MK some how.
I don't think you'll see one cover larger distances like between ttc and epcot front gate.
If they were going to build one to connect WL and Reflections to MK it would be part of the plans for Reflections constructions.
 




They must really be behind on sales to put this offer out for Spring Break & Summer.
And bodes well for another FD summer/fall offering to drop again in January like last year. And then a second drop later in the year. At least as many offerings as last year if not more.
 
Don't anyone hold their breaths on Skyliner expansion. The Skyliner was built for one reason - to justify Riviera as a deluxe resort. If they were thinking of expansion they would have left room at the existing stations. They didn't.
I guess the dream would be to not expand the existing lines, but add new lines elsewhere. Like a line from All-Stars to AK .. or from AKL to AK (Still shocked AKL never had some sort of deluxe transport to its namesake park -- I mean All-Stars is just as close to AK as AKL is). (Or like some have mentioned -- a line from the Wilderness resorts to the TTC.

But .. like you mention, Disney isnt going to spend that money just to make things more convenient for guests. They will do it to draw people to certain resorts (or in the case of CBR, Pop, and AoA - be able to charge more).

So . .unless they need to draw guests to AKL or draw more guests to DS, I dont see a skyliner expansion either.

But .. ya -- if they were planning on expanding the Skyliner to say Disney Springs or the DS resorts, they probably would have left room at the CBR station. But maybe they will just expand the line with a new station and require a transfer?
 
I think folks are overly optimistic about more skyliner legs - at least in the foreseeable future (5 years). I also think in the WL/FW/Reflections is a likelyhood of near zero. With only one park nearby and an already "unique" method of transport (boat) i just don't see it happening.

The potential for an AKL/DAK/CSR/DHS route is more likely, but again I don't see them doing that unless they choose to build another deluxe/DVC resort on that route. I think a DS/SSR/OKW link to Epcot likelyhood is absolute zero. DIsney does not want easy access from Disney Springs to the parks.

They can fix that just by charging for parking at DS. :)... I mean they started charging for parking for their resort guests? Why not there. It is not uncommon for shopping centers with garages to charge for parking. They even have garages now to provide a nice convenient choke point to charge them.

But .. ya .. that is a good point.
 
ugh, tried to book the Early Morning Magic for our upcoming trip (after the announced Cinderella special theming for it that convinced us to do it) - well it gave me an error on the website when I tried to book it BUT my credit card was charged (but no confirmation number or anything). I am not on the phone with Disney Dining but there is no option of "push X" for when there is an error online only 1) Cancellign within 24 hours, 2) party is too large to book online or 3) restaurant you want is not online ... and now in a 90 minute estimated hold

I hate the automation of calling not just at Disney but anywhere. I get that some questions you can be directed for but there should ALWAYS be an option to talk to a human.
