    Some updated 50th Anniversary info - extended hours, etc.

    I wonder why Disney is now dividing the resort perks like this into "classes"? It makes me wonder if they don't feel the need to add perks to the Moderate and Value resorts to get people to stay there? Maybe there's enough pent up demand they don't feel the need to entice people to stay. As a...

    I Now Can Wait For An Annual Pass

    Just having fun thinking out loud. The reality is that we're well into the computer age where Disney can predict capacity and attendance with at least as much accuracy as "Touring Plans". ;) So instead of the relatively static blockout days from the old APs, I agree with all of the online news...

    I Now Can Wait For An Annual Pass

    Don't understand the question... Will they be available? ...who knows when? They were announced, but how long to get past this initial stage of pent up demand and ramping up park operations, not to mention juggling COVID limitations. Will my family buy them? ...depends on what kind of value...

    I Now Can Wait For An Annual Pass

    Depends on your definition of crowded. If the walkways are packed and RotR is a 15 minute wait, is that crowded? Lots of different ways to enjoy Disneyland, attractions, shows, dining and ambiance. The interesting thing about ticket books was that it attempted to decouple the experiences and...

    I Now Can Wait For An Annual Pass

    Watching these posts makes me appreciate the wisdom of the ticket books. ;) If a lot of the locals just want to hang out, then why not allow cheaper admission and then charge for the rides?

    Opening day strategies?

    Let's discuss packing for your upcoming Disneyland trip... Mobile ordering, and virtual queuing are going to be putting more demands on cell phones, so bringing extra battery power will be a must. Given the potential for loss/damage of masks on rides, important to bring replacement masks...

    Pin trading...

    I wanted to bring up the topic of pin trading. Now that Disney has cancelled the AP program and charging "full fare" for access to Disney, this is going to change the way locals (and pin traders) experience the park and interact with each other. My guess is that without APs, locals aren't...

    Park Re-entry?

    Does anyone know how DLR will handle park re-entry for park hoppers and one day tickets? My understanding is that park occupancy will determine whether guests are allowed to use the park hopping "feature" of their park hopper tickets. I didn't like the idea that there was no guarantee that the...

    Blizzard Beach Rope Drop Strategy? / General Questions

    Thanks! Is this THE AJ Wolfe from Disney Food Blog?!?!? Love your tips. Anyway, I wanted to follow up to thank everyone for their tips. It turns out that the locker rooms do have showers, and wall mounted soap. No spinners, but the heat helped to dry our clothes quickly. It is a common...

    Rope drop for FoP and Slinky Dog Dash question

    Our family visited WDW during Christmas break 2017 and July. During both visits, we tried to be at the bus stop 1.5hrs before the posted EMH opening times. During Christmas, the timing worked out well. AK Buses were dispatched early and TSL had yet to open at DHS. The 1.5hr timing didn't...

    Blizzard Beach Rope Drop Strategy? / General Questions

    We've had that experience at Disneyland. We got to open it. I need to do more research, but can't you just buy tickets via MDE iOS app?

    Blizzard Beach Rope Drop Strategy? / General Questions

    Just thought of another question. Is there any way to dry your swimsuit, or do you have to just airdry? I'm thinking of something like this: http://www.restroomdirect.com/swimsuit-spinners-spin-dryers.aspx

    Blizzard Beach Rope Drop Strategy? / General Questions

    Are the rinse showers outside in public areas or in the changing areas? Wondering if I should/could bring my own toiletries to wash the chlorine off?

    Blizzard Beach Rope Drop Strategy? / General Questions

    Ha! I could have been more verbose. ;) My primary interest is learning how to efficiently navigate the rope drop. Showers will be at the end of the day. I just started with rope drop questions and kept going...

    Blizzard Beach Rope Drop Strategy? / General Questions

    TL;DR Are locker prices as listed, or are there additional taxes/charges on the $10/$15 price? Which locker location (Frostbite Freedy's / Tike's Peak) is more efficient during morning rope drop? Do showers have soap? Are they just "rinse-off" showers? Fellow DISBoarders, I want to thank...

    The Panic Attack is officially OVER

    Congratulations. Once things slow down, I'll share some of my resources with this board. We created a FP+ selection worksheet we successfully used to help us navigate the MDE website when we're groggy at 4AM (We live in CA ;)). The worksheet has a lot of the information you describe so we can...

    Annual Passports, MagicBands and Lockers! (Oh my!)

    Might be an East Coast / West Coast thing. At Disneyland, they're called passports, so I thought that's what they were called at WDW: https://disneyland.disney.go.com/passes/

    Annual Passports, MagicBands and Lockers! (Oh my!)

    We took a family vacation to WDW during Christmas and got park hopper tickets that were attached to a room reservation. At the end of our vacation, we decided to convert our park hoppers to annual passports. So now I can see on our MDE app and website that the Magic Bands are now properly...
