We will not go back. Some, like us, will choose not to go back on principle of how Disney is not changing for the better. Some are just being priced out.

Disney did raise prices across the board……they did this by using addition by subtraction method. Look at everything going away and prices did not adjust, I’ll use magical express as exhibit #1

As long as the $$$’s add up, Disney could care less what their customers think

We had a social hall at a church in town ( not the one we were married at) that allowed you to bring in your own food and booze and decorate as you pleased. The meal was done by some ladies associated with that hall, I think we paid $2 a person for roast beef, polish sausage, potatoes...

I got married in the late 90s. My wife and I asked our parents to pay for expenses, and they did. Back then, we did a full meal/ reception for 400 people and open bar all night for about $5,000 and my wife’s mom bought her dress. My parents gave us $500 cash for our honeymoon, wife’s mom gave...

Peanuts on a plane…..never have stopped and no reason not to. Should we all have a hissy fit about things we don’t like and demand they are changed regardless of how silly they may seem?

In the entertainment business, you need to keep your product "fresh" by adding things, improving things, refreshing things. Disney used to do that. Now, even with the things they have added, they have taken so much away and have not even come close to replacing it. As many of us can see, the...

Like I said, are you ever going to satisfy EVERYONE ??? There is no way as some may be offended by the new theming etc. Going off "half cocked" and making changes thinking you are improving something, may actually introduce more offensiveness. Again, where does it end?

everyone has their own opinions on this, but it is far from "the right thing to do". Where does this "woke" nonsense end?

Disney has taken so much away, some of it never coming back, that if you went for your first time it may not even register that it is not the same. I, for one, will not be going back for a while. Not only the COVID changes, but just everything that is gone forever, no reason to rush back. I...

For our family, this has been the last straw for staying in the Disney "bubble" . Everything that now has a fee or cost more as well as those items that went away completely, we see no benefit of staying onsite anymore. Zero. Our kids are older (HS and college) and we have done many trips...

Many of the graduate students I hire (faculty member here) are not from the US and we pay them through GA's and RA's that include tuition remission. Going abroad as an un-funded grad student is possible, but make sure to investigate all avenues besides loans. After an RA or GA, I'd look for on...

Why not just use the GC's to pay for purchases as you make them instead of charging to your room? That would save nightly trips to the desk to pay your folio and be less of a headache. The only time I typically charge anything to my room is when I am at the water parks and I take nothing but...

Sounds like a headache to me ! Glad it worked out for you and thank you for sharing. I am sure this 2020 year put many people in a similar situation. I have a good 2% cash back card and I buy my GC's at Sam's to get their discount. I usually will go the same day my balance is due, buy the...

Some ideas here that are good to do. What has worked for our family? A budget and sticking to it. Within this budget, we have items (like investments and savings) that are automatic, so they get "paid" every month, just like a bill. In the last 15 years this practice has allowed us to build...

No one knows or can even honestly predict when WDW will be approaching Feb 2020 status. No one can safely "predict" or "guess" when WDW will eliminate masks. Unless there is data to support a "feeling" at best they are guesses.

seats are "usually" larger on a bigger plane, compared to a RJ. Slower to get on/off due to more people, but usually a smoother ride too.

I have used DME 6-8 times now and I have NEVER had to wait at MCO longer than a few minutes to get on a bus to my resort. The longest was about 20 minutes and that was only one time (we had just missed the prior bus leaving). Only had to "resort share" busses from MCO one time too. In 4-5 of...

Some great advice here from some and I'll chime in. I too am not associated with any investment or banking firm, I have learned how to do all of this on my own (by reading) and from some advice my dad provided. First, live within your means. Have a budget and stick to it. Once you are...

Nothing really to look forward to at WDW in 2021. Just being honest with myself that as much as WDW has gutted itself lately, the 50th anniversary is not going to be much more than a way to sell specific merchandise. What are these "parades" and "fireworks" you are talking about?
