    Wow! Chapek is out!

    Story: https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/20/media/disney-bob-iger-ceo/index.html Bit short but will be updated as news developed. Kinda shocked. But not really I guess. Looks like Disney listened to those of us complaining about the money grab! Might need to reconsider taking a year or two off now.

    Blue Bayou menu

    The online/in app menus are know to have inconsistencies. I've had success with using the online support to report missing items.

    1st Time July Visit: Best/Worst Days?

    Mondays are the worst now. I would try to hit the parks Thursday through Sunday if you can. Based on your proposed schedule above, i would go to Disneyland on Saturday and Sunday.

    Trip review - 10/31-11/2, Genie+ complaints/meh.

    I think the COVID vacation backup surge is still going on. Many visitors are going back for the first time still. once that fall off, and with the decline of the park experience, maybe Disney will wake up.

    Help with Disneyland/universal planning

    If you purchase the unlimited fastlane pass at Universal, it's a one day park. Might be worth it to optimize your Disneyland experience with as many days possible.

    Radiator Springs Racer

    Don't ride it. The hills do function like drops, you get a small bit of "air time" as well.

    What ADRs are worth getting?

    For my family on the last two trips, nothing was really worth it. We've been feeling too tied down by reservations. LLs, and trying to make show/firework start times. We had the best time with no plans whatsoever! It's good to take a break.

    Genie+ has GOT TO GO!

    Disneyland's system forces people on a ride at a particular time. Factor in breakdowns and MEPs, it's hard to control. If LL did not have restricted return times, I think it would be far more manageable due to standard crowd flows.

    Genie+ has GOT TO GO!

    Universals system works, Disneyland's system doesn't. We visited Universal back in October 2021 and had a great time with their fastlane system. Was it pricey, yes. But it kept the standby lines manageable. Disney really needs to increase the price and limit the number of sales. Flex pricing...

    Multiple Experience Pass

    When we used our MEP at rides like Alice where the cast member needs to scan, we noticed that sometimes it takes a bit for the pass to disappear. in one case we were able to use the same pass on Alice, Toad, and Casey Jr.

    Gift Card re-fill?

    Once you register the gift cards on the website, be sure to keep them even when fully depleted on the site, or at least one gift card. For future trips, when you register a card, if it gets lost you can quickly transfer the balance to one of the empty cards. If you don't have the empty on hand...

    I'm never taking WDW for granted ever again

    Last October was just as bad. it was the first time we felt like not coming back for a while due to the crowd size and other issues. Our new golden rule is to avoid October like the plague!

    GRAND CALIFORNIAN ROOM VIEW HELP

    We've stayed in courtyard view rooms, pool view rooms, and a park view room. Our favorite is actually the cheaper of the three, courtyard. It's very quiet, neat to see the monorail go by, and very nice out on the balcony. We stay away from standard, don't want a view of the parking lot for that...

    I'm never taking WDW for granted ever again

    A bad experience will do that to your opinion of Disneyland. I would encourage you to try again at some point outside of the now super crazy Halloween season.

    Costco VS Disney

    I usually avoid package deals if you have any chance of changing your plans, wither the dates or upgrading tickets or hotel later on. It's usually a pain to do so when things are bought in a package. In particular when buying packages through Disney.

    I think we've reached our breaking point

    My family will be taking a break from our annual visits for a while. Same thoughts, too expensive for what you get right now. If upkeep and lines were a bit better, it would be worth it. Our last trip in August felt like things were barely running and poor maintenance was very noticeable...

    First time Disneyland Questions

    If I recall correctly, you need to wait for the window for the LL for RotR to go past 1pm in order to book. If you have a hopper it won't let you book for a time that you can not enter the park.

    DLR to LAX on a friday evening? Time?

    Agreed, always assume the max google maps estimate. Cross your fingers for no accidents/road work or any little bit of rain as well.

    River Belle Terrace breakfast ending???

    You can send a message to support in the app somewhere. I had success with missing items off of mobile order menus not showing up. It was fixed pretty quick.

    We had our last October trip last year. it was pretty packed and not as enjoyable. December easily.
