    Poll: Which Animal Kingdom Show?

    We know that we are going to see the Festival of the Lion King show on our Animal Kingdom day. But we also want to try to see ONE other show and can't decide between Feathered Friends in Flight or the Finding Nemo show. If you have seen both, which one would you most recommend we go to? (ETA-...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    I think it will launch right around the same time as the new Tiana ride opens.

    Going from Ohana Breakfast to Epcot

    We are hoping to do breakfast at Ohana on the same day that we go to Epcot. Not hoping to rope drop, but wanting to get there late morning. At first I was thinking of using an Uber, but then I realized that taking the monorail might be fun. I have never taken a monorail to Epcot before.... How...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    I have been thinking this too. It seems unlikely to me at this point that they will initiate Genie+ changes before Tiana's Bayou Adventure opens, because they would probably have to make some changes to tiering and/or ILLs again (at MK) after it opens. So it makes sense for those two things to...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    That is true, but that's also already what happens at the 2-hour mark. Genie+ has a lot of good about it, but setting a timer for 2 hours that goes off while I am trying to enjoy a show or while riding Rise of the Resistance really kills the mood of the moment.

    Rumored Changes to G+

    As far as answering if anything is going to change (and how similar it will be to Fast Pass, and when changes might come)... I refer you to this article that was posted a few pages back on this thread (believe it is written by someone more "in the know" that us)... Click on the link quoted below....

    Refurbs bumped to 2025

    I had my heart set on Kidani Village for our Disney trip in March 2025, but I saw that it’s being renovated next year—can anyone weigh in on how much of an issue that’s likely to be? (noise, less room availability, etc)

    Rumored Changes to G+

    It seems like the rumors are saying that the changes will involve the ability to pre-book LLs. So I'm curious why you expect to still need to wake up at 7:00 on vacation to make the reservations? I agree, that is the most annoying part and I was hoping that the changes would at least solve that...

    Poll: How many times have you been to Disney World in the last 10 years?

    Reading these boards always makes me wonder how frequently posters here visit Disney World. So just for the fun of it I thought I would create a poll! This is specific to Disney World, so if you have gone to other Disney parks in the last 10 years, don't count those trips when answering this...

    Former president of Disneyland resort says WDW doesn't feel magical

    I definitely agree that the upselling and need to pay for Genie+ isn't "magical"... but I love making the reservations, love looking at my account, and love having the app (which I obsessively stalk leading up to my trip). For me the need to plan is a huge part of the fun and doesn't take away...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    Look, I am just sharing what my personal experience and opinion was like. I don't mean to sound like a complainer or like I didn't still enjoy my vacation to Disneyland or that I regret getting Genie+. I really appreciated having it as an option and we had a blast on our trip! It sounds like you...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    2 minutes 15 times a day is a lot when you are trying to engage with your family or enjoy things around you. Add that to having to think about timing constantly and set timers on your phone for the next LL (which always seems to go off in the middle or a ride or show), etc, and it just takes...

    Rumored Changes to G+

    As much fun as we had at Disneyland this past summer and as well as Genie+ worked for us, one big downside was how glued I was to my phone. I didn't realize how much of a factor this was for me until I think back on it and how I was checking the app constantly while walking through every queue...

    WISH - Disney Easter Eggs (warning: spoilers included)

    I really really liked it! Such a cute movie. And SO FUN to have all the references to past Disney movies. What a special way to commemorate the 100th anniversary (not sure that was the intent, but if not then the timing was perfect.) I LOVED every song except for the first one. That one was...

    How bad are the AKL Kidani rooms in need of refurb? Should we stay somewhere else?

    After quite a bit of research, I have decided that renting DVC points to stay at AKL Kidani Village is my top choice for our next Disney trip. However, during all of the research that I have been doing, I have learned that the rooms there are in dire need of refurbishment. Would you agree with...

    Going to Disney World with flat feet-- suggestions?

    Thank you so much for all of the input so far. I didn't originally post this in the Disability forum because this isn't something that affects him in his day-to-day life. He goes hiking several times a year with zero issues. And he is on his feet a lot for work without a problem. So I am not...

    Going to Disney World with flat feet-- suggestions?

    We are a Disney-loving family and have visited Disney parks 4 times in the last 11 years (3 times to WDW and 1 time to Disneyland). Every time we go we absolutely love it except for one thing.... my husband has flat feet and really suffers after all of the walking. After 2-3 days his feet...

    Need to vent about how expensive WDW is now

    Okay, I did not know this. I have spent approximately 474,583,091 hours planning Disney trips in the past, and I have never heard of this trick. I have used authorized resalers (Undercover Tourist), but did not realize that the start date I enter would make a big difference, or that I could...

    Need to vent about how expensive WDW is now

    Yes rented points is part of the math. I rented them on David's last time, and I am comparing the current David's rental price for a Spring Break trip in 2024 to what we paid in 2021. It's apples to apples.
