This is huge for me. Disney seems to keep going in the direction of more, not less, reliance on staring at phones all day. For a park that's built on immersive-ness and little details, this is a huge detraction (and distraction) from the experience. Unfortunately, I think all parks and...

We were also there last week (Mon-Sat.) We did not utilize Genie+/ILL at all. Well, we did get 2x complementary LL passes for customer service issues, but other than that, we did standby for everything. We were a large group of 7 and managed somewhat decently without it. Long lines, but we...

Hopefully was an anomaly for the PP. We did a quick trip this past weekend to CSR, and took the bus to MK on Saturday. Walked over to the bus stop around 8am (9am park opening), caught the bus around 8:05 and were walking up Main Street by 8:30.

Just chiming in with our experiences, stayed in a Tower room Jul 31-Aug 5. Was leery of the reports on the elevator situation and considered switching to Garden, but glad we didn't. Had absolutely no issues catching an elevator at any time - I think maybe 3-4 times total we had to wait for a...

Definitely not. One thing I'm not sure anyone has touched on is South FL (Miami-Dade/Broward/Palm Beach). DeSantis still has us "shut down" and not in Phase 1 of openings since we're a "hot spot", and has not dropped any hints as of yet when that may change. This is significant to me (outside...

NPR did a segment yesterday with a movie theater CEO here, and they are accounting for just such a thing. Since they already do reserved seating ticketing (as do many theaters these days), they've adapted their purchasing app/site to black out seats within X feet of already-purchased seats. Lots...

Think it's been well-covered that technically Disney doesn't have to guarantee entry to anyone, and has proven with their phased closure approach in the past that they prefer entry to resort guests, but at a certain point even they're not guaranteed (Phase 4 closure...) Question then is, which...

Problem is that info is now third-hand. There's no telling whether the CM offered "the parks being closed for the rest of the year" as an example of a circumstance where that person would receive a refund (and then said Disney would be providing updates this week), OR if the person was...

Per the linked article, that's precisely what this is supposed to help alleviate: Gov. Ron DeSantis has said the plan to auto-enroll workers from Disney and other large companies is a way the help the state's unemployment benefits system, which has been overwhelmed with new claims and technical...

We have a similar situation. Passes expired on 3/19 and listed in the app as "Expires 3/19". The question is, when they reopen, would we get our 3 remaining pass-days from the day the parks reopen, or ALL the days that the parks were closed (example 45 days in the exceedingly rare case they...

Yes that was it. DW and I did it in March of 2018 for an anniversary dinner. The group was less than 30 people total and we really enjoyed the entire experience - from visits from the chefs at each resort to personal guidance from Disney employees (things like ensuring that we got right on the...

Oof, that's unfortunate. And seems to touch on a common theme these days. Pay for a package or up-charge where one might think (or be given the impression) that they are buying exclusivity or something special, show up and just be part of the endless herd. It's part of why I'm so hesitant...

While I understand the reluctance, there's nothing inherently wrong with auto-saving usernames and passwords. In fact, using a good password manager along with 2-factor authentication like Skywise noted above is better than writing down passwords on an insecure device. And it encourages using...

This is true. And while one could say the root of the problem documented is not directly a failure of Disney, it does expose some serious flaws in the design and security of Disney+, all of which ARE Disney's problem. First, understand that the likely exposure are users who use a common...

Now that we've had a couple of days to explore, I have to say we're pretty happy so far with Disney+. Some launch glitches, but nothing that I wouldn't have expected or that makes it unwatchable. The only thing on my wish list would be some fine-tuned control over the kids profile feature...

Yea I think Disney's strategy is apparent to keep adult content on Hulu. Their recent announcement about moving FX content to Hulu and producing Hulu-exclusive FX series underscores that. Personally I'm ok with this approach. Right now streaming apps are a bit of a mess - for example my DD can...

Morning radio show host was on this AM complaining about this, how there was not an app (yet at least) for his 2 year old Samsung TV. So it's not just you...

Signed up for the bundle this AM (as a current Hulu subscriber I was waiting for the specifics to come out on how to sign up for bundle pricing.) Didn't have any issues getting signed up and getting profiles for the family setup, but there have been a few glitches here and there browsing content...

Yup, one prime example that comes to mind is the Hart family (the adoptive mothers who just over a year ago drugged and drove their children off a cliff to their deaths.) Not trying to provide a direct comparison to these scammers, rather just a counterpoint to PPs notion that the "system" would...

Good point. I'll add to my reply above that the interconnected-ness of a system like this would certainly add to the confusion and/or frustration by guests. I.e. if I'm riding a bus and someone has an emergency, it's very apparent and understandable that the bus needs to be diverted. But if...
