I just did the math for the dining plan for our upcoming trip and it might be worth it for us this go around even if we don't plan every credit obsessively. We have never purchased it in the past, but our 3 kids are at peak princess/ character age right now, and the price increases on character...

Pre pandemic did anyone run into trouble using the child credits for adult meals at locations without kids meals? The fish-n-chips window and the germany QS come to mind especially if the system doesnt distinguish at those locations for the beverage credit

Yes, its well worth it, we have taken dozens of trips in the last 8 years and used their tools. The planning info, touring plan creator, crowd calendar, and the room request, and dining availability tracker are well worth it.

Here’s my take, “rack rate” ticket prices have never come down, but I expect to see one or more season specific promos. These have been run in the last 5 years but not every year. The latesr discounts tell me spring and summer bookings are down. Disney only rolls these out as a last resort: 1...

+1 For a December use year. I am a school administrator, and that pretty much covers all the traditional school breaks. I wouldn't let another use year stop you if it what you are looking for a particular rare resort. Use year is less of a factor for banking/ borrowing more if you have to cancel...

Disney Dish mentioned a few weeks ago that construction staffing was way, way up more so than what is needed for current/ existing projects, but the rumor lid is shut tight. Next expansion will be forthcoming at D23 Im sure. My guess, no 5th gate for a while, but most likely candidates are new...

Oh, yeah I forget to add, we had a great time! The other thing I want to mention is it changed our entire park mentality. Before, the trick to hacking FP+ was to have as many days in the parks as possible so you could get as many FP+ as possible and build on your extra day advantage. Now if...

We went back in late December. A couple of things are going on. 1. Park reservations are more about staffing to meet demand than anything else. Gone are the days of pure walk ons unless you are at the front of the rop dropping hordes. Dynamic staffing means if the park is not going to be as...

PP's have mentioned quite a few: Oil crises in the 70's and 80's, 9/11, The great recession. These things are cyclical. Right now there is pent up demand and we are heading into the busiest time of the year. But if you look ahead, Star crusier cancellations, DL regional guest ticket sales for...

I have been working in K-12 education for close to a decade, this year has been by far the worst in terms of parental behavior. You would not believe the hateful, unreasonable, and caustic phone calls and emails that we have received at my school. We are a close knit school in a small community...

I know you are excited and are ready to make a move. You need to stay at these places (or at least visit for the better part of a day) before you buy. Its a big purchase and this will go a long way towards helping you decide. When I was considering DVC, I managed to rent inexpensive offseason...

I think/ hope this is a joke/ otherwise what is the point? 5 bucks to pay off disney from making sure you arent up to no good/ or Not clean your room is ridiculous

Can anyone else share their DHS opening experience for early entry? It seems they have mostly “standard” 8:30/ 9 openings. I havent seen them open that park earlier since SWGE first opened. How early are onsite guests getting on to RotR?

Im so sorry you had a bad experience, im noticing they are pushing opening back to 7:30 at AK the day we are there so I hope we can avoid.

Have a related question to early entry. We are doing a split stay at Saratoga and Kidani. On the day we change hotels, we are planning to visit epcot. Should we just drive to the epcot lot or should we drive to our second hotel (Kidani Village) to take the busses to and fro. We will have little...

Uh Oh, Im thinking price increase is otw.

My first Impressions: 1. MK: is an obvious choice to by Genie + for our entire group for at least one day of our trip. 2. AK: We can probably navigate AK without Genie + for anyone 3. Epcot: Surpisingly, our older/ taller child is most interested in/ excited for the rides in this park (Test...

Wanted to know others thoughts/ plans/ experiences about Genie plus usage with a young family. Currently have 2 children and one infant (obviously infant does not need a ticket) that do not meet height requirements for all the rides, nor will they want to ride everything. One is right at...

Disney is very, very good at crowd control. I can't imagine something like that would happen in disney parks. Those taped lines, staff with the light-up batons, along with the crowd control and security people working behind the scenes. Apparently the artist associated with that event is...

hopefully they are introducing some new ip, with the co’s empasis on current ip, this is one place where it is sorely needed. Too much of wdw fantasmic is built around pochahontas and there is so much more in the catalog since then
