I went with a friend the first week in February and we actually were seated either on time or early for all of our reservations. I was actually sweating it a little at Ohana because we were there right around fireworks time and I was afraid we were going to finish too soon. Luckily, eating...

Ive seen people post on things like Facebook so people can know the funeral arrangements and/or just pay their respects. Also, I would imagine so they don’t say or ask awkward things. I don’t see why that obligates them to share details about the death. I think it’s up to the family what...

Starbursts, and then a mix of the good chocolate stuff (snickers, Twix, etc) and maybe some smarties.

Yep.

With all due respect, large parts of the Star Wars fan base are perpetually upset and have been long before Disney bought the franchise. (And I love me some Star Wars....it’s just how the fan base is). And the drop off in movie 2 is normal for this franchise. In all 3 trilogies now, the second...

Doh!

That’s what cell phones are for. It’s everyones vacation. Let everyone go at their own pace and text to meet up. Have your cake and eat it too. You’ll have a full week of “togetherness” time without worrying about a couple of hours apart here and there.

Maybe just make sure you set your fast passes after lunch and don’t be determined to leave for the parks together. If you’re too forceful in making them leave early in the morning, they’re going to resent it. If you feel like they’re holding you back and causing you to miss rope drop, you’re...

Yeah, in St Louis they use the water park, some surrounding grounds, and some less popular rides to stage their haunted houses. Then, the park is decorated for Halloween. They usually dye the water red in some of the fountains and have skulls and cobwebs all over the place and stuff of that...

I've been a few times in recent years to the one in St. Louis. Here, the park essentially runs as normal during the day and then at dusk, they bring out the actors and start running the haunted houses. They made it pretty clear when that was going to happen so people with young kids could get...

So, you understand it's a similar concept, right? Airlines and the TSA didn't ban the use of paper tickets when they made electronic ones available on phones. Both work and work about the same. If you had an electronic one, but something goes wrong, you just revert to getting a paper ticket...

a) They're still making and shipping you a new magic band every year. b) What percentage of their guests are going multiple times a year (and if you're a local going all the time, how sentimental are you going to be about your magic band?) c) They're also issuing a bunch of cards for offsite...

The 5 year old gets a magic band. The mom, the grandma, and the teenage brother who all have high end smart phones they carry at all times use their phone (Because maybe there’s a $5 fee for the adults to get magic bands). Oh, and the British cousin using a crappy temporary phone because their...

Angle of the sun only matters for a barcode system, which isn’t what Disney World has. People aren’t using bar codes to enter their hotel room. It’s gotta be something like Bluetooth or nfc or something. I would imagine if your phone dies, you’d do the same thing you’d do if you lose your...

Not the same. You described a soccer mom managing multiple people’s faspasses on her phone and it’s a barcode. I’m saying use it exactly like the bands (one phone, one person, use I guess nfc). Still Fastpass plus. I’m just saying I’ll be surprised if that’s not where that’s going long term...

But, if you have a remotely recent iPhone or not low end Android you (personally) wouldn't need a magic band at all if they implemented this in the parks. The younger kids in your party might. So, scale that out by the number of families who visit WDW in a year. I dunno. It’ll become...

Oh, I'm not saying get rid of magic bands completely. But, right now by default they always send everyone a new magic band who stays on property. If some sizable percentage of people can accomplish the same tasks with their phone interchangeably (and I suspect there is as far as adults and...

Wonder if it could be a first step to reducing the number of magic bands they send out. If you can use your phone for your door and (later) fastpasses and park entry, do you need a magic band?

They need to discover cloud services that auto-scale (if they’re not doing that). They’re the perfect use case since they need a lot of horsepower in these morning windows and way less during the rest of the day. Hopefully that’s on their agenda. It seems to be on everybody else and their...

By August, will the gondolas be open? That will eventually (possibly) be another selling point for Pop if they work well.
