    Wow how things have changed.

    Me too! This just feels so different than just regular annoying changes in the past. I’ve been on these boards for a long time too and I’ve never seen anything like this. So many long time Disney lovers really seem to be losing the magic and excitement then ever before.

    Wow how things have changed.

    I am having a hard time feeling excited about going again. Which probably wouldn’t be for a year or two anyway since we just went in June. But I’m a big planner and that’s so much part of the fun for me and it just seems all too much now. I don’t even want to deal with any of it. And I sure as...

    I don't get rope dropping a high demand attraction

    I think rope dropping a ride is only worth it if you are literally at the front of the crowd and know that you will be one of the first on the ride. But how early do you have to get up and out for that? It’s just not worth it IMO. I much prefer to get there just after rope drop after the crowd...

    Castmembers Calling Everyone "Friend"

    I was a preschool teacher for 10 years and we called the kids “friends” instead of kids or guys or whatever else…..So we’d say things like “ok friends, it’s time to clean up” etc….I thought it was a little weird at first but it became second nature very quickly. We always told the kids that we...

    Talk to me about June trips

    We were there over spring break June of 2019 when our daughter went with the band and I didn’t think the crowds were horrible. They were very similar to our June trips but we always went earlier in June like around the 10th or 11th. If I had to pick between those two again, I’d probably pick...

    Will these be the four attractions that Disney will want you to pay for? Could there be more?

    When we were there in June, we never waited more than 30 min except for FoP, Test Track, SDD and Mine Train. They were all either 45-60 min. So I personally think it’s definitely going to be those four and maybe a few others.

    Enthusiastic about Genie+ touring

    We were in DL maybe a month after they rolled Maxpass out and I actually loved it! BUT it was only $10 pp per day and we got all of our pictures too. (I know that Maxpass has changed since then) And we were only there two days. So I had no issues paying $80 for the 4 of us for 2 days and...

    Planning trip with back injury

    My husband has had very bad back issues since he was 25. Spinal stenosis, herniated discs. He’s 45 now and finally had back surgery at 40 and we’ve been to Disney 8 times in the last 12 yrs. He says to take 800mg Advil every 8 hours, stretch as much as possible, ice at night for sure and even in...

    VLOGGERS?

    We saw Rick from Rick Flix, one of the Universal vloggers last month in Diagon Alley. My 15 yr old son was so excited and kept waking back in forth in the shot but my 17 yr old DD daughter wanted nothing to do it and ran way out of the way so she wouldn’t be on camera. He was live streaming and...

    Have You Ever Had To Confront Another Guest's Poor Behavior?

    Not exactly confront but this woman lost her darn mind with me over something so ridiculous. I just blame her lack of knowledge I guess. 😂 It’s our last day and we are at MK for the evening. We get off Splash Mountain and I had purchased the memory maker so I would usually just walk up to the...

    Fastpass return or replacement?

    To quote my dad “I don’t know what they’ve been smoking…..” holy cow with those prices!! I would never ever pay that. I don’t care what it was. Maybe if that was the total for all 4 of us but per person. Nope. Not going to happen. I’d rather be strategic about when we go and how we tour the park...

    Disney to Universal travel logistics

    I also wanted to say - check the Universal deals because when we went last month (booked in Feb), it was $1600 for the 4 of us for a 4 day pass (only used 3 days) including the park-to-park (hopper) and the resort stay. There are 4 of us and I thought that was a great deal considering I was...

    Disney to Universal travel logistics

    We just did a 10 day trip at Universal and Disney. We've done it before and we like to end with Disney so we always go to Universal first. But we just take an uber from the airport to our Universal resort (Cabana Bay) and then use their onsite buses (super easy and fast!) and then we uber from...

    Best Way to Enjoy Christmas?

    We went the second week of December once and it was amazing! We enjoyed all the festivities but the crowds were very low. It was also warm enough to swim a few days. I know it’s hard to go then when you have kids but it was so worth it!

    Concerned if Tron and Guardians will open by end of 50th?

    I think you should just plan your trip. The thing with Disney is they are ALWAYS working on something and there is something new coming that you may miss. I can’t even tell you how many times we just missed something. It seems like every time we’ve gone, something was on the horizon. The...

    Does anyone remember- how long after “park close” did AK continue to show projections on the Tree of Life?

    It was definitely awesome walking out with no one around! The CM’s are guiding you of course on a specific path but between the nighttime Pandora landscape and the tree - it was really special! I was just looking though my pictures and I forgot we had seen Rivers of Light first before getting...

    Does anyone remember- how long after “park close” did AK continue to show projections on the Tree of Life?

    In 2019, we got in line for FoP literally 5 min before park close. The posted wait was like 200 min. Lol….but we made it through in 1 hr and 19 min. When we walked out, it was very dark out and everything was still all lit up, etc… This was in late March. I’m thinking they probably leave it on...

    Flights of Passage Strategy - Try to ride at Rope Drop or wait until 45 minutes before closing time?

    We were there a month ago and it never fell below a posted 40 min wait and that was at the end of the day. The longest times were actually first thing in the morning when everyone is rushing there. It was well over an hour right at and right after park opening for hours. I think that unless you...
