    Coffee Thread (cause why not)

    The old-joke was that there were two-types of coffee drinkers, Starbucks & Dunkin'. Then Dunkin' sold a less expensive dark-roast. Then Starbucks sold a more expensive blond-roast. Substitute Joffrey's. More to the question - because each company likely pays Disney to sell their product. If...

    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    That's not entirely true. Folks who had contact with China knew that Covid was bad. China didn't open back up after their Lunar New Year's celebration. Disney Shanghai was no exception. Those of us in contact with China knew Covid was going to be bad. What none of knew was for how long.

    Iger is back and Chapek is out...

    Hopper, this is what has been my problem - the change in value proposition. I would gladly pay more to get something that resembles more (or remained the same). Of course, nobody is happy paying for Genie+ when it used to be free FastPass+, but if Genie gave my family what FP offered, it could...

    What is the solution to insane crowds & wait times???

    Disney is doing it right now by creating discontent amongst seemingly too many of their most loyal customers. I used to ‘talk up’ Disney to friends & family. That ended with Genie (and a positive experience at Universal). Sure, it takes time for this form of marketing to have the negative...

    Where to get fruit in the parks for breakfast?

    I appreciate the edification, but still. By your own outline, Manadarins, an eating orange, are grown in FL. I get mail-order of both grapefruits & oranges from FL every year. Also, an orange has a longer shelf-life than a banana, and yet, bananas are more ubiquitous throughout Disney World...

    Where to get fruit in the parks for breakfast?

    I live in the Northeast, we grow apples here. Always amazes me how difficult it is to locate an orange at Disney.

    Dining with Preschoolers

    Favorite places are the ones that are most convenient. By and large - young kids have 4-hours before they simply need a change of scenery. Strollers are your friend. But.....while we found going to a meal at the end of being in the Park was effective with our time, we then typically had a...

    The 'news' I read on another blog suggested that Disney has not yet provided the specific details yet.

    Yak & Yeti- no dinner??

    Animal Kingdom is scheduled to close at 7pm around that period of time. Given this anticipated flow of foot-traffic, all the places serve sit-down are currently scheduled to close early as well.

    CRT-Need to drop a guest

    I do not have your answer. Sorry. So, BUMP! Normally, I'd suggest just showing up as a group of three, and you have honored your reservation to not have a cancellation fee. But CRT is different. You prepay. So bad advice could be like me spending your money, and that's not good. I recall...

    Strategy at 60 days

    Most difficult reservation(s) first - which means the places most likely to be fully-booked most quickly. For my family, this means Sci-Fi Dine-In, (some) in-park Character meals, & CA Grill for fireworks. Strategically, we sometimes make our difficult reservations at the end of our vacation...

    Changes to ILL & Genie+ starting 2/25

    I'm guessing this is an attempt to increase Genie+ opportunities for a product that continues to have capacity problems. If folks are unable to get E-ticket rides after paying for Genie, Disney is likely offering too many refunds. Disney might rather 'lose' the ILL$ revenue than what they are...

    I have something positive to say about this week

    You might want to read a bit of the history behind the Haunted Mansion. It took many years, and even had different teams of Imagineers before it was completed. Walt Disney never saw the attraction. Haunted Mansion may now be 'perfect', but the Imagineers (and Walt) had competing visions for a...
