    So long, Farewell

    I’m not going to get involved in the political discourse, but intentionally violating company policy is usually frowned upon by business owners. They kept saying they they would get in trouble for talking politics on a podcast about a family amusement park, but they kept doing it anyway...

    Where to stay?

    We're looking at visiting for our honeymoon. We're going to Disneyland for three days before going to Aulani for a week. I've never really been to Disneyland in California, but I love Disney World and we went to Tokyo Disneyland a few weeks ago. ...Is there any advantage to staying at the...

    Does Test Track need a re-theme?

    Yeah it would be nice, but it’s not really necessary. It’s still very popular and it has a sponsor. So long as Chevrolet is giving them money they’re tied to the Test Track theme and there’s really no need to change it up since the wait times are usually over an hour.

    Disney World Resorts Struggling

    After staying at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, I’m super jealous. For the price of a moderate, I’m staying in a Hotel that’s nicer than anything at Disney World and they offer a lot more. The meals are cheaper (15 pp for a table service meal), they give me free water, slippers, pajamas, toothbrush and...

    Crowds and Disney Premier Access

    I’m here now and it’s busy. Busy, but manageable. We payed for Premier Access because we’re only here two days. I think it’s worth it, especially when you consider how much money we spent to get to Japan. Also, just a FYI, but the parks don’t have free Wi-Fi. So you either need to buy a SIM...

    Is Peppa Pig Land worth it?

    I've never been, but Peppa Pig Theme Park looks really cute. It's a fairly small park for kids. It looks like a place I'd want to go to with my fiancé after we get married and have a kid. Not as a full trip, but use it as a way for us to save on having to spend all the money going to Disney...

    Split stay or no?

    I didn’t realize how close the Ambassador hotel actually is to the parks. It’s basically right behind Big Thunder Mountain. It’s also the original hotel at Tokyo Disneyland. We have Tokyo Disneyland Hotel booked for our trip in March. Personally, I’d pick a hotel and stick with one. If you want...

    It takes a little longer than that, but when you’re dealing with high capacity rides at large parks every second counts. As much as I love parks like Dollywood, their ride ops are not nearly as efficient as Disney. Having separate loading / unloading areas and more than double the ride...

    Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun - 2022 Edition

    This is honestly the first time I’ve heard of it, but I don’t really follow celebrity news. I love the coaster, but even before this news I thought it needed a re-theme. To me it feels somewhat out of place with how much DHS has changed over the years and I kind of doubt kids are all that...

    Just blame Bob. It’s technically correct regardless of who is at fault.

    It’s pretty normal in my experience for them not to be in sync. It doesn’t make sense, but it happens quite often.

    ***Official September 2022 Thread***

    We had a good trip too. I slept through Ian. I didn't hear the hurricane. My fiancé woke up a few times, but she's a very light sleeper. We lost two of our park days, Moonlight Magic and I lost my Cinderella's Royal Table Reservation where I was planning on proposing. I was lucky enough to get...

    My understanding is that they're not accepting new reservations until October 3rd. There's still availability for extensions. We were able to extend our stay by one night today.
