It takes a long time to eat at Disney. I want to stay at a resort that provides full meals and snacks all day long. I know the club level provides some food and more service, but I don't want service. I just want food! It takes so long to eat at Disney. I don't want to wait at all. I wish Disney...

Disney got extremely crowded last time (September 2018) compared to previous years at the same time of the year. We had to change our ways and I couldn't book afternoon fastpasses for Test Track. Couldn't find a place to watch fireworks in Epcot. Couldn't avoid long lines at the bus. Never had...

From the north end, sure. CBR is a long haul just to walk from its north to south end. But from the CBR gondola station it ain't bad, and the gondola may not be down just because of bad weather. It might be down for any and all reasons. It shouldn't cause any hardship to install a path with...

Actually, I can't put up with heat in a closed environment. Yeah, let the Asians deal with it, I can't handle it. I change my mind. I used to stand in the hot sun to wait for the bus. I don't do it anymore. I will just take Lyft/Minnievan when it gets too hot or if there's lightning. But at...

I wish they would build a walking path to connect Pop with CBR. The two hotels are right next to each other. That way, people who are stranded can simply walk to Pop and then to AofA, if necessary.

The more I think about it, the less I care about the AC. The thought of getting to Epcot within 10 minutes, no wait, is very appealing. I can tough it out without AC, no problem! It's not the same as waiting for the bus in the hot sun for 10 minutes because I'm enclosed in the hot sun. The...

I really hope you and Ziggy are right, but I have to mentally prepare for the worst case scenario of no A/C in Florida in the Summer.

I feel that Disney is building the gondolas without A/C with a blatant attitude of "Yeah, it will be hot as hell, but you are just going to suck it up, aren't you, because you don't have a choice!" I mean, look at Soarin. It used to be an amazing ride, and now I've seen its standby wait time...

There's nothing wrong with taking the gondola without AC as long as the sun isn't shining and it's not so hot out, like in the evenings or raining days or winter time. (At the least, I'm hoping this is true.) For me, that cuts out about 50% of our trips to Epcot and Hollywood Studios when we...

No, I'm referring to Singapore or Vietnam or Hong Kong, which is as hot as Florida. London isn't hot, so it's no comparison and the gondola isn't a problem there. My point is, people in third world tropical Asian countries are used to hot public transits without AC, but for us Americans it is...

Air conditioning requires a huge amount of power in Florida's heat, something that batteries/capacitors cannot provide. The London gondola system does have AC, but people say they can't tell the difference. And London's summer is as hot as Orlando's winter, which is how they can get away with...

I'm not actually concerned about the size of the thing. It's more the heat I'm worried about. I always come back from Epcot at around 1:30 p.m in September, when it's 95 out with the sun blazing. Supposedly it takes 10 minutes to go from Pop to Epcot on the gondola. I have stood in the hot sun...

This glass bubble doesn't look very big. 8 people. Hm. I think if Disney doesn't force it, there will never be 8 volunteers all squeezing in there. It will seat no more than 4 per bubble. People will simply wait for the next bubble. But this all depends on the loading process. Say if you have a...

Yeah, no AC. Don't you just love it? What I don't like is getting dumped at the International Gateway of Epcot. I don't want to be there. I want to go to Epcot the normal way, with the Spaceship Earth looming over me. The gondola won't be as hot with fewer people. With 8 people, the body heat...

Still at Pop Century. Been here 10 days. Room check did show up the first day and second. The first time, we were in the room and I didn't have the occupied sign out. I was on the phone when I heard the knock. Then the woman opened the door and I signaled her to come in. I continued to talk on...

Later edit: The information I posted here is not accurate. I claim that Disney charged me $3928 this year and $4563 next year. That is true but I forgot one important detail: my toddler is turning 3 next year, so he will be needing his own ticket, which costs $559. So if you take that out, the...

I am currently at Pop. First time in a renovated room. The good and the bad for us compared to old rooms: The Good: 1. Cool Murphy bed. Kids love pulling it down. 2. Nice hardwood floor, very clean. 3. Love the bathroom mirror, sink, and storage space. 4. Shower door is beautiful. I don't like...

I'm at Pop Century right now. It is 7:34 p.m. I declined housekeeping for today and was expecting a room check. Never got it, judging from my trash bins. I did get an email gift card for $10. They didn't offer it when I requested no housekeeping, but they sent the the gift card anyway. Nice!

In May 2018 I traveled to Salt Lake City. I have been going to Disney World for years and I thought the kids could use a non Disney trip so that they know what life is like outside Disney. It would be a lot cheaper than Disney, but just as fun! Replacements: 1. Instead of Pop Century Resort...

A few years ago I went on the AK safari ride with my two kids. We were a party of 3 and only occupied half the bench. The party behind me were 4 full size (not fat) adults. They squeezed very tightly in there and looked uncomfortable the whole ride. So the following year when I went on the...
