    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Premier passes is another example of trying to create a specific crowd (the rich and privileged), forcing people/families to spend beyond their budget to “keep up with the Jones’” or risk losing the full park experience. DL and DW were created for family. Not profit margin growth. It is sad but...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Ultimately, we each have our own price point for budgeting a family vacay at Disney. You can complain on a forum, but wear your thick skin. Or you can go somewhere else, hoping that the demand for LLs, multi, etc. drops to lower prices to within your budget. They way my fam of 5 did DW 6 yrs ago...

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    Exactly. The pre-ride show could be a digital interview with a musician. Then the muppets “take you to the concert”. The musical soundtrack is provided by the guest. Endless possibilities! And if they prerecorded a bunch of interviews with musicians, the ride experience could be random each time.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Why do only two rides? These worlds are becoming pathetic and yet Disney goers mark their calendars to wait for the day to go on a rethemed ride. Dinosaur will become Indiana Jones. I am sure the large boulder from Raiders OTLA will replace the charging tRex that comes from the left of the...

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    If I was an off site day guest and a rope dropper with NO genie+, what would my ride experience be like at MK? Honestly. Would I be able to get on Space Mtn, Mine Train, etc? What is the typical stand by wait for Tron or even Tiana if you don’t want to drop an addition $130+ on a family of 5?

    News Disney launches Discover Disney Ticket starting at $59 per day for summer 2024

    Two tiered system - out of state pays ridiculous park entry while FLA residents get more than 50% off. These discounts should be for the people staying at resorts. They are the ones supporting the local economy. Would likely fill resorts again like they did pre pandemic, when they treated Disney...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Why does Disney offer a discounted rate for FLA residents? Was this an agreement made pre 1971 when D received tax $ to build DW? In Ontario Canada, my local tourist attractions don’t have an elevated price hike for tourists. I wonder how many parks outside of FLA do this. Can recall if Hershey...

    Disney unveils deliciously themed 2024 Merch: Disney Eats and Stitch Snack Collections

    If the Stitch merch and pillow are made in partnership with Squishmallows, they will be a hit!

    Hyundai teams up with Walt Disney Imagineering for special IONIQ 5 Disney100 Platinum electric car

    I’ll stick to my Disney antenna foam balls. That’s as close to a Disney themed car as I can afford.

    News Early close for Disney’s Hollywood Studios on December 10, 2023

    Double dipping again. If parks are closing early for a private event, ticket price should reflect that, or guests at HS should have free park hopping from 7pm to until close at another park to accommodate for this.

    Potential Major Hurricane Idalia Possibly to Impact Central/Northern Florida 8/29

    Send videos from the resorts and parks (if you can and if they remain open). Would like to see how bad it actually gets. CNN only reporting on coastal areas. Not sure why Disney would put employees and families at risk by keeping parks open. Yea families can stay at resorts but employees can’t...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Is this a contractual benefit or a “perk”? How does he get to take his grandchildren? For free? If this is a matter of just giving out tickets when requested, DW is like an open bar for employees where taxpayers foot the bill. The $1000 stipend restricts employees from inviting more than just...

    Scentsy and Walt Disney World are bringing a new guest experience within Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom

    Capacity issues? They use these evening themes (Halloween from July to Nov, Christmas from Nov-Jan) as a means to have 2 groups of people in the park with a 3 hr overlap. Kick the regular people out at 7pm, without a reduction in ticket price. The capacity issues/ticket prices will only get...

    News Holiday crowds at Walt Disney World theme parks 2022

    You really have to do the research and try to justify if a trip to Disney right now is worth it. Would love to know how many rides people get on today, with or without G+. As a Disfam that went annually since 2008, we have no interest with the gong show that G+, LL and the overall experiences...
