    What barriers will your family have to be able to return to WDW? Our list is longer than we realized

    I agree with you regarding the virus staying. I took the question to be about what additional barriers there are in the short term for us to overcome to be able to visit wdw. Even if you have the money etc, for some people it’s not going to be as easy as it was to visit, even if the parks and...

    WDW Reopening Estimates

    I’m seeing a lot of comments saying that it’s in Disney’s best interests to reopen as soon as possible. Can I ask: is it in their best interests? taking any company example, fixed costs are fixed and nothing much can be done about those. If you’re in Disney’s position maybe you arrange...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    When the parks reopen, what supporting structures do they need in place outside of the bubble? For example, I know that in the uk if a soccer match is expecting an attendance of more than 5000 people, there must be an ambulance and 50 police officers on duty. Do the parks need anything similar...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Just a few observations regarding some of the posts about wdw reopening:- 1) how are international visitors going to reach the USA? No cruise ships, very limited air travel. Surely Disney will therefore open to locals first as there will be no or limited demand for hotel rooms. I write as...

    My Christmas Week Plan

    I have done 7 Christmases at Wdw and your philosophy is spot on in my view. However, there are a couple of things that may also help you. 1) everything is busy! What I mean by this is it’s not just ride lines but also the buses etc. In particular we found getting food without reservations in...

    Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

    We subscribe to DisneyLife in the UK. Started by paying £9.99 a month which was then cut to £4.99 a month and has stayed at that price ever since. The app is brilliant. Download content to use offline eg on a plane, in the car; watch by streaming at home, any content from any channel available...

    What the heck are some people wearing?

    Surely Disney has a stack of those old style yellow rain ponchos somewhere that they could provide to the bag checks. If you don't meet the agreed wdwmagic dress code, you get to wear one of them for the day over your outfit. Disney can also then make this an upcharge event by marketing it as...

    Do you think you would be a Disney fan if your first time was recently?

    My first visit was summer 2002, I loved it and went consistently until 2011 when, due to a change in personal circumstances I haven't been since. I now have two children, 5 and 3, and whilst I am really looking forward to going with them, my experience based on spending approx 100 weeks at the...
