How old is too old for a stroller?

Offering your seat to someone on the bus

What does facts mean?

Any of the threads asking for people on the boards to be nice to each or the "can't we all just get along" threads

Anytime someone uses phrases like What Would Walt Do or Walt is Rolling Over in His Grave usually turn out to be pretty entertaining.

The most common question, especially in the TPA&S Forum, concerns Park Hopping. I have a stock answer I must post to threads at least four times a week:

A base ticket is one major (theme) park per day. You are allowed to re-enter the same park if you leave it on one day, but it can only be used at the one park.

Note that the ticket may state on it either "Not Valid For Park Hopping" or "One Theme Park Per Day". That should be a hint.

If you put the ticket in the turnstile of another park the display on the Guest side of the turnstile will be "ACCESS DENIED". The top line of the display on the Greeter side will give information about the ticket, and the second line of the display will say "CROSSOVER NOT PERMITTED". The turnstile will not unlock.

This is because Disney charges $10.00 per day over five days on a ticket, but charges $57 to allow hopping. It does not make economic sense for Disney to allow this.

If you actually have multiple tickets (more than one physical ticket per person) as opposed to multiple day tickets, you can use these tickets for multiple entries. But it makes absolutely no economic sense as a separate ticket costs a lot more than adding hopping to a ticket.

Or, as I have occasionally told Guests who were arguing with me about using a different day on the ticket: (note day of week stated can vary)

The turnstile computer thinks today is Friday. The turnstile computer at the other park also thinks today is Friday. The two turnstile computers talk to each other. If you can convince this turnstile computer that today is not the same Friday as the other computer thinks, it will let you in.

The cost to add hopping (or WPF&M) is $57 ($60.71 including tax) per ticket. It does not matter if it is adult or child, two days or ten days, first day of use or last day of use, the price is the same. (For a Florida Resident it is $28.50 plus tax.) (Note to add hopping to a one day ticket is $35 ($37.28 including tax).)

So if you are not sure, don't order them. If you find you do need them, then upgrade your tickets at any ticket window or Guest Relations Office. It only takes a minute or so.

Of course what a magical person Walt Disney was and how he would scorn (or rather roll in his grave) how Disney is run now.

 

[Imzadi]

Weddings and/or Family drama needs to be in that list somewhere.

Include odd Christmas presents from family/in-laws, and whether you should mention, joke or vent about them. Or just be grateful for whatever you get.
