    The return of AFTER DARK! Sweethearts, Villains, and Star Wars

    I understood your post, but no amount of screencaps or stating the obvious is going to settle my frustration here. Our convention was canceled. Our Disneyland night was cancelled. It wasn’t anyone’s fault. But waited over a year for an update, let Disney keep our tickets and and our money and...

    The return of AFTER DARK! Sweethearts, Villains, and Star Wars

    Again, I’m traveling to CA for Star Wars Celebration that week, so the 27th is my only option. I live on the East Coast, traveling for the earlier dates isn’t an option here. The reason for the upcharge it’s because they can. The convention is that week, we’re stuck with no other option, so...

    The return of AFTER DARK! Sweethearts, Villains, and Star Wars

    So this is cute…I still had my tickets from the canceled Star Wars Nite in 2020, which was going to be the week of Star Wars Celebration. When it was canceled we were told we could refund them, or hang onto them - we would be eligible to transfer them to the new date when it was rescheduled. I...

    Hand Sanitizing Stations/Crowds

    We were there 10/30-11/5 and it was the same. It almost became a running joke that we kept trying them to see if we got lucky this time. We had plenty with us, so it was fine, but it was rare to find a hand sanitizer station that actually had any hand sanitizer.

    I checked Twitter and they’re still sending out the “no ETA for resolution message as of yesterday.

    Do you tour the parks in the rain?

    We tried to do MK in the rain last Friday (our last day!), but it was too much. Normally you can just put on a poncho and deal with it, but there were puddles literally inches deep in Tomorrowland and it was gushing rain the whole time we were there. We went on Space Mountain, saw the Monsters...

    Any thoughts on the new character dining experience?

    We were there last week, we did Tusker House and Garden Grill, and my nephews loved it. They’re 13 and 8 years old, it was their first trip to WDW. The characters can’t come up to your table for any hugs or autographs, but they’re close enough that you can still get some nice pictures - they’ll...

    My Universal Photo Packages

    Checked for an update via Twitter, and it doesn't sound close to being resolved: All online photo services are currently down for maintenance and there is no ETA for resolution. Our partners at Colorvision are working to restore full service soon. In the meantime, photos can be viewed at any...

    Has anyone been to the parks recently and NOT used Genie+?

    I didn’t mind having everything on my phone (and my battery held out better than I thought it would), but my biggest complaint was that the app is annoying to navigate. If I have to use my phone to get around the park, I want to be able to get to what I need quickly, and the app just doesn’t do...

    Has anyone been to the parks recently and NOT used Genie+?

    Agreed. I set the alarm for 6:45, was done with the Genie selections no later than 7:10, then went back to sleep for a bit before getting ready for the parks. No early risers in our group (and early entry was only a half-hour anyway), so it worked out fine.

    My Universal Photo Packages

    We were there Wednesday and they told us the photo system went down on Sunday. We could still take pictures/scan the photo card at the photo spots and on the rides, and they took my email address so they could get our pictures to us, but I haven’t heard anything yet.

    Has anyone been to the parks recently and NOT used Genie+?

    Just got back last night, and we used it for 3 of our 6 park days, and if I had to start over again, I would have skipped it for at least one more of them. I thought it was the most helpful for MK and DHS, since MK has so many rides (I got so many of them at the end of the night it was almost a...

    USO Photos (is amazing pictures out of biz?)

    I was there on Wednesday and they told us the photo system went down on Sunday. We could still take photos and scan the card at all of the available photo spots, but they took my email address so that they could use that to get us access to the photos when it was back up and running. Looks like...

    Where are all the crowds?

    I went to my first Broadway show since March 2020 this week - masks and vaccine required - and the show was sold out, so it hasn’t been a dealbreaker for anyone wanting to see a show. But NYC was pretty quiet compared to pre-COVID matinee days, and I suspect these are mostly locals filling these...
