    I hate FastPass+

    I found that you could. Because previously if your time was 10am to 11am, you could come back at 5pm and use it without a problem. As long as it was after the start time. Hence my strategy of collecting a bunch at park open, then using them all only in the evening when the crowds are at...

    I hate FastPass+

    I am totally serious. I have been off of the boards for a while now, and came back because of my anger/frustration over FastPass+. So I haven't read much about it. I feel like a Disney World newbie all over again. All of my previous strategies for maximizing the number of rides...

    I hate FastPass+

    I am currently in Disney World experiencing my first vacation with the FastPass+ system. Unfortunately, I didn't have any time to research or plan ahead and discovered the new system when I showed up in the parks. The idea of being able to manage and book Fastpasses over a smartphone (which...

    I officially hate Epic Mickey

    I have had Epic Mickey for a few months and it is a game with a fantastic idea and story. Unfortunately, the gameplan is so bad I cannot continue playing it. And I am very mad about it. :mad: 1. You cannot choose when you save. This ruins you both when you want to save after completing...

    Epic Mickey questions

    Ok. So I got Epic Mickey for the Wii this weekend and played it a little. It is really cool, but I have a few questions/problems with the game. Maybe some more experienced gamers out there know the answers: 1. How do you save? I can't figure out how to save my changes when I am done...

    Disney Family Magic Tour

    The groups really just depend on who signs up. I have done it twice now. The first time, there was just one other family with two kids. It was wonderful with lots of attention. The second time, there were a lot of people. Maybe 5 to7 families most with multiple kids. That made it not...

    DHS needs an overhaul!

    The thing with Hollywood Studios is that it is a park about Shows, not rides. So if you are going hoping for the same quantity as the Magic Kingdom, you'll be disappointed. That being said, some of the shows are timeless, like the Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid. Others haven't aged...

    Camera/Lens question - Is there any restrictions on the lens?

    No problem at all. My last trip, I was running around with the 70-200mm f.28 with the x2 extender and a tripod. I even had a Disney cast member think I might not be a guest, but a hired photographer. Quite funny. As long as you aren't using the flash at the wrong time or try to take photos...

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    Umm. Where exactly are you getting this from my posts? I am trying to argue (maybe not doing the best job) that people should be considerate of others and do their best not to block others views. And how are Disney Parks not for me? Because I like to sit for parades?

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    Umm. That is not exactly what I suggested. Yes, that location has several rows of people between the curb and the statue. But in that area, 98% of the people were sitting. And what you cannot see on the map is that the area slopes down toward the caste. So that several rows of people can...

    letter to the school..anyone have a copy

    Can I ask a strange question? Why are you giving them a letter at all? When I take my kids out of school for Disney, I mere send a note that only states my child will be out of school from X date to Y date for a family vacation. And then ask for any homework. What would ever be needed...

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    Common courtesy is being considerate of people around you. And doing your best to help others have the best views possible in these situations. Even in a Disney theater like PhilharMagic you can do this. Unless you are traveling alone, you have some choice on where you sit. And if you are...

    boo to you start

    Yes. It starts in frontierland and works its way to the back. Be a little early as the Headless Horseman rides 5 to 10 minutes before the parade.

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    I have been to Disney World several times. And I always stake out a seat on the curb and sit. The problem is that while sitting along the curb is great for the parade, but crappy seats for the fireworks. So I tried to have the best of both worlds by sitting on the bench surround the Walt...

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    Yes! You do. It is considerate of others to try not to sit in front of children during a show if you are tall. Or to try to lower yourself down so that others behind you can see.

    So you thought you knew everything about Disney World!

    After multiple trips to Disney, and lots of time on the DISBoards, I thought I knew most things about Disney World. But I was surprised to learn new things I never knew I never knew. (namely, discovered that you can park at the parks for free with your car if you are staying at a resort)...

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    Well, maybe I live in a strange part of the country, but every Parade that I have ever been to at home (not Disney) people always sit. And not only do they sit, but they usually bring fold-able lawn chairs or camping chairs from home to sit on. And coolers full of drinks and snacks. So the...

    Who stands for a parade? Honestly.

    Wendy1974, I don't mean to call you out, but I am going to since I was surprised by your response. Why would you first sit down. And then only stand up just before the parade? Don't you think the behind who sat down behind you picked their spot thinking that you'd remain sitting throughout...
