    Why are cast members putting so many people in a ride vehicle?

    One of the worst ones and oddest I've ever experienced was years ago on Spaceship Earth. Three in one 'row' There are only 2 headrests and speakers so my sister was stuck in the middle..literally. So stupid since it was a continually loading ride and not one where there's a long wait...

    Just back... great trip!

    Oh ok. It still could be down to $$. They'd rather guests actually buy them as opposed to giving them to CMs to trade which might lose them money in the larger scope. Even though the trades are supposed to be equal, its never in Disney's favor this way. They can't resell (as far as I know) the...

    Just back... great trip!

    I'm going to wager a guess and say that Pin Trading is on its way out. It either was no longer profitable or the head honchos would rather focus the money elsewhere for a bigger return. Personally I never got the point of it, but from the way it was 'everywhere' and now to hear that its not...

    Fastpass + seems to be ruining many posters trips to WDW.

    I think maybe they're trying to see what the people will stand for. FP original recipe was kind of a free for all at the end before wait times were enforced. People holding onto 10 a.m. rides until near closing. It was a bit ridiculous and clearly not how the system was supposed to work. So now...

    Wait at Beaches and Cream

    This is actually not the first I've heard of this. I didn't know B&C would be slowly turning into ADR. Could you take out food to go? Or was it just a blanket no food except ice cream?

    So, tell me about being escorted out after dinner...

    This is something that has always irked me. If party guests are allowed in early, infringing on park time for people paying for the full day(who are majorly shortchanged), I don't see why an all clear of no party guests by 8 couldn't be in effect. The 'escorting out'..seems like overkill. Why...

    I can't be the only one marginally bummed about this right?

    I agree. They had FP originally and it was a big disaster. So why the need for FP+? To justify the revamped little area that's interactive? Or to make it look like FP+ is sooo wonderful that it can be used on every ride/attraction? I think its just going to tick people off more and more as time...

    Missing Daisy

    Daisy is also one of my favorites. Maybe because she's such a rarity with merchandise and appearances. I figured with her being a main character in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, they're maybe making her more accessible than before. Growing up, I don't think I ever saw Daisy in the parks. The closest...

    Apparel for my 6'2" princess?

    Lucky her! Also in the same boat. I was 5'10 at 12. Towered over teachers in elementary school. Wore my mom's shoes in 4th grade..yet I come from a family of under 5'4 women so its all from my dad's side. Also looked much older than I was for my age because of the height. I found, depending...

    deathly afraid of "drops" on coasters... which ones would be okay?

    I also hate big drops and try to avoid rides with them. I'd say as far as coasters go, Big Thunder Mountain is really the best choice. Its maybe one drop but instead of dropping straight down at one point, it drops a little and goes into a curve. Space has alot of drops, plus you can't see where...

    Why MagicBands test is a failure for our family - and we haven't even arrived yet!

    To the OP: Can you write on the bands? While the gray is probably hideous and a color no one would voluntarily pick, maybe decorating it with waterproof Sharpies would make it a little more attractive? This would certainly be a cheaper alternative to all the accessories they're trying to...

    Figment

    The old one...look it up on youtube. But you probably should do it after your trip or it will just depress you. It was just really a well done 'classic' Disney ride complete with catchy tune. The new ride originally didn't even have Figment and they put him back in only after major uproar...

    FP+ Details Are Out!

    I predicted this 4 years ago while watching Illuminations. When Disney was first starting to do the whole 'cabana' at the water parks. If people will pay x amount for this, imagine what they'll pay for that. Personally, I find it sad. Gone are the days of the price of park admission giving...

    Daily rain shower time

    I remember it being anywhere from 4pm to 6pm and then it was done.

    To Shop, To Wait or To Ride?

    I spent my free time between rides reading in a shady spot for a FP that was a shorter wait than a standby line (Jungle Cruise). I saw the merchandise in one store, every other one had the exact same items. With all the smartphones and ipads, people can amuse themselves without spending this...

    Too serious!

    Did the Photopass guy not see that your husband was with a child? I would've mentioned it to Guest Services that the Photopass photographers are causing problems where there are none since your husband was behind him not in front of the lens. I say get rid of the whole thing, everyone...

    Disney World for the VERY tall

    I'm between 5'9 and 5'10, mostly legs, and also have had issues on the boat rides. I've found I had to angle my legs sideways to sit in them. Which of course makes less people able to fit on that bench. Space mountain, in the front of the rocket is especially problematic. I've banged my...

    How high is too much for you?

    I think it reached too high a few years ago. The cost increases don't seem to be keeping up with the upkeep of the parks and resorts. There is still the need for new monorails, still the need to fix DHS (or make it a 1/2 day charge to go there), major work that needs to be put into Future World...

    Ticket increase

    On the other hand, Universal is also building a bunch of new stuff (HP expansion, Simpsons). Disney built a restroom, a restaurant, and a ride that we should've had 20 years ago. Not to be a downer but I can't see Disney justifying the price increase when there's nothing really coming down the...

    Waiting in lines...

    I may have been little but I remember long lines at certain times of year during the 80s. That was when there actually was 'off-peak' times though. Unfortunately that's pretty much gone now. But going during school vacations or in the summer, the lines were pretty long. @Love Tink-...
