    Does the Park Shoppers Pass Still Exist?

    Actually it still does. You have to purchase a 1 day ticket at Guest Services. Then you have to be back within 1 hr to get a refund and that apparently is strict. And that isn’t as much time as you’d think at Disney. Yes, you’ll pay for parking which isn’t refundable.

    Magic band notice - is this new?

    Its fascinating to hear all the complaints and arguments again. These same type of complaints occurred when they first brought out magic bands. People resisted having to give up key cards, and some never did. People hate change and the first reaction is to resist. And again, some will never give...

    Security Checks

    Hotelier here. Hotels everywhere have been doing room checks and it’s primarily due to human trafficking. They will not forewarn because that’s just the warning needed for someone to avoid the purpose of the security check. If there is reason to suspect then yes it could be anytime but otherwise...

    Transportation Ideas Please - Shades of Green and no Poly Monorail

    Have to agree with this, The extra time to GF from the Shades go Green path is about 10 minutes.

    wrist Bands .. how long do they last?

    The bands have two rfid tags in them. One is passive, doesn’t need a battery, that is activated by an active reader. That’s what’s happening with anything you have to tap such as the turnstiles, your room lock, making payments etc. The passive tag will last for the lifetime of the band. The...

    Closest Walmart to AKL

    Yep, that’s the one. Just off 192 but the OP should know that it isn’t very far from the World Drive turn off to 192. It can be very busy and you have to get over several lanes to the left quickly to make the left turn onto Old Lake Wilson. When I say busy, regularly bumper to bumper in all lanes.

    If flying into Orlando from Canada

    Not going to Fl but you are required to do a 14 day quarantine coming home and that is a full quarantine, no shopping even for food, no stops from the airport to home and no contacts when you reach home (even with social group and family). That said the government‘s official policy still is no...

    When do Christmas Decorations Go Up?

    Disney hasn’t said anything official about Christmas this year but the general feeling that with the Halloween parties having been cancelled that the Christmas ones will be too. The decorations went up to be ready for the parties and holiday crowds. This year as skeeter31 says it’s all guess...

    Anybody traveling to WDW this fall

    OP, does that date include the extension for the park closure time? All APs get an automatic extension for the amount of time the parks are closed so I would check that. As far as going, no, I just cancelled our Oct reservation. The experience now is nothing like the trips there we are all used...

    When will we get a new fleet of Monorail?

    Quite true about Bombardier, however, they have a deal to sell the entire train division to Alston of Germany. Last I heard it’s waiting European approval but when it goes ahead that alleviate the problems Bombardier had had meeting orders.

    Tell me about seniors and rides

    I’m 68 and the only ride I don’t do is Space Mtn and that’s due to a sports injury to a knee. You tend to slide down in the seat during the ride so getting out at the end is a real struggle. Space Mtn at Disneyland has better ride vehicles and is no problem.

    WDW in March 2021

    March temperatures can be all over the place from cold to hot so you basically have to plan for both extremes. The middle of the month is spring break time both in Canada and man US states. In a normal year that means after the first week of March the parks can be very crowded. In 2021 it will...

    Can I give ‘fake’ flight info for departure day for DME??

    I’d suggest ot making plans until we know the impact of the upcoming construction on 417. Central Florida Expressway just sent an email saying they will be adding new lanes between the airport and the Disney exits between ongoing until 2024. That could impact travel times and you may need the 3...

    Waiting for the reopening of the Skyliner

    Every station except Riviera has a separate track that a car with an ECV can be put onto and stopped. The main line keeps moving. At Riviera the line moves very slowly.

    Apple could buy Disney after pullback

    What are you talking about? Shares bought on the stock market do have voting rights. I have a lot, bought on the stock exchange, and every year I get voting info and forms to submit my votes and do. Nothing what you say about common stock or voting rights is remotely accurate.

    Housekeeping security?

    As a hotelier I can say it’s most likely primarily this. We all are on the lookout for this and it happens more than you’d think. Disney would be the kind of place that would be attractive to people trafficking kids.

    FL Travel Restrictions

    As long as the non-essential travel ban is in place you will not be allowed across the border. The way it’s going I would plan on not going April 28. This outbreak will not be over by then since it is still growing fast.

    Skyliner Resorts

    I really don’t understand why. The Skyliner is fast and simple to use. Gets you there easily. Not like there is no transportation. Oh, and I have a bit of fear of heights and didn’t bother me a bit so that’s not an argument. They do have buses going to the other parks and DS.

    Skyliner at Boardwalk question

    It’s actually very simple. There are 3 lines all terminating at the Carribean Beach resort. 1. Epcot International Gateway to CBR with a slowdown (not stop) at Riviera Resort where you could get off or on. 2. CBR to DHS. 3. CBR to POP/AOA resort ps (one stop for both). Since all lines meet at...
