    Which resort is a never or never again for you?

    I have to reply to myself from early in the thread- I went back on my word. No- not camping! I managed to get a theme park view at The Contemporary, which I've always wanted but could never get. I loved the view! Loved watching fireworks from the room! But then there's the re-furb. Now that...

    What new park developments are you most excited about from #D23?

    I agree with you on this. In my own thoughts I'm wondering if the blue sky were put out there as the 'here's what we're thinking' rather than announcements partially due to all the BIG announcements from 2019 (?) that quietly went away like Reflections, Mary Poppins (ok that did a brief...

    Disney World Annual Pass Renewal Poll

    I renewed down a couple levels to Pirate from Platinum. Incredi-Pass is just too big a price jump. It was good having no black-out dates but not $99 per month good. Pirate will work just fine for me.

    Annual pass renewal question

    I renewed Wednesday at Disney Springs Ticket Center- Easy. I had Platinum but downgraded to Pirate- $55 per month. I found the price jump from Florida Resident Platinum to Incredible-Pass too much to swallow. I'm fine with the downgrade since I don't plan on going holiday periods anymore (been...

    Are you considering not renewing your Annual Pass?

    I will renew shortly when my window opens, but at a lower level. I have legacy Platinum now, but I don't see the value in the Incredible-Pass. I bought the Platinum when I moved to Central Florida 4 years ago. After the down payment it was $52 per month. I went often, so it was worth it. There...

    Which resort is a never or never again for you?

    My never is tent camping at FW. I went camping once. Once! (I wouldn't say no to a FW cabin though) My never again is Contemporary. I've stayed many times since 1980. I was just a teen and was WOW'd by the luxury. A phone in the bathroom! Chocolates on your pillow for turndown! And that...

    Passing on Genie + altogether?

    I've tried it in all the parks except Epcot. Don't like it and I won't be using it again. I might use ILL$ for RotR but I think I'll try the strategy of waiting till park closing time to hop on the line. Heading to Epcot tomorrow. Nope- not using it.

    Everything Park Reservations - Please Read Post 1

    Your reservation should be good all day from park open to close. On Oct 1 (50th Anniversary day) my reservation was for MK. I went back to the resort around 2 for lunch reservation and returned to MK- which had been closed to Park Hoppers but those with MK reservation for that day, myself...

    FYI Annual Pass Sales Halted

    Invitations to sign up for the preview are emailed. If you receive the email you need to respond quickly to secure a spot. Not every AP holder receives the email though- I did get the Galaxy's Edge preview in 2019 but I did not get the one for Remy. Keep watching the boards and you'll find out...

    Does anyone use the Genie to help guide them through their park day?

    I haven't tried the dining availability feature yet, but it does look like it can come in handy, and others have had success with securing a table. As far as the personalized itinerary, it hasn't helped. When putting in my preferences I check 'accessiblity' as I'm disabled. In MK it keeps...

    Anyone stay at Port Orleans Riverside lately?

    I was there for a 3 night staycation week before Thanksgiving. No complaints. Room was ready around 1:30. Everything was clean. Food court was up and running - multiple stations were open and had a decent size menu. It was obvious that the resort was not fully opened up yet as there were always...

    So, how is the candlelight processional at Epcot, right now?

    The show is 45 minutes, you'll have 5 minutes to get from American Gardens to Space 220. In the past I've found the restaurants giving people time to get there. Can anyone chime in on how much late time they give lately?

    So, how is the candlelight processional at Epcot, right now?

    On Dec 1, people were getting on both lines an hour (or more) before showtime. I had Dining Package for the 7:00 show and was on line at 6. After Dining Package were seated there was still plenty of seating available, and social distancing was not requested. From what I could see, standby line...

    Disney Genie announcement

    After watching bloggers reviews and reading experiences here I decided to give it a try. My initial feelings were negative - as I read how to use it a nagging voice says to me "this used to come free your ticket"- but I wanted to see for myself. I did a three day stay-cation (I live an hour...

    RotR ILL$ purchase experience at 7am - post your times

    I logged on to MDE at 7:00 sharp, navigated to the right screen which took under a minute, but was too long. earliest time offered was 5:00. By the time I started payment (couple seconds) I was pushed to 5:25. Like one PP said quick fingers are needed! (And a later model phone!)

    Candlelight Processional Dining packages are posted!

    Same thing happened to me this afternoon. About three hours after I booked CP is when the email confirmation arrived. Unusual yes, but kinda par for the course with how this all rolled out.

    Candlelight Processional Dining packages are posted!

    Based on what the PP's were finding today I took a chance- I got 12/1 Biergarten 3:00 lunch with the 7:00 show. Thanks for your perseverance! I had pretty much given up.

    Candlelight Processional Returning!! Nov 26 - December 30th

    A poster on the restaurants board had reported that- their post was time stamped 7 minutes previous (I think it was 10ish?)- so I jumped onto the site- went to the ADR section this time and- all gone. I did a regular restaurant search for 12/1 early this morning. There was an early dinner at...

    Candlelight Processional Dining packages are posted!

    This was just beyond disappointing! I checked at midnight and got the message others did. I got up early and made sure I was on the website at 5:45 AM- same message. Again at 6:00 sharp- same- not even a hint of availability. Checked every 15 minutes until 7:00 when I finally got the message...
