50 Enhancements across WDW for the 50th

[lockedoutlogic]

I love it. When those characters were added to the DL version everyone was up in arms.

Ten years later, "they're very well done."

I'm annoyed...they weren't there the first time I was out there...but it was down for the Christmas overlay last fall and I didn't get to see them.

That's what I hate about overlays...mandatory down time.

Enhancement #34 - I just downloaded the updated MDE app on my phone.

How would you add balconies on exterior entry rooms?

It was a joke. A girl can dream can't she?!?

Oh no doubt

How would you add balconies on exterior entry rooms?

Take your chairs outside and sit in the walkway outside your door.

Yeah...funny thing is that's 100% against fire code

 

[BuckeyeBama]

You would be shocked at how many things that we do every day are against fire code. At any rate, it happens every day at WDW value resorts and no one has been harmed.

Of course...but know that housekeeping manager are only doing their jobs if they clear people off the walkways...that's ignored but well defined.

Serious? I thought it was only 80%

Really y'all, there is not much difference between a Moderate and a Deluxe, amenity-wise. The differences are monorail access, etc, not the hotel itself. I always feel like I've been taken a bit advantage of at a Deluxe, because it is certainly not a 4-star experience.

I totally disagree. Room size is larger. Most have balconies or patios. Most have a chair or sofa to sit on . Completely different experience in my book. The problem is that deluxe pricing is out of bounds. The transportation perks are nice but any WDW vet knows how to get around.

Remember-- 63% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

90% of the game is 50% mental

After you give 110%....

-
- Unique night parade at Magic Kingdom
- Let characters wander around - that's one of my favorite things about Disneyland ... interactions with characters, especially face characters, seems SO much more organic when they're wandering around the park and they run into you versus you waiting in a line in a "themed room" to see them.
- Find ways to expand the "magic" experience - like when you see your name at the end of IASW? Or waiting in line for RnR or Yeti. What if you saw your family's PhotoPass picture projected on the castle as part of a fireworks pre-show?

And, yeah, anything similar to Year of a Million Dreams. I remember standing in the queue waiting to board BTMRR when we saw the "Dreams Crew" come in the exit ramp. You could hear all the guests waiting in line gasp to see what they were handing out to the train coming in to the station to exit the ride.

FOR ME (and I know I'm in the minority), new rides and upgrades to rides would be great - but the whole "Magical Experience" of Disney has been consistently downgrading. I've spent so much time at WDW since 1989 and that's the one thing that makes me saddest. The entertainment (especially ambient/roaming entertainment) has dwindled to non-existent. The magic experiences you used to happen across - like random characters, street entertainment like the hoedown in Frontierland, PUSH the Trashcan, etc., have been replaced by more "hurry up and wait" events.

I agree 100% about the "Magical Experience" aspect you are talking about. Experiences overall have definitely been downgraded at WDW in recent years. Character experiences are much more fun at Disneyland, for the very reasons you state. And I'm certain I can't be the only one who really misses the night parade at MK.

Do we think the HM eatery will happen?

 

[jknezek]

Do we think the HM eatery will happen?

I hope so. Unless they put it in Columbia Harbor House, then I hope not. Best and favorite QS in MK and I don't want it messed with. Whenever someone asks where they should eat in MK for QS, CHH is my first rec.

I would think they would get rid of The Diamond Horseshoe first right? It's like a less good LTT

Plus it is closed most of the time. But there was some discussion about whether this would be qs or ts. and I guess that makes all the difference. Plus CHH is so close to HM. It concerns me. But as I pointed out, the Rapunzel bathrooms have some green space between the bathrooms and the HM entrance gates that could also hold a properly themed building. We just don't have these answers.

That's also true. I am hoping sit down because those can be a little lacking in MK if you ask me. And don't get me started on how much Tony's needs an overhaul.
