I am really hoping Bob Iger does away with the park-based pricing. It really takes away the ability to change parks easily. I wouldn’t want to spend a premium for a park for my family to change their minds and want to go to what would have been a less expensive ticket.

Really disappointed. Pre covid, these winter/spring visit tickets included weekends with some holiday blackouts. Last year they offered two types, weekdays and weekends resident tickets.

Incredibly disappointed to see them not offer any weekend visit tickets for residents, especially when APs aren't even available.

Just a heads up, looks like the missing posts issue has been fixed and hopefully you can see this one.

 

[scrappinginontario]

With the new Park Variable Pricing if I have a 1 day trip planned for Dec 17th at EPCOT only.....maybe a park hopper added,

Buy tickets now or wait to see what pricing is like on Dec 8th?

I would buy now. I'd be shocked if any prices drop Dec 8th.

Limited Minnie Van Airport Service Resumes This Month With Price Increase

Disney World has confirmed that very limited Minnie Van airport service will return this month. We posted a rumor about its return a few days ago. According to BlogMickey.com sources, limited airport service will return on December 14th. Airport service will initially be limited to Club Level Guests only and a date for widespread availability has not yet been identified.

Guests who wish to book the Minnie Van Airport Service can reach out to Disney Signature Services, and sales have already started.

DL has been and will always be considered a "locals" park where as WDW is considered an international destination.

Man, I can't wait for all the "fans" to hate this film for no reason!

For the record, I think it looks good, but I also enjoy all of the previous entries.

This is not shocking - they are a blight on the corporate world and Chapek seems like the kind of guy to go all-in with them.
