there are quite a few social media influencers who advertise that they take an Uber to CR (or BC/BW and go to gateway) so that they can use their MK walkway/security and bypass TTC. One of them is an insta influencer who stays at the Four Seasons!
What about all of the thefts at GF? All of you
Well Stollen bread is on the menu so apparently the proprietors of the gingerbread house are complicit
The difference at the park is that when we go on Christmas, we can pay an extra fee for a separate queue to help our plight. We would love a separate line at the resort as well. We go many different times a year, too; mostly around holidays or spring break, and the end-of-year holidays are the best time to implement a separate line. Having a small queue outside vs almost past the elevators inside the lobby is like night and day. Disney stated that most of what they're offering in the Membership Magic Beyond are options that members had requested for a while - so they DO listen to hotel guests, but you'd have to just let them know. People doubted a "lightning lane" for the lounges would ever happen, but now there will be certain members with priority access during busy times. Everyone had free Fastpasses at the parks for so long until that changed as well. If Disney can monetize a separate monorail entry line for hotel guests, I don't see it as being far-fetched because it's not limiting the visitors.
My point is eventually the crowds will affect the resort guests. I’ve never seen the parking lot full where the back rows toward the poly are 100 % occupied. I talked to the check in CM and she said the resort side was full as well.
I don’t think Disney should promote overcrowding a resort. I don’t get the hype over the gingerbread. Taste stale and overpriced.
But Our tastes aren’t quite as refined as the afternoon tea crowd …
I would hope Disney would pave enough parking spots for worse case scenario. Maybe they sold weddings which adds to overcrowding.
Why would you need to implement it at 5 stops if it benefits resort guests? This is about access from the resort hotels. Getting onto the monorail From The Parks shouldn't need to change. And if it's only implemented for 5-6 weeks out of the year, I can't see how that's super expensive to implement. Realistic Disney expectations these days are to expect some priority access/upcharge. As I stated, you can expect crowds but you also expect it to be managed at some level. They have been managing it with upcharges/priority access. This can also happen at GF.
I've been wondering this myself. Who actually eats gingerbread? There must be 100 other treats around WDW that are more satisfying to eat than a slab of gingerbread. For that matter, what's the attraction of the gingerbread house in the first place? It's not like it's actually constructed from baked goods. Its a miniature fabricated house that people glue ginger bread on to!
That's true. My son was watching a live stream where a youtuber went back to GF 3-4X during the stream. She would leave and say, "Let's go to the Contemporary because it's not near as busy there." But then she would return, rinse, repeat. I can't understand why. NOTHING has changed on the gingerbread house since your last visit an hr ago.
Wait ………..what? Nooooooooooooooo!
This…
Did you really not know that the house isn't actually built with gingerbread?
I like gingerbread, I just don't care for Disney's gingerbread. Now you've got me in a baking mood. I need to look up my grandma's recipe. Served warm with ice cream or whipped cream it is yummy.
