Disney now classifies upscale things as the Crown Collection

The only crown I will ever get will be in a glass!

The name for whatever reason seems like an odd choice here. I get where they were going with it though.

I think it's also interesting they chose to include the Deluxe resorts in there. Their rates may be upscale lol but I know a common comment is Deluxe at Disney does not equate to Deluxe elsewhere.

Definitely different amenities are standard at high end hotels you don’t get at Disney Deluxe hotels ... obviously other things you get by staying with Disney

Definitely first thing I thought of as well!

So, here we go again! The story states parade viewing is available and then you will be escorted to Tomorrowland Terrace for dessert party and fireworks viewing......but on the official disney site where you can book, nothing is mentioned about the parade viewing!

I might be totally misremembering (or maybe I am mixing it up with the similar thing they had at the Christmas party) but wasn’t the parade viewing last year for the 2nd parade? I seem to remember that coming up last year as people were saying that wasn’t much of a benefit as the 2nd parade is generally less crowded

I just added 2 days on to my free dining vacation in my signature and found out a few things about a split stay process.
1) I can add on tickets to my original package
2) Those tickets are good for 9 days from the start date, so I can use them on my second stay.
3) It took me 3 CMs and an hour on the phone to get that information.
4) All the discounts are gone from the internets for August. Still got a good deal on the CBR.
5) This is probably the wrong thread, but :shrug:

New Spaceship Earth dress

http://blogmickey.com/2019/03/new-spaceship-earth-dress-debuts-at-walt-disney-world/

Catching up but I gotta say, my body already looks like spaceship earth so I think I will be passing on the dress!

Not that anyone cares really just wanted to report back we were able to get Avengers: Endgame tickets for the AMC theater we wanted once the site was back to working

We're opting to go on Saturday rather than Friday because the movie times for normal showing were like 5pm or like 9pm lol and the people we are going with can't get off work early enough to make it to the 5ish time slot.

In any case I think I'll have to ignore this thread that Friday night into Saturday night to avoid all the comments and potential spoilers

We're going to the first showing (6PM) on Thursday so you might want to add that to list of days to avoid.

Ugh I waited too long to get married if the weddings are in this category. Pretty sure about 5 years ago Disney weddings were pretty affordable (comparatively speaking, and no, of course the price is not comparable if you get married in your backyard or at your local church for free).

I think the base packages are still pretty reasonable.

That's good to hear. I just wanted a base package anyway, who really needs to see the ceremony besides parents and siblings anyway? It's boring. I want to get married in AK.

Then I'll just throw a giant after party and rent out something. Like a private Illuminations party or something to that effect.

Well I'm not sure if the end game ticket presales are at Star wars levels, but I was shut out of the Alamo Drafthouse (my theater of choice) for opening night due to the site and app crashing.

Gotta go to the b&b instead.

We ended up doing Alamo through Fandango. Alamo even offered a voucher to purchase a glass if you went through Fandango. Normally, you can only get the glasses when you purchase the tickets directly through them.

Yes, when everything is for girls and nothing for little boys it is horrible. Everything is dream big princess what about little princes? Why doesn’t Disney partner up with Boy Scouts? Or how about a Boys and Girls club and be fair?

I can't tell you how much I want to dislike this. Being a female engineer, I could tell you stories about how women are "encouraged" in tech fields in college and in industry that would make your hair curl.

I wanted to rent out the area near Everest and do it there. My boyfriend wants to eventually do the Mt. Everest base camp hike, so I thought we could do that for the honeymoon and call it 'everest to everest'.

We're getting an invite to the after party right? Like I think I could convince Aaron for another WDW trip if say it was for a good cause
