What are you hoping returns by Fall 2022?!?

[jliucci]

We are finally returning to Disney this November and haven't been since pre-covid (Sept 2019). In all honesty I'm excited because we LOVE Disney, but not as excited as prior trip. A lot of that has to do with the added stress of the new Genie+ and LL, but also because there are things we love that have not yet returned. I am keeping my fingers crossed for the following to return by Fall 2022.. What is everyone's thoughts?? What are you hoping returns by your next trip?

Disney Dining Plan
Real Character Meet & Greets (we have small kids who will miss hugs and autographs)
Fantasmic
Character meals (Garden Grille breakfast, 1900 Park fare, Trattoria al Forno princess breakfast)
Normal housekeeping (I'm on vacation! lol)
180 ADR booking window

I am ready for Mickeys not so scary party, I would love my kids to hug characters and get Autographs again. REAL Character meals with characters going table to table. I may be the only one but i miss enchanted tales with belle.

 

[dkostel]

Iger or even Eisner

We are also going in November and are excited! A few things I would like to see back:

Citizens of Hollywood
HDDR
Actual pictures with characters and autographs (we don’t do autograph books but want the pictures)
REAL character meals with meets and interactions (we only want to do one character meal but want the full experience)
Housekeeping
FP+

I'm with you... but skip the character meal.

Be nice to bring back full a la carte menus and do away with prix fixe restaurants.
Full, daily housekeeping please.
And Fastpass+.

And lastly, the Adventurer's Club... kungaloosh!

Tumble monkeys
HEA (a girl can dream)
180+ dining
Serious work done on Genie+
extra magic hours (not the skimpy 1/2 hr am)

We only want to do Topolinos breakfast. We will do it how it is now but prefer more interaction.

I agree on the prix fixe meals! It’s why we are skipping CG for now. If they go back to their full menu I may book it.

 

[kanerf]

I want everything back and no masks required anywhere.

I love it! No compromise, we want it all back! Even the pricing.

If I was to pick one character meal it would be Storybook...

Unique characters and a great menu. Enjoy Topolino's breakfast.

Ugh, I realize all of my wishful thinking is just that.. wishful.. but I'd really love to have the Magical Express back, some real Extra Magic Hours ('cause 30 minutes is just not enough; I know, I should be grateful, but I'm not LOL), and some cheaper prices at the values. For me, that would do it.

We went to Topolino's breakfast for the first time 2 weeks ago and LOVED everything about it!!! Enjoy!

Kindness.

In all seriousness -

*Disney's College Program & International Cast Members (to staff the World Showcase)
*Elimination of prix fixe and reduced optionality on menus
*More on-site resort perks like longer EMH. Half hour is a joke.

Minnie Vans
1900 Park Fare
Akershus
Housekeeping
Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

 

[JenSop]

We already went for this year (January), but I definitely have a list of things I want back before my next trip!
- Tables in Wonderland!!!!
- 180 day dining reservations. (I HATE having to compete with non-planners just 60 days out)
- Elimination of some of the crappy parts about Genie+.
- More on-site resort perks

We did Storybook for the first time last week and it was the best experience of the week easily. Even with distanced characters (I'd like to see that eliminated soon) the food was excellent and probably the best Evil Queen character on the planet. Of course we loved all of the characters, but the queen was off the charts good.

Have not done Topolino's but it is certainly on the list.

 

[snikki]

Hmmm maybe we should give storybook dining a try. I didn’t realize the food was so good.

If you like the items listed on the menu it is excellent. The mushroom bisque was an unexpected favorite of mine. We also went a little early and hung out by the fireplaces, grabbed some drinks at the Territory Lounge (our girls, 6 & 9 had their first Shirley Temples) and there was a photographer in the lobby so we also got pics taken. It was an overall excellent experience rounded out with a close to perfect dinner experience (for us).

Can you get socially distanced pictures with the queen right now? Hopefully by November we can meet characters the old way.

You can indeed. We got good pics with each of the characters (though will definitely be better when distancing is no longer required). I certainly hope it is more back to normal by November.
