Disneyland Honeymoon !?

Happy Monday! My fiancé and I are getting married in 2023, and we were considering spending a couple days at Disneyland as part of our honeymoon (the other days would be spent in a more relaxing place, like on a beach, haha - we were thinking of spending a few days in San Diego and Coronado Beach an...

Orlando Sentinel Article on Reedy Creek Fire Department

Has anyone else read the Orlando Sentinel’s article discussing how firefighters at Disney’s Reedy Creek Fire Department have expressed staffing concerns? I’ve included a link to the article below! I’ve always felt like Disney is safe. But it’s really concerning to hear that the people tasked with th...

Re: There were many mixed opinions on Harmonious

I’ll be honest, I liked it better the second time I watched it than the first. I LOVE the Coco and Princess and the Frog parts. I guess my main criticism is it doesn’t feel like it really flows together into a cohesive show to me. But the individual parts are solid. I also don’t love that you can on...

Re: Harmonious Soft/Cast Preview, Sept 29th Epcot

I don’t know how to feel about Harmonious. Dale did a great job streaming! But the show itself felt like it sort of left something to be desired. It felt like a mash-up of different Disney songs, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. My favorite parts were songs we hadn’t seen in a nighttime show bef...

That’s so crazy! I’ve heard about this happening to the princesses too. They’re people, not props! You can’t just touch people! I don’t understand why that’s so hard for some to understand.

Re: Creation Store Opening EPCOT

I have to admit, I was a little skeptical when I read about the new design, but I think it looks really good from what I’ve seen. I love that you can see Spaceship Earth through the big windows. I was pretty disappointed with the World of Disney renovations a few years back. For whatever reason, the...

Re: Where would you stay on a solo trip?

I would check into renting someone's dvc points and maybe looking at a two person studio at the Riveria Resort. My absolute favorite resort is the Contempo-specifically the Garden Wing. It's cheaper and you don't have to deal with the Chef Mickey Crowds. You can walk to Magic Kingdom or better yet ...

Re: Magic Kingdom DJ

Disney put the D.J. in a very awkward spot. Some prominent tik-tokers even called out streamers and vloggers by name as bullies-RTV1 was even named as a bully. Disney is at fault here and anyone who is giving the guy a hard time-he did his job well. It just didn't fit with Main Street and people fe...

Re: How are COVID restrictions/park capacity? Travel Insurance? 49 Days until our trip!

Oh! And as a side note for travel insurance, be sure to read the policy before you purchase it if you're considering it. Travel insurance might cover something like interruptions for hurricanes, I'm not sure. But, I definitely had to cancel a flight for a conference in March of 2020 in the early day...

Re: How are COVID restrictions/park capacity? Travel Insurance? 49 Days until our trip!

I think it depends on the needs/acceptable risk level for your family and who you interact with back home. My family went to Disney in May and didn't buy theme park tickets. Instead, we spent a few days in a nice DVC room to use up DVC points and enjoyed the hotel while avoiding other guests. We hav...

Re: Would you pay for a fast pass?

I would MAYBE pay for a fast pass for the day, if that makes sense. For example, if it was an extra ticket add on like a park hopper and you got to go through the fast pass line as many times as you want or maybe if it was even just more fast passes (more than the three free ones WDW used to give), ...
