Re: Are Annual passes worth it for children under 10

Yeah; AP prices are the same for all ages. Standard tickets are a bit cheaper for children under 10 than for adults, but the difference isn't huge these days (in the ballpark of $5 or less per ticket per day)-- it's not really big enough to meaningfully change the calculus on when it makes sense to ...

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

Music felt like what you'd get if upper management at Disney imposed a "soundtrack must be Disney music" constraint on Imagineering and Imagineering did their best effort at turning that into something that can fit at Epcot. Well.... https://blogmickey.com/2021/10/disney-ceo-bob-chapek-ca...

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

Liked it a little better on tonight's stream-- being able to see better made the show more enjoyable. That mostly just accentuates my main concern about the show above, though-- seems like the show's really sensitive to bad viewing angles, and a lot of World Showcase doesn't have the straight-on vie...

Re: Enchantment - what was that?

I liked Enchantment a lot more on the second viewing-- honestly, Disney did a kind of terrible job of streaming the show. Weird camera angles; underexposed castle projections (seems like they set exposure for Christina Aguilera and the Chapek/Iger intro and never adjusted them to look good during th...

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

I'll have to wait until I can see it in person to really get a good feel for it (and that's not happening until January), but I'm okay with it. IMO Illuminations and Epcot Forever were better, but this was serviceable. Music felt like what you'd get if upper management at Disney imposed a "soun...

Re: Club Cool lives!

Zach Riddley posted a few pictures of the new Club Cool on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CS9bhp0LxJd/ Also says Beverly is back in the new location; further details are to come. Hopefully they're keeping the old free sample model around (although I wouldn't object to being able to buy a ful...

Re: Disney Genie App

Genie+ is similar to what Maxpass used to be at Disneyland. The top-tier passes had it included though. You could also add it to an AP for a one time fee. It also included photopass. I haven't seen anything mentioned about how they will treat this with Genie+ though. The big difference from MaxPass...

Re: Disney Genie App

My big question's if they're going to throw any kind of bone to resort guests-- right now, there's very little benefit to actually staying on site (Magical Express is gone, FastPass+ pre-booking is gone, Extra Magic Hours are substantially cut back in the morning and evening EMH is gone). Genie+ inc...

Re: COVID-19 Masks Required Indoors, per the Mayor

Not a mandate and Disney has yet to make any official policy changes; per your first link: "I am not at the point, at this point, where I want to reinstitute a mandate," Demings said Monday. "This is a strong recommendation at this point. We will continue to monitor these numbers on a...
