I need some help with deciding between two resorts for an adult Disneyworld vacation. I am wanting proximity to all the parks and best restaurant options (in restaurant dining and to go). The choices are between Riviera and the Polynesian resorts. Thank you. Not sure if you are still deciding, but ...

EPCOT is my fave park. I think it has something to do with being older :lol: There's something classic about it and it stands out to me. It's definitely much more low-key than MK. I think it has to be with Sorain and Test Track being my fave rides. I can't even say I like it because of the "adu...

That's somehwat true. They will definitely encourage you to get on the skyline vs. waiting for the bus. That was my experience in staying at Caribbean beach. The sign for the bus times showed "Skyliner" under EPCOT for example so we just waited for it. *found an image online to show what I...

Interesting that the prices will change based on the season/day Prices will vary by date, attraction and park. For example, the Lightning Lane entrance to Remy's Ratatouille Adventure will be $9 per person on October 19 and $11 per person on October 23. As another example, on both those dates, Light...

The comments from current APs are not that great... an increase plus losing the Photo Pass seems a bit harsh imo.

The sign looks cool, I'm excited to see the reveal!

I would say Riviera or Caribbean Beach Resort. I found the benefits of staying near the skyline to be really attractive. You can explore & try new foods, or you can get over to HS/Epcot pretty quickly. If you're on a budget, Pop Century isn't bad, the quick-service food got a bit boring after a ...

Disney Genie+ service (available for purchase): For the price of $15 per ticket per day at Walt Disney World Resort and $20 per ticket per day at Disneyland Resort, choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Lane entrance. You can make o...

The fact that you're going to have your own car means you probably won't need Magical Express & you can bypass needing to be close to transportation options. If you plan to be at the parks all day or if it's a brief trip I would say skip it, or stay at a value resort if there's room. Staying off...

It's taking place for 18 months

I am planning my fall and winter trips to WDW and I am noticing that it's really hard to book a room for after September. Almost impossible for less than $400 per night. All Star resorts, Pop are almost completely booked. I found a couple weeks in there that Pop is open but at over $225 per night a...

I wonder how long that would survive in the summer heat looks delicious though, love watermelon.

What are everyone's thoughts on the latest updates from Disney this morning about the 50th? I think it all sounds so amazing! I'm really curious about the Animal Kingdom daytime show In case you missed it: new fireworks show, Harmonious date, new daytime show at AK, new gold sculptures & new cav...

My family hadn't been in a while, and then we visited a few years ago and we started going almost 2x/year. It's like we were hit with the Disney bug. It's just so convenient when it comes to planning activities & there is usually something new every time we visit. Haven't been able to find time ...

I definitely understand not wanting to shell out so much for less of the experience. I wonder if people are banking on the fact that the event may continue to expand with restrictions being eased? Not sure. I read about the difficulty of getting tickets on a few blogs which is also interesting.

I think because they're not doing temp checks etc. & the social distancing is allegedly changing, they probably have to update some of the signs. Touchy subject for some but I know some people will be relieved with whatever the new guidelines are!

I stayed at the Springhill Suites in Lake Buena Vista https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/mcolx-springhill-suites-orlando-lake-buena-vista-in-marriott-village/ It was a WDW Good Neighbor Hotel so they had shuttles + you were able to buy tix there (which I didn't) Overall, it was a good experience...

It was a toss-up between monorail and skyline. They both give great scenic views and I like the narration aspect. I love the convenience of the skyline especially when staying at a hotel near those stations, you get whisked away, and then you're at the park. I'm a bit wary when it comes to heights b...

This is such great news. I would have loved to have this experience when I was in undergrad.

This is a good question. I don't have any travel plans but part of me would want to be there right during the first week when everything is happening to be among the crowd, a part of the initial excitement. I'm wondering if things are going to continue to be released over the course of the anniversa...

viewtopic.php?f=26&t=97 there are some review in this thread

I was going to start another thread but thought this could also fit in here. Disney has done an "ASMR" video for Earth Day and I actually found it clever Celebrate Earth Day Through ASMR with Disney's Animal Kingdom Nature Sounds | Walt Disney World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTSL5EY...

I'm late on this but probably here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/50th-anniversary/ as well as some trusted blogs & the WDWparks social media pages

For those interested in this type of experience and plan to visit Hersheypark in Pennsylvania you may want to plan an extra day and drive 45 min. south to Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster, PA https://www.sight-sound.com/ I've been to a few shows and the acting, live animals, and stage productio...

Just thought I would start a place to express our thanks for last night's live stream! It was especially great to see the return of live entertainment with such a great band last night. Tell me what you enjoyed most from last night. https://i.postimg.cc/XYzqNdQf/Screenshot-20210417-094931.png The m...
