I will add one thing. You might be able to rent DVC points and make the trip a little cheaper while still staying at the Poly. If you are interested, let me know. I'll post full details.
i don't generally recommend 1st timers rent DVC points. Yes, it can be cheaper. but it is a bit more of a hassle (not a ton) and i prefer they kind of go through the organic booking experience first...just a little clearer of a runway for someone already overwhelmed with choices.
Yeah, it's true but also kinda mis-leading. The rooms are generally nicer and in the nicer hotels so they are an upgrade to begin with. There is not daily full maid service, but if you need extra towels or anything like that they will bring them to the room fairly quickly. You can also just grab extra towels, specifically, at the pools because there are large containers full of them that you can grab. The rooms usually have more of a kitchen area to many having a full kitchen depending on the size. The kitchen saves you a ton of money and all things considered the central convenience stores in the hotels that sell "groceries" aren't nearly as expensive as you might think they would be.
On the bus from Port Orleans Riverside to MK a few years ago... evening ride back to the park after an afternoon back at the hotel... group of 20-somethings on the bus singing at the tops of their lungs, “THERE’S A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW!” at every stop, every group that boarded the bus, every time the bus stopped for a red light, and of course pulling into the bus station at MK. Because I have the moral compass and sense of humor of an 11-year-old, I’m bursting out laughing thinking this is the greatest shtick ever. I slap hands with them as we get off the bus, thanking them for the show, and they tell me “we’re not going to be the only ones with that ####### song stuck in our heads tonight!” At this point I’m nearly falling over laughing, assuring them their work was successful and they are not the only captives of this earworm.
My kids may have seen on this too much.
my daughter found a youtube video of a 'bunch of people' singing the loin king opening on a plane. I told her that it looked like fun and we should do that on the next flight down. She is really looking forward to it.
i have to admit, that it is amazing seeing these stories resurrected again from when i was a 8 year old kid playing with my action figures—now seeing my kids playing with them.
Thanks. This is going to be so epic. And the more ive thought about it, the more I love that it is its own story.
Does anyone know when this opens in 2019? All I hear is the year without any more specifics as to when. Family and I are going down in April next year and would love to visit if it’s open.
you'll most likely just miss the opening, sorry. Toy Story is scheduled for June 30 of this year and I would expect SW to be the same in 19. They are saying "Mid-year" and that would put it in the may-june area.
I agree with glv. Pandora was May, you story land June. I don't think April will happen.
If it was loud and/or inappropriate I would probably see if I could get a CM to make them stop. If one was around a simple “hey guys, turn it down please” will get most to turn it down or off.
It was ridiculous and I was in a mood where if I would have said something it wouldn't have been politely. It happened a few different times. Is that a thing now?
We had “Party in the USA” break out in line for the little mermaid Sunday...didn’t annoy us though. If it had been vulgar then yeah.
Space Mtn seemed to be limping along. Both times we went through yesterday the waiting lines were pitch black. Could hardly see. None of the time waster games were working and it seemed really hot in line. I was looking around at the ride and realized how desperately that ride needs a make over.
I did feel that way at the time, but as I thought more about it, I think it was more them using the speaker. Well, that and them absolutely butchering quality songs made well before they were born.
I was just talking this morning about us skipping a beach week to drive down during July. I told my wife this clinches it. My favorite Disney Park by far.
they have been doing some DVC parties there at night and it looks very cool. I guess those were test beds for something like this
honestly—and may the Disney gods not hear me say this—you may want to just do Universal. They have 2 parks and a brand new water park—volcano Bay. If you look at ticket options, the 3 day/3 park ticket might be the best deal vs trying to do a 1 day at Universal, 1 day at Disney and 1 day at a water park. Lots to do at those parks for young adults, plus city walk for night time. Maybe hit Disney springs one night just to change it up.
Typhoon Lagoon! Crushin Gusher is a blast and I'm not even a water slide guy.
surprised/not surprised
I suppose instead of raising room rates another $20 a night, they did this. Also allows them to offer "free parking" as a perk instead of an expectation.glvsav37 said:
There wasn't much grumbling at the last couple DLR park ticket price increases among DLR AP holders. As a group they are willing to pay extra if it means thinning in-park traffic out a little.There’s too many people at the parks. WAY too many people. Disney knows this so they have a free pass to gouge people for whatever they want. It won’t stop people from coming, so
Yeah, that’s it. It really does feel like that’s the case. I’m no expert but I’ve come enough to know what a crowded, near capacity park feels like and this is far from it.
