Any recommendations on scooter rentals at WDW? Pretty sure we're going to need one early next year when my parents come to Disney with my family.
There was a massive tugowar on the direction of the disney app. The tech stooges won and convinced the execs they could make all the problems go away via tech. They were obviously wrong. They need to get back to listening to the focus groups
I have not used them, but I know https://goldmobilityscooters.com/ is pretty good. THey were actually working with Bob Gurr, former imagineer, on creating a special scooter.Any recommendations on scooter rentals at WDW?

Love the old school reference.seahorn for my 8/27 trip to disney land
Ok, Saturday we rolled over to the Disney hotel at 1130 and low and behold my sister's room was ready! Nothing else to add on the hotel side as it's all been covered before.
Sunday, those that stayed at the hotel got in early at 710! I met up at my son's hotel at 730 and then we walked over, cleared security and were in the park by 745 so we cruised main street until the rest of the park was opened up to us at 0800. We made a mistake by trying to go straight to Rise of the resistance, once we got back there the line was stretched out to about an hour and change so we U-turned it back to Thunder Mountain while reserving Indiana Jones.
Lightning Lane was crucial for me to enjoy the day as we walked right on Indiana after Thunder Mountain and immediately selected the mattahorn once we were checked in. We walked over and went on the mattahorn right away so we could sign up for space mountain. Once off the mattahorn we jumped on star tours (walked right on) and then buzz lightyear (walked right on). We realized once we got off space mountian that we had done 6 rides in just under 2 hours It was starting to get hot so we grabbed a bite to eat and reserved Soarin' around the world because we were switching parks right at 11, we did go on pirate's before switching because the wait time was 5 minutes. Once we switched it was time for Soarin' ; we had to wait an extra 15 mins because it broke but from there we did Guardians, incredicoaster and web slingers all with no wait thanks to LL. A quick lunch and some adult beverages and it was time for the rapids ride and then a few more adult beverages before heading back over to disney and a bunch of smaller rides. We then used the LL for thunder mountain and kept checking times for Rise but it was holding steady at 45 minutes so back to pirates with no wait it was. Once we got off pirate's we saw that Rise was down to a 15 minute wait as it was right before the fireworks so we walked back over there and literally never stopped walking through the line until we were on it!! From there we were done and made our way out of the park around 10ish, some of the stuff between 3-5pm is blurry because it was hot and we put down a good number beers

Man I've never been to DIsneyland (only World) but being able to hit all those rides (that are in different parks at DW) in one day sounds pretty enticing.

Genie/LL is incredible. Suck it poor people!
I kid but it is fantastic and I hate that it’s become such a premium thing that many families are priced out of it.

It's only like 30 bucks even on high traffic days. When we were there last the Express pass at Universal was $400 per person, per day. On top of the ticket price

the shark play is to stay at one of their deluxe resorts and the express pass is included as a free perk.

Yeah, my brother has a family of 6 and he used to book a room for one night just to get the express pass.

Yeah they've caught onto that a bit though. We tried but it was only 1 day for 6 people and they wouldn't let us book for 1 night and required us to book 2 rooms (so 2 rooms for 2 nights each).
Can definitely be a savings in the right situation. But they've tightened up on it.
So, hurricane day at Disney so I decided to be crazy since the wife was iffy about having fun in the rain. She was a trooper and did Hollywood all morning but bailed at lunch since more rain was moving in. The storm kept the crowds to ridiculous low levels so I did something I always wanted to do and hit all 4 parks.
Not sure I can top this day:
Slept in some, got up at 7:45, still at HS for early entry at 8:30. Rode Mickey-Minnie, Slinky, TSM, Rise, ToT x 2, RnR, blueberry Mickey waffles, Ronto Roosters. Lunch at Ale & Compass with the wife and she went to the room. I soldiered on.
EPCOT - hit a bunch of F&W kiosks while riding Remy, Frozen, Figment (still sucks), Soarin, Guardians x 2.
Quick stop at AK to ride Avatar and grab a cocktail at Nomad Lounge.
Got to MK just before 8:00. Rode Big Thunder, grabbed a BBQ slaw dog at Casey’s, rode Space Mountain and then bought a new Mickey Halloween coffee mug on my way out - got the hell out before the fireworks started. Just missed out on getting a late Tron VQ and wasn’t willing to pay the $20.
30k steps but was a really fun day.
Just did this last week at Universal Orlando ( Tues-Wed ). we only had 3 people and I think they limit it to 5 per room.

Amazing.
I've seen people posting that were there today in some of the Disney groups as well. So jelly.
My wife and kids were in Epcot yesterday. Had their ponchos on and still had a good time. They did some princess breakfast and the pictures/videos make it look my daughter (5) was living her best life.So, hurricane day at Disney so I decided to be crazy since the wife was iffy about having fun in the rain.

Definitely had to bring a poncho but it really wasn’t nearly as bad as you would think. I always feel bad for folks who get rained out during one of their only visits but as long as it’s not pouring you can still manage to get a lot done - especially if you know what to do.

I grew up in Florida and rainy days were always our favorite days because the parks cleared out and the lines were super short after. These days it's not like that as much anymore with people realizing this and the super expensive price of tickets that people aren't willing to just skip out on because of a little rain, but I guess the edge of a hurricane is still an exception to that rule!
Our kids grew up in Utah and last time we were at Animal Kingdom there was a typical Florida thunderstorm and our son (who was around 5 at the time) legit thought the world was ending. He'd never seen anything like it. It was actually late enough in the day that time that the park did clear out, so for the last hour or so we could just walk right on to most rides.
Early hotel hours are a big fat waste of time at animal kingdom. Fyi everybody.
FOP was only thing open. The safari wasn't running. Gorilla falls wasn't even open. That is just walking around looking at animals, how can that be closed???Early hotel hours are a big fat waste of time at animal kingdom. Fyi everybody.
Think it depends on how anxious you are to ride Avatar: FOP or to see animals. But generally speaking I agree - especially if you are willing to pay for the FOP LL. My recommendation to folks is to always get Genie and then park hop. But I know everybody’s touring is different.
Very, very cool experience . My niece did a band thing at Disney Springs a few years ago, but they didn't have any kind of party for them. Glad to see Disney stepped up their game here.Just got back from a WDW short trip. Stayed at Port Orleans Riverside. We typically stay at Boardwalk / Beach Club to minimize bus travel to the parks, but was pleasantly surprised at the wait times for the buses. Definitely better than our last trip.
My daughter’s dance team got invited to dance in a parade at MK. Very cool experience for her as she is a huge Disney fan. We were told that there would be a VIP party for all the dancers and their families the night of the parade. They chartered a bus to AK at 9pm. Got escorted to Pandora, where we had access to FoP and Navi all to ourselves until midnight. Daughter and her friends rode FoP 5 times. They put out food, drinks and dessert for us as well. Amazing experience for us.
We so happened to be in Magic Kingdom on Friday 1/26, which was the last day of Country Bears before it was shut down for the remake. It was packed, and the woman next to me said she and her family had flown down from Michigan the night before just for this.Country Bears are being remade to sing country versions of Disney songs, set to debut in 2024
Has Disney fatigue officially set in for everyone? This is the first time in the longest that we really have no plans to go. ROI just isn't what it used to be, at least not IMO. Huge crowds that are seemingly becoming a bit more obnoxious, that could just be my twitter and Reddit feeds though?Wow, this thread has been quiet.
Anyway, the family and my parents are t-minus 27 days to our next trip. We got our park tickets yesterday and I'm astounded how much more they were than just this time last year.
We're hitting up Boathouse, Le Chef de France and Ohana for dinner, with two days still undecided. One night will just be me and my wife (we're driving since my wife won't fly and my kids and parents are taking a late flight) so we'll probably do something fancy that night.
I'm trying to do as many things as my parents want too since this is likely the last time they'll be going. Staying at Jambo House since my dad has always wanted to. Going to Ohana since it's my mom's favorite going to France because it's my dad's favorite.
Beginning of March can't come fast enough.
Sounds like your kids outgrew Disney. Mine did as well. There came a time where they wanted Universal instead.Has Disney fatigue officially set in for everyone?

Kids are busting a gut to get back to Universal though.
2014-2018 was sort of our golden age of Disney. When talking prices and what not with friends and amongst ourselves we came up with the idea that $1000 a day at Disney allowed you to live like kings for your vacation. Nice Deluxe resort, tickets, park hopper, plenty of food with the meal plan, drinks...it all seemed to average out $1000 a day (very unscientifically).Sounds like your kids outgrew Disney.

Haven't been to Disney since 2018 and I honestly don't miss it or their ridiculous prices.
Going to Ohana next Thursday. Can't wait.Quick trip down for a couple days.
Ohana will be enjoyed tonight. Though, to quote the late great philosopher, Tony Keith.... I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was.

I'm going to Ohana because it's my mom's favorite. I'd probably skip it otherwise.Agree GM....we were pass holders before COVID and have been back a few times in the last few months. Parks were pretty good the last couple times we went, but prices are up for the same product and they are going up again in 2025. I am curious what those going to Ohana above what their opinions are. It seems like a shell of itself to me.
