It’s honestly less the planning aspect and more that we just had a random group of 4 people added to a vacation. Never met these people in my life but I’m gonna be hanging out with them non stop for a weekend.
Going to Anaheim on Sunday. Cars Land is just awesome during Xmas time, and it’s also Festival of Holidays with a bunch of good food and drinks at DCA.
More questions. What’s a good place to try to get a reservation only a couple weeks away (December 3rd) so assuming California Grill and Ohana are out
Use touring plans reservation finder. Nothing is off limits. Just need to be flexible. what are the ages of the people going?
Man this kicks ass. My oldest (almost 5) would lose his fucking shit. I think I gotta get out there next year.
In order of preference (assuming no parks) California grill Jiko Ohana Art smith homecoming Flying fish Yachtsman
depends on where you want to be on property and what kind of food you're looking for most of the nice hotels have a really good restaurant, and then swan & dolphin as well plus boathouse & homecoming at Springs
coronado now has gran destino which has Toledo on top https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/coronado-springs-resort/toledo/menus/ riviera, newer hotel, has Topolino's up top as well https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/riviera-resort/topolinos-terrace/menus/dinner/
pretty sure the old rumor was it would take over the back lot at hollywood studios before galaxy's edge concept was created
well the speed at which things are going at WDW these days, once they announce it, it will be at least 15 years.
For a normal vacation, I wouldn’t be *that* angry about it. But for Disney - which is so logistics heavy - it’s a complete nightmare. These people probably don’t know any better.
They’re more interested in these new lands at MK and DAK. They’re nervous about Epic Universe and that’s why they floated the blue sky shit at d23.
don't be too upset if you end up at PO. It's still a nice hotel. Are you at French Quarter or Riverside (aka old Dixie Landings)
Laughing at the audacity to raise ticket prices again another 12%. No doubt people will continue to pay, but hilarious none the less.
Already announced that it won’t. Imo this feels like them going for a cheap way to get a huge ship that is Europe only where it won’t be noticed that it’s missing a lot of the kid centric charm of the Disney ships.
Chapek was brought in to increase profits at the expense of customer satisfaction. He pissed off the customers and they lost money. He was an absolute disaster.
Trying to decide on the spring break vacation this year. Did DW last year and it was great. Only thing we’d be hyped about is the guardians ride but that’s not worth back to back trips. How’s avengers campus at DL? Isn’t one of the big rides/attractions not going to be ready by March next year? Might wait till 2024 to do DL.
he fucking sucks he's pure profit over everything else, which any CEO of disney will be but not to this level he has made sure to not re-hire tons of cast members, has made sure creatives did everything IP based and nothing new, he wants to make sure every guest is a high spender, and it goes on and on and if you ever heard him speak, he's legit like an animatronic
most people have said Chapek was terrible to the creatives (imagineering, feige, kennedy, etc) so I can't imagine he would touch those I think it's a) a morale thing for sure bc how much chapek sucked but b) to fix dissatisfaction with park guests bc that's a gigantic money maker
Good. Chapek took a huge problem with the parks’ affordability and amplified it. It’s beyond gross that lower and middle class families have been priced out.
I will say, I feel fairly confident Iger aint gonna fix that the day this company announces a price reduction is the day I die
What’s done is done, but I’m pretty confident that iger will do what it takes to make people feel like they get value out of these price increases. Though even just a $5 price cut would go a long way to build morale.
I’m the TMB poster boy for republican greed for some reason and I even think that what Chapek did was unbelievably gross. Disney is a company that should be affordable to all. They’d still make billions while staying true to that mission.
