Disneyland is in California. Disney World is an entirely different entity in Orlando. So I guess good job for this lady for outing herself as a conservative social media plant, or simply a dumb cultist too stupid to know where she is

I believe that at least people living in central Florida should know that it's not Disneyland.

I’m looking at booking a 4-5 day trip to WDW next spring and oh boy there is an awful lot to take in. We’ll be traveling with a then-4 and 2 year old, so I may splurge on a hotel with monorail access due to the sheer desire for convenience. I figure we’ll approach it like our successful recent (and only) trip to visit family in NYC- low amounts of scheduling, mostly simple attractions, ample snacks. That said, it’s tough to get a handle on what we ‘need’ to do- I don’t want to be stuck in multiple long lines, I do want to have some decent meals, and I have no idea how to spend ‘travel’ half days near the parks. Also, do they release hotel booking dates on a rolling schedule or in chunks? I’d like to book early but the dates I’m probably going for aren’t available yet.

Room only reservations can be made 499 days in advance, but packages are released typically in summer the year before. If you're open to working with a travel agent, I'd be happy to help.

BadSamaritan posted:I have no idea how to spend ‘travel’ half days near the parks. I will say, when I went last year with kids aged 7, 9, 11, and 13, the half day getting there was basically a write-off. I'm sure it didn't help that we hit Epcot first, but between the travel and not having adjusted to the heat yet there was no getting them to want to do anything other than eat and go swimming at the hotel. I also highly recommend expecting to take a mid-day break. We would hit the park at open and then head back to the resort around 1pm. The kids would swim in the pool for a bit while the adults lounged or napped, and then we'd head back around 3 or 4. That seemed to keep them and us much happier and sort of helped us survive through the hottest part of the day. My wife almost committed multiple homicides when we were in Magic Kingdom and the kids were asking about when they could go back to the hotel to swim.

Prioritizing naps/quiet time is a big part of why we’re looking to spend the money on a convenient resort hotel. And yeah, I bet the kids would be entirely happy with the pool and a playground. Braksgirl posted:Room only reservations can be made 499 days in advance, but packages are released typically in summer the year before. Thanks! We’re still in the initial stages of planning, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind. Traditionally I’ve always done DIY adult vacations, but it seems like there’s minimal downside to using an agent for something like a Disney trip. Should I pm you if/when I’d like to move forward?

Disney has been trying its hardest to make people stop going to the parks by treating its fans worse and worse. I'm curious what DeSantis's end game is because he isn't going to discourage his supporters from going to the parks any better than genie+, higher ticket prices, and nickel and diming can manage. Disney fans will always go to the parks. Even the most die hard Maga don't tread on me support the troops fuckwad can't give up the mouse drug if they are already hooked, DeSantis and Florida Republicans be damned.

They already weren't requiring masks indoors, when I was there in February it seemed pretty silly that they required masks on buses but not when you're crammed into a line for an hour inside. It's like having a small designated "no peeing" zone in the pool. It's just a reality that risk of COVID exposure is going to be a thing for everything you do in public for the foreseeable future

Get vaccinated like you do with everything else in life. There will never be COVID Zero and never was going to be from the moment it started. We have a free and extremely effective vaccine and excellent treatment, and it works on immunocompromised people extremely well too!

The vaccine isn't really extremely effective anymore (since it won't prevent you from catching COVID) unless you hope to just survive. 30% of COVID patients have long COVID, mild COVID can cause permanent brain damage, and there aren't really any "excellent" treatments. Any way you look at it, ending masking during a pandemic of an airborne illness is negligent. Especially without notice to people currently visiting.

Most "Long COVID" symptoms match any symptom of serious illness, along with general anxiety and other mental health issues, and nobody can actually say you're going to die of a stroke in 30 years because of it. If you can't enter a building maskless without dying in the spring of 2022, even when vaccinated, you probably couldn't do it ever. I'm tired of catering to doomers who love pre-prints, especially on a forum where we've had goons declaring their plans to suicide because they got an asymptomatic case.

I recently relocated to the LA area got Magic Keys for Disneyland. I never really cared for anything disney and thought it would just be a nice place to go and be outdoors and keep the kids entertained, since we're still not doing much indoors. I didn't expect to be too impressed but my wife is from this area and has a lot of happy memories so I said whatever let's do it. I love it. The first time we went was in January and I think we've gone every week since then. I think it's fantastic! Recently my behavior has become even more disturbing - at night I watch YouTube videos from channels that do daily DL/DCA updates. Six months ago I didn't know the difference between Disneyland and Walt Disney World or what even goes on in either of them, and now I have 4 park reservations coming up in the next month. Anyway all those yt channels and bloggers and people in the subreddits are often FURIOUS and DISMAYED about how terrible the Disney parks have been lately under the current leadership. Apparently the quality has taken a major dip and the experience is barely worth it anymore. I'm wondering if that's true or if that's something people have always complained about. Kind of like how everyone in New York insists that the city's changed for the worse and become less cool, and the last time it was cool always just happens to be right when they moved there. I can imagine some Disney psycho doing the same thing and thinking that normal progress is killing the spirit of their perfect personal theme park. On the other hand, it does seem like the new CEO is alienating lots of people internally, but I can't be sure how much that could already influence a visitors experience at the parks. So am I just ignorant of how good it really used to be and foolishly lapping up a strip-mined product, or is the "disney is OVER" thing just overdramatic online dorks? I know this is the WDW thread but I've seen it said about the experience in both CA and FL so thought it would be worth seeing what you all think.

My thoughts on the difference between 2014 and 2022 are posted above, so I think that it's true in broad terms for WDW. The main thing to remember is that a lot of the people who care enough to "make content" about Disney are both desperate for clicks and also prone to over-reaction. Just take a look at any random AP holder Facebook page to see the kinds of meltdowns people have over the littlest things.

The gaslighting and falsehoods, especially from people in positions of power (like the CDC) is the problem. The vaccine is not a cure all, and pretending like its the only way out of the pandemic is dishonest. People don't disable the brakes on their cars because they have airbags. Wearing a mask harms nobody.

If you can't enter a building unmasked without killing yourself in the spring of 2022, even vaccinated, wear a mask or stay home. I really do not give a poo poo anymore.

What is wrong with you losers. First off, someone else wearing a mask is for my own protection and not just their own since it stops their spittle from even making it to me. Secondly, other people should be able to enjoy the world without fear of dying because of everyone else’s uncaring attitude about the worst pandemic in the world since WWI. And thirdly, people aren’t just wearing masks to avoid getting themselves sick, but also friends and family members who might be more vulnerable. Some real loving Scrooge assholes on this forum. “Well if you’re gonna die, go ahead and do it.”

We're planning a trip for roughly a month from now. We already have our Disney World tickets bought and days reserved... I'm really hoping they start selling annual passes soon and we can upgrade. We have a day planned at Busch Gardens, but we want to leave it unbooked until as late as possible so we can pull an audible if need be and change days around. Is Busch Gardens filling up and need to be pre-booked like Disney, or is that one we can do day-of?

The "what if" scenario, and then it occurred to me that the state of Florida would have to assume all the costs of maintaining the infrastructure of an area approximately the size of San Francisco.
