I just make sure they are all on the ticket and just change up my band every day. I already have specific ones for specific parks (Donald Jedi retro band with the special lights and sounds still the best)

Don't things with MDE and the turnstiles get weird if you have too many bands linked to your account?

I think I remember someone saying that regarding the limited edition bands and special effects. If you have too many bands it takes to long to process and the effects don't get played. Maybe I'm crazy

HAIL TO THE VICTORS!
Yeah some of my family stay at the resort several times a year (marathons, spring breaks, school trips, etc) and they started to have issues with my cousin vanishing from their account and booking fastpasses. After talking with guest services it was due to the huge number of bands associated with the account. The removed a bunch and it worked again.

Anyone know what time the Rapunzel Floating Lanterns thing happens in MK? A friend is going down next week and wants to do it, but doesn’t know days/times.

You want to go at golden hour (aka civil twilight). After civil twilight the background is pretty dark and the photo isn't as nice.

Yeah, it'd be ideal around 8:00-8:30 this time of year depending on their shutter settings, but definitely don't wait till full dark.

My wife loves the game and takes it seriously as gently caress. She'll stand just outside and try to huckster people into playing if there aren't enough.

Oh I love the waiting area, more places should use that concept for waiting parties. I think the game use to be internet connected too, so people at home could play against park guests.

I don't like the exit of Star Tours. Lots of rides exit into the gift shop but Star Traders always feels super crowded and it's always an ordeal to get out.

I completely love Destiny because it completes the idea of Mission Space being a 90s space movie simulator.

Taking out Gary Sinese and making the CGI less lovely probably hurt that, though.

Fast Pass selection day is an exercise in taking your carefully crafted plans and completely rejiggering them at 7am to fit when you were actually able to get FPs for Flight of Passage.

I've done this enough times now that everything is good, but I can see it being awful for first timers.

There are plenty of Magicbands with graphics for reasonable prices (look at Disney’s online store for them) and also plenty of limited edition ones with...less reasonable prices.

They’ve basically stopped doing any Disney/ Star Wars crossover Merch so we’ll probably never see one ever again.

Look for limited edition bands (not limited release) in the shop parks app if you want one that makes special effects at touchpoints. The Donald Star Wars one is maybe the best one but you can’t get them anymore. Check out magicbandcollectors.com for videos of what all of them do at the touchpoints.

Do you guys know of any good youtube channels that do a lot of Disney park content that isn't either vlog style/personality driven or merchandise based? Talking more documentary or informational style. Or do you have any ideas for stuff that you'd like to see done in that vein? I've been wanting to do something like that for a while and looking for ideas.

Vlog style, no. I digest blogs as much as I can handle (some personalities grate on me like crazy), but a good vlog would definitely be interesting especially if you don't open up every video with something obnoxious "HEY WHATS UP YOUTUBE FAM TODAY WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT HAUNTED MANSION" *spooky sound effect*

I'd 100% sub.

I would love to see something like that. There's a lot of topics that can obviously be covered. I will say I am a fan of TimTracker but that's obviously personality based. He just seems like a good dude.

I ran into this guy's videos on accident while planning my trip. I don't watch vlog style content but I was looking for food reviews and stuff. I subsequently noticed him filming more content literally every day I was there, either at the parks or at Disney Springs. Dude gets around.

I really like TimTracker, but he’s not someone to watch if you don’t already know a decent amount about Disney and are trying to learn the ins and outs.

Definitely better for general entertainment.

Look up Martinsvids. He’s the definite documentary type guy for Disney vids.
