Lincoln posted:I imagine the prices are pretty much arbitrary. IIRC, the parks are more profitable than literally anything else that Disney does/sells, in both gross revenue and ROI. That's why I'm curious: now that a 1-day ticket has bumped up against the $100 ceiling, how quickly will they raise the price and top three figures? That's a very psychologically significant price point for the average consumer. From the ads I've seen they have been side stepping the one day price by showing the discounted price of a multidays ticket. I fear how much the price of food(including the beloved churro/dole whip) will cost soon since they hit the $99 price point and probably don't want to go above that.

Family is having a reunion in Disney and goodie, its scheduled the week of Star Wars Weekend opening and the temperature looks to be a cool 97 degrees with everyone packed liked sardines in the parks. Perhaps its time I buy my first pair of shorts.

Felt hotter than it was just looking at the visitors wearing their costumes for the 24hr thing; Stay hydrated people,. Also if you saw a green furry puppet around the park getting on rides, that was my nephew's doing.

Bravest folks were a Mr and Mrs Incredible in full latex outfits entering the park when the madness was starting around 12am. I wonder if there is a version of shellshock for CMs, as I saw a few thousand yard stares as I was leaving. Now off to the nerd hell scape that will be MGM(I will continue calling it that).

After reviewing my videos the people they got to be the faces for Cinderella' stepsisters deserve a medal for their acting. I'm talking A game Adventurers Club quality of comedy and entertainment. I don't think they even had visible handlers, they were taking care of the lines and cutters of said lines themselves. They even remembered my niece hours later when we passed by them.

Looks like I'm going back to the World for the Villains Unleashed event but this time I'm going to stay at an on-site hotel, would have been a god send for the 24hr event. If I'm already a magic band annual passholder are they going to send me another magic band for the hotel key?

Well it was my nephew's birthday money to do as he sees fit, and him choosing me as his first choice to tag along with him does tend to melt the heart a little. So his present from me is the ride, hotel, food and my grumblings of his horrible choices of spots for parades, shows and long lines.

demonR6 posted:I cannot imagine the misery of standing in this heat during or worse.. after one of our afternoon storms. The last time I was at the park after a moderate shower you could see the steam rising off the pavement and it was loving miserable. It wasn't peak summer either, I would end up going Wayne Brady on someone then. Its also fairly common to see people wearing their ponchos with their hood down after the rain has stopped, complaining how hot it is(Hint you are wearing a trash bag in high humidity). I remember a lady once almost to the point of fainting once while wearing her poncho after a hard and quick downpour, in line outside for Maelstorm. Cast members had to be called out to be a screen while they got her a wheelchair and medical service. I'll give Disney and Universal this, when someone is injured help comes in super quick, must be the panopticon of cameras.

Yo dawg I heard you like ticketed events. so we put a ticketed event in a ticketed event. So you can go to a ticketed event while in a ticketed event. Also after mulling it over the Villains Unleashed would get a 3 out of 5 for me. If you go by other people who went, I think I'm on the higher scale of scoring it. It was two steps forward one step back by Disney in general. While I enjoyed myself, I'd probably wait another two years before I even think to go again, if it continues on. Hopefully Disney will have solidified it's planning/organization and make it worthwhile experience and not have me doubting the use of my time and money.

I remember a tour that had you walking above(?) a set they made for a short film they made just for the park starring Bette Midler. I just don't remember where; was it by where the pirates experience is? Also looks like I'm going to be able to make it to the last day of maelstrom. Sadly the fast pass for the last couple of hours have run out. Guess I'll wait in line for the last few minutes before they cut the off.

demonR6 posted:Disney publishes a new version of Hollywood Studios map minus the Sorcerer Mickey hat. When questioned by the local news their reply is "We have no announcement to make at this time.." The cat is out of the bag. Might as well bulldoze the whole park and start over(except the Tower of Terror and Rockin' Rollercoaster section) if the hat is being removed as well. Then they finally have a chance to build a working theme park layout and not have to play Tetris on where to place new attractions in a forgotten dream of an idea of having a working studio in the middle of a theme park. I recently realized that I now prefer to visit Animal Kingdom more than MGM, don't know if that bad or good.

So how accurate are the weather reports for when you are actually in the parks, I mean the masses of people moving to and fro must have an impact in temperature? I ask because the family picked about one of the worst time to get together and go to the parks(both in crowds and weather), and it looks like cold weather(for Floridians) is predicted for next weekend. Seems like it won't break above low 60 and just go down after sundown. First time I have had to think about bring a jacket to the parks as I've never gone when its been cold and windy.

Ah crud, the person who was making fast passes for the group tommorrow, just told us that they mistakenly only did it for themselves. and when they try to copy over their fast pass to the rest of the group it won't let him get the same rides and times. Right now he's the only one with 7 dwarves on their band and there aren't anymore. From a preliminary google search, it seems the CM at the fastpass kiosks have the shadowrunner skills to copy it over fully to us, or is my group going to have to someone removed from their Christmas cards list and add a name to the book of grudges?

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:I spent the entire Festival of Fantasy parade just chilling in the new gardens in the hub, and it was like I had the place to myself, even though the streets were lined with people for the show and the park was packed. It's a nice little area that is just kind of relaxing I mean more along the line of what's traffic like for us cool guys trying to get to the other side of the park and squeeze in a couple of rides while you hippies lay in the grass and watch the pretty lights. Or when the first mass exodus starts and you got to grab your family by the arm or lose them(still looking for our uncle we lost in 03(he somehow ended up in tomorrowland) )as you'd make your way through the hub.

I am going back to SWW for more order requests and I will definitely be taking those specialty booze cocktails. Don't cry for me, I am the walking dead. Nephew wants to go, for one last ride(quoting to me Furious 7) before his graduation from HS and I couldn't refuse. I just plan to people watch during the 24hr event and witness the insanity, is the Space Mt arcade still closed? That was an area alot of people were taking their naps for last years 24hrs.

Well I felt(and still do) quite the fool on Saturday morning at the park; for some reason I thought the 24hr event started on Saturday and not the previous day, oops. At least my nephew got a laugh from my error, as he knew I was wrong during the whole planning period.

The babies left alone in the strollers by Splash would have been winners as well if it wasn't for security cockblocking my shot. Were people sleeping on the fireworks grass area now that they could? I want to say this weekend wasn't as bad as last year weather and crowd-wise but who keeps count. Also to add to my series of unfortunate events, I forgot to grab the Starbucks Disney mugs. Told myself I'd pick them up on the way out, but when one stays till closing time, the lizard part of your brain activates and seeks only the nearest bed.

demonR6 posted:Yes, there were quite a few people sleeping on the grass. One couple had bought one of those terribly expensive Disney blankets and was sleeping on it using terribly expensive character pillows as well. Random people sleeping along benches, it felt like being downtown only they were not bums and did not reek of alcohol. Wouldn't feel right to ask that of you. That and shipping would probably be bad for ceramic mugs; never shipped anything fragile before, always afraid they'd arrive as jigsaw puzzles.

Had to call my credit union today because they froze my card yesterday after several small charges in quick succession in a single day; drat you food and wine. Was only able to try out about half the countries before I got full and jumped over to MGM for Citizens of Hollywood show, best show in the park in my opinion. And here is the winner of that day's funniest citizen contest Betty Shambles, who made it to the finals by using candy as a bribe for a kid chosen from the audience to select his choice for finals.

Uncle went up and goofed hard. He thought his wife bought the memory maker, while she thought he bought it(i thought this only happened in movies) and when they came back to download it were they disappointed. Now they asked me, which I don't know the answer to, so I'm asking here; Can they get the pictures by buying the memory maker after the trip or is it only before?

Wasn't able to find any transcipts, but there are sites that can download the closed captioning for youtube videos for you. Only problem is you will have to delete the time stamps and correct the wrong words. Or maybe hire a mechanical turk to do the transcripts.
