Thanks for the info Carol. They both seem to be about the same distance from the front. Do you have a preference between the two loops?

I’ll be arriving at the fort next Monday October 12 for one night. I reserved a tent/pop up site for the night. I’ll be arriving on DME by myself with just a tent and sleeping bag. As soon as I check in I’ll be setting up my tent and heading to Epcot and then dinner at DS. Early check out on the 13th and moving to beach club for a few nights with my family. so my questions are 1. Which loop and site would recommend for easy access to the buses, and comfort station. 2. Easy and quickest way to Epcot. I’m not familiar with the internal buses. 3. Does the fort offer

Wonder what a wrap does to a cars finish? if i was the dealer, and I could sell them with the wrap I would. I bet there a bunch of people that would that would top dollar for a Disney park’s original!

Just thought about this since the Minnie Vans were leased from Chevrolet and given back. Where do you think they will be sold at? ebay?

That SMB! we never used them. but always wanted to try it once as a novelty. i think part of the problem, for us at least, with them was it was easier and cheaper to get an uber or lyft. Since it’s usually just the three of us.

You just reminded me of something. A while back, when I was dealing with Disney about my AP, I asked a CM when they would be allowing APs to park hop again. He said when the government allowed them to. That the government said if an infected person goes into one park they only have to shut down that park. If they allowed that same person to park hop they would have to shut down two or more parks. I didn’t think much about it till now. If this is true. Why and if I read what you’re saying correctly, why is universal allowing park hopping but not Disney?

And why would it be a bad thing for Disney to lower its prices? Especially during this time of Disney cutting back on perks, entertainment, etc

Ok. Apparently they have let some employees go. But why did you choose to ignore the fact that Universal appears to be busier than Disneyworld? if people aren’t going to Disney because of covid19 , wouldn’t that mean they would be avoiding universal for the same reason But why does it seem universal’s numbers are better then Disney’s? Could it be lower ticket prices? Report says Universal Orlando attendance recovery better than Disney parks here’s a link to the story. https://blooloop.com/news/universal-orlando-attendance-recovery-higher-disney/ And why

Agree. But lower ticket prices could entice more people to come to Florida. There are a lot of people who are not afraid of traveling right now. look at universal studios right now. They aren’t letting off tens of thousands of employees Go and universal Hollywood is still closed. From what I read/heard they are staying pretty busy at universal. And the one thing they are doing that Disney isn’t is offering buy 2 days get 2 days passes. We are considering a trip to universal this thanksgiving and not Disney. For two reasons. 1. Our Disney APs expire 10/20/2020. And there’s no wa

I’ll say it again… Instead of cutting entertainment, employees, etc. cut the prices of their tickets. They’re giving us a subpar product and still charging the same price. It will bring more people to the parks and those people will spend money on meals and merchandise

Instead of cutting shows, employees, etc. why doesn’t disney cut their prices while they are giving us a sub-par experience.

Good idea. but the main reason we are going, besides I’m using our APs Before they expire, is for food& wine. I know the concert series is gone. It now are the food & wine booths! Same amount as last year?

I’ve ridden it twice but DD hasn’t. And she really wants to. both times I rode it I was there before park opening and my MDE locked up. the first time I was next to a CM and they reset my app and got me on last group. the next time I was at guest relations and told them what had happened before. I was talking with a supervisor and he told me to stay next to him when it opened up. when it opened up he had my phone and it locked up on him. So he went on his tablet and gave me a return time. I’m just glad it wasn’t my stupidity that caused it to lock up. Lol

We pulled the trigger and Disney wins again. because of their goofy, and IMHO unfair 3 park reservation limit for AP holders, we went ahead and booked beach club villas for 3 nights and 3 nights at bonnet creek. Now we can book a park reservation for our length of stay. As some of you know I hate planning dining reservations and FPs. And now I’m forced to plan even more of our vacation... Park Reservations!!! What is making it so hard is the fact we can’t park hop. We are not big park hoppers but during food & wine festival we normally go to a park in the morning and then

Close but your unfortunate situation is different then what I was asking. Would you have paid $200 to park your RV and stay at POR or would you pay $50 to stay at an offsite campground 2 miles from Epcot And if we didn’t have our condo we would stay on property. Like we’ve done many times before. Most visits we stay at bonnet creek and a Disney resort. but since this is an unplanned/budgeted trip, due to COVID-19 we have to stay in our condo.

After three hours and 45 minutes on hold and talking to Disney cast members they finally fixed her AP problems. Btw. The best CM ever! He knew his stuff and was just plain awesome! Our annual passes now expire October 20. my DD’’s fall break is the 14-20th of October. Since we have credit with Southwest airlines and our condo is free, sort of. We will be going October 14-19. Hopefully this COVID crap is gone or better by then. If not, and we have to cancel we would only lose the small refund we would have gotten if we canceled our APs. Now I just need to find someone

On hold for 2 hours and 5 minutes. The CM says they need to talk to a different department to fix my problem with our APs. She puts me on hold. 5 minutes later I pull into Lowe’s and get disconnected!!! I wish disney would call you back when Crap like that happens! for some reasons they show my pass expiring 5 days before the rest of the family’s passes. My pass expires 10/15/2020 and theirs 10/20/2020. We are discussing going to WDW for DD’s fall break. Instead of canceling and getting back a few bucks. Possible travel dates 10/15/2020-10/20/2020.

I’m on hold with WDW, agian, to find out what my refund would be if I canceled our APs. just curious has anyone canceled their passes? if so, what was the refund? Does anyone know how they are figuring refunds? just in case you’re curious I’ve now been waiting 55 minutes for someone to pick up. On a happy note I am enjoying the music they’re playing. Lol.

“All you have to do is stay on Disney property...” That’s a expensive way to get what I already paid for. We have a condo/timeshare at bonnet creek. And since we would have to make an unplanned trip to use our APs, before they expire, we have to use our condo. When we come at Christmas or do our May/June trip we stay 10-15+ days. And we stay half the time at bonnet creek and the other half at a WDW Resort. If you had to plan a last minute trip to use or lose your APs and they closed the Fort. would pay $200+/night to stay at a Disney hotel or $50/night to stay in a c

We are basically in the same boat as you are. I’m willing to bet we spend as much if not more money as a non annual pass Does. we eat at a park and/or DS everyday. we buy disney merchandise every trip. we buy snacks, drinks, beer, that’s for me. lol. it seems like Disney thinks all AP holders only come for a day or two at a time and are locals. or live within a short drive of wdw. And I’m sure most AP holders fit into that category. But what about us that don’t?? What about us out of staters that have kids in school and have to plan their trips so they c

$10 for a wagyu burger is a great deal. looks awesome

I must have missed the pet were he visited a park.

What was the point of this person story?

Beautiful!!!

Lol!
