I don't trust a website that claims to be the all knowing but has grammatical errors, spelling errors, and misused words.

If you use the app you can just scan the bar code.

He does now. I let him know.

Me thinks Gary is just throwing cards randomly at people and making up names and places.

There has been rumors about Norway at EPCOT getting a meet and greet for the new Disney characters from Frozen.
 
Starting in November, they will meet at Norway. It will be Ana and Elsa.
 
I have no idea who they are or anything about the movie, but they will start meeting sometime in November.

Its that time of year again. Use this thread to post your Halloween décor pictures.
 
I will start it off.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

One thing to note about all of this. Disney did work closely with organizations relating to disabilities to ensure this new system would meet the needs of those who would be using it. They took the advice and recommendations from them. It wasn't just a random thought by some Disney big wig. The system is designed to be flexible and work with the user rather than being a blanket policy. All CMs who are involved in the process received in depth training on the use and how to handle situations. DW was one of them.
 
All I say on the matter is, give it chance before striking it down. If the system truly does not meet your families needs, let Disney know so they can adjust it.

We got the pot stickers. I liked the pork ones better, but the chicken were still pretty good.
 

 

 

 

 
We got the garlic shrimp. It was good. Garlic was not too overpowering and added a nice flavor.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
We got the fritters and the orange dole whip with crème dele chocolate.
 
The fritters are awesome. I highly recommend them. Deep fried pineapple. The dole whip was strong and Im not a fan of chocolate and orange mixed.
 

 

 

We got the key lime wine. It was very good and tasted just like a key lime pie. We wanted to buy a bottle at the center, but they were all gone by the time we got there. The CM said they have been selling fast.
 

 

 
We got the lobster roll and bread pudding. The lobster roll was so so. The bread was stale and chewy. The mayo was not very tasty. We ended up eating the lobster out of it and feeding the braed to some ducks.
 
The bread pudding was very good. Tasted like French toast with cranberries on it. They gave you a healthy portion too.
 

 
and FYI, they opened some new restrooms in the American pavilion.
 

 
These are to the right of the pavilion where the garden used to be.
 

 
We got the ravioli. I was not a fan. Its a cream sauce this year as opposed to the beef sauce they had last year. DW liked it but she has an Italian background.
 

 

 

 
We got the apple strudel. It was good, but the same as every other year.
 

 

 

 

This is going to be more of an information report than a trip report.
 
I will post the menus with prices from each country represented and what we actually ate from there.
 

 
The cranberry bog is back this year.
 

 

 
We started by taking a right at World Showcase.
 

 
This is a new booth this year.
 

 
We tried the tart
 

 
It was good. It had a gooey center and you could really taste the whiskey.
 

 
We had the pork sliders here. They were better than last year. The spicy mayo was complimented by the sweet and sour.
 

 

 

 
We got the seared trout. It was kind of bland and not very much bacon. I was hoping for more of a maple flavor.
 

 

 
We got the fishermans pie and chilled irish coffee.
 
The fishermans pie was as good as years past. It seemed like they added more lobster and shrimp to the recipe. The Irish coffee was good, but a had a bite to it.
 

 
We also tried the mead. It was very harsh and not very flavorful. Had an earthly flavor with a bitter aftertaste.  
 

 

 

 
We got the waffle with chocolate. It was good and a nice change to the berry one.
 

 

 

 

 
We got the Teriyaki Chicken hand roll. It was very good. 
 

No offense to anyone who truly has a need for this service, but I fail to see how this is a punishment. Disney is still making accommodations to allow everyone access to the attractions. 
 
The new system is not just being implemented because of abuse. It is to make the park more efficient. Imagine this scenario. The posted wait time is 45 mins when you get in line. All of the sudden, 4 families arrive with a GAC and 6 family members each. Not to mention the FP returnees at the same time. Now the 45 mins you thought your were waiting suddenly becomes 65 mins and Disney has no control or foresight. With the new system, they can track this much better and make the experience better for everyone. 
 
Due to federal laws, Disney (a private company) cannot ask for proof of a medical condition. The state can get away with it as they are a government agency. If Disney starts requiring proof of disability, they could get into law suites for invasion of privacy and discrimination if they deny service if anyone does not want to divulge that information.
 
This is a true statement. You still get FP or FP+. So you could ride up to 7 rides in a day. 4 FP+ selections, plus the additional return times for the DAS system. That's more than an average guest would get. So you still make out better than everyone else. The only thing you loose with the new system is the front of the line privileges and the ability to ride over and over and over on any ride you want.
 
I for one think the new system is an improvement over the old system for both the guest and Disney. And yes, I do visit the park with my nephew who is disabled and confined to a wheelchair. So I am familiar with the difficulties associated with this. Will the system need tweeked, probably. But Disney Is on the right track. The ones who I have seen upset about the system seem to be bent on the fact that the unlimited FP they once had is gone and loose sight of the bigger picture that Disney is making the park equally accessible for everyone.

No worries. I can say there are enhancements coming and from what I know, they are pretty awesome. Once the green light is given, I will let everyone know about them.

I am not at liberty to talk about the future of photopass or photopass+ but enhancements are coming and will be made available in the near future. As releases are made public, I will update yall on them.

Ummm, this has been discussed on a couple of other threads and the system is not being done away with. It is being modified to prevent abuse of the system.
 
Before spreading this around, please read up on what it is and how it will benefit the guests.

They are heavy. But there is some extra padding on the inside to try to make em more comfy. The batteries do die, and they are kinda a pain in the arse to change. But nothing to discourage buying them.
 
One note, if they have not fixed the issue yet, the strap is not very sturdy. Ours broke on the first set we bought. They did replace them with no problem.
 
We had ours signed by the big cheese himself and his, girlfriend/fiancé/wife?.....

As of last time I worked, you still cannot use the Magic Bands as photopass cards. Its coming soon, but still not activated.
 
The new site is the biggest change, as well as the photo expiration as mentioned above. 45 days from date taken.
 
You can log in to the photopass site from your mydisneyexperience account.
 
There is a one time extension available for purchase, but can only be done once. Previous extensions could be used over and over.
 
The photo view is different on the new site and is laid out chronologically by when the photo was taken. 
 
You can still edit photos before ordering by adding borders and autographs.
 
As more info becomes available (more WILL come available) I will update everyone.

No. The old keys are deactivated and not associated to anything. But they are still on your account. Ony the current reservation medium works and its still only one account so even if all 10 were active, they all work as one. Does that make sense? So you still only get your 3 FPs like normal. You would need 10 different accounts with 10 different reservations and names to beat the system like you're thinking.

Thanks,
 
Carsland was my favorite area in CA. Maybe cause it was new and still had that new carsland smell. But they did a great job on the area.
 
World of Color was cool. You would have to see it a couple of times to fully appreciate it. There are allot of little details you miss if youre transfixed on the main show.
 
And every first night at the Fort calls for a GAG. Didn't want to break tradition. We haven't had a first night at the Fort in a while, so we seized the opportunity.

The original argument was are carriers bigger than DCL ships. The truth of the matter is, yes. They are wider and taller. So yes, the Dream is heavier and longer (by 20 some feet) but the carriers are wider and taller. You displayed information that only supported your side of the argument in an effort to influence the readers to believe you. I posted ALL of the information so they can make an educated decision.
 
and the width without the "flat top" is 134 ft at the waterline. Its in the post above. 3ft less than the dream.
 
For someone who doesn't read TRs you are making cameos all throughout this one.......
