With the state of the world and the tariffs coming, would Disney be raising their food prices soon? I know the dining plan doesn’t save you money so we were not planning on buying it. But now thinking it might be smart to buy it now in case of rising food costs, thoughts?

My vote goes to The Haunted Mansion.

Took my three girls to Disney yesterday (Friday.) Wasn’t able to get reservations for them ahead of time. I walked up around 9:30am and spoke to the nice girl working outside the boutique - I said “I know you book up months ahead but I thought I would check just in case”. We got walk up appointments on the spot right then!! My girls were absolutely thrilled and it really made the trip for them so magical. Just wanted to post and let you know it can happen!

Stupid question lol past 2 times I've been to Disney World (1 during pandemic, 1 a little before pandemic) dining reservations were so hard and rare, everything filled up so fast. I'm planning a last minute trip now, and I expected reservations to be troublesome because again, it's last minute and past opening reservation window. To my surprise, there's so much availability. What happened recently?

And please don't respond "because no one wants to go anymore" and "attendance is low" - we all know it's still stupid silly packed lol

We are planning a trip in October to WDW. Looking to hear everyone's favorite cocktails offered around the different Disney World properties at that time. We will have a day for Disney Springs and resort hopping so it's not limited to Parks only 😀.

Do you have any thoughts or memories of past visits to the parks that you struggle to find evidence of, or struggle to prove that it actually happened? I'll give you my example.

I'm so sure that in the mid-late 1990s, inside the Mexican Pavilion at Epcot, there was a temporary dedication to Selena, who had passed away in 1995 and was/remains a major major influence to Mexican music and culture. I remember a boat full of flowers saying "Viva Selena" towards the end of the Rio Del Tiempo ride, but I cannot find any photographic or video evidence of this boat actually existing, so I'm conflicted about its actual existence to this day.

Anybody else have these kinds of potential false memories?

Employ a cast member that looks like Walt. Have him walk around the park and interact with guests like Mickey and the other characters do.

Hoping someone can help me out

We are planning to stay at a Disney hotel for 8 nights and get a 7 day park hopper pass. Will the pass start on our check in day or the day after?

Or can we choose when to use it?

We are planning to go to a water park on our check in day then use our park hopper pass for the next 7 days in the parks.

Is this ok?

Just saw that Star Tours in Tokyo Disneyland is getting a 'new character and planet' starting April 8th. Does anyone have any info on this? Heard any gossip?

Star Wars Celebration (the official star wars convention) is happening just outside Tokyo later that month, 18th-20th. Due to it starting April 8th and lasting until June though it's hard to say if those two things are related.

we are looking for out first disney experience, we are based in the UK have 2 kids between 9 and 13 and are trying to weigh up going all out to disneyworld Orlando vs Disneland Paris we are not a major rollercoaster family (not done UK themeparks, but would still go on rides) but we do love star wars so is it work paying 4x + to get to the USA and do disneyworld + Universal as the once in a lifetime family holiday vs going to Paris and being able to put the cash difference to one side for another holiday if the starwars piece is a major focus?

Last week i spent what was probably my last day around this section of the park, whipped this up to commemorate. There's always been changes good and bad in the parks, and sometimes with time things turn out for the best. But I'm having a really difficult time seeing how removing this won't just turn the Magic Kingdom into a concrete maze of logos- guess we'll just have to see

Found in my parents loft, from a xmas trip to Disneyland Paris 2003!

I know it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea but it was such a positive outlook, or should I say, “in”look of the human spirit.

Back when Epcot was “yeah we accomplished all that but wait, we’ve only scratched the surface” vibes

I’m trying to find the butterscotch bread pudding recipe served at Boma. I chatted with guest services but I was told they don’t have recipes on file.

First and foremost, I know this isn’t the majority, and its probably just a very loud minority, most DL frequenters I’ve met are generally nice but it’s happened to me a fair amount of times and I feel like talking about it.

Why do some people take it as a personal insult when I tell them I prefer Disney World over Disneyland? I could be saying something as simple as “Disney World is the park I grew up with so its just my personal favorite” or something like “I enjoy both but this particular attraction I prefer at WDW” and I swear, someone will always come and say “But Disneyland is the og!!!”……..Ok?!?! I know its the original but that doesn’t change the fact that I still prefer WDW both overall since its my most frequented resort and because there are specific attractions I prefer over there than at DL (sidenote, but in general the whole “its Walt’s vision” logic doesn’t always apply the way some people think it does. Parks aside, people need to realize if the man was alive today, we wouldn’t have alot of the beloved movies we have now because I doubt he would have approved of some of them). But people react to my opinion as if I personally insulted them and their love of Disneyland. I went to Disneyland circa 2015 and I genuinely had a great time, I would genuinely love to go again when I get the chance to go back to California. And yes, I agree there are certain things DL does better than WDW, but that doesn’t make WDW being my favorite any less valid.

In fact, while WDW is my favorite resort overall, I don’t think there is such a thing as a “perfect Disney park”. I went to Disneyland Paris this summer, and I genuinely think there are some things they do better than either of the USA parks, but there are things I still prefer about the USA parks over Paris. I haven’t gone to any of the Asian parks yet, but I wanna go to see those experiences as well. No Disney park is perfect. They each have their ups and downs, and everyone is valid on their opinions regarding what their favorite park is. I’m saying this because I’ve had plenty of interactions with international fans whose main parks are the ones outside the States, and not a single time have I had one of them try to disrespect or invalidate my opinion about my favorite park. Again, not all Disneyland locals are like this and I’m aware its just a loud minority, but some Disneylanders seem to have this weird sense of superiority all because their favorite park is the original (if you’re not one of them, then obviously I’m not talking about you)

Sorry for the long post but I just needed to rant. Idk if maybe I’ve just been unlucky in encountering this many bad apples or if thats just how some people are but yeah. I’m genuinely curious to get ya’ll thoughts on this matter

We’re staying at the Cabins in Fort Wilderness and love this art. We can’t figure out these 2 characters- figured I’d ask the experts…
