News Round Up 2018

Are we sure this is spring break time? I went into this trip expecting bad crowds and have been very surprised at how not crowded it’s been. All Star Sports seems more crowded than the parks.

Well, by me Spring break is normally next week but this year is for the following week...

... and we lost the entire thing due to too many’s now days so it doesn’t matter anyway

Also not sure if I’ll stay at an All-Stars again. Nothing is wrong with it but there are just too many large groups. I got serenaded on a bus back tonight with a group singing Piano Man, then the main pool is just filled with high school aged kids going crazy. I’ve been spoiled with deluxe my last few trips.

Man, you are getting cranky in you old age!

Darn kids - pipe down and stay off my lawn!

This AP Animal Kingdom event is crazy

 

[jlundeen]

Looks like there's multiple events too according to ESPN Wide World of Sports so that could be why larger groups are there combined with spring break

This is what I'd like to research for next year....is there a site or sites I can check out that lists large school or sports groups or events scheduled for wdw trips? I know this is a favorite destination for HS bands, team competition events etc but how can I find out when?

Would love to stay deluxe every time, but it's just not possible each time. But, I've had trip staying at mods with HS groups too...

Yep my budget doesn’t allow for deluxe right now so I’ll make do with what I can.

I wonder if these will be for rent or purchase or both.

Based on how Florida real estate works, I feel like they will sell them to people who will turn around and rent them out.

So the Animal Kingdom Annual Passholder 20th anniversary merchandise event was crazy busy. They didn’t bring out all of their stock because they didn’t anticipate the crowds they got. I got one of the last Magicbands they had. I also bought a pin. Even Djuan Rivers was on hand.

You are a much earlier riser when on vacation! I'm not used to seeing posts from you this early.

Have a great day!

Tough life man...tough life.

From ride open to getting off it took me about 20 minutes rope dropping FoP.

I bet by the time you got off the wait was 2 hours already

Only staying until about 1PM. Then lunch at The Edison, and then maybe MK since they have EMH until 1AM.

I’m not used to these late night parks. I’m usually in bed by 9 for a runDisney event.

Bet your missing that inter-park bus transportation!

For sure! That’s one add on I really enjoyed.
