THIS! I know Disney is a kid place, and I have kids who are VERY exuberant (or were. They are teens now.) But even this trip, I enforced low voices/whispering in hallways and quiet in the room. I never mind when I hear rowdy kids and parents who are at least trying to make them aware of the...

The husband was cursing his wife out SO badly (screaming at max volume...we're talking about a legit domestic disturbance) that I ALMOST left a note on the door telling her she should leave him.

We depart today after 11 nights. I have never noticed sound from the rooms next to us until this stay, but it ws hard to avoid this time. I'm curious to know your thoughts on soundproofing! (I know it varies and depends on neighbors, but still a good ask.) Polynesian Villas (studio) - We...

I had no idea such things existed! Thanks!

Anyone here now that wants about half a case of Kirkland water bottles? I accidentally ordered two cases instead of one, and we are switching to Boardwalk tomorrow. I have an empty suitcase they can go in but that just seems like disaster waiting to happen.

Update: I am not at the WL getting my bison burger because a massive storm/tornado warning hit. :) Heavy rains just stopped but I had a microwave popcorn and lost all motivation to leave the room. This. This happened to us more than once as well. The system can be rather glitchy, and I...

Okay, back to vacation! Going to go check out the bison burger at WL! I will absolutely flesh out the details of my experience more later!

Yes, and I definitely won't speak to the experience of folks who are here when it is crowded. We never come during peak seasons and we hit each park on the days it is expected to be the least crowded. This app is going to be/has certainly been a very different experience for those who have...

I'm probaby not being clear. We definitely refreshed, but these were not cancellations. We would see nothing for 3-4 hours at all, and then a very short time later there were slots for every hour of the day. Very frequently, the app showed absolutely nothing available for any ride for any hour...

In terms of user experience, there is virtually nothing differentiating the three pieces. (My husband is a ux design consultant and we've talked about this a great deal. They're all intertwined in the tech, all a part of the same app. They should work in harmony. They don't always do that.)...

I'm aware I could have skipped it, but it is incredibly glitchy. It will say one moment (noon, for example) that the next available LL for a ride is at, say, 3:05pm, and then after you book it and go about your day and check back to look at other things, you will see that that very ride has...

I will definitely share in a thoughtful, detailed post when I get back home early next week. To those going now, PLAN to use it or PLAN to not use it, and STICK TO THE PLAN. Individual LL is actually super useful and can end up being a greater value than Genie+.

Yup, we've skipped it the last few days. I will reiterate that one should absolutely resist the temptation to buy it on a whim when it seems your park day is not going efficiently. Planning is essential.

I will definitely share as much as I can when I get back from my trip next week! I bought it impulsively. That is the FIRST big no-no. PLAN to buy it. Don't buy it in a moment of feeling your day is not efficient enough. Disney will NOT refund a Genie+ purchase, even if the app is glitchy or...

Plan very carefully if you plan to use it. Read everything you can. It sucked to pay to be a beta tester by visiting in the first week, but lesson learned. Listen to those who are willing to share their experiences in depth on here. They are doing a really wonderful service to the...

From the looks of the Lines app, it seems like crowds are lower today than the last week or so. It really did seem like the crowds showed up the minute Genie's launch was announced. Seemed to make sense that locals would get in all the pre-Genie ride time they could. I'm expecting things to...

Don't beat yourself up. There is rampant ableism on this forum, and your circumstances warrant being protective of yourself and your children. It's the very reason that ECV misuse is toxic to those whose lives are greatly improved by them. Your post is a good reminder to us all to not make...

A thread like this comes up every year. We've learned to never do F&W on the weekends (or if we do, only between 11am and 1pm. No Thursday nights, either. You aren't going to find many drunk locals wasted at Epcot at 11 on a Tuesday, but maybe some at 7pm on a Tuesday.

I wonder if the discrepancy with the crowd calendar on TP is that locals are getting their visits in before Genie + starts.

Touring plans has dropped almost all of the rest of October to 1s. Can anyone there now confirm that we're talking about real 1s? Days that were listed as 5s and 6s in the last week of October are now all 1s. I'm semi excited but also a bit concerned that Disney will understaff even more.
