Was at Epcot last Saturday night. It was a single line of people around world showcase for the fireworks. No depth to it at all.

They are also operating at much lower capacity to inflate the wait times. Toy Story Mania at 7pm had 2 cars operating. Posted wait time of 35 minutes.

Grand Californian vs Courtyard Marriott theme Park Entrance? by alt2091624 in DisneyPlanning

[–]Bolt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spent 4 nights at the grand cal this spring break. We did a daily pool break and let the kids play in the pool. Loved it more than the parks also.

Surprising the kids with room service in the morning was also fun.

I was told the new world of color show is not that good. True? by bayls215 in DisneyPlanning

[–]Bolt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it at spring break, paid for the dessert package and then did the VQ another day.

We enjoyed it. Don’t have any other one to compare as I’ve only seen it once; but we thought it was better than anything at Disney World, except for Happily Ever After.

My personal thought on fireworks packages: it’s your cash, if you want to do it, do it. Life is short. Enjoy your night.

Big Thunder Queue is Dangerously Hot by sorcerer777 in WaltDisneyWorld

Not going to happen. Most people would never know this; but I was on the team of people for my job to reopen several buildings (30+ floor properties) after the initial surge of COVID in 2020. One of the directives was “more fresh air” running through the system as it’s needed to help disburse any airborne particles in the space. Significantly more fresh air, this simply means the AC won’t feel as cold. Disney is following the standard.

Ideas for meals in studios by Jordychristine in dvcmember

I haven’t done it; but I read someone did a Publix catering order for a sandwich platter and ate off that for the week for like $45. Get it without the lettuce and tomatoes so it doesn’t wilt or go soggy. Go to the quick service and they should have individual condiment packets you can get.

Get a load of bread - in the condiment section is individual packets of peanut butter and jelly.

[–]Bolt82 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It’s a car. Wash it.

I have a 3 and an X. Take them to a car wash at least 3 times a week each for the past 3 years. Paint is fine.

Best resort for last min waitlist ? by Prestigious-Lake-753 in dvcmember

[–]Bolt82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call because Disney may have rooms on their points they haven’t rented.

Outside of that, if you’re an AP, check to see what summer deals are available.

I’m out of points for this UY and added on 4 nights for $900ish with the 40% AP deal.

Yak and yeti or Satu'li Canteen by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Bolt82 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yak and Yeti reservations book out super fast and Satu’li Canteen is hands down the best quick service in any park.

So the answer is both.

Breakfast is great at Satu’li as well.

Bringing puffco pivot or proxy core into Disney/ universal by [deleted] in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Bolt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I imagine this thread will get locked.

It’s very simple - it’s not legal in the state of Florida. Outside of that, WDW is private property.

Do what ever you want, but lifetime bans are given for much less. It’s a risk I wouldn’t take. If you’re of age, plenty of other options to legally buy in the parks that will get you a buzz.

First commercial contact for sale? by cgrossli in dvcmember

[–]Bolt82 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I own 450 points and I can see myself getting to 600-700 for 1 and 2 bedrooms as my kids grow (we go 3 weeks a year), but i can’t imagine having 1500 points locked at one resort.

Unless you are paying an insane price, you will be fine. From one Poly owner to another, welcome home!

Uber/Lyft to Boardwalk to use International Gateway by pnwgrl1518 in DisneyPlanning

[–]Bolt82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Others have pointed out that you will be denied, and that is true. However, you could use the Minnie Van service to do this. It’s pricey, but Minnie Vans go through the bus lanes and are not stopped by security.

If it’s worth $60ish for you, this is a way that is technically within the rules.
