Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 15, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2021 I’m recording a podcast about DVC tonight. A couple of owners and some considering it. I know so little about it, but If it’s informative I’ll let you know if DVC is of interest obviously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everest is one of my favourites. I remember going once and it was so quiet we literally rode 3 times in a row as there was no queue. The Mummy’s ok and I love the Rock’n’Rollercoaster but mainly because I love Aerosmith. Someone on a Facebook group the other day suggested turning it into a Bruce Springsteen coaster... no offence to Mulv but I’d never ride it again if they did that. My absolute favourite used to be The Hulk but something changed somewhere over the years and now it really batters my head. I had such a migraine after it one time that I’m afraid to ride it any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet Everest gives me an awful headache on the backwards part now when I always used to love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve nailed free dining every time since then. However with the current Disney stance of cutting every single perk renting points maybe the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BigJag Posted June 13, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted June 13, 2021 I've got similar vouchers from the yahoo bottles for Alton Towers. Would anyone like them? One of the lads at work gets the Sun. I'll see if he has the codes spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 6, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted July 6, 2021 So Disneyland Paris today announced The end of Fast Pass and the introduction Disney Premier Access a new service where you can pay for immediate access to an attraction for €8 to €15 per person depending on day/date. It’s not gone down well, but rumours are it will also be rolled out to WDW and DLR within the next 6-12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed the perfect blend of value and usefulness with FP and PP combined. I never knew anyone that bought the Ultimate FP because like Air Con in the UK, it’s only really useful about 3 weeks a year. Will be interesting to see if people do fork out for it. IF this was included for stays in club level or suites, I’d understand that, but I bet they won’t. Which also leads to what about those FP’s you got with those rooms. Will those be removed now? Also, they confirmed today park booking is here to stay and you can only book for 3 days at a time, unless your on-site or have a room/ticket package.

cobra_gordo Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Around $7k for 5 of us for two nights. Fuck that. It was always going to be expensive but I didn't think it would be that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted August 5, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted August 5, 2021 It's cruise prices without the sea sickness. It's too rich for my blood, considering you need to have a 10 day+ holiday booked around it as well. It just doesn't grab me at all based on the itinerary. I give it 5 years before it is turned into a Star Wars Hotel instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a purpose built "cruise ship" Not as big as an actual cruise ship, and doesn't look like one from the outside either. But essentially a cruise ship which doesn't leave land. It is built just behind the Star Wars section of the Theme Park. You will simulate flying up to it, and coming back down a few days later. But you are stuck in a big metal box for almost 3 days cosplaying as a character in Star Wars.
