@RJDittmer @magicnextdoor_ With the exception of a few high demand restaurants that’s really not that hard most of the time.

@magicnextdoor_ @roccopumpkin There are a huge number of people that feel resort guests should be able to get dining reservations at the resort they’re staying at. Good luck with that though.
English
The upcoming changes to Disney’s transportation shows the divide between locals that actually stay on property and are capable of following the rules and your locals who think Disney is just an extension of their backyard and they should be able to free roam whenever they want.
English
@CodeBrain5 @magicnextdoor_ Exactly. I’m fine with them restricting bus access at Disney Springs. It was getting out of hand and needed to be addressed. But it’s not fair to claim people visiting resorts were rule breakers. In fact it’s flat out false.
English
@magicnextdoor_ @roccopumpkin Disney did tell them they could visit without any reservations and come from Disney Springs on a bus. It’s fine that they are changing it, just a matter of fact that they used to allow it and encourage it.

@magicnextdoor_ Again. It was never against any rule to visit a resort without a reservation. And for decades now Disney itself has encouraged and enabled visitors to the resorts. Not all dining locations take reservations. So do not sit here and try to make those people out to be rule breakers.
English
@roccopumpkin Resorts are meant for resort guests, not the general public. The resorts are also meant for guests with dining reservations or other paid experiences happening at that resort, not the general public.
English
@SVAlwaysHome @ThemeParkScout Most resorts will not allow guests to park there without a confirmed resort or dining reservations. Without either security will usually turn guests away and previously directed them to park at Disney Springs and use Disney transportation.
English
@roccopumpkin @ThemeParkScout But, if they drove to the Springs, they can drive to the resort they want to go to. You don't have to pay to park at a resort if you are eating there. That's what we do. If we are at a park, want to eat at a resort, and, then go back to our resort, bus will take you.
English
Leadership at places like Kona, Steakhouse 71, or any other smaller restaurant are going to see their reservations cancelations go up. I already know a lot of places have 100+ cancellations per day as it currently is, this change would make it worse
BYU Florida 🐆⚔️@BYUFlorida
@tori_ever_after Make a dining reservation at any of the monorail resort loop hotels or park at the TTC if you an AP. That’s what we do. We never use disney springs and resort hop all the time
English
@SVAlwaysHome @ThemeParkScout While some abuse the situation and park at Springs to go to parks without parking fees. Many park at springs to access resort dining locations that don’t take reservations such as Three Bridges, Geyser Point, River Roost, Scat Cats, Trader Sam’s… etc.
English
@roccopumpkin @ThemeParkScout I wonder how many that it will effect. Do people drive to WDW, park at the springs and then have a resort dinner reservation? Or, do they just go to a park, go back to the springs, and, go back to their home/resort off property?

this happened in the late 80’s early 90’s
before the internet and cell phone cameras . i don’t think it even made the papers. it would probably be in the internal paper archives before the internet.
you don’t have to believe me. I’ve known this story for many years. The guy is almost 50 years old now.

No pavilion has ever “burned down” in Epcot. What are you actually talking about?
skatemom@TheHauntedSiren
@magicnextdoor_ I met a kid who burned down a pavilion at world showcase with a matchbook like this and was banned for years. He’s probably the reason they stopped giving them out
English
English
@GreenCheetah99 Sure. But no doubt you understand what with 80,000 cast members not everyone is going to do what they should when they should.
English
@roccopumpkin Well they need to figure something out then because that should not be happening
English
Yet people have tried to tell me that Disney doesn’t inflate wait times
RandomDisneyDude@RandmDisneyDude
Alien Swirling Saucers…. Posted wait time yet the queue is completely empty 😂😂
English
@GreenCheetah99 No this is clearly failing to update. That’s exactly what it is.
At one time the queue was longer and they were posting 35. Then as the attraction got slower and the queue cleared out the wait time was not updated to reflect that.
English
@roccopumpkin That’s not failing to update, it’s nowhere near 35
English
@UncleWalt1971 This is not true. There are 11 full service restaurants inside Epcot that are not owned or operated by Disney itself.
English
@Zacwithanh2018 @Jeff_in_3D The box is clearly damaged. The box is part of the product. It’s not up to you or the retailer to determine how the consumer wants to enjoy a purchase.
English
@Jeff_in_3D That’s wild because it seems like not only was his set not damaged, but it wasn’t stolen
English
I understand the waste reduction angle but this growing trend of product getting shipped open like this instead of in a nondescript box is not only fundamentally damaging to the product itself but it is a MAGNET for theft because YOU CAN JUST SEE WHAT IT IS
Jack J@Jack_Frodo
target didn’t give a single fuck 😭
English
@petthegeese @coolpurple360 How does that make this ok?
Anyone defending Target here is ridiculous.
English
We got straight up nimrods in these comments. Let’s ignore the damage real quick, u know how easy it is for someone to just straight up steal this without it being in a box
Building My LEGOs@BuildingMyLEGOs
Hey @Target @AskTarget this is unacceptable
English
@EricFrandemo @HulinaVeikko @Jack_Frodo That’s 100% false. Even Target itself would not consider that product suitable for sale in store regardless of the condition of the product inside.
English
@HulinaVeikko @Jack_Frodo Actually wrong. In retail, any box is considered the packaging. As long as the product is safe and sound the product is fine for sale.
English
target didn’t give a single fuck 😭
Building My LEGOs@BuildingMyLEGOs
Hey @Target @AskTarget this is unacceptable
English
@EricFrandemo @its_lethal_v @Jack_Frodo Nothing about this is acceptable. Consumers have a right to expect their purchased products including their packaging to arrive in good condition.
English
@its_lethal_v @Jack_Frodo Stfu. I’ve worked in Retail 20 plus years. It’s more than acceptable. Especially if he ordered via ship to home. If this guy wanted a mint box he would have gone to a collector store.
English
@jas_cant_hang @JudyWinslow_fm That’s objectively false because the entire plan for the area changed specifically because of Covid and Chapek.
English
@JudyWinslow_fm Nah tbh I think it would have mostly still much come out the same regardless of Covid or Chapek. The only thing I disagree with is faulting WDI because they’re not the ones writing the check.
English
Considering that was done during the COVID cutbacks in the chapek era and we’ve gotten quality redos like Test track, CBJ, Animation courtyard, Fantasmic and Mermaid since then i think you can….
Jon Charles@JonCharlesLBV
Tell me with a straight face that current “Imagineers” and company leadership are capable of replacing show scenes in Carousel of Progress with quality work… You can’t…

@KittensSuddenly @TheEXECUTlONER_ @CheriWaller1 And in the case of Flight of passage the fall could be as much as 4 stories.
English
@roccopumpkin @TheEXECUTlONER_ @CheriWaller1 Some of those 3D rides are truly trashing too. Would suck to get tangled in the machinery below even if the fall isn’t far.
English
@TheEXECUTlONER_ @CheriWaller1 If not properly restrained you could be just as injured as on a roller coaster. You are not sitting in a stationary seat on the ground.
English
@CheriWaller1 It’s a 3D ride. A real rollercoaster- I agree
