It felt like a “6” when we were there on the 28th.
This post by Savannah Sanders contains a number of the reasons I will (probably) never go on a cruise. Small pools, waits for elevators, etc… I don’t want to deal with that on my vacation.
Really interesting stuff. I’m not surprised at all that the Mine Train is pretty much a “no go” for day-of Fastpass+ on nearly all days, but I was surprised you can get Toy Story Midway Mania on days with crowd levels 8 and below.
This is really cool. I’m happy to see Animal Kingdom evolving like this.
I am still really bummed that Elyssa and I won’t be there for this.
This *TouringPlans* article from Trista VanderVoord is amazing. As a chronic “over packer”, I cannot believe how much she fits into her bags.
Just in case anyone is going during that time.
Over at *TouringPlans.com*, Len Testa has posted a list of all that has changed in the 2014 Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World. As you might expect, there is a ton. Here are some highlights:
* A new, detailed section on Disney’s new RFID-enabled MagicBand wristbands, used for admission media and payments, including how RFID technology works and the privacy implications of in-park location tracking.
* A new, detailed section on FastPass+, the update to Disney’s Fastpass ride reservation system, including what’s the same and what’s going to be different. How FastPass+ will affect your waits in line, and tips on which attractions will most benefit from FastPass+.
> …
* The latest on how Disney classifies room views at the Yacht Club and BoardWalk resorts.
> …
* Updated driving directions, including best exits, based on latest construction for I-10, I-75,and I-4.
> …
* A description of Fastpass loopholes found at the Magic Kingdom, including which attractions participate and how to take advantage of them.
Like I said, that’s just some of the ones I am more interested in. There are a ton more.
Speaking of MyMagic+ and Fastpass+, *TouringPlans.com* has updated their software to indicate when you should or should not use Fastpass+ for certain attractions.
