Hi – I’m a new resident to FL and I just purchased the Pixie Dust annual pass. I’m looking forward to upgrading it to a pass that allows visits on the weekends. Do you know when they will reopen sales for the rest of the pass types?
I appreciate your help 🙂
Many things have changed with the parks and perks and for someone like ourselves it is very apparent. I preach all the time it is a bad business model to make cut backs to save money but instead make improvements to cover cost. This is the difference between someone who knows business and doesn’t! When a business starts the question is “What can we offer to make money” when a business fails it’s always “What can we cut back on”. This is a LOOSER MENTALITY!!!! Disney needs to purge it’s leaders and bring in talent with the imagination to bring the magic!!! On top of all that as far as Covid is concerned you have to do whatever for customers and if it is making them feel safe by telling them to put there mask on and not pushing them all up into a crowd on the ride lines THEN DO IT!!!!!! We the smart people know numbers go down when mask are on and we also know just because your outside when your in a crowd the spread is there!! Disney is lacking on giving a sh@# about the guest! This lack of concern is seen in the lack of cleaning, the fewer employees telling people to put mask on and no mask anymore just because your outside. I also caught Covid at Disney and I know why!!!!
First of all, I love your Blog! Until Covid, we’ve gone to Disney World at least once a year (always staying on-site) for the last 25 years, and I still learn a lot from you!
One question I’m having trouble getting answered is about theme park parking, if you’re staying at one of the Disney Springs hotels that are labeled as being an “Official Disney World Hotel”. We’re considering it for our next trip, but I can’t find out anywhere if those hotels qualify for free theme park parking, as the official Disney resorts do. Any idea?
Thanks,
Heather

Just want to take a moment to thank you for the amazing amount of time and work you and Sarah put into all of this. We are visiting Disney World for the first (and possibly only) time in March 2022. I’m a very savvy Disneyland visitor (my brother is in the band there, so we visit A LOT), but DW was overwhelming when I started planning. I like to know as much as possible about everything that will help us get the most out of our park and dining time, and your pieces have been just the ticket. And I feel much better about Genie+ since you have recently been equating it to MaxPass – a system I have down like you wouldn’t believe. Sad it’s going away.
Anyway, just know that I am truly grateful for all of your advice, your sense of humor and your easy-to-understand directions with screenshots. I’m so excited and feel so much better about everything. YOU have truly given me a magical start to our visit.
Tom … Your posts do not appear to be dated. Is there a way to know when the post occurred? Many thank.
