    Jambo! The newest AKL Information thread

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place: We are using the meal plan for our meals in the park but want to try to use a snack credit for breakfast at The Mara. What would be the best "filling" snack credit breakfast items like a large muffin or the like? I've seen several pictures of the menus and...

    News Round Up 2017

    Hoping it's closer to Deus Ex, even though it was ridden with bugs. Tomb Raider was like one big quick-time event with intermissions in between the cutscenes.

    News Round Up 2017

    You can hear a bit of autotune in there to smooth out her voice and correct some pitches. I hope they ease up on that in the final product and show off her naturally good voice. Visually it looks to be beautiful.

    DW virgins, what do you do?

    I'm sure you've already done this, but ask them what sounds good to them. Just show them a map and have them pick some things out. Knowing they chose some things in any given park may add to their excitement of their chosen "thing." Also relay to them that the parks (namely Epcot) are a LOT...

    Critique my MK Touring Plan

    You mentioned this is for a co-worker? I would advise them to "scout out" what looks interesting to them that first night they are there. Also, since it is evening time, maybe recommend a couple of headliners to "try out" when the wait times are lower in the evening. Everything on there seems...

    boyfriend's first trip...my 30th

    Learn from my mistake: let him do what sounds fun to him but gently steer him away from the "less desirable" rides. Get some FP+ to the headliners, allow for some time to take in the sights and enjoy the environments. Don't go in with a plan to do "everything" because it will cause more stress...

    News Round Up 2017

    I really feel like it should be up to the consumer what they want. Some people will absolutely be willing to throw money into a fire just to be in a raffle to hear Mickey sneeze once through a walkey-talkey. Some people won't. If it doesn't impede on your experience (which it doesn't....yet....)...

    Upcharge Express Transportation

    So SOME upcharge things are ok? This is by no means required and from the sounds of it hinders nothing towards your experience. Some people want overpriced dessert and fireworks, some people want to get to parks quicker, some people want to poke around at stuff behind the scenes. Disney is just...

    Relocation of DisneyQuest games?

    This was our experience in June. Everything was "still there" but rides were broken or in very terrible repair since Disney won't cough up the money to fix anything.

    Magic Kingdom on a Sunday??

    This 100000 times. It's going to be crowded. You are going to wait in some kind of line somewhere. Go in knowing that and, with a pretty decent plan of attack, you will have a good time. (Also, refresh those extra fastpasses like a maniac. I had to refresh hundreds of times before I got a good...

    Quick Trip, need advice: Studios or AK?

    It really depends. There are a LOT of things to do at AK that are kid-friendly (dinoland area, safari, the shows, etc.) and a lot of interactive stuff like the adventures club. Would your kids be able to/be willing to ride scary rides like Tower of Terror and Rock'n Roller Coaster? How would...

    The Lion Guard

    I do remember they had a billboard type sign you passed by on the train ride to Rafiki's Planet Watch at AK. You might also check the "Shop Disney Parks" app to see for merch.

    Will Memory Maker photographers still take a picture with your own camera if you ask?

    Not really necessary, but setting the focus and mode to "auto" can help the picture come out better. A few we forgot to do that and they turned out too dark or too blurry.

    DisneyQuest

    Agreed. While nostalgic and a lot of the arcade machines worked, their "attractions" were feeling the hurt and you could tell they didn't care to fix them. In Pirates, some screens kept switching between 3D and regular screens. The graphics in all of the virtual rides all look like they are...

    Who wants to help a gal (who's too cheap to pay for Touring Plans) out with crowd levels?

    This. People get so caught up on what day is a "5" and which is a "7" but people just need to adjust their expectations. You will not be alone in the parks. Attendance for early to mid summer is less and will likely go down. If you tour effectively, relax during the busy afternoon times, and...

    would this be allowed/rude/weird???

    Pick one. Also, I don't remember calling anyone any upleasant, judgy names either. So here we are :) OP - There was a time a party member of ours went to BoG and asked for a chicken strip meal and were VERY graciously accommodated. Not saying they would do this again or to even expect it at...

    would this be allowed/rude/weird???

    Let me get this straight.....you criticized her opinion on options, but when others criticized your opinion suddenly that's not an ok thing to do. Only I should be able to cite my opinion with no recourse or speculation. Got it (PS - I also work in a similar line of work as you. Overly...

    Are June hours final yet?

    Disney typically releases any schedule changes around the 20th of the month before (typically...). I would imagine next Friday we should hear more of something.
