Is anyone able to see rates with this discount? I'm not seeing anything on the disney website

No, just on Blog Mickey and from a TP email I'd gotten.

Yesterday I was seeing reports of Dolly Parton's '9-5' being on the playlist. Is that not accurate?

I did a search on the WDW site and found the Visa offer that way.

Yesterday I was seeing reports of Dolly Parton's '9-5' being on the playlist. Is that not accurate?

The article I read said that songs that didn’t make the cut for the ride itself are being played in the exit area, so maybe that’s where that one is?

I had to look back too!! The original article is HERE. It did state “Keep in mind that this list is not yet final.”

Last time I booked a Disney Visa discount I had to call.

 

[MidnightMeeko]

I’ve looked everywhere for my friend, and cannot find a link or any additional information on how to book. I am assuming that you will have to either go through the Disney Visa company or a travel agent.

I did a search through the search option of the WDW website and it showed as a result for me. I was able to go in and see the resorts available and to book if wanted.

Thanks, I’ll look now. So strange it’s not available on the Offer list.

Agreed, it was the bottom search result, and it says 25% (doesn't mention the 30%).

I think that’s the issue! Everything says 25% and I am looking for 30%!

New Parking Lots Coming to EPCOT

According to a permit filed with the state of Florida, Walt Disney Imagineering has plans on creating new parking lots at EPCOT. The permit, which lists the current Imagine Parking lot site as the address, calls for the Hubbard Construction Company to “provide new parking lots at EPCOT”. Hubbard Construction is a giant in the Central Florida landscape, having been tasked with projects such as the Monorail system and Bay Lake Lagoon project in the 1970’s.

The permit, which offers little details beyond a broad description of the work, does (interestingly) list August 31, 2023 as the expiration date, which is beyond the standard 1-year timeframe for a permit. This extended date generally gives us a better idea of the planned end date of a project. It’s likely that Disney wants to have this work completed by the end of fiscal 2023, which ends around October 1st. It’s also possible that this work needs to be completed by the time the World Celebration construction wraps up, which Disney has previously said will be in 2023.

They need more cast parking, so they could be making a new lot where they staged for Guardians, or between there and the cast lot.

runDisney Website Crashes, 2023 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend Registration Delayed​

Guests have not been able to register for the 2023 runDisney Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend this morning as the runDisney website has crashed.
The queue for registration opened by 9:45 a.m. ET, with registration scheduled to open at 10:00 a.m. However, guests remain stuck in the queue unable to register well past 10 as the main runDisney website has crashed.

At 10:23 a.m., runDisney posted on Facebook, “We are working on runDisney.com and appreciate your patience as we correct the issues. We will provide an update when available.”

At 10:37 a.m., runDisney updated the queue page with a message reading, “We are working on runDisney.com and appreciate your patience as we correct the issues. We will provide an update when available. Please remain in queue.”

It's just the first teaser. The full trailer will be different, I am sure.

Giving me similar vibes to Ragnarok, which was the best Thor movie by a country mile, and this is also being directed by Taika Waititi, so I don't have any worries about this movie, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Waititi can do no wrong in my book so far and he's a master at mixing genres, but I think the trailer is playing off too much of the Ragnarok vibe. I wonder if the trailer was delayed as there was a lot of discussion for the tone of the trailer. I could end up being wrong, but I think Love & Thunder will be a bit darker/serious in tone while keeping Waititi's quirkiness ... think closer to JoJo Rabbit
