We just did this trip in December. We flew in and out of Heathrow. We flew overnight from LAX and spent five nights in London. We then transferred to Versailles for two nights (which turned into one night after cancelled trains due to a Chunnel workers strike!) and finished with five nights in...

Although it is “bench seating”, Web Slingers has individual seating designations, due to the scoring apparatus and has plenty of room. It was designed for four people. On my first ride on WS in Anaheim, my party of two was joined by another party of two. No issue whatsoever. Once again, I have...

Interesting you mention the knees because that was part of it. I’m not overly tall but had been crunched in a “too small for our party and luggage” Uber minivan for 16 hours getting from London to Paris after our train was cancelled when the Chunnel workers went on strike. It had been several...

I think you hit the nail on the head that the CMs don’t always use good judgement. WDW is not my home park, so while I have visited WDW, I can’t comment on some of your specific examples. I think Test Track is the same vehicle as Radiator Springs Racers in Anaheim (my home park) which I have...

At some point, cramming more people on for efficiency creates a negative experience. Thinking of my example of Big Thunder, it’s not ok with me to have a stranger thrown against me due to centrifugal force. Maybe my threshold is lower than others but my standard is a separate seat and I’m...

My seat mate was my 16 yo nephew and I wasn’t going to make him ride with strangers. When I decided not to ride, he moved up with his parents. I guess I think public transit is a necessity (which coming from California I don’t really experience) vs paying a lot of money for something fun that...

There was no way to know how cramped it would actually be but looking at the ride vehicle, it seemed cramped and it wasn’t worth the risk of being miserable for the length of the ride.

Yep. We were only there for the day, so everything was long gone.

We were there Christmas Day and very underwhelmed. We had counter service at Stark Factory and found it very mediocre. Being Christmas Day, table service reservations were very limited even 60 days out, and the best I was able to do was Silver Spur Steakhouse. Ok but not great. If I had the...

We visited DLP on Christmas Day and I had a major complaint about the way the CMs use single rider on Ratatouille. First though, let me say that in think SR is a good development. Though I rarely use it, I have seen it action for many years in Anaheim and Florida. Since we are frequently an...

Be glad yours was only $760. We are going on Christmas Day and our family of four is $1,000! If it makes you feel better, I paid it begrudgingly. We are there one day only in the middle of a two week London/Paris trip and my ancient back has trouble standing in line. Yo do what you gotta do.

December 25, 2023 during a London/Paris trip. We decided to do DLP on Christmas Day for the festive environment, since it’s our first family Christmas away from home in the U.S.

The other variable is drainage systems (natural or built). Some areas will have better storm drain systems than others that may be undersized or non-existent. Moreover, even well design systems can get blocked by debris, causing significant localized flooding. Your point of developed areas...

Does anyone know if housekeeping has box fans (for white noise)?

I don't know why you were told that and I don't really want to debate, as this thread isn't about causing more anxiety and we are getting way off topic. I will ask if it makes sense to anyone that dogs would be used in a high tourist area with a ton of children, who could be set off by...

It is a small but important distinction with huge implications. I wouldn't be so picky but given this thread is about fear of dogs and mis-information could increase those fears, I called a local K-9 officer to confirm. Police dogs are not trained to decide to attack on their own and stopped...

I don't believe police dogs are trained to make decisions to attack on their own, even to protect the handler (I am no expert and could be wrong). I believe they are trained to follow commands and the handler would have to issue the command to attack. I think it would be a real problem if...

Completely random thought (and no expert at all) but since the change was so dramatic Day 1 at the GF and the timing sounds about right, is it possible she overheard someone discussing the unfortunate alligator incident at the GF beach? I could see someone talking about it in the shops or by...

Sometimes you never know. Though never diagnosed with anxiety, DS was always very clingy and always wanted to know that a parent (preferably both) were in sight. Even if I went upstairs (telling him I was going), he would call for me panicked. Though this has subsided substantially as he has...

Tinknalli is exactly right. As a frequent flier for work, more airports are using dogs in lieu of body scanners and shoe removal, et all. I see the same German shorthair pointer most mornings I fly out of my local airport. I will say the handler wants you to keep moving, unless the dog detects...
