Re: COVID19 Thread

Great to see everyone still has a sense of humour after the craziness of the past couple of years! I'd love to travel overseas this year, however am planning my belated 50th trip to WDW for Feb/Mar next year. While the start and end of the trip will be whichever Value Resort offers the best price, I...

Re: COVID19 Thread

How is everyone? Even back when someone was at Disney or planning a trip this forum wasn't overly populated, however with so many lockdowns and lack of trips we have all gradually stopped posting. Just wanted to check in on everyone who is coming to the forum :) I'll admit I haven't seen much Disney...

Re: 2021 Movies

If you saw a movie in the theatre and then had the immediate option of watching it again on TV, how long would you be inclined to wait until you watched it a second time? Greg Well to put it into perspective - When I heard about many of the great shows on Disney+ I was excited to see The Imagineeri...

Re: End of Magical Express at WDW

Sorry - I've been away for a bit but should be around a little more again now. Yes - I read just this weekend that Mears will take over transporting people from the airport to the resort. It won't be part of your accommodation cost now, so you'll need a separate booking, but at least there is an op...

Re: The Fight

And we are back!!! State of Origin in it's traditional mid-year timeslot and a great win for NSW last night :) Congrats NSW, I hear it was a well deserved win. I do feel that Townsville tourism operators were the real winners - someone set up a tent city due to booked out accommodation and I believ...

Re: 2021 Movies

Raya is now available on Disney+ so I hope to catch up with it soon. I hope you enjoy it! I will admit as much as I'm looking forward to watching it again, I am re-finding a love of watching movies at the cinema and am glad I saw it there. Of course not always possible so it's great we no longer ha...

Re: End of Magical Express at WDW

That's an interesting question. Are you willing to pay more than you used to just to be able to travel, when are finally able to, or are you expecting big discounts everywhere ? Greg I have no expectations at this stage. I've heard WDW prices have gone up, however I haven't looked anything up as ye...

2021 Movies

I'm sure some of you now wait until movies come out on Disney+, however thought I start a thread for all movies for this year in the event I'm not the only one who sees some movies at the cinema. Raya and the Last Dragon was excellent. I went with a friend and her 8yr old daughter and we all enjoyed...

Re: End of Magical Express at WDW

The lack of international tourists has no doubt affected the use of the bus. Perhaps the return of international travel may assist in the return of the Magical Express? We can only hope. I think it was around this time last year we were lamenting the lack of transit options between LAX and DLR. I wo...

Re: COVID19 Thread

And now Victoria is back in lock down - I think this is the new normal. My work is making us all go back to the office fulltime - even for us that have to catch public transport. I went in two days last week and will be full time again from Monday. Sorry to hear Keith; hope all stays well down ther...

Re: End of Magical Express at WDW

EMH? Taking everything into account (although this may be the wrong crowd to ask :D ) is it worth it to stay onsite as opposed to a cheaper place offsite? Greg EMH = Extra Magic Hours - one park a day would have an extra hour or two for hotel guests. I believe they're considering all four parks ope...

Re: COVID19 Thread

Will I be able to get it? Will I be last on the list? Will I have to pay for it? Will I have to pay a fortune for it. Will I have to have it to renew my retirement visa? Rumor a couple of days ago is that I will have to have a negative virus test done every 90 days as well. Not looking forward to t...

Re: End of Magical Express at WDW

This has been a subject of much debate on Facebook. Some say there's no point staying at a Disney hotel if they don't get free transport and the EMH which are apparently changing also (I'll still stay at a Disney hotel). I've only used the Magical Express once and that was to return to the airport. ...

Re: Disney+ for Australia?

Sorry Greg for ignoring your Star Wars posts and just changing the subject all the time, I'm sure Keith will bring it back to Mandalorian (I do think Baby Yoda is cute though). Just wondering if anyone has seen WandaVision? While I haven't seen any Marvel movies or TV shows and will not have the tim...

Re: COVID19 Thread

My 3 day lockdown was very productive. I actually think if they make me stay home one weekend a month I'd get far more done! I'm very thankful it wasn't extended, we were very fortunate. At this stage I'm not making travel plans even within Queensland, just seeing how the year plays out. I may go ba...
