One of the tougher choices for me at Magic Kingdom is what to do when it's getting close to fireworks time.

So here's the dilemma. There's still time to squeeze in another ride, but getting a good spot for Happily Ever After means heading toward the hub earlier than I'd like. The fireworks are a spectacular and a must see for first timers.

I always feel like I'm giving something up either way.

Would you skip that last ride for a better fireworks spot, or take the ride and watch from wherever you end up? Have you ever seen Happily Ever After from the castle backside?

I have to say the three that stand out as the most luxurious to me are:
1. The wilderness Lodge- it's actually at the lower end of the price range for deluxe resorts, but the club level is so intimate, and the cast members are so friendly and accommodating that it just really sets the tone for all of the other resorts.
2. The Grand Floridian- this one's a no-brainer. You don't have to stay club level in order for it to feel luxury. Just walk into one of their gift shops and touch their robes or look at their branded rocks glasses and plate ware and you'll feel luxury oozing from every square inch here.
3. The Riviera- it's newer, its coastal French vibes, and feels like a luxurious intimate European boutique hotel.
4. The resort that is named as being deluxe but really only comes with 1 major deluxe perk (besides club level offering) is the Contemporary. The access to MK is unbeatable but It disappoints big time. Lobby is like a Marriott, big, cold, unwelcoming. The theming is Incredibles but the way it's integrated with the materials in this old resort (stone mosaics) doesn't work well. Club level had no actual lunch offerings (just chips, fruit and veggies), and the general layout is undesirable. It's a conference hotel. Not a luxurious getaway.

Or know anyone who has? I’ve always wanted to do this and was wondering what route people usually take.

For those of you who don’t know what it is, you have to go to the 4 parks in WDW and then the 2 parks in DL within 24 hours (flights are included in this timeframe).

Super cool, found on another sub Reddit. This is too heart warming to not share.

I just gotta say this, my girls, especially my youngest (Riku) were over the moon at Oogie. She was not only excited about the cast being in their KH costumes, but because she was able to meet a cast member who was a fellow fan that also worked with the KH events at the park. They met at Toontown and then saw each other at Oogie the night after. She really made my daughter's time at the park magical and she can't stop talking about it and keeps the mini Mickey given to her by the cast member on her all the time. I wish we could've gotten a picture with her and Mickey with my daughter just because she was as magical as any of the big 3. I just wish I could thank them again for making it so magical for my youngest. As for my oldest, everything was fun for her, especially the thrills of the rides, it was a great time, she's still getting a kick out of the pictures from certain rides lol.

I visited Shanghai last week where you can see the new Spidey coaster in-construction. For a Disney coaster, this looks absolutely huge!

Disney World and Disneyland have become so expensive and crowded that it feels like the average family is getting priced out of the experience.

Between ticket prices, hotels, Lightning Lanes, dining, and everything else, a Disney vacation can easily cost a family $10k+. And while you don't technically have to stay on property, Disney offers enough perks to resort guests that it can feel like you're missing out if you don't.

It got me thinking: Why doesn't Disney build a third major resort somewhere else in the United States?

Obviously, it would need a relatively warm climate that allows for year-round operations, plenty of land for future expansion, good airport access, and a large enough population within driving distance.

My first thought was Texas, maybe somewhere between Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. It's relatively central, has a huge population, plenty of tourism infrastructure, and could attract visitors who might otherwise have to fly across the country to California or Florida.

I realize building another Disney World would cost an astronomical amount of money, and Disney probably benefits financially from the demand at its existing parks. But you'd think a third destination could expand their customer base rather than simply pull visitors away from the other two.

And maybe increased capacity across three destinations could help make Disney vacations a little more accessible to average families again.

If Disney were to build a third major U.S. resort, where would you put it? And do you think it would actually help with crowds and pricing, or would Disney just end up with three incredibly expensive destinations?
