As promised this post will cover how you can possibly survive only riding standby. I know that there are times where purchasing Lightning Lane could make sense. Say when you can only visit the parks on rare or special occasions. Or if you only have a short time and want to experience as many attractions…

A major part of Grandpa’s Crushing It strategy is to ride standby. I know that this can be controversial. Disney’s line skipping offerings, Lightning Lane Multi/Single pass can save major time. Especially if you want to cram as many rides in a visit as possible. Crushing It is not about just riding the rides. It…

Today we get back to a bit of strategy for a low key relaxing Disney Resort vacation. The flurry of news that was D23 is dying down. The excitement of things to be is still hanging in the air. Ole Grandpa feels energized and excited for what’s to come. To be sure things at the…

This is a brief post to share with you a way to give feedback to Disney, especially about decisions that affect you their guests. I am assuming that everyone has heard to news that the new Cars attractions coming to Magic Kingdom will be replacing Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America and with…

Wow the D23 fan event did not disappoint. One major complaint about past events was announcements for the parks were often just blue sky musings and not actual plans or projects. Well that changed this time. Disney Parks Chairman Josh D’Amaro promised that these announcements were in his words “Shovel to Soil” projects due to come…

What did I get wrong? For one there was no announcements in the Disney earnings call. I got this one wrong. What does…

After this post I will take you on a journey that is our planning for a family trip with the GrandKids. Grandpa’s basic strategy is still valid, with modifications. So Stay Tuned. WDW In The News. As…

This post covers a major expense point, Where To Stay. Choosing the right resort can really make or break a vacation. Remember that your resort is your sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the parks. It is vital that this home away from home really suites your needs. Grandpa looks at a resort as…

In my old eyes, a vacation is supposed to be relaxing and not an anxiety inducing mad house. The point of going somewhere is to relax, recharge, and to see/do stuff you don’t normally do. In the end you should be able to say. ‘Hey I’m Glad I did that’. Instead, I see folks come…

Starting yesterday Disney killed off Genie+, which some think was the worst post-Covid change that Disney ever came up with. This replaced the Fastpass+ system which replace the old paper Fastness, both of which were Free! That’s right FREE. These free to use line skipping tools were pretty much loved by everyone. Heck, even ol’Grandpa…
