Currently “on assignment” at Disney World, and I wouldn’t enter the parks without my indispensable @touringplans.com app.

With all this talk about @lentesta.bsky.social and his data- here’s how we can help you save time and money!

Waking up to @lentesta.bsky.social on the front page of the Wall Street Journal

Thrilled to work w/ the Wall Street Journal on this article about Disney theme park affordabilty. Gift link: www.wsj.com/business/dis... I analyzed at 150+ datasets on US household income and travel expenditures for that. Here's the cold, hard math: touringplans.com/blog/how-muc...

I’m here in Disney World pretending to be an expert, but here I am with the ACTUAL GOAT THEME PARK EXPERT, an E-Ticket ride personified, Len Testa! @lentesta.bsky.social 🎸#TouringPlans

On this week's Disney Dish podcast: - Christina Harrison joins us!!!!!!!!!! - Universal's new Stella Nova Resort - Best $50 to spend at EPCOT's Festival of the Arts And Jim continues the history of Reflections: A Disney Lakeside Lodge. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Hollywood Studios After Hours

The festival was also inspiring ! @lentesta.bsky.social

I rope-dropped Animal Kingdom (AK) this morning to test new wait-time models. The comparator was an AK CM who knows park ops really well, doing their own thing. The new models saved 30 mins, or 22% vs the DAK CM. A key insight the models had was to meet Mickey & Minnie right after Pandora.

On this week's Disney Dish: - A touring plan for Hollywood Studios that doesn't use Lightning Lane - We continue our look at Disney composer George Wilkins with music from the parks! Then we propose a new holiday song "Grandma Got Run Over By a Rope-Dropper". podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run in Hollywood Studios is testing 2-person groups in the single-rider line right now. Single riders still allowed.

Some Lightning Lane tips for Big Thunder Mountain's upcoming closure. touringplans.com/blog/magic-k...

Why wait 240 minutes in line to meet the Grinch when you can sit down and chat with Who’s, meet him, and enjoy a lovely meal. Service was top notch!!

If you happen to be staying at the Poly Island Tower soon, and can send a photo of your room view, I'd appreciate it: [email protected]

I like the new Poly Island Tower more than expected!! touringplans.com/blog/review-...

Spoiler Alert: We liked it!

Enjoy!

Entertainment really ramps up during the holidays. Do you have a favorite show?

A 54-page blog post is a manifesto, right? Asking for a friend.

@touringplans.bsky.social I finally got to see Tally at Mickey’s Very Merry!
