…where is all the merch? Christmas stuff is almost nonexistent.
Nothing to support it but I believe it’s as others have suspected and Disney is having the same supply chain challenges many other places are having. I know retail around here has been facing it for a long time now.…where is all the merch? Christmas stuff is almost nonexistent.

Oh, absolutely. If people didn't believe us about this with Fastpass, they've now had over a year of regular standby lines to see just how true this is. My past three trips were in the last weekend of August, November, and December. It was instantly obvious how much slower the standby lines moved in November & December. It's been frustrating to go back to that.It is very crowded in the parks, with long wait times. I do believe the Genie+ and LL$ rides make the stand-by wait times much longer than they should be. We stood in place for about 15 min. in the 7DMT line at one point. Lines are moving slow as they let those other folks in.
Also I’ll write up a whole trip report when I come home as I had an awesome time at Universal today their Christmas parade was legit amazing and the grinch show and it was all included in the basic ticket..,
Enchantment was meh…NO emotional pull what so ever and I didn’t want to hop on the negative train when everyone was, but man was it awful. Also what was with featuring Coco, Princess and the Frog, and Moana so heavily? Why toss classic disney out. Happily ever after hit I think a nice balance of everything. I legit went into it with an open mind and felt so disappointed.
Harmonious…I’m not sure what that was but it was pretty. The soundtrack was just so all over the place…no “heart warming feeling” either. I guess I’m just getting older in my mid thirties and place too much on those emotional moments these shows gave me in the past. I know I’m not just looking on nostalgia as Epcot Forever was entertaining and cohesive.
So happy you had a wonderful time! Makes me super excited for my trip in Feb I admit a lot of the negatives have made me apprehensive also, but posts like yours help a lot and I'm glad it was a great time.I laugh as I read this thread observing how people can be at WDW the same time and have opposite experiences. We spent the last seven days at AKL
Our highlights:
1) Crowds and lines didn’t seem any worse than any other of our trips. We didn’t do lightening or genie and still rode every single ride in each park!
2) Cast members were all great and helpful. I can’t remember a rude encounter at all.
3) Park guests were super nice and friendly as well. People were sweet to my little guys and constantly apologized when running into any of us. I do think people have better dispositions in the cooler weather than in the summer.
4) Buses were prompt and frequent. The longest we waited was ten minutes.
5) Food was great and as much as I dreaded mobile ordering, I loved it. It was a big time saver.
Lowlights
1) MASKS
2) Waited till six for our room to be ready though it ended up being a highlight since a cast member asked us to make feeders for the animals, so the kids enjoyed that. We never usually take the time to do resort activities.
I must say that all the negativity on these boards had me worried, but all of us (three generations) had an amazing trip!!
Hi: Universal is fantastic. Can you tell us more about your day at USO? It is so nice to have so much included in your admission price. IMO, that's the way it should be at a theme park
omg. what is WRONG with people? To make a fuss over something so small. Has everyone totally lost all perspective in life? Are there any mature adults left? #sickofpeople.I've never seen people get so upset with CM's over a plastic cup & mediocre cookie. Folks, be kind, and if that plastic souvenir cup means that much to you, make sure to get the stamps at the food booths.
Right? We returned from a recent trip and just loved their holiday experience.Universal today their Christmas parade was legit amazing and the grinch show and it was all included in the basic ticket..,
