VTP Annual Pass Changes
Just got my One Pass and took advantage of the current bonuses included. A couple of pointers/thoughts/ideas Great to see that the passes are actually a plastic card once again, and it’s great you can now upload your own photo. But they don’t include the expiry date. The passes now go for 12 months from activation date, so really it would be smart to include the expiry date on it. Currently they are offering a bonus free Hunger Buster meal, $50 animal voucher and a couple other things. I must say that if you were to purchase a Hunger Buster, it is actually good value for the options and cost. But.... service today was awful. We’ve mentioned it countless times already, and it isn’t every staff member because there are some great ones, but today... yeah nah not good VRTP Got a burger from Gotham (Which I haven’t done for a few years) and the size and taste of the meal has definitly dropped big time. It wasn’t bad, but from what it used to be, ain’t that good. But the lady who served me didn’t even have the basic service skills. No greeting, just stood and staired at me waiting for me to speak. Ordered, then showed her my voucher and then said “you are actually supposed to show this to me before you order because now I have to cancel it and redo it” Sorry, I didn’t know this, but that kind of service in a theme park isn’t needed. Then went to the Deli, got a muffin, and the cooked parts were nice, but the parts not cooked not so much. And quite a lot of it wasn’t. Finally, the voucher says Hunger Buster Deal with Sipper and Refills. I assumed this meant I got it free, but I wasn’t wrong. Not complaining here because on the website it does explain it, but I feel the voucher you get should state discounted. With the voucher you get it for $8 instead of $12, and free refills for the day. In summary, I feel communication for certain aspects of deals and the park need to be improved, and quite a few of the staff I saw and dealt with today (some I haven’t explained above) need to gain basic customer service skills. I work in retail, I get the environment, circumstances and challenges, but am always capable of providing the basics. Come on VRTP step it up a little.

West coast V East coast theme parks in USA
I haven’t been to either, but from what I’ve seen, head and know, if you have the time and extra money, definitely go to Orlando. More parks for both universal and Disney.

I definitely think the SW Monorail is just a mode of transport. It doesn't offer any form of unique experience. People really only use it to get from one point to another. The park themselves don't even list it as an attraction, its under its own heading in Park Info. If the transport incorporates a show or new scenes or views that aren't seen on foot, then yes I would class that as an attraction (Eg. Disney's train, DW's paddlesteamer, etc). An attraction is something go to a theme park to experience, I doubt there are many people that go to SW to purely just ride the monorail, or go out of their way to ride it.

Can confirm it has closed. A friend of mine had booked to do it in a couple of weeks time, but received an email letting them no it had closed and they will be provided with a refund.

Well in that case, technically even rollercoasters are a form of transport. Especially SE because you set off at one location and arrive at another
