    Why do people always use "Walt theoreticals" to protest changes?

    I find myself even more annoyed by Disney Imagineers who, when interviewed about the latest attraction they're working on, say, "Walt would have loved this." This, to me, seems more like they're telling me I'd better like it, or I'm not a true Disney fan. Worse still, they're usually talking...

    Ok my friends, I've built a time machine and I need a brave volunteer

    Should that be "one lousy Disney Day?" Oh, wait, no. That wasn't the ad campaign, was it? In any event, I'd love to take my HD camcorder back to, say, a point in the early '90s, when I could visit the following (multiple times): Spaceship Earth, Horizons, World of Motion, Ice Station Cool...

    Your favorite park/attraction based on your first visit, age?

    First Visit: 1996 Age: 26 Favorite Park: EPCOT Center (in 1996) Now: Probably Magic Kingdom...and it kills me to say that because I loved EPCOT Center so much when I first went there. It has, sadly, declined quite a bit thanks to "attractions" like Test Track, Turtle Talk with Crush...

    Is Disney Quest worth going to?

    I have been meaning to visit it since 2000, but just never thought an arcade was worth such a huge entrance fee. However, this year I'll be upgrading my Disneyland Premium annual pass to the Premier before I go to Disney World, so I can justify a visit. I'm looking forward to it, regardless of...

    If you were in charge what punishments would you give for 'crimes' within the parks

    1. Use of flash photography - Offender to be locked in a small dark room and the flash set off repeatedly in their face for a minimum of 30 minutes. 2. Use of cell phone/walkie talkie during an attraction - Offender and device to be dealt with by Crazy Harry the Muppet. 3. People gnawing...

    caption EO

    Still one of my all-time favorites, though I could do without the moving floor, as mentioned by Martin (I've only seen the Anaheim version). It is one of the few things that have ever made me feel queasy in a Disney or any other amusement park (that god-awful Shrek 3-D made me feel the same...

    Are these "Hidden Gems" still there?

    Push, the talking garbage can, seems to appear at most of the Parks at one time or another. I've seen him at Animal Kingdom in Conservation Station, as well as Tomorrowland. Another similar character is Wes Palm. It's the same idea as Push, but Wes is, naturally a potted palm tree...on...

    Your Favourite Attraction at the World in Epcot?

    It could only be the American Adventure for me If only a few more of the countries had such an amazing attraction. Japan should have had Meet the World. And what about an attraction based on the history of English Theater? Heck, I'd sit through a Shakespearean play if it was staged with...

    Your Worst Attraction!

    Magic Kingdom - Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. It's neither futuristic nor fun. I though, am probably one of a small group who like Stitch's Great Escape...better than Alien Encounter. That had a great preshow, but a lousy main show. Worst past attractions: Under New Management and Mr. Toad's...

    What bad attractions would you place with?

    Journey into Imagination - The original with a few 21st century advancements Captain EO - Keep it. Phineas and Ferb? Really? How about the 3-D Dreamfinder and Figment movie I've read about? Narnia (closed ik) - Monsters, Inc. Roller Coaster that has been rumored...or maybe the Ratatouille...

    "Clip Shows" like Fantasmic and Philharmagic, and : good thing or bad thing?

    This is the worst example of a clip show. No plot, no theme, nothing. Just 28 straight minutes of clips of Disney films, all of which I love. Unfortunately, the sum of the parts slapped together aren't interesting enough to make me wait 2 hours for it. I'm also not a big fan of...

    BOY I Miss......

    Magic Kingdom The Walt Disney Story The original Pirates of the Caribbean (though Disneyland's will always be better) The old attic in Haunted Mansion (I preferred the ambiguity of the bride forelornly holding a candle to some poorly-projected axe-wielding woman) The Skyway Legend of the...

    Chances of TRON attraction now that movie is out?

    You were not alone in the hunt...of course, I wanted the 3-D Blu-Ray, and I wanted to buy the original on Blu-Ray at the same time to get the $8 discount.

    Maelstrom's crappy new exit

    As I mentioned earlier, though, if you read the website or the guide book, it does clearly state that there is a movie after the boat ride. The movie IS part of the attraction. It's not just some post-show walk-through like Test Track. I'm not sure where this supposed "attraction layout...
