    News Former Walt Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde to be honored as a Disney Legend at D23 2024

    Even if he's just running masterclasses for Imagineers this is surely a good sign that his ethos and expertise are being valued and nurtured. Certainly a more positive news story than not having him involved at all.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Very busy all week, but a good vibe. NPH on Candlelight Processional always brings in the crowds

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Heading in shortly for the third time this week. Agree 100% the park just feels great right now. Onwards and upwards

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I mean, Epcot could have two shows. It would help to disperse crowds. DHS often has two performances of F! as well as WWOA. The low pyro demand makes this more feasible. But even though EF was relatively light on pyro, there's still a lot more dollars wrapped up in that show than WWOA.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I posted my initial thoughts last night, but the park felt more "alive" than it has for years. Part of that is that World Celebration just had a beautiful vibe and everyone in the park seemed in high spirits. On reflection: The show itself was good, not great. Not HEA levels of feels. But I...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    My take is that it feels old school Disney. Very pyro heavy. Builds really well. It lacks the energy of Harmonious, though. Much better visibility though. I LOVED Harmonious, but only from a small number of viewing positions. I think this show is a winner. And the vibe at Epcot tonight was the...

    Lots of movement and scurrying behind the scrims in World Celebration today, based on my view from the monorail loop. Talking of, that onboard spiel still refers to Future World. Update tomorrow?

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    Finally got round to watching the Epcot episode of Behind The Attraction. SSE was featured a fair bit, which makes me optimistic for its future, given that the whole series is basically a big commercial for the parks. It really deserved its own episode, though presumably leadership are well...

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    As of right now the preview is a walk-in, no wait time at all. But cast members are still (rightfully) enforcing the park reservation rule (I park hopped over and thought I'd at least politely ask). Will be back on Thursday with a park pass, so hoping to walk right up.

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    It's so sad to see the attraction in the state it is. I rode the brilliant Indy at DLR yesterday and for a ride that's roughly the same age, using the exact same ride system, the difference between the current state of them both is staggering

    Tropical Storm Hilary - Possible Disneyland Impacts?

    I should think the early closure is more about giving themselves more time overnight to clean up ahead of normal operation on Monday. Which I'm delighted about as we're hitting DLR tomorrow and Tuesday

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane status

    Question. Is it possible to join more than one virtual queue? So, given that the 1pm drops for both parks stay open for quite a while, could I join the Guardians queue while in Epcot at 1pm, park hop to MK, arriving at 2pm, and join the VQ for Tron? Given the monorail link it would be easy to...

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Virtual Queue and Lighting Lane status

    Heading to MK for first time since Tron opening in a few weeks. Really would love to ride at night. Thoughts on jumping in to VQ at 1pm exactly Vs waiting a certain number of minutes after in the hope of a post 8pm callback? Risky strategy or tried and tested? P.s. I do note that the 1pm drop...
