I love the Magic Kingdom since it brings back so many great memories. However, depending on crowd level I start to grow a little tired of the place after 3 or 4 hours and start looking for the exit. Right now I'd rather spend time at Epcot or the AK. I love what's open at DHS but there just...

I would suspect the situation would be similar to what happened when InBev bought Anheuser Busch. The parks and resorts division would be spun off.

Top notch! My wife has been visiting WDW since she was a kid in 71. I'm still a bit of a rookie (to her) having started visiting when we met in 88 but we both agree that Horizons was the best ever. Thanks again!

Waiting much more than 20-30 minutes for any attraction is crazy!

Oh how I long for 1999! The non-transferable rule is great but just about impossible to enforce. Attractions like Splash and BTMRR do over 1300 FP+ per hour at peak times (not to mention re-ads from broken down attractions). That's over 20 per minute or one every couple seconds. If Mickey...

My family went to DAK this past Monday (June 19) evening. We got there around 6. Granted it was a bit of a rainy evening but other than Pandora the park was very open. We had a FP+ for the River Journey. FOP was at 90 minutes. We had a FP+ for the Kilimanjaro Safari ride but it was...

The merge CM is expected to maintain the proper ratio. It's one of the more stressful positions at a popular attraction when it's really busy. Taking gratuitous abuse is part of the job. Groupers have nothing to do with it; when you're grouping you have no idea if people came in via FP+ or SB...

Why does anyone think it had to do with a log being empty? Haven't you ever seen the ride be restarted? The entire "fleet" is cycled through empty. Logs go empty all the time when there is no sustained demand. Splash Mountain 101 - There is a brake at the bottom of the drop. There is a...

A log stuck at the Drop 4 Brake is not a common occurrence. This looks like a brake malfunction since it looks like the ride was evacuated. Much more common for a log to get stuck just prior to entering the station. At least there it can usually be dislodged by maintenance giving it a swift kick...

They're pretty tough over at the 7DMT for good reason. The CM's must have some good backing from their management to hang tough. Over in Frontierland (where I worked) the management was (is) pretty spineless and if a CM really put their foot down they would probably get a lecture about the...

As a recent former CM at two FP+ Attractions I thought I can assure everyone that there are so many different FP+ schemes and scams that I could write a book. When someone comes to the FP+ return with stack of 15 or 20 tickets and has to scan 10 or more of them to "find" three with valid FP+s...

Disney's Movie Immersion Experience.

30 minutes to Epcot/DHS/DAK. 35 to MK.

Put me in the "Fix/Update" school. The Circle of Life is absolutely outdated. I think a much better solution would be to update it using the characters from "The Lion Guard" I can recall the days in the 90's when you had to queue up and wait for a show and the theater was often full. As for...

FOP FP+ has to be the priority due to lower capacity. I would advise anyone looking at the single rider queue to keep in mind that people may only be pulled from that line if the grouper can't fill the 16 spots out of the FP+ and SB queues. I've seen the single rider queue at RnRC take just as...

Rode at the preview yesterday and it was great. I purposely avoided all reviews and impressions of others since I wanted my first experience to really be totally new. Glad I did. My only advice to anyone is to just relax and immerse yourself and become a part of the ride just like you'd...

As a person described by the OP (retired working at Disney) there is so much to take into account if you want to "retire to work at Disney". First you have to want to live in central FL. Yes, it's a tourist area but get away from the tourist spots and it's just like they don't exist. It's not...

I will experience any attraction any time with anyone who will ride/go with me. I've even done Disney Jr. Live on Stage with a friends kids (for the record the show wasn't that bad). My advice is never let anyone get between you and your magic. There are two kinds of people in the world...

Most areas have a Facebook shift swapping and give-away page. PT help is often looking to pick up extra shifts for the $$$. The 32 hours is a minimum guaranteed to FT cast. Sixth days (for FT) and longer shifts (both FT/PT) are facts of life during busy times.

For some time now the television screen showing the first lunar landing has been dark in Spaceship Earth. The audio still plays. Although "minor" it makes the scene looks dumb with a family staring at a TV that looks turned off and frankly is disrespectful of a major moment in history. I'm...
