    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Which is exactly how I felt about the airport concourse food area they built in place of the Electric Umbrella. I just heard the office park park lighting is already broken. 🤣

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    A better question would be "What town center shopping center or what corporate office park doesn't have a park like this?"

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    It looks pretty, but EPCOT's been a total mess for five years... for this?

    News Disney World's Magic Kingdom is experiencing widescale attraction closures this morning due to a bear

    Looks like the woods just behind It's a Small World. Love that video's audio. Reminds me of UVB-76

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    W Thanks for posting that since I don't think I've read anything so far about what the plan was for parking or expanding the Polynesian parking lot and I wondered about the impact on the existing GF Villas and Wedding Pavilion parking lots. Looks like ~ 160 new spots in a dedicated lot. I...

    News Disney World's Magic Kingdom is experiencing widescale attraction closures this morning due to a bear

    I was tempted to leave my den and post in this thread as an opportunity to gripe about the unbearable changes announced for Country Bear Jamboree, but I had the forbearance to know my griping would be unbearable. This fun bit of news is certainly upbearing WDW chatter for the day and I have...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    When did the demolition and construction begin? 2019? And when is it expected that it will be complete and the walls removed?

    Does anyone else feel the urgency to visit WDW at this point more than ever?

    Not really. The parks have been in a tailspin for a long time. Maybe even before all of the forced and cringe IP insertion synergy stuff really hit critical mass. If anything, the only urge I have now related to Disney parks is to visit Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea if/when I ever visit...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    Construction quality of respective buildings has absolutely nothing to do with the question of whether or not the GF gym will now serve 3 resorts instead of 2, or if the new resort will serve 2 and the GF gym will serve only 1 in the future.

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    Pretty sure I already posted something relevent waaay earlier in this thread. But here's another one. Take your Polyday Inn concept art, strip away the palm trees and boardwalk. Or take your average Hampton Inn, add palm trees, and a flying overhang or whatver that element is called over the...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    So is this going to include a gym? Or will the GF gym now get traffic from the Polynesian and this new Hampton Inn?

    Surfing @ Typhoon Lagoon

    @Lands of Wonder - Yeah, I really want to try a wave pool. Typhoon is an old type, but from what I've heard it's plenty fun. And consistent waves, not dealing with mush and chop is really appealing. I have the same concern about the pool bottom especially because I'm the world's worst surfer...

    WDW Resort Gym Specs

    Not resort hotels, but I figured this would interest any other gym rats or people whose kids may be gym rats and are looking into the DCP. My son found a click-around virtual tour of the gym at some point when he started researching DCP. I can't find it now, but all I can say is, man, Disney...

    Grand Floridian not as grand as I would have thought.

    That could probably be said for the entirety of WDW at this point. 😂 As for the GF specifically any hiccups we've experienced there over the years were promptly addressed and sometimes even compensated for. My only longstanding gripe is with the descent of Gasparilla Grill. Reduced hours...

    1. Does that mean you can't saddle up to the bar? Or is that just for the couple of tables next to the bar? 2. Tiki Man's website is back? URL?
