    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Word from inside the Anaheim Tower is that Imagineering has been visible on-site lately conducting "tests." Existing costumes are also said to have been relocated and replaced with a row of covered costumes. I haven't witnessed any of this, so take it FWIW.

    State soliciting bids for I-Drive rail; closes at end of month; may go to Disney

    One possibility could be Disney throwing its weight around to get an express train every other departure. It would be free to WDW visitors (and only WDW visitors), giving them an incentive to avoid the departures stopping at other locations. The downside is Disney would have to basically...

    Which land would you get rid of at Walt Disney World?

    Close the entire park and turn all the rides into DVC timeshares. Each ride vehicle counts as a unit. How exciting would it be to spend your kids' college fund on the right to wake up in your very own Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy?

    Poop smell?

    The bathrooms outside of Rancho del Zocalo are notorious, for some reason. They should really look into it.

    Will Tomorrowland be renamed Star Wars Land?

    I wouldn't worry about it. Some internet journalist used the phrase "Stars War Land" as a generic reference to a planned expansion, without even saying there were plans to use the name. The writer just threw it in offhandedly. Concluding anything about Disney's plans from that is really a bit...

    Will Tomorrowland be renamed Star Wars Land?

    No. The Tomorrowland name dates back to opening day (even if the land itself wasn't quite ready). Fans would go nuts. Disney is willing to ignore its heritage in some ways, but not to that extent...I think.

    Rapid Fill Mug Program Fails (at more ways than you might think)

    Don't downplay your ketchup and sports, my friend! There are far worse ingredients for a good life.

    Rapid Fill Mug Program Fails (at more ways than you might think)

    Pittsburgh bothers me. It's in a Northeastern state, and across the state from a major Eastern city. But I can't shake the feeling that it's basically in the Midwest. it defies my OCD compulsion to cleanly categorize things. WHY DO YOU DEFY ME, PITTSBURGH???? Anyway...since you brought it up...

    Rapid Fill Mug Program Fails (at more ways than you might think)

    I personally call them "sippy bubblerockets." But I always have to explain what I mean to the waitress. :(

    Rapid Fill Mug Program Fails (at more ways than you might think)

    There is a memorial in central Missouri, just north of the Arkansas state line, commemorating the fallen in the 3-way civil war that tenuously divided the nation into South, North, and...other North. Families were divided, and much fizzy drink was spilled, with no consensus on what to call it...

    Rapid Fill Mug Program Fails (at more ways than you might think)

    And (essentially) everyone in the food courts has paid for a park ticket. As mentioned, Disney has plenty of opportunities to recoup their nickel-per-head cleanly.

    Eh. It's been done.

    Up next: Captain America!

    They run these things for ages; you'll have no trouble meeting him in June. The blog post mentions that the Thor greet and Iron Man exhibit will still be up when this rolls out. Are they also putting Cap in Innoventions? I can't be the first person to think "um, hey, why not add a FULL AVENGERS...

    The Negativity Thraed

    Why is this thread still going? I hate it when things keep going. (That's not what she said.)

    Meryl Streep Blasts Walt Disney at National Board of Review Dinner

    My take: It's impossible to talk about history meaningfully without considering race. You might dismiss the entire idea as a human construct (as many geneticists today do), but that doesn't change the fact that the idea has mattered to a lot of people in ways that have dramatically shaped the...

    Meryl Streep Blasts Walt Disney at National Board of Review Dinner

    Walt was probably toward the progressive end of the scale, for his time. There was certainly no need for a prominent white man to sanction an attraction like "it's a small world," which debuted at the World's Fair the same year the Civil Rights Act was signed. Walt basically let his company take...

    Meryl Streep Blasts Walt Disney at National Board of Review Dinner

    Roger Meyers Sr., the gentle genius behind Itchy and Scratchy, loved and cared about almost all the peoples of the world. And he, in turn, was beloved by the world, except in 1938 when he was criticized for his controversial cartoon, "Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors." (Why oh why is it...

    The Spirit Takes the Fifth ...

    Bah. Give me the quirky, adorably awkward girl next door over Her Majesty (ok, technically they're both royalty, but whatever) any day.

    New Years Superstitions??? Customs???

    My family never did any of this, but I love the idea. I first learned about eating "hoppin' John" (which includes black-eyed peas) as an African-American New Years tradition from a restaurant owner when I was writing newspaper features. For me, it's always been "watch the ball drop" and that's...
