I have some gift cards that I'm thinking of putting towards a day at WDW. This day is during a trip where I may or not be able to rope drop a park because of other commitments. There's a handful of things at EPCOT and DHS I would like to see, plus the MK Christmas decorations and Jingle Cruise...

Sequel to the Mel Brooks original, a "4 night event" starting March 6

I vaguely remember something about pay-per-view movies the last time I stayed on site, but how extensive is the selection and do they have Peacock on the hotel TVs?

The original idea behind Disney-MGM Studios was to create a sanitized version of Hollywood in the 1930s/40s. It played into the collective nostalgia during the 1980s that also fueled the new home video rental market and the launch of things like Criterion and Turner Classic Movies. "Hollywood...

First speculation map from HNN:

A wonderful look back with some of the people who made the ride happen, with lots of insight and stories:

I'm not sure what Don Bluth's animated movie has to do with marine life, but this was a thing in August of 1997 According to Wikipedia it was a "40-foot-long, 20-foot-high inflatable playground for children"

Many of the attractions that first debuted at Walt Disney World during the 1970s and 80s are still fondly remembered today. Their collective nostalgia fuels fond memories for those that experienced them as children or young adults. Some have lasted long enough that one generation was able to...

A work in progress essay and collection of thoughts... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was one of Walt Disney World’s original E-ticket attractions...

While I support the removal of what's left of Lost Continent, a land that has been chipped away at over the last decade+, if it does get replaced with another IP related addition something intangible, but meaningful, will be lost in the process. Disney's great non-IP attractions work because...

After visiting Magic Kingdom last month I was thinking about how strange it is that the park has comparatively few gift shops given how popular it is. I actually struggled to name more than half a dozen in the entire West hand side of the park, which is weird when you realize just how many there...

While eating breakfast at The Three Broomsticks earlier this month, something clicked in my brain. Sitting at a low table among the scrapping of wooden chairs, while looking up at the rafters, dingy windows and seeing people walk around with fake beer, I realized that I had just eaten lunch at a...

Last month was the first time I visited Disneyland since the opening of Tropical Hideaway, the restaurant/bar in between the Tiki Room and Jungle Cruise that occupies the space formerly held by Tahitian Terrace. While the menu didn't interest me that much, I did think the area looked great...

What is the best option and way to get groceries delivered to one of the on-site Universal hotels?

First vacation anywhere in 2 years, had not been to DLR since 2018. Lots of new things at the resort for me. Both new builds and attractions that, for one reason or another, I hadn't done before. Was it worth the hassle to do it? *SPOLIER ALERT* Yes, yes it was. :)

Browsing through restaurant availability in October and I'm surprised at how booking habits have changed since the parks have reopened. Places that were easy to get pre-COVID are now extremely difficult, while others that were hot tickets before are now much easier to get. Some old standbys...

Several months ago I bought a 1-day, 1-park ticket for WDW and made my park reservation. If I decide that day I want to visit another park as well, can I upgrade it to a park hopper? I remember doing this years ago at Disneyland. I understand that you can't park hop until 2:00pm and that it is...
