    WDW Area Breweries

    New York Beer Project in Winter Garden/Windermere, fairly quick and straight shot up the 429. Crooked Can also good but a longer drive.

    Mannheim Steamroller 2023?

    Caught it again this year. It's a fine show. But it's also the same show -- literally, same set list, same jokes, same video of Davis' daughter singing "Greensleeves" -- that I saw when my friends' infant was in a stroller. He's 12 now. Even though they cut her song from the parade, wish they'd...

    Kungaloosh!!!

    The complete collapse of The Edison within a matter of weeks (technically the dress code lasted all of one night)--located in a much better location, with much more motivated owners--would suggest no, it would not.

    Kungaloosh!!!

    This is the only way a revived AdvClub could work, as half of the top floor or what-have-you. One of four or five venues in the building.

    Kungaloosh!!!

    No room for a kitchen in Void, not even sure how much work sinks for a bar would require. I'm sure the VR equipment was stripped. Occam's Razor suggests the rumored SEA escape room is being relocated from Saratoga. It's cheap. It still gets a ton of positive influencer spin. It makes money hand...

    Kungaloosh!!!

    I mean, at the time it closed, there was only 1 original actor left (2 if you include all of Pleasure Island). Everyone else, including obvious fan-favorites, came on board at some point after opening. Had it stayed open these past 13 years, plenty of actors would've moved on while new ones...

    HHN #30 begins September 3rd 2021

    Houses at HHN are still top-notch. No one else in the industry close. HoS has better zones and a more fun, chill atmosphere. Ultimately two different events, like trying to compare Haunted Mansion to Mako. That said you have to do premium to have an unrushed, enjoyable night at HHN (at least...

    Seaworld Howl-O-Scream

    You can enter over by Sharks. Keep in mind virtually nothing was open in this "stay & scream" zone after 4 pm opening weekend, so I might try to delay entering as late as possible. This will put you in a position to see Dead Vines and Pirates Revenge with virtually zero wait at event open. Not...

    HHN #30 begins September 3rd 2021

    I expect opening weekend to be a zoo--that's The Orlando Effect. But after that? No Brits, lately a well-represented demo. A hard-to-measure but not insignificant number of traditional regulars seem to be skipping this year out of fear of Delta. I don't think the Disney College Program at full...

    Don't Judge... the Sizzler on Irlo Bronson

    Now I'm curious about the Shoneys that took over the old Burger King (!) in front of Celebration. Who knew they built new Shoneys?

    Don't Judge... the Sizzler on Irlo Bronson

    G/f and I went a year or so before COVID, primarily as a goof. It's very much the restaurant from the 80s--same decor, same pictures of steak to order from, same salad bar and hot bar. That said, for the price, most everything was alright. We actually filled up on the hot bar (I only remember...

    News Disney Genie digital assistant app coming to Walt Disney World

    Debated where to put this, but seems most likely to be related to this topic (and too little info for a new thread). DisneyInsta awash in reports of "influencers" who tried some new secret project at Blizzard yesterday. Tapu Tapu clone possibly tied into Genie?

    Seaworld Howl-O-Scream

    A lot of details yet to be announced but ... 1. Full indoor houses 2. No word of this, thinking maybe next year? 3. Conventional wisdom is not even all the coasters will be used. Sesame Street certainly won't open, river raft ride probably shuttered too just so they can shut down that...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    They had to do something to halt the death of a 1,000 PR cuts that was occurring at least a half decade prior to COVID. Everyone seems to forget that despite being a decent year economically, 2019 was horrible for Orlando theme parks. The preference cascade had started. That GAC lawsuit makes...

    News New Exhibit ‘The Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure’ Debuts in February at EPCOT

    Nope. That remains untouched, this is going in the main rotunda. In other news, @WDW Pro can add to his winning percentage. Mouse found a way to quietly disappear quotes from troublesome historical figures like Ayn Rand, Charles Lindbergh ... and Walt Disney.

    Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue Music

    Pretty sure "Zombie Jamboree" (Harry Belafonte) was in there, but that might have been Halloween season only. Also finished with Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life."

    Disney statement on Walt Disney World entertainment

    No, but I know some let go, along with most of the other staff, so I assume their restaurants are not re-opening any time soon.

    News Goodbye to The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra

    I believe it's the same team behind Scream & Stream, the drive-thru Halloween event in the same location, which was a lot of fun. Created by a former HHN manager and huge Disney fan, I fully expect the band to be treated with respect.

    When Did WDW Become An Extended Vacation Destination?

    Actually went as a non-local kid, probably around 1980, give or take a year. I got to ride an elephant, which was a highlight at that time of my life. Flash forward 30 years after I eventually moved to Champions Gate--which didn't exist when I was a kid--and head to my local Target, only to...

    Hours Changing in August

    Looks like Cowfish and BigFire, potentially others in CityWalk, have cut hours to 4 - 10, Thursday thru Sunday.
