We're debating taking a trip to France next year (we're from the US), and since we're not sure if/when we'll ever make it back over there, we want to make sure the timing's good. Is next summer going to be a good time to go as far as DLP? We're thinking of going around June, but it's hard to...

Disney Shuts Down Disneytoon Studios in Glendale: Exclusive Looks like the studio that brought us the "cheapquels", the Planes movies, and the Fairies franchise has finally come to a close. I always got the impression that the studio was something of a pet project for Lasseter, so I wonder if...

Any word on this yet? I've read elsewhere that it sounds like DVC members won't be charged staying at their own resort, but not sure if it's true or not. Any idea if members would be charged visiting another resort? We can only do the parks so many times, so we pad out a lot of days by, for...

I know the Sousa music that's been playing in Liberty Square the last few years has been unpopular since it began. But we were in Magic Kingdom this past Sunday and it sounded to me like the original fife and drum soundtrack might be back... We definitely heard Yankee Doodle playing outside the...

Link Google Translation can be a bit sketchy, but the report basically says that Shanghai's Disneytown guests have already begun to vandalize the lightpoles and to urinate/trample in the landscaping, and that trash is already becoming a major problem. And notably, the park isn't even open yet...

Sounds like the "land" might now be down to the single simulator attraction, a restaurant, and some shops: "Massive cost overruns with the MyMagic+ program in Florida, plus ominous budgeting issues looming for Shanghai’s woefully behind construction schedule, all sent Burbank bean counters...

Sorry to take this to the main forum, but would anyone happen to have a floorplan or other document showing the layout of the Innoventions buildings? I'm not as concerned specifically with the individual exhibits, as the relationships between the different functions like MouseGear/Electric...

So it seems things have been a bit quiet regarding the Star Wars Land rumor, but I know with the Star Wars Weekends coming up a lot of us are hoping for some kind of big announcement. So let's just assume Disney IS planning something for Star Wars Land, which would likely partially or entirely...

Some friends and I were looking for some ways to freshen up the WDW parks experience. We observed that of the four parks, only Epcot has earned the associated pastime of just taking time to eat and drink around the park. This is surprising since DAK and DHS also sell alcohol, and DAK in...

Does anyone know around what timeline Disney generally begins to roll out its Christmas offerings? Specifically, things like the first day of the castle lights or the holiday tag after Illuminations. If I recall correctly, last year there was a brief gap between the castle lights being switched...

I was reading an article on Tom Bricker's website and came upon this passage: It's so, so true, and touches upon something I noticed on a recent visit. A lady friend and I wanted to try our hand at drinking around the MK monorail hotels, and noticed that the drink menus seemed to be pretty...

Now I'm not asking for personal opinions of the ride... I'm just acknowledging that a lot of people have stated that they find the Little Mermaid to be unworthy of its status as the FLE's centerpiece, or of a ride designed to be competitive with Harry Potter, or even of its own $100 million...

Some friends and I are looking at renting some bikes somewhere on property, just for a relaxing off-day. Where are some of the best trails for that? I'm pretty sure Ft. Wilderness has some trails; doesn't Port Orleans have some as well?

Kevin Yee posted a good review of the newest wing of Art of Animation on MiceAge today. He made some solid comparisons of the Lion King wing to the Cars and Nemo-themed wings, complete with some astute observations the average sightseer might not notice. Generally I agreed with the whole review...

Now I don't want to start one of those threads... but I wonder how well this could work well for WDW's transit woes. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-05-07/citigroup-pays-41-million-to-sponsor-nyc-bike-sharing-program.html Pretty simple: Swipe your card at the bike rack. Pick your bike...

The Pete's Silly Sideshow thread got me thinking about another unconfirmed, yet potential offering to Storybook Circus. A while back, TheDisneyBlog reported a new poster featuring many of the characters found in Storybook Circus, including several who have been confirmed to have their own...

I'm not usually one to have dueling threads, but I was just messing around with a new feature of Google I recently discovered. First I tried this search to see which of the four WDW parks got the most attention...

So I got back from a trip to WDW not too long ago, and had a great time while I was down there. Although I’m not one to nitpick over things instead of enjoying the experience, I briefly recapped a couple of observations I made while I was down there. But there was one trend I realized while down...

Always wanted to do one of these. ^_^ Mods, I didn't know whether this counted as a trip report or not, but if you decide it does, feel free to move accordingly. So because we like to live on the edge, we decided to make a 5-night stop at WDW between Christmas and New Years. True to my previous...

We have our annual 5-night trip to WDW coming up between Christmas and New Years (crazy, I know), and we did our usual inventory of family interests to see how we should arrange our time. Our results: - 1 day in Epcot to eat at the San Angel Inn - 1 day in DHS to try and get a few rounds on...
