    American Heartland theme park (Oklahoma 2026)

    Obviously with Epic Universe opening in 2025 that brings a lot more competition Disney's way with Universal being so close in proximity, but is there any impact that you feel American Heartland will bring to Disney when it opens in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area in 2026? From what I have seen it is...

    Why did they add the final scene in Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?

    So if you watch the movie "Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" then things on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride make sense. He is arrested for driving like a maniac and he has a run in with the bartender and the judge and so on and so forth. I can see why they made the ride the way they did, both the...

    15 minutes left in the day, you rode Pirates and Haunted Mansion already, but you can choose between the two of them which one to go on again

    Okay, so I think it would be cruel to say you could only do one. Honestly, that's just torture. No matter the line ups there is never a day at Magic Kingdom where I haven't done BOTH rides. I've had a day where I missed Space Mountain or Jungle Cruise or such, but never these two. So you did...

    The Sherman Brothers documentary "The Boys" from 2009

    Forgive me for never seeing this until now. But I just saw it and thought it was well done. This is done 3 years before Robert died. Richard as we know is still kicking around to this day. Robert looked very old in this documentary, but I still enjoyed his perspective. These guys have their...

    How much are they altering the Country Bear Jamboree?

    So I feel the recent trip we did might be the last time we see the Bears as we know them. The songs, maybe even the characters themselves could change forever. This is very unnecessary and just makes the attraction inferior if they start adding Disney IP songs. It is as if they don't "get"...

    My Magic Kingdom trip report (Sept. 2023), comparisons to Universal, and why the Genie+ is not necessary

    So I will weigh the pros and cons. I'll let you in on it, it is mostly pros. Disney still does the parks well, you can't deny that. I do have some concerns as a lifelong fan of the parks and I will get into that here. So we did a couple of days at Universal, did both parks. They were great...

    Are the fireworks show (Happily Ever After) on every night?

    Will be at Magic Kingdom sometime next week but will pick a day that doesn't have Mickey's Halloween party. So I assume if the park is open until 10pm that there will be the fireworks display behind the castle. Yet when I look at WDW's website it does not have a schedule of the parades or the...

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

    The reason being is that Disney is in a tailspin right now. Their movies are just horrible and even when they try and piggyback on Walt's legendary success like Snow White, they make a live action "remake" and have the main actor just trash the original story and concept. Despite the fact that...

    Best beach to visit in mid to late September

    So just some advice from my peers here. It has been years since I went to the beach in Florida. I don't know why. But either way, what is the best beach that you recommend going to? Is it ones along the Atlantic such as Cocoa Beach or is it better going to the Gulf of Mexico side near Tampa and...

    Are Disneyland or WDW fans the most stubborn about trying the "other" park?

    I've seen it on here before, people who love WDW and have always gone there sort of just scoff at the idea of going to Disneyland. I've done it, it is totally worth it and as a lifelong WDW guy I felt Disneyland was better than Magic Kingdom by a noticeable margin. But I feel there are lots who...

    Country Bears staying put?

    I am part of a social media group that shares a lot of theme park attractions. The other day the Country Bear Jamboree video was shared, just because. Obviously got a warm reception. A couple of people mentioned "I'll miss it" or another one said "I saw it before it closed". I am assuming the...

    If Walt Disney died in 1986 instead of 1966 how do things change?

    So he lives until 1986 and is still working on projects up until his death. Same thing happens with Roy, he dies in 1971 still, two months after Disney World opens. But Walt hangs around and works on the company 15 years after this. What happens with Epcot? How vastly different would it be and...

    If Disney has a "Mount Rushmore" who is on it?

    Okay so obviously Walt and Roy are locks. But who fills in the last two spots? Roy Disney Jr? Michael Eisner? The Sherman Brothers? Just in before someone does it, but this will NOT include any of the cartoon characters. Sorry Mick.

    Is Marceline, Missouri worthwhile to visit?

    Might hit up Branson sometime this summer and if we do my thought is going to Marceline to see the original inspiration for Main Street USA. A few goodies are there for the Disney historian. I know the museum is there to see some memorabilia. Basically the idea is on the way to Branson we stop...

    Branson/Silver Dollar City in October

    If you have to move this thread, so be it. But no one knows the other parks around the world better than WDW fans, so I thought I'd ask. Our WDW trip is in 2023, but there is the opportunity to do something smaller before then. So how is Branson in October? Still legitimate swimming weather in...

    Orlando weather/WDW crowds in early May

    So no one knows how things will shake down in 2023. Will things sort of level out when it comes to the crowds as there are less revenge vacations? Will the prices maybe calm down? (yeah, yeah, I know, but still). Will there be this insane demand like there is now? Who knows. But it is a...

    Who is revered more: Dolly Parton at Dollywood or Walt Disney at the Disney parks?

    So just returning from Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and I can say with great certainty..............wow! Never been before, and it was lovely. Low crowds as well since kids were back in school. And as for Dollywood I would say the experience is excellent. Best park I have ever been to outside of...

    What is the best railroad train ride in a park in North America?

    I am a sucker for the train. I love it. I could sit on the train at Magic Kingdom for about an hour, no problem, just soaking things up. Anyway, which one is your favorite? If I missed an obvious one then so be it. Not sure if I did though. Dollywood's goes into the woods and is a 5 mile round...

    What is the best park in North America outside of Disney and Universal?

    So, obviously not counting anything at WDW. Or Universal Orlando. Or Disneyland Resort, or Universal Hollywood. What would be after those parks? And is it even close to the same sort of experience? Is it Cedar Point for the thrill junkies, Dollywood for the warmth/theming or even one of the...
