    Let's go to Disney World in 1973

    A wonderful piece of footage of the Magic Kingdom from way back in 1973. Funny looking at the differences then and it's amazing to see how fashion has changed! I first went in about 1977 but genuinely can't remember people dressing like that (I'm sure we'll look back in 20 years and say the...

    Anyone interested in seeing the Indie stunt show behind the scenes?

    Found a great youtube channel by a guy who played Indiana Jones (and other characters) in the stunt show. He actually had somebody film him during shows and rehearsals etc (including them following him along the catwalk and filming him 'drop in' in an actual performance). Some great footage on...

    Disney World in 1973

    A lovely blast from the past courtesy of Disney World Gold. The MK quite a bit smaller and looking rather different. Also shows the live band disappearing beneath the floor where Cosmic Ray now performs.

    Disney’s Broken Theme Park Promises & False Advertising

    A very negative title but that's what the video creators have named it. A really interesting watch for those interested in stuff Disney said they would build but never did with lots of detail. Courtesy of Yesterworld Entertainment

    Have the Citizens of Hollywood gone forever?

    Or is it thought they'll be brought back at some point, personally they're a big miss for me?

    Would it have been cheaper to keep the original plans?

    With the original plan to have the 'table top' area in Epcot that was scrapped for being too expensive, they obviously saved money by cutting that back. However is the amount they spent demolishing and then deciding to rebuild Communicore West more than what they saved on downgrading the 'table...

    Fundraiser for one of the Citizens of Hollywood

    So one of the Citizens of Hollywood needs some surgery as they are to undergo a double mastectomy after getting checked and catching her breast cancer early. A fundraiser was held through Facebook and youtube in order to help raise funds to pay for it and her recovery. Anyhow I know times are...

    Was charged full price for this ($4.99+tax)

    Last day of our 15 day stay and we were heading straight to the airport from the Studios. We had 20 mins left and so asked my wife if she'd get me my favourite blue ice drink as a final treat and gave her $10 (I'm not sexist, I have dystonia and my hand was cramping so couldn't hold it myself)...

    Will the Citizens of Hollywood ever return?

    A big miss from the parks and I wish they'd return. Anyone know if there's plans for them to return, can't see any tweets suggesting anything sadly?

    Anyone fancy a Chef Mickeys reservation for 9:15pm on 21st October?

    Sadly our trip is off as we're not being allowed in from the UK till November. Got this reservation so we could see the fireworks at 8pm and then walk on over for a meal. Whilst I can't 'give' you the reservation as such, I can cancel it whilst you're online which in theory will give you a good...

    Dining in Disney hotels if staying off site

    Hi guys, getting close to my 60 days out. If I book a restaurant in a Disney Hotel, I don't have to be a resort guest do I? Also is parking at the hotel free if parking up just for the meal?

    Ticket refunds?

    Hi, can anyone help please? We're in the UK looking at coming over on the 18th October this year. We're wanting to order Frequent Fear Passes for HHN but are worried our trip may be cancelled as America still isn't letting us in yet. I don't want to pay for two passes and lose the money as it...

    You're not a 'Disney World Veteran' until you've done the following...........

    Done more than 12 hours in a park on the same day. Eaten a meal leaning on the top of a trash can on a busy Summer's day. Had a stranger get far too close to you whilst watching a parade or the fireworks (sometimes good, depending on their gender and looks). Have a meal in the park and not...

    Former Citizens of Hollywood make short youtube movie

    Thought you may want to see 'Evie Starlight', 'Phoebe Bizarre' and 'Montgomery Dash' in a short movie. A bit of light swearing by 'Evie' so just be warned. Good to see them keeping busy, really hope they're brought back to the parks really soon as they're a huge miss.

    50's Prime Time Cafe, being asked to request an acting server?

    Read a review on Tripadviser about how now if you want to be guaranteed a fun server to tell you off etc, you've got to ask? Apparently the manager told this person that the servers aren't required to 'play' anymore though some who enjoy it do, unlike pre-covid. I know from reviews that it...

    I have about 7 magic bands which are a combination of those issued with AP's or 14 day UK tickets from previous visits. This october 5 of us are coming to Orlando each of us with a 14 day ticket for UK guests already purchased. Is it possible for me to give a magic band to my friends and link it...

    Peter Pan evacuation video

    Self explanatory really. This stuff always fascinates me, especially where the guests have to walk through miniature 'London' without treading on the buildings
