    News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for 2025 Resort Guests

    Weird perk when most people are coming internationally so dont arrive till mid afternoon at the earliest (significantly later if they're unfortunate enough to get the asleep shift at MCO security).

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    I'd never heard of Masimo until recently when they sued Apple for patent infringement and were forced to take Watch 9 off the shelves (rightly so, it was a slam dunk violation). Seem to be hearing about them every few days now.

    News Reedy Creek Fire Department responds to Monorail stuck on EPCOT line

    Ah theres a simple explanation for that. It's for the nighttime monorail drag racing events that take place from TTC to the poly. 0 to 60 in under a minute!

    News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

    Speaking of scenes, theres litterally nothing stopping them slotting in a bunch of digitally created ones, we're at the point where the average guest genuinely could not tell if they're looking at a real helecopter shot of MK or a CGI one...unless its done on the cheap like some of the shots in...

    I miss Disney Quest

    Lots of rose tinted glasses here I see. It was a failure. Their inability to keep it updated, and in many cases even functional started from the day it opened. There's so many accounts of people going once, and never going again - there's a reason for that.

    What famous person could narrate Spaceship Earth as well as Jeremy Irons?

    Well, ya see, like a... grand and miraculous spaceship, our planet, it's been sailin'... through the universe of time. And for a... brief moment, we, uh, we've been among its many... passengers.

    What famous person could narrate Spaceship Earth as well as Jeremy Irons?

    If they want to stick with a British accent, and we pick people who would realistically do it: Stephen Fry Patrick Stewart David Tennant (with 'real' voice not Dr Who voice) Sean Bean (bonus - he'll be contractually obligated to mention Yorkshire Tea) Helen Mirren Michael Gambon Joanna Lumley

    Best deluxe resort to stay in during a hurricane especially if the parks close?

    I've done a few Hurricanes. AKL was hands down the best. Worst was POP for obvious reasons. Any "indoor" one is going to be better as you're not crammed in your room all day, although they do tend to ask people to stay in their rooms when the worst part of it is hitting. Plus half price Boma...

    Heading back to the World after 4 years

    Have a great trip :) Also, dont make the mistake of thinking you need Genie+ instantly. You're on site, and being at CBR you absolutely do not need it for Epcot or HS early entry. You'll queue maybe 5-10 minutes for Remi and most other rides, and a max of about 30 mins for rise. Having stayed...

    Lost attraction oppurtunity?

    Putting the 'bits you can see' aside inside the show room, even if those were intact its still a far bigger job. The old mainframes running the rides would need replacing, all the wiring, lighting, etc. When somethings been closed for that long its never going to be an easy thing to try and...

    News “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

    Basically assume everything announced is blue sky given they've got zero ability to pony up the cash anymore.

    News Destination D23 2023

    In theory IF the encanto/indy/whatever land happens it could. But only because Dinoland is a ghost town most of the time. The rest of it? Zilch.

    News Destination D23 2023

    It's going to give them a massive kick in the rear when it opens and they've finally got some genuine competition for a full vacation stay. They've left it far too late for anything remotely enough to compete now though.
