    Illuminations Holiday Tag: Old or New?

    The original with the holiday tag was my favorite nighttime show. I just went back for the first time since 2013 and didn't realize that those changes had been made. I have to tell you, I was disappointed and probably won't try as hard to get over to Epcot to watch Illuminations. On past...

    Why Park Uniqueness?

    You are correct - most people are not going to make the trip to China or Japan (or even Europe for that matter) from the US. Part of it is cost and the other part is time. I have friends who live over in Germany and they also travel quite a bit, especially compared to my wife and I. I don't...

    Oswald Ear hats coming to the parks

    Yeah...I don't know how long these things will be around, so get them while you can. I would think if they don't move out the door, they'll be cut pretty quickly. The typical fan doesn't know who Oswald is...

    hoping we don't burn our kids out on the world

    And hopefully her parents will take her somewhere else - I think there are two big keys to that statement - variation and listening. If your kid doesn't want to go is the parent going to drag them anyway? If a parent wants to make positive memories with their children, they will listen to the...

    Which Park Hosts The Best Firework Display.

    Put me down for Illuminations - that is one that I have to see as many times as I can while I'm there.

    Suggestions for Unbiased Podcasts?

    I have to agree with those that say . The nice thing is that the podcasts are enhanced so you can see pictures of things when they're talking about them and you can skip any segment that you don't want to listen to. They're just down to earth people with real differing opinions...

    What was/is the large tree like structure

    I wonder why they haven't done that to the tower by Epcot...

    March break v. Christmas vacation

    There's just something about Christmas there, though. If you get to the parks early enough you'd be safe from most of the crowds. It seems like they start to get bad in late morning. That week between Christmas and New Year is awful though. I can't imagine March being quite that bad.

    Phillip Phillips at American Idol Experience

    I don't know if that means it will be around for a long while, but at least a year or so. They need to find something to replace it with - just closing it down wouldn't look very good. I can't say too much about it, because I have never had any desire to go in there. Heck, last time I was at...

    Need AK Park scheduling tips

    Well, I think the first two are pretty much no brainers - Expedition Everest and Dinosaur. I also like it's tough to be a bug in there, but that should be faster to get into. Kilimanjaro safari's is pretty good too, but if you're looking at the afternoon you may not see much, since the animals...

    Would you rather...

    1. Deluxe for a week. Like someone else said - 3 weeks is a long time. I'm good for a max of about 10 days so the week would be about perfect. 2. Depends on how much time we have...I would still be more inclined to get the park hopper, since that's what we do when we go there anyway. 3. Opening...

    Test Track 2.0 Poll

    That's where I would put my vote - instead I would say exceed expectations, but I'm basing it off of my expectations and not the community's expectations. I think mine are a little more realistic - I'm expecting a fun ride still, but different. If you're saying better than the original, it...

    Must Dont's While You' re at Disney

    Well, the most obvious choice for me is Stitch's Great Escape, but I'm trying to rack my brain for something a little better. There are quite a few rides that I won't do, but that isn't because I hate them, it's more because of priorities. I guess one must don't for me is getting in a line...

    Interesting Permit

    The link actually worked for me. So it does seem a little pointless to me to have to receive a paper ticket - defeats the point of going paperless, but I'm sure eventually they would make it so the fastpass machines could read the barcode too. I guess some of the questions I would have is how...

    Rides per day.

    Well, if I take the shows to be literal and not to include philharmagic and country bears i would say the most was my last trip and we did 20. If we include those types of shows it was 24 or 25. We only had that one day to do the Magic Kingdom so we powered through the morning and actually...

    Why doesn't WDW get any PIXAR themed lands?

    Going back to the original post - can I just say that Toy Story land in Paris is awful? They have the rc car, which could have utilized the same technology as test track / RSR, but just goes back and forth...back and forth...would they really want that land at Studios?

    Why doesn't WDW get any PIXAR themed lands?

    I don't see the point in changing the name of the park. So it's not a working studio - who cares? It now is supposed to be a theme park celebrating hollywood by having rides based on movies. Now, that may seem like a dumb concept because all of the parks have some sort of ride based on...

    Why doesn't WDW get any PIXAR themed lands?

    I think they are giving up on California Adventure being a park that celebrates california. Toy Story Mania, Little Mermaid, Carsland, Bugs Land - none of those have a single thing to do with California (I think it's a huge stretch to say that Carsland and Bugsland fit the "celebrate...

    Orlando magazine has a video and some photos of new Fantasyland

    While I agree that the rockwork could use a little more green at the top - I totally disagree about the castle - it's a castle and what are castles typically made of?...large cut stones! Might as well just plaster over the stone work on Cinderella's castle!

    WDW DVD?

    Those videos were pretty decent - I caught some on the travel channel and later on netflix. You probably won't learn much about them because they are, in essence, promotional videos. Some of the information will be a little out of date too. I was thinking they aired around 5 years ago and...
