Why Splash Mountain's Closure is Both Sad for and Insulting to Everyone

Disagree, there is absolutely no insulting of black people in that entire film. There's no slander, there's no disrespect of black characters (certainly not based on their race) and Uncle Remus is clearly intended to be the films 'hero'. People only claim it's racist because it is set shortly...

Disgrace. There are things you just don't do and this is one of them. Splash Mountain is one of the greatest rides of all time, arguably the best Disney attraction. It's one of the cornerstones of the Disneyland/Magic Kingdom experience. To say it's iconic would be a massive understatement...

Well no, they’re closing the fountain, innoventions, Illuminations and Spaceship Earth at the same time. That’s quite a lot of significant things to be closed at one time. If this has been planned for a while it would have made more sense to have done it in stages. Spaceship Earth could have...

Why would they want to close all this stuff all at once? Surely the changes are drastic enough, keeping certain flagship attractions the way they are for now would at least soften the blow and reduce pitchfork sales in the short term. Seems like they're trying to wind people up. Surely it won't...

This whole sub-section of the forum just makes me upset. Iger is the worst thing to ever happen to Disney. Epcot was, and still is to an extent, so beautiful. It's going to be a soulless, cheap-feeling kiddy park no better than Legoland once he's done with it. He does not understand what a...

I'm a bit of a novice at this you see, to be honest I didn't even know what MDE was until you just mentioned it. I've downloaded the app now and am booking as we speak :) Thank you both so much 👍

Hi all I'm told it's a good idea to book Disney restaurants early if possible, trouble is I'm not going until the end of September and I don't fancy calling from England and paying the international charges if I can help it. I can't seem to find an email address or a way to book online with...

Ok so I can't use this deal now as the dates fall on my niece's christening in Italy! By far the cheapest option I've got left is Avanti Palms on International Drive the following month. They do offer a Shuttle Service to Disney & Universal although I'm not sure how reliable it is. However, it...

Hilton on Lake Buena Vista. Reading it more closely I think it has both those things actually :)

Yeh going for 2 weeks. I'll keep looking but my sister (bless her) has found a good deal for me on a hotel that's right next to Disney Springs for about £900 incl. flights. I understand they don't do travel buses from there to the parks but the Lyfts will be cheap as I'm basically in the...

It certainly would be less of a stress. The cheapest I can find for WDW hotels is like £1,500 for the hotel. That's the All-Star Sports Resort, is it decent there? Flights are like £400. Are there any websites you can recommend for deals that are specific to WDW hotels?

Thanks for all your responses. I'm coming from England so I've been looking at getting a good flight/hotel deal....I just need to work out the price difference between one of those deals + lyft transport vs a potentially more expensive deal but with free transport to the parks. I've never...

No thanks. The theming is original and timeless. You don't need to be an Aerosmith fan to appreciate it. We don't need more bland rides based on IPs.

I'm looking at going to Orlando in October for the 6th time but the 1st time on my own. I don't drive and I've heard the public transport isn't great. I'm assuming getting a cab to the parks every day would bankrupt me. Am I scuppered? The last time I went was 10 years ago with my parents so...

As an aside, I think some people on here would be ok with the entire Orlando resort becoming Marvel World - as long as it made good business sense to the CEO. I've never really understood the 'generating revenue' argument. You (presumably) are not a director at Disney. Yes the Disney company...

Yeh this sounds poo. Iger really is a bit of a douchebag isn't he? Epcot is supposed to be a unique place celebrating certain things regarding the future, communication, technology, culture, etc. It is not really about Disney films or the film franchises that Disney has a right to use. If IPs...

The point is a lot of these rides aren't particularly good but they're green-lighted anyway because they are based on films. Disney and Universal feel that people are attracted to certain films (in fact any films, Avatar was hardly a fan favourite) and that's the pulling power rather than the...

This is obviously old news but it’s the first time i’ve heard it. If true then it is indefensible. Indiana Jones as a land has absolutely no place at Animal Kingdom. To actually ruin the theming totally just to make a quick buck (AGAIN) is shambolic and sums up the state of Disney now and...
