Was there this past weekend, October 10-13. Although three of the four tracks were working on Saturday, all trains stopped a little after 5:00 p.m. on Sunday. They were not working when I went back on Monday afternoon either (they were all in the same position as when I saw them stop the day...

This is not the legal standard in either case. If Disney is sued on the POTC issue, it would not have to "prove that it did all it could do to prevent he accident from happening." The burden of proof would be on the plaintiff (he of 8 1/2 fingers) as it is in all civil cases alleging negligence...

I really could not disagree with you more, both with your opinion regarding Mizner's specifically and the monorail lounges/bars generally. Mizner's evokes extremely well the opulence that the Grand Floridian's theme strives for. The pictures you have posted both were taken during broad...

The problem with Kouzzina, frankly, is that it just is not that good or that unique. When it opened, it replaced Spoodles, another "Mediterranean" cuisine restaurant. Besides having a name associated with a famous Iron Chef, the food was not all that different from Spoodles and neither was the...

This is not accurate as of October 6. I was able to put any and all ride and park pictures directly on my Magic Band without any Photopass card. Those pictures then appeared on a new website for Photopass Plus. MyDisneyPhotoPass.com is the new website, as of September 4.

For all of these rumors concerning the Hat's demise, I note that, this past weekend at WDW, I noticed the customization area for Magic Bands in the various stores. One of the extra "bling" packages that you can purchase for your Magic Band are icons for each park: the Castle for MK, Spaceship...

Of course, the fact that OKW and SS are the largest properties may have something to do with availability as well...

Back in the day, when Fulton's was the Empress Lily and home to arguably the best restaurant on property (the Empress Room), the steam and moving paddle wheel made for a visually enticing atmosphere indeed. I still remember walking past the bar area on he way to the Empress Room and looking at...

The addition of Brazil to WS at Epcot does make sense. It would coincide with DCL's renovation of the Disney Magic in transforming Parrot Cay restaurant into the Brazilian-themed Carioca's. Clearly, Disney has identified Brazil as a demographic it wishes to concentrate on/exploit. Generally...

No reason to get off topic or political; however, these individuals are not "home grown." Neither suspect is a United States citizen. The older of the two posted on his Facebook that "he doesn't understand Americans." The younger of the two was quoted as saying that "it isn't terrorism when...

Yes, and as you may recall, the Christmas tree could then be moved back to where it originally was - where the hat now sits! The tree used to look beautiful in front of the theatre and an excellent Christmas train and village used to surround it (not unlike the trains at Epcot's Germany pavilion).

Yikes! Not sure if this has been posted yet (and perhaps it's old news), but apparently three hollowed-out hand grenades were found at Downtown Disney. Here is a link to the story: http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-hand-grenades-downtown-disney-20130102,0,6638564.story

Perhaps this is a distinction without a difference. I may have my decades wrong (could have sworn that it was in the 1990s as opposed to right after 9/11, but heck, I think Green Day has only been around for 10 years, tops!), but at least you recall that Bistro ceased to exist for a period of...

I have a point, and a question: First, to the point. DW and I have always felt that Bistro de Paris served creative and "un-themepark" quality entrees in a beautiful and somewhat hidden setting. The service was professional and the feel of the dining experience was way above that of other...

I am not sure if this is old or recent news, but my masseuse at the Spa at Saratoga Springs told me a few weeks ago that it would be closing for a complete multi-million dollar renovation around the end of December (when the Grand Floridian spa reopened) and would also be a Disney-operated spa...

This is an absolutely fantastic idea and hope that the rumor is true. Introducing Starbucks to each of the four theme parks makes all the sense in the world - it is modern, its quality greatly exceeds that of WDW operated coffee shops and it brings foot traffic and an enthusiastic buzz to areas...

We attended F&W this past weekend and saw multitudes of alcohol/drinking around the world and various other drunk reference t-shirts at the food booths. Everyone was served with a smile; in fact, at Hops and Barles, the CMs used the passport stamp on a number of guests' t-shirts who had various...

How true. Like most sites and blogs, there are hits and misses; however, I distinctly recall that Screamscape was the absolute first site to reveal that the new Disney Dream cruise ship was going to have "a water slide tube that extended over the edge of and around the entire ship," a.k.a. what...

To me, the more concerning aspect of this rumor is that it would once again be an announced attraction/development that is then cancelled, which really does send a concerning message to Disney's fan base. Whether you agree that Avatar would be a good attraction for AK or not, when Disney sets...

I saw them last Saturday night and came away incredibly impressed. Although they don't necessarily dress the part, they are very talented musicians, with good harmonies, played to the crowd and did several "choreographed" songs. The set I saw at 6:00 p.m. included: Start Me Up - Rolling...
