    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    And that's only if they don't run into any unforseen issues during the process.

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    However this is not a Disney issue, there a 'misses' on almost every project. Most are minor and can be corrected during construction. But, I have seen some pretty bad ones over the years, and nobody caught them despite multiple reviews by respected design firms and multiple municipal agencies.

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    As a civil engineer, nothing is more entertaining/infuriating than to see people who clearly don't know what they're talking about armchair QB basic engineering and construction issues..

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    While I'm not defending the removal of ROA nor is it a topic for this thread, how could you make any of these statements from a photo of rainwater filling an empty trench? They could be vastly improving the drainage in the finished product and this would still occur during this early phase of...

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    Any open trench will collect water after heavy rainfall, this happens on literally every construction site. I'm not sure how this is news or an example of "boneheadedness", I assure you additional pumping of rainwater after heavy storms is something the construction company accounted for while...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I realize it's a very big longshot, but if they use this to cut the river short put in the same water-front theming they did for the railroad at Disneyland, that could be a huge improvement over the current complete lack of theming that most of the RR has. There is water shown in the Villains...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Well, for those of us that live in NYC and work in Manhattan, we kinda do pay those prices every day. I get prices are much cheaper in most other places in the country, but even local restaurants around my house in Staten Island are the same price point as WDW table service meals.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Yep, I'm from NYC and always found it funny that people complained about there prices when we thought they were fairly reasonable. WDW is actually cheaper than going to a sporting event around here or prices of food stands/restaurants in Manhattan or down the shore.

    Unless I missed something, has this been confirmed yet?

    Unless you are somehow turned into a frog mid-ride? That would also explain away why there's a mountain in the middle of Louisiana..

    News Free Dining Plan announced for Disney+ subscribers at Walt Disney World

    Though with Dining Plans getting more expensive, the 'free dining' does take less to work out in your favor over the resort discount. My family of 5 with a 10yr old and 2 at the kids rate, the TS dining plan would be almost $220/night & QS at $175/night. Of course the real question is would...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I agree that it definitely would have been more successful if they rotated experiences to have an original trilogy itinerary, but the price would have still kept the large majority of the people away who couldn't afford it in the first place. I know we all grew up with episodes 4/5/6, but my...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I dunno, take a look at Comic Con on both coasts and the sheer amount of people that dress up and stay in character. I don't think they underestimated the demand. My kids would have absolutely loved to do this, and I really believe the demand is still out there. It's just the ridiculous price...

    News Disney World's Magic Kingdom is experiencing widescale attraction closures this morning due to a bear

    As a dad with zero intentions of being remotely fashionable and a hatred for carrying bags, I wholeheartedly disagree. Cargo shorts are life.
