    Honest opinion on Aoa?

    I found the Mermaid rooms to be fine- they are really not that small. The beds were however a problem for me as they are both narrower and shorter than the beds at PO. The pool at AoA is pretty large and the grounds are all pretty fun. The food court and amenities are great and the experience...

    Bag Check for arriving to MK by boat from Wilderness Lodge?

    Not long since been back from WL. As mentioned above its right at the exit of the dock. Always found it to be quick and painless.

    Favorite Ride Soundtrack

    My favourite would be spaceship earth, especially when the Earth comes into view at the top of the ride. Splash mountain and space mountain probably are my second and third favourites.

    Water Parks EMH gone?

    I am currently at the World at pofq for the last day of our 14 day vacation. I have been disappointed by what I have experienced and a lot of it seems to be cutbacks. I know now is not the best time to go but we are restricted by university and school holidays. We were Disappointed by the...

    The one thing you really enjoy doing(going) But get Family Resistance

    Space Mountain always takes some persuasion for the rest of the family. Not a chance my mother would go on it and my father finds it a bit too rough and violent for his tastes (despite Kraken, Hulk and Dragon challenge being absolutely fine). I imagine when I go in July it will be myself and...

    Blog Flume - What should Disney do with EPCOT

    Its ironic that the greatest thing about EPCOT, I.E. Inspiring discovery, is also its greatest downfall and would make it a nightmare for Disney to maintain. None more so than future world as it would require frequent updates to stay relevant unlike World Showcase where you could leave more time...

    Early Morning or Late Nights?

    Definitely a late night owl. Disney just seems more magical for me at night. When the parks are not quite so hot, its generally quieter since a lot of younger families go home but best of all I just think the themeing is just plane better at night. I especially love tomorrow land at night. Big...

    Impact of ride refurbishments

    The news that splash mountain will be closed for the first three months of 2013 for refurbishment got me thinking. Splash mountain has been my favourite ride at WDW since I first visited and I cannot think of a ride I would be more disappointed in finding out would be closed during my holiday...

    Your last night at what park?

    In the past we always started our holiday and finished at the magic kingdom park, its probably my favourite park and its the park which sums up Disney for me. Normally the last ride of the holiday is splash mountain. It also helps that it is often open the latest as well!

    What part of an attraction would you pick to get stuck at?

    Last time at Disney I got stuck on splash mountain at 4am during extra magic hours. I got on the last log of the day, upon arrival at the station after the first time around we managed to get another go which at the time seemed fantastic. It was all going well until the ride broke down just...

    Worst Ride in all of Disney Ever? Your opinion

    I quite like the ride in the Mexican pavilion although I do think its been ruined since it was re-themed, it used to be a relaxing ride. For me the worst rides would have to be stitch (especially considering it replaced the amazing alien encounter), the enchanted tiki room or the Narnia walk...

    Longest Disney drought

    Last time I went was back in 2007... However, literally just booked for next year so very excited :D . This has been the longest gap between visits so far.

    Favorite "mountain" :)

    Splash mountain for me. Its the longest ride for your queue, has fantastic views, great theming and in my opinion the most intense. It also fills me with nostalgia from earlier trips to WDW. Everest is a close second overall. Thunder mountain is good but I prefer the one at Disney Land Paris...

    Which Park Needs Expansion? DAK or DHS

    Would have to vote DHS. When I first went to Disney in 1999 it was my second favourite disney park but the lack of any new major atractions (minus Rock n' Rollercoaster) is a bit depressing really... On the other hand animal kingdom has gone from strength to strength and now rivals magic kingdom...

    What is your favorite Queue?

    Have to say this is a very interesting topic. Space mountain comes straight to mind. I haven't been since 2007 but the 'star tunnel' music is quintessential Disney. Pirates of the Caribbean as mentioned above is another highlight. The light breeze, the music and the lighting give rise to some...
