    News Gideon's Bakehouse May Be Cooking Up New Venture at Disney Springs

    I like the idea of something savory instead of sweet... Looks like it will be great....wonder if it will be open by June... At this point, shouldn't they just open a full restaurtant themed like the bakehouse in the Tim Burton-esque style? If there was one, I am sure we would eat there... Would...

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    or ever... I am sure the outdoor queue for HM will be extended past the house and that whole area will get wider... it will be a huge bypass around HM and on to the new areas... I would imagine the clear walkway would be about the width of the esplanade around the ROA just continuing... HM Queue...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    now that you mention it....even as a kid I wondered why the graveyard descent outside of the mansion did not architecturally match the exterior of the building.... Seems like just direct-lifting the setting from Disneyland was not the best idea....and it would not be riduculously hard to fix...

    News Gideon's Bakehouse May Be Cooking Up New Venture at Disney Springs

    years and decades ago they used to sell cookies at the LBV Marketplace that were similar soft doughy cookies... It is like Gideons picked up the torch...lol While I am not a HUGE fan of the soft doughy cookie, I think they are fun...the cakes are pretty good and it is a fun experience (except...

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    For Safety Reasons? The shaking walls were well off the track, The Falling Rocks were half models on armatures in a tableau well away from the track... I don't think this was ever a safety concern...more like required more maintenance... There was also an effect with a gold vein opening up in...

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I wonder if they could just remove Odyssey completely and turn that entire area into a Pavilion spanning South America and Mexico... multiple thematic areas and attractions...It is probably too small for all of that.....

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    It is a shame they never constructed an actual Tip Top Club dining experience... That could have been an amazing thing... Fully fleshed out Art deco ballroom with a separate set of elevators with a separate entrance... The Space elevator restaurant is OK, but I would prefer to dine at the...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Just when I think it has healed, someone always scratches the scab off.....lol I think it is a colossal mistake of such enormous proportions the park will never be the same again..... But people will keep going no matter what....even when they fill in what is left of the waterways in the hub to...

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    Sadly Tortuga is not nearly big enough for that....It is actually pretty tiny with Tall Tale Cafe taking all of the seating areas...

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Ok, but what if, in the main indoor plaza of the Mexico Pavilion, on the hour a curtain would draw back from one of the 2nd story balconies overlooking the Plaza and the 3 Cabs would sing a song... or patial song... That would keep them there in the Mexico Pavilion, and add a new thing to see in...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Let's be real...a Villains Hotel would never be scary...it would have subtle design touches....and with whoever is designing the hotels for Disney these days, it would be extremely subtle... not scary... Fantasy Springs hotel with some Villains portraits here and there.... Your kids would not be...

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    RE: Tortuga, instead of bad mexican food, why are they not doing Caribbean food...snack sized things like empanadas, Plantain chips with Mojo, Mofungo, and other caribbean finger foods... Give it a real regional flair...a sort of permanent Eggroll cart with Caribbean food... Lord knows there are...

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    I don't believe you would even have to get that close to the Jungle Cruise itself... Most of the decor and enhancements could be within the actual Caribbean Plaza area...things like they have done before where there are masts and sails mounted behind the buildings but tall enough to be seen over...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    A gorgeously creepy Villains Hotel would be much less of a gamble than the Galactic StarCruiser disaster was... I think it would pretty much be an assured hit. Though with the new 6 thousand room Lakeside Lodge, will they even need another hotel for years to come?
