    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    I think that is just a marketing spin... knowing it looks awful and was a bad idea, we will finally change it back and then say something about magic and dreams.... lol

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    That is the crane for the Imagineering team to take paint samples from the turrets in the pre-dawn light so they can then take those samples to many European castles to compare the color value and density....before they begin the new paint job....which should start sometime in 2027

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

    It needs to have some teeth...but walk the line so it is not too scary...Disney used to be able to do this... Villains Land can and should be the spot in the park that is more geared towards the tween-adult audience.... Of course all done with humor and gorgeous immersion.... I don't think there...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    I think when the Value Resorts are all well over $200/nt they are no longer a value...I guess compared to the "Moderate" Resorts which are now often more expensive than a nice Marriott anywhere else...

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    The new Imagineering episode about the castles was a bit ridiculous... It was a 25 minute commercial and word salad about dreams and magic... When they were asking one of the Imagineers about the Shanghai castle it was an incomprehensible mélange of buzzwords carefully crafted by the marketing...

    Universal eats Disney's lunch at GTA

    Seems like Disney doesn't care.....and I believe they think the Epcot Hub is fine and not worth being concerned about.... And The Zach has moved on higher in the company and everyone patted themselves on the back for a job well done...There are plenty of people out there that will gladly defend...

    It was wildly popular for years...... and then they decided to make it family friendly... I remember lines wrapping around the building for it.

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    I think Swan and Dolphin are outside of the Disney Resorts....so they are not counted in a lot of ways..... They also lack any decent quick serve...Unless they have completely redone the space, Picabu was terrible, The Fountain is small but OK, They have a coffee shop and I am not sure what the...

    MK Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

    Perhaps they should invest some money and bring the building up to code...while putting in a new attraction for the entrance to Tomorrowland...I guess the gift shop and ice cream place would also have to be replaced.... And the People Mover would also be down for the 5 years it would take them...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    It was charming....as was the river vista for that whole quadrant of the park... The Riverboat was a lovely break from the crowds.... THe ROA and TSI were never about volume....though in the early days they sure did their share... They were the special attractions that were not a mob scene that...

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    Well....the Muppet Show didn't go national until 1976...other than that, they were a small regional show in the DC area..... So, in the national public sphere for 49 years....
