    Litany of 2026 parks / resorts deals - is this unprecedented?

    This isn't exaclty what this thread is about but maybe 3 is a trend? Last year I moved theme park days from WDW to Epic. This year I'll be in Florida for a convention and I'm skipping WDW and doing Universal instead. It will be my first visit to Florida since my first in 2011 when I am not...

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    I know Disney temporary will mean it's there for 10 years minimum but in a park with not loads to do I'd rather they use the vacant land for what I am sure will be a high quality production versus it's left empty until the plot of land is required.

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Looking at it I'd guess this is just a mock up of the size/shape of what is going to be built to help them visualise the final structure.

    First Trip to Disney Paris- Which Hotel

    Works have already started on one of the lodges so I'd guess they will be completed first (if you are looking to try and get a refurbished room for a future trip) however I have no idea when the common areas refurbishment will be done. It's logical - but maybe too logical - to say they would be...

    Question about Booking a Reservation

    Someone else please correct me but I don't think anything bad would happen if you just but your 17 year old down as a 3rd adult? As you say for all intents and purposes he is treated as an adult from a cost perspective? Alternatively you are able to add a Meal Plan on after you have purchased...

    News 5 lawsuits filed against Universal and Mack Rides over Stardust Racers injuries

    After the Stardust incident I've realised coaster in Florida have such a weird barometer of what is rough or violent or intense that puts them in their own sub-category from the rest of the world. I don't class myself as a roller coaster enthusiast (as I prefer themed parks) but I've probably...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    I think Eddie is a shock because he was so engaged with the community and active on socials until very recently. I think he was the greatest vocal online champion of DLP from the founding Imagineers and will be greatly missed for that contribution.

    DCL Buys Unfinished Mega Cruise Ship - Genting Golden Dream ???

    Except evidence is they aren't selling out the new ships. Indeed they are nowhere near selling out these ships like they did pre-COVID. Yes it is all yield management as there are now discounts on nearly every cruise out of Florida to some extent along with much wider open discounts at select...

    Universal UK

    Of note this would be a second train station. Wixams is going ahead and being redesigned as a 4 platform station to meet the projected demand. This station is not tied to the opening of Universal UK so may open afterwards.

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    I agree. I've ridden Stardust and a few other Macks since the accident with the same restraint type system and have no idea how someone could reach the points Kevin did conscious or unconscious. However having read the report now I think the broken femur and dislocated hip really played into...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    I have no deep knowledge on this issue but online I read via French translation that the ONET contract was up for renewal or ending. So it is possible they will be moving to a new contractor.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    It a new version of the previous Dream Factory show which I think premiered during COVID. Dream Factory replaced a Disney Junior show, it's in the theatre in the same building as Stitch Live.

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    I really hope they fill the ride with Easter eggs like this amongst all of the Indy props.
