I noticed something new at Maelstrom yesterday that I'd never heard before and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Just after the lift hill and the narration about the "spirit of the seafarer" I heard a new line mentioning something more about the relationship to the sea. I must have...

That's a really silly thing to say. Just remember, if NexGen fails, Bob Iger still walks away with millions, but the hundreds of cast members whose jobs rely on this project being successful would be sent to the unemployment lines. There's more at stake with this project then just a CEO's ego...

While I get what you're trying to say, and I agree with the premise, this post is borderline insulting. The 35W bridge disaster was not due to a lack of engineers, there was much more to it. 13 people lost their lives, not a hundred, and it happened in August, which in Minnesota is far from...

Just got a chance to see it in person a few times. Personally, I like it! I think it adds a bit if creepiness that Pirates needed. I actually think the wrecked boat helps because it puts the focus on the mermaid skeleton. I made a point to listen to the guests around me, and I heard nothing bit...

Apparently now based on the repsonses I've been seeing I'm now unsympathetic to families with individuals with disabilities. I truly apologize if I have offended anyone, that was certainly not my intent. Much like any issue, I think the concept that needs to be addressed is balance. How does...

This is similar to what I had expected too. I think a multimedia "show" where Belle and her magical friends can tell her story would have been much more inclusive than watching a bunch of confused toddlers play with cutouts, hoping they stay interested long enough to complete the semblance of a...

I think a 3rd resort would only cannibalize from the other American resorts if built in the south. However, I do think that a northern resort would allow guests who maybe can't make the trip to FL or CA the opportunity to visit. I think Disney missed out on a great opportunity a few years back...

After viewing the video, I have to say that I believe the cast member is completely in the right on this one. Regardless of the degree of danger moving during the theater presentation poses, there is still a chance. As such, the cast member has the right to use any means necessary to ensure the...

In this particular situation I'm not sure I agree with you're comparison. I agree that that situation is really annoying, but as a comparison its a bit of a different context. I think a better analogy would be a vehicle in a HOV lane coming to a merge point back to regular traffic. That...

I would think that Disney probably could reasonably argue that a person who wears a costume too close to a Disney character in that context could pose a safety hazard to guests. Disney spends a great deal of time and money on the logistics of character greetings. To have a handful of...

As a golfer who has played at Disney quite a few times, all I can say is I hope not. This may not be a reflection of courses with caddies everywhere, but in my experience, having caddies would only slow things down. Honestly, golf at Disney, at least the times I've played it, has been...

I'm pretty sure It's a Small World is considered an e-ticket. At least it was when the e-tickets were around.

From the Florida Fish and Wildlife Dept... "Boating Safety Education ID Card Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 who operates a vessel powered by 10 horsepower or more must pass an approved boater safety course and have in his/her possession photographic identification and a boating safety...

I knew I had seen something like that before, I couldn't remember where, excellent find!

Normally I would agree with this, but the only problem I have is a concern expressed by an earlier post. Every piece of marketing made surrounding E:E, including Travel Channel specials, national commercials, internal resort TV, and countless others have shown E:E to feature a mammoth swiping...
