Epcot as two parks? Does that not sound like splitting up one problem and making it two problems? If people can't justify spending a day in the park with the two areas together, why would they pay to go to separate parks? I have the Imagineering book and it does have some interesting concept...

Has the internet become a problem for Disney? I ask because it seems that people with the Internet are able to spread their thoughts, good or bad, to other people through the Internet. People who previously could only hear word of mouth through friends and family are now able to go online and...

I'm very curious about this change. If you look, on consecutive Sundays, the 22nd and 29th, they are open until 8 but one week it is Spectromagic at 8 pm and the next it is Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks. Also, the odd bit about Wednesday not being open until 8 pm. If the hours are correct...

Would StormRider (from Tokyo DisneySea) be a good or bad addition to Walt Disney World? If so, where do you think the best placement of such a ride would be? The stronger rumor continues to be EPCOT but could it fit into Tomorrowland at MK just as easily? The only negative for it going...

A Weather pavilion could be done with a Stormrider type ride. Maybe a Soarin' type ride to make it different from the simulator. The weather does seem to pervade our lives and it is quite varied. Much is made of its prediction, study, and general effect on us.

I thought it was supposed to look tacky, mimicking the old roadside attractions in the 1950's. They didn't have audio-animatronics for their dinosaurs. Having said that though, does it look like they dropped the ball in making it look tacky?

Certainly a spellchecker wouldn't hurt your posts. It pains one to read messages that aren't spellchecked. Back to the important subject though, is it necessarily a case of parents taking kids to see the movie multiple times? You're already shelling out a princely sum of money to take your...

I still say John Lasseter is the lynchpin in this whole equation. Steve Jobs may be the financial brains in the outfit but John is certainly the creative one. He does have long standing ties to Disney and I still believe that if Disney felt it was going to lose Pixar, it would make a last ditch...

It wasn't you.

I think it was a post that mention that Ice Age was being developed by Pixar and that is just not the case. Actually, Ice Age's second trailer seems to indicate that it has a little bit of similarity to Monsters, Inc. Crazy looking creatures have to get human back where they belong. As for...

The opening credits were actually a nice set up for the movie. It contained a jazzy theme (which if you noticed, jazz did seem to have a place throughout the movie), set up the idea of the monsters and numerous doors. It was unexpected and different, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I doubt...

Very good summary Mr. P. My take on the situation is that Pixar has some bargaining power but their most well known characters still belong to Disney. A Bug's Life was a great movie but I believe it didn't fare as well at the box office as Toy Story 1 let alone Toy Story 2. We can only wait...

Actually, the door scene had me thinking how they could have been planning the renovation to JiYI to be themed to Monsters, Inc. by have Sully and Mike take you through the doorways into imagination. It would seemingly be very tough to make a ride's vehicles be similar to the door. However, the...

Never say never. Look how close Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain are. Or Rock and Roller Coaster next to Tower of Terror. On a spot that big, you could have the entrance closer to the Fantasyland entrance.

Splash Mountain without a doubt. You get a ten minute ride with a bevy of great songs , thrills in the form of multiple log flume drops, and what I consider the best ending sequence on any ride at WDW. The ending sequence consisting of the big drop followed by a showboat full of A-A characters...
