    Florida Resident Disney Vloggers on YouTube

    I lean more towards free speech, so not sure about shutting it down - but that site is really full of miserable folks. From what I've seen, if someone tries to bring up anything remotely positive, they get ganged up on mercilessly by board veterans. It's a place where members' lives are so...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I'm not saying it was life altering , but I definitely prefer the original look without the abundance of banners (even if your banner close ups are really overemphasizing what it actually looked like when there). The fountain of nations was a major upgrade over whatever that potted plant is...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Stating the obvious now of course - but they spent all that money and made a mess of the Epcot spine, feels less symmetrical, more generic - and not materially more futuristic looking even after all that time. They did add a classic Epcot logo (or a version of it with a strange center) - but it...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    I think the center of Epcot and Communicore Hall are a disgrace. Given his persona, I was somewhat disappointed in Josh within his previous role, with some small recent wins in there (Test Track, Epcot Entrance, Frozen Animatronics and Castle repainting since they are not a 'bottom line' driven...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    maybe when they close it for rehab 2 January's from now- depending on budget and what else needs to be fixed

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    I think the problem is that Disney has become ok with 'just fine', as any traditional hotel chain would if they were tasked with this project. They used to separate themselves with creativity and immersiveness that brought us the Contemporary, Poly, GF, WL, AK, BW, etc. Eisner used to hire...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    Josh definitely played the game and fell in line to advance his career and has natural political skill to sharply navigate this with a warm smile - BUT he has some actual love for the parks and parks history according to many....so I have some small hope he is not an Iger clone and will chart...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    Not quite - when he was a commercial director at WDW, not reporting to Iger of course, Pete was impressed with Josh in some contact they had and went on and on about how he carried himself and that he would be CEO someday (which actually was a pretty bold call given how few people get to be CEO...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    Pete Werner called this around 2016 - just saying.

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    I like it - who knew imaginative ideas and designs were possible anymore? I originally wanted something as a nod to River Country, with that whimsical ol' fashioned swimming hole motif (which might be a cousin to Critter Country style), allowing for new creativity with water slides and the...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    Agreed - I don't have faith they can do enough to the outside of this generic giant boxy complex to save it from harming the Bay Lake esthetic (a la Poly Tower). I'm sure it will be a nice enough place to stay but the 'DIsney Difference' is long gone.

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

    Maybe the new animatronic will tell guests to walk this way... Side question - who does the countown now? - Dr Teeth?, Fozzie?, Animal?- Kermit's energy doesn't seem big enough to match the Tyler scream....although he has that double arm wave thing he does if they add a video

    My father passed the same way - and after seeing other relatives deteriorate in a hospital, and the stress that puts on themselves and family to witness, ongoing tests and results, etc - I would concur it's a very peaceful way to go. Not to mention, I'd imagine the end comes with less fear and...

    Adam the Woo

    It's going to be a bit rough after xmas. With the timing of all this, everyone is busy with holiday activities, travel, etc....but I weirdly subconsciously feel like when my routine returns to normal, Adam will again be a part of it. Obviously family and friends have the largest hole in their...

    Adam the Woo

    Don't get me wrong, Adam tragic passing is the most important aspect here obviously, but from a viewers perspective, it has been a tough run of late with some longstanding channels/personalities ending - -Adam -Pete Werner (perhaps self-inflicted and deserved, but he was an entertaining part of...
