    Trip Report - Overview of My Trip To WDW 8/23 - 8/25

    Yea, I even spoke with a few WS CMs, they were saying they just couldn't get stuff imported; Italy, Germany etc

    Trip Report - Overview of My Trip To WDW 8/23 - 8/25

    Yea, as a big 'metch' guy, the products have been lacking. I hope it's only because of covid. I love attraction-specific merch, and outside of HM and a few others, there's none. If they made it, we'll buy it lol.

    Trip Report - Overview of My Trip To WDW 8/23 - 8/25

    Hey Everyone! I recently returned from WDW and I wanted to share my trip report. I always loved reading other's reports, so I thought mine would help for anyone looking to head to the parks in the near future. So, without further delay, here is a quick breakdown of my trip to WDW; the ups...

    Hours? Why do the parks close so early (pre/post Covid)?

    So because of staffing? But doesn't the crowd being there spending $ justify that?

    Hours? Why do the parks close so early (pre/post Covid)?

    Hey there! I remember when I was a kid (I'm 33 now), the WDW Parks were open way later then they are now; in the pre/post covid era. I remember the MK in the summer being open past 1 am. Now, it closes sometimes as early as 10pm in the summer. What's the reasoning behind this? It can't be low...

    News Disney updates its legendary Four Keys model to include a fifth key

    While reading this, I was wondering about people with weight/size issues and getting on attractions. If someone is too large for an attraction, how does inclusion work? It's clearly a safety thing, which comes first, but why even add inclusion in the first place? Nothing a CM could do could...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    One of the problems I have with this announcement, is all the other stuff that should supercede it: Carousel of Progress (fix or replace) , monorails all need tlc, Tomorrowland in DL, all the epcot construction and the attractions in that park, dinoland usa...obviously they scooted the...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    True, but disney uses actual people from those areas most of the time. It's more of a celebration of their culture, so I think they are safe. But with cancel culture...idk

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    This was addressed years ago when it was 'Dixie Landings.' They rewrote the backstory and everything to be more appropriate and reworked it into Port Orleans French Quarter.

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Do you think it's fair to assume people who don't agree with this change are racists? Or, possibly, could they be justifiably upset at this announcement? Considering you're a new member, you should consult some previous discussions about this topic because this isn't a new thing. Certainly would...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Considering the amount of maintenance that is needed throughout the resort, this has to be low on the totem pole. The monorails need work, Carousel of Progress, Spaceship Earth, Tomorrowland in general (especially in DL).... They've really painted themselves in a corner. Someone is...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    I look to Walt's Disneyland opening speech "Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America…with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. " Looks like people want to avoid 'hard facts'

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    My heart is broken over this. I understand why they did it. I'm sure the change will be done very well. This was such a beloved attraction, and a few weeks of outcry erased it. It feels like they are trying to erase their history; the movie, music, characters are now all gone. I stand by my...
