Build the new, Update the old. For new is silver. The old is gold.

Pay, or don't pay. Go, or don't go. That is your choice. If you want the experience, you have to be willing to pay for it; whatever it costs. We will not be going, but not because of this latest fee. We decided last year we would not be returning anytime soon because of what we call the big...

KatieBug posts are like the Energizer Bunny----they just keep going and going and going. You think the forum has died a natural death, but, wait, there it is again supplying newer members a chance to air their opinions. At this point it seems as if KatieBug will become a forum folk legend...

I have absolutely no idea if the fountain will return or not. Personally, I wouldn't bet on it. If the area is crowded or relatively quiet depends on when you are there. We have seen it both ways. Since we have been frequent visitors to The Magic Kingdom for over forty years we have noticed...

There is a T shirt that says "I have to stop asking people how stupid can you get? Thay seem to be taking it as a challange." Things actually seen over the years: A father hanging his young son by his ankles over the edge of the Grand Canyon so he could take a picture straight down, Or a...

The thing is that societies change and what people think they want also changes a good deal dependent on what information is available to them. Many of us remember the parks from the seventies through to the past few years and we see the changes, both good and bad. We remember the parks when...

Oh heck. Spirit, I will greatly miss your "Spirited" forums as they are the only ones I read with any regularity (and once in a great while throw in a comment) despite their convoluted derailments. They, through the various posters, have been informative, supply insights of various kinds and...

Actually, I've always pictured a room staffed with Ferengi (for all you young-uns, think Star Trek) studying crowd movement in the Disney parks looking at what groups of people are doing for free which could be turned into revenue producing events or cost an extra fee..

Depending on your personality, personal preferences and sense of humor, the map can be actually funny, mildly amusing, offensive or just plain stupid. In any case, it certainly isn't worth much more than a thought or two, and certainly not worth getting your knickers twisted, unless you have...

I do not want to start a debate about ECVs as this topic has been more than thoroughly covered in other forums. However, I do have one observation to make. The reason you do not see ECV's in the other Disney parks is because the USA, to a large extent, is handicapped friendly while most other...

While I am a fan of your posts and am interested in the information you provide, I do wish you would stop ragging on about ECVs and wheelchairs. Yes, there is a percentage of users who take advantage of them and/or do not know how to use them, but there is a percentage of people who will take...

Good Grief ! It's the fascinating saga of clean sheets and water pitchers at thirty paces. Just to throw in a bit of practical thinking, wouldn't it be better to have a survey that asks the forum readers if they tip housekeeping at the Disney hotels., YES or NO., rather than if they tip daily...

To me one of the major problem with this whole philosophy of "out with the old and in with the new" is that with ever increasing crowds, by just changing an existing attraction, you end up with a net gain of ZERO. Plus, they also close or eliminate attractions altogether and the gain is less...

Thank You.

I hope we are never bidding against each other. If you are diabolically evil, so am I. If I really want something, I play the game in live time and usually win it.. Like a spider hiding in the wood work watching the bidding and then putting in a bid in the last 2 or so seconds. No, I do not...
