I was wondering the same thing. Also with the castle refurb, EPCOT’s construction, and the Tron coaster if their construction schedules can be accelerated because crews will have unlimited access and no down time or noise restrictions due to guests. I know that material delivery schedules are...

You should see Kansas in the spring. The ranchers out west burn thousands of acres of grassland to rejuvenate the flint hills for grazing. Nature used to do it naturally but now it’s managed by man. We got smoke a hundred miles to the east in KC a few weeks ago so bad it looked like LA in the...

My first visit was when I was ten in 1982/83. EPCOT Center had just opened and the lines around spaceship earth went around 5-6 times and the wait was hours long. Imaginations upstairs was incredible for a creative ten year old boy, and I was mesmerized by the jumping fountains outside. The 3D...

Chef Mickey’s for sure. We’ve had poor service/ character experiences at Ohana the last two visits last May and 2016. Characters were very slow to come and quick to leave. We had actually finished eating and had been given our check before we saw LILO, Stitch, or Pluto. The server hinted that...

Walt's people mover lives! Slightly different operating system (no tracks) and 40 years late but I think he'd be happy.

On one trip, I think on 2010/11 my wife and I asked for a king bed at Pop and lucky for us they had only one available after a ton of time looking on the booking computer. Problem was it was a handicap room and there was a king bed but it was about a foot off the floor, there was only a giant...

1982 first trip and new EPCOT Center.

Honestly, even trapped in a class 3 hurricane at WDW is better than a day at work. If I had to choose one spot I'd pick the Tiki Room as long as aloha isle is open. If DL's flame tree BBQ was there it would be perfect!

I've been away for awhile doing the DL thing so I've missed a lot. In the posts and news releases about the new Star Wars rides months ago there was mention of a dark ride where the visitor is taken through a battle between the resistance and the new order in a ride vehicle. The art work looks...

For me I think it comes down to history vs grandness. WDW was my first Disney and I have been there many times. I just did Disneyland for the first time this Christmas and it was really fun, but not really magical except for the kindness of three great cast members? Main Street is so historic...

Maybe a good stout or a well aged whisky but definitely not everclear. Too much body and too murky.

Upstairs at Columbia Harbor House, Maharajah Jungle Trek, boat trip from POR to Disney Springs, back patio of Tamu Tamu Refreshments, the view from Swiss Family Tree House, quiet spot between POC and Splash, cruising the Liberty Belle and Tom Sawyers Island, all the World Showcase shows and...

She retired.

All of this just seems totally un American.

I agree, that would be great and more along the lines of what EPCOT was built for.
