    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    If they wanted to give Princess and the Frog its own attraction, could they not have designed and built something new instead of this? If they are going to persist with the re-theme it had better be done to a very high standard. I will seriously miss Splash Mountain.

    News Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom experiencing extended downtime

    Wouldn't mind the attraction being closed if it were making way for something better, don't want to be in a similar position to Stitch at Magic Kingdom where nothing seems to be happening there apart from a few meet and greets. There is plenty of room to expand at the back of the park, so...

    Has Disney Pricing Increases/Atmosphere Cuts Altered YOUR FAMILIES WDW Attendance?

    Couldn't agree more, we used to go every other year and then from 2010 have been limited to once every 3 to 4 years. Our last trip was August 2017 but not sure when we will be back at this stage, the price increases imposed in the last few years (especially the resort parking charges) have been...

    Has Disney Pricing Increases/Atmosphere Cuts Altered YOUR FAMILIES WDW Attendance?

    Absolutely crazy increase, i am assuming that this is because of the introduction of the Skyliner they now believe the resort merit's a higher price point.

    "One And Done" Attractions

    Monsters Inc Laugh Floor for me, it would be fine if they had an opt out feature where you could push a button and not be featured on screen.

    Has Disney Pricing Increases/Atmosphere Cuts Altered YOUR FAMILIES WDW Attendance?

    We haven't been to WDW for the last couple of years, mainly because we've had other things to do but also partially because of cost increases and the disheveled state of the parks due to construction. Since 2010 duration of our stays at WDW shrank from 14 days to 10 days and finally 7 days for...

    Rumor Cinderella Castle turning rose gold for the 50th

    Hopefully they won't go completely over the top with the gold, the castle looks amazing as it is. Something in line with the 50th anniversary decorations from 2005 would probably be OK but could see there being issues with the projection tech used in Happily Ever After.

    Disney Has Lost It's Way - An Article From The Federalist

    I think the article made a few fair points, the issue with overpricing is nothing new but it does seem to have ramped up recently (parking charges at the resorts is my personal bug bear). I don't really have much of an issue with IP being added to the parks, as long as they do so in a fitting...

    Why dislike for Iger?

    I wouldn't say that i have a strong dislike for the guy, but the fact that ticket and hotel prices have gone through the roof since he became CEO wouldn't have made him overly likable to park guests.

    News On-ride PhotoPass comes to the Haunted Mansion

    I wouldn't have minded the POTC photopass if it was positioned to capture guests during drop (like Splash Mountain) rather than before it.

    MuppetVision 3D Issues

    I haven't been since August 2017 and had the same issue back then. It could well be an issue with the glasses as i noticed that the lenses on most seemed to be bent out of shape. Absolutely love Philharmagic but it could do with an update to include one or two new characters and resolve the...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    Don't think noise would be so much of an issue, but i wouldn't be too surprised if they eventually encase the lower portion of the tower in something more aesthetically pleasing as it does look pretty rough.

    Theme Park Game Changers

    I would tend to agree about the wait time, i don't think any attraction is worth anything over a one hour wait, however i have to disagree regarding the HP attractions being better. I think it's all about personal preference but FOP just seems a better overall package than anything else at the...

    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    The problem is however that the parking fee is just the latest in a series of price increases and may be the straw which breaks the camel's back for many would be guests (especially those who drive in order to save money on air fares). I think it's also the fact that we are now expected to pay...

    News WDW Resorts to add fees for parking

    The various price increases implemented over the course of the last few years should have already more than taken parking into consideration.
