Can you even call it a ride?

Although a recent change, I greatly miss the old barnstormer because the portion of the ride through the barn with "chickens" (which I indeed thought were real when I was younger) is now gone. Now the ride is a little blah...

Thank you for the correction; however it does not change the fact that few in America have knowledge of the film and therefore my point remains valid.

I would disagree that just because kids don't know the story that the story in the ride is then rendered useless and non-entertaining. Take Splash Mountain, for example. The ride is based on a movie which almost no one has heard of (Song of the South) because Disney cancelled the production of...

FP+: Making long lines for rides that never had lines before

Normally, I would wish to keep characters out of World Showcase rides. However, I am aware that Maelstrom is incredibly inaccurate on Norwegian folklore and history. If it isn't obvious enough to the average US citizen, I have heard complaints about it from someone who goes to Norway quite...

Thanks so much! One more quick thing- when I use that link, it won't let me type letters into the reservation id, but letters are in my idea so I can't go through that stage. Any tips?

I believe it's actually related. By giving us Magic Bands for MM+, they can track where we are in the park. This means that they know the names of the guests who are meeting Mickey. I heard that eventually they want to use this to have Mickey and other characters say your name when talking to...

My family was wondering about getting Fastpass+ for BOG during lunch. There is a button for it on the BOG screen on the Disney site, however it just takes you into the MyMagic+ control screen, which won't let us select this. We made our reservations one week after it became available for our...

Universal isn't cheap, either. I would bet the difference is not that large. I, personally, found Universal to be a bore. I am very young compared to most people on this site, and the rollercoasters were just not thrilling. Disney's staging provides the thrills, something Universal lacks...

Gray will also be popular I'm sure not only because it's the default, but because it's the only neutral color available. None of the other colors will work with every single one of my outfits, so I went with the gray. Colors are great for little kids, but I have a feeling adults will generally...

My family has been selected to do fastpass+ in late October. I don't believe we were ever notified of this; the fastpass+ option just showed up on the Disney page. Whether you are chosen or not is determined by which hotel you stay at I believe

I was thinking about all of the upcoming expansions expected to occur at WDW (SW, RSR, Avatar) in the future. Then a sudden idea for a Mary Poppins ride at DHS popped into my head. It could start like Peter Pan, with a moving walkway to enter the ride from. The area would be more curved though...

Even if they're the same, they feel completely different. The right is sooo much better. The drop feels longer. The left seems much less tame and not nearly as much fun. I always ask to go on the right side.

I agree.. and the intense version seems no different to me. I think they've toned the intense version down, too, a bit
