    Does this come with or without plastic straws --- LOL

    Restaurants, how many and your most and least favorite

    The only restaurant that still rates high on our list is Tiffins (just went to the Turf Club at Saratoga Springs and it still has the best Prime Rib in WDW). So many we used to enjoy that are now disappointments like the Boathouse in Disney Springs. The one that is now totally unacceptable, in...

    Liberty Tree Tavern slight changes

    The original menu had ham, was really disappointed when they went to the pork. Have not eaten here in over 10 years, so maybe we will give it another chance.

    News Sprinkles Cupcakes Disney Springs Location Reportedly Facing Imminent Closure

    So my wife and I stopped once to try it out. The cupcake was ok, not super great that left us saying let's try this again. It was more like, nice but for the price we can take a pass. The only surprise to me is that it took so long for the end to come, though I always feel a little sad when a...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    This is interesting info--if so why only one year?? The TV ratings are low and the program is bleeding money. Iger may have approved, but he will be gone in a few months. This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with profitability. If the show was making money I would be the...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    The question has been who will be the next CEO. Dana has just extended Jimmie Kimmel for a year. Not sure this is the best move for Disney to make. Would it not just be better to move on from this personality? I think Josh is probably measuring his new chair for the executive office--he...

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    Good question. The original Disneyland was/is approx 98 acres, so if Villains is 10.5 acres it represents over 10% of the total land used in Disneyland. It is and never was about the size of the land But the quality of the attraction.

    News Bob Iger Outlines Disney's Growing AI Strategy

    Dana coming from the studio sector will definitely kill AI to appease the actors/writers of the Hollywood crowd. Not so sure about Josh as he might see how AI could help him save millions in labor costs at the parks. As I have said before, not a fan of either of these two (I preferred Dana...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Not technically true--May and June are also big Hurricane months. I have been going to WDW late May/early June for 15 years now and on 2 occasions have played a little hide and seek from hurricanes but have been lucky enough to always gotten out of Dodge before one hit.

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Yes, Disney could be bought by the right entity--but who would want this mess of a company that does not know what it wants to be? As for Netflix, it just has too much debt already to pull this off.

    When are you going to fix that yeti?

    Those of us who are older and saw the original will always be disappointed in the current state. Last year went with my then 7 year old grand son and he loved the ride--forced us to take him on it 3 times. We see things thru different eyes, if you do not know better it is not a disappointment.

    TEA Global Attendance Index is out

    An increase is an increase--rather have the slight Disney increase than the Universal decrease--important these numbers represent 2024 not the current 2025 attendance. The least surprising numbers to me are the EPCOT numbers. EPCOT has 2 very popular festivals--Flower and Garden, Food and...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Just a little different take. No matter who is picked, there will be many who will point out the pimples. There is no perfect prospect, there is no one who is even a descent prospect. There is only the best of an uninspiring bunch of prospects. So for once, I am not going to be sarcastic on...

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I heard the land was designed by Imagineers who never stepped foot in WDW. They had no clue as to the heat and humidity in Florida. Can anyone confirm this rumor? If so, what a tragic mistake.

    Baby boomers are were born between 1946 and 1964, there are approx 73 mill alive or just over 20% of the US Population. That is still a lot of people who grew up with the Disney pixie dust in their eyes. On a sad note, there are only approx 66,000 WWII veterans still with us. As the son of...
