    News Jellyrolls Announces Departure from Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

    It would work well in Downtown Orlando or Winter Park. Downtown had Howl at the Moon for many years that was a popular spot. A lot of redevelopment getting ready to get going along Church Street with the Westcourt project getting ready to break ground with a new concert hall outside the Kia Center.

    News 40 New Restaurants and Shops Coming to MCO: 4Rivers, Otto's High Dive, and More

    These are great selections to represent Orlando along with the existing Cask and Larder. The new terminal C already has great choices. Summer House has great food and atmosphere for an airport restaurant. Forgot for a minute that I was at the airport when eating there.

    Gideon's Bakehouse vs. The Cake Bake Shop: Disney's Best Bakery for Cake and Cookies?

    My kids can get a chocolate chip cookie that looks like that from the Publix bakery each visit for free.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    This definitely expands capacity at the Magic Kingdom with the number of guests enjoying the cars and villain's attractions vs TSI and the Riverboat so that is a good thing. Also, I think this will help with parade viewing and the guests trying to get around those watching the parade from a...

    How have the crowds been for the main viewing area? Do you have to get there early?

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    I think they are saving their super heroes for a fifth gate (ie. Marvel + Incredibles & Big Hero Six). I think a "Heroes and Villains" park would be a great 5th gate. I think the villains talk at MK is a decoy for something else they have planned to gauge interest.

    Big River Grille and Brewing Works to close at Walt Disney World

    It would be a great spot with the boardwalk theme for a locally-owned 4 Rivers BBQ that already has the 4R Cantina food truck at Disney Springs with a different menu - https://www.4rsmokehouse.com/

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Watched the WDWMagic 4K video and this is a much better show than ROE. Stating that, I agree with the posts that state that the ROE musical score was hard to beat and that seems to be the main issue with any faults of the latest shows. Stating all that, I think that Disney should strongly...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    This area was a lot more crowded during the day on June 21st. It may have been related to Juneteenth on Monday, June 19th that is now a three-day holiday weekend for many now. Peoplemover had a 25 minute wait around this time on the 21st.

    Most of the standby lines we waited in last week were close to what was posted during peak hours and Avatar early-entry. The wait times were off towards the end of extended hours (ie. 7D was 20 minutes when it was posted at 45 minutes) and right after a rain storm closure but I feel that is...

    From my standpoint being there for seven days last week, Disney did not appear to have any kind of attendance issues at the parks. Maybe they are no longer getting the post-Covid revenge travel and they are discounting again, but they were very busy. I agree with many others here that Disney...

    Just finishing my final day of six nights at Disney visiting any of the parks for the first time during normal operating hours(I have done a couple of MK After Hours) in 10 years and the crowds seemed to be what I remember 10 years ago. Using G+ at all four parks, we were able to ride all of the...

    Side question: How long do you typically have to wait using the virtual queue once your bg has been called? Trying to decide between VQ and ILL for an upcoming trip.
