    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Wisdom? I mean, penguins choose to live in Antarctica which is not pleasant come June/July. KIDDING. So serious. No, seriously, I don't want a penguin army showing up with rocket launchers around my house.

    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    Agreed. The screens can be used effectively to establish the setting/background (like River Journey) but with physical sets/animatronics to be the focal point. Rides like Remy or MMRR are good enough for what they are/do but another great boat ride with high capacity would be awesome for Moana.

    Is the GF to Poly path open?

    Exactly. They prefer to ambush from the water. I watch for one just to see one but not because of any degree of concern/caution.

    Just reading this today. This is my favorite Guardians song with "September" being a close second.

    Is the GF to Poly path open?

    Heavy crowds for 23rd april week onwards? Still Spring Break? Think I messed up

    Go to TouringPlans.com and they show the expected crowd calendar for the days. You can go into each park and see what those estimates mean in terms of wait times. As @GhostHost1000 stated, the timeframe for your visit is around the "5" level, which is usually fine. You won't be in the crazy...

    Rank the 9 roller coasters at Walt Disney World

    Despite my initial objections to placement, I love Guardians. It has a good storyline and the coaster is great and so different. Everest is a fun coaster and has great theming. BTMR is fun and also a great layout and theme. I put 7DMT ahead of TRON because the coaster is fun and has the nice...

    Pre-Trip 3 Kids, 3 Birthdays, 3 Resorts what could go wrong?!?!

    Enjoy and have a great trip. The weather here in Ohio won't be anything to brag about. I'm just jealous because, when we went in February, Florida decided to play it cool. As in, the temperatures stayed in low 60's.

    BRV Stay & Fireworks Viewing

    From the Wilderness Lodge, the most I have seen has been the fireworks that reach highest into the sky. However, watching the fireworks from the bridge between Contemporary and Bay Lake is a great unimpeded view. I think that there are balconies elsewhere on the Contemporary tower that offer...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Maybe a cast member keeps sneaking in and turning on the loop and it runs until someone else hears and goes and changes it back. Kind of like two kids fighting over the radio channel.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    The original artwork showed driving through trees with fake sunlight. Taking Test Track into where you are driving through various climates or scenes could be a lot of fun with a focus on how technology allows the drives to be enjoyable.
