    Let's go to Disney World in 1973

    No cell phones with shots of people rudely putting their phones in your field of view to get "their shot" of the same thing that millions of people have taken before. The more "unique" your photo, the more it is the same. How many videos are they're of any rides at Disney? Thousands. I don't see...

    LendingTree survey - 45% of Disney-Going Parents With Young Children Have Gone Into Debt for Trip

    It's funny, the general proposed theory is that "raising ticket prices will keep out the riff-raff out." Never really understood that philosophy since "riff-raff" can be at all economic levels. I think many people who can't pay for the trip outright feel their kids' vacations are once in a...

    Unpopular opinions about the parks?

    The "New" Figmund is terrible. The "New" Test Track is terrible. Taking down "World of Motion", bad idea. Minnie Vans, really? Demise of the Magical Express bad idea. The "new" Las Vegas-styleless mega-hotels, a bane on the low landscape. The "New" Reedy Creek Improvement District is allowing...

    What is the best ride you have ever been on?

    Walt's masterpiece, Pirates at Disneyland. Galaxy's Edge is the next in that evolution.

    Left Or Right?

    The major "department" stores in malls did a study on this years back and found most people went to the right. It may have to do with driving habits or something else like right vs. left handed. You'll find in surviving department stores and supermarkets that the marketing is more designed to a...

    5th gate anyone.......?

    "Possibility of a fifth park" Politics is now involved in this business venture. Sounds like too much government oversight to me. I'd love to copy and paste my 5th gate, but the ink is getting thin: "RetroDisney®" All the old bygone rides in one theme park. MEH?

    POFQ refurbishments for some rooms starting soon:

    They did some major renovations about 5 years back or so. The rooms weren't musty anymore and the exterior repaints were brighter and landscaping was cut back some to make it less "dreary". Although a Bayou Cemetery was somewhat the original atmosphere. The Bayou area is really nice and they...

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I've always liked Eric Idle, but this rendition of Journey Into Imagination has been.......awful. Briefly cute and mildly amusing but a shadow of its former self. I'm sure they have all the original plans, drawings and drafts. Please, bring it back so we can all move on. The lines at this...

    Polynesian Resort.....The final nail in the coffin ?

    Just another Biff's Pleasure Palace on Disney property. They are ruining the resort by going too profit bearing. Soon they'll be just shy of the Strip in Vegas. When does Mickey's Cheese Casino get built? If true, it is just more disappointment on a pile of past piles.

    5th Gate for Disney World

    What was the name of the park in Virginia? Disney's America? How about GodBlessAmeripark©? No, the patriotic theming is tired. (ie Freedomland in New York, Great American Theme Park, etc., etc.) Or something real like Eatandspendalotwhiledrinkingingwine Park-shortened to EP? RetroDisney© -...

    Wastewater Treatment Plant

    Is it good to be well known?? Well, here we are almost 10 years later........ Unless done properly, CoGen can be messy and expensive basically cancelling out any savings as far as digester methane recovery. The GE picture I'm looking at still shows Disney's plane on property which dates it in...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Oh, I forgot one more thing, Park Hopping, bring it back (Like Anne Heche in 6days/7nites requesting her money back from Harrison Ford) So will Disney tear my ticket in half?

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    I wish for the old Figment Ride, Journey Into Imagination, restoration of the food plan, return of the Magical Express, resurrection of Horizons, return Test Track to original more-relevant ride, repaint those hideous, new Vegas-style casino hotels and the ever-elusive pipedream of lower prices...
