    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    We all knew this day was coming but it still hurts. Regardless of how people felt about the ride's subject matter, when built this may have been the best thing to over come out of WDI. It is an amazing experience of thrills, music and fun. I am so sad to see it go as I have so many memories...

    Monsieur Paul Reopening Date

    I am so happy my wife and I got to eat here before they got super greedy and made the price GASTRONOMICal. We absolutely loved Monsieur Paul but it is not worth $175 per person. I also find it an odd choice to eliminate kids all together. When we went we saw families dine even without a kid menu.

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

    It is amazing they designed a show in which to get a good view you pretty much had to stand in two places (let alone the Stargate thing was not even aligned with the walkway). Moreover, it destroyed the view from Rose & Crown and other dining options which made bank off of Illuminations. Do...

    News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

    The Moana spinner really is a perfect example at how pathetic this company has become. They want to revamp/re-do an entire are and change Dinosaurs to Moana. For a second assume I think this is a good idea. Let's rebuild an entire land essentially around a spinner (I know the boat ride is the...

    News Happily Ever After fireworks show returning to Magic Kingdom in 2023

    Thank God and now the next decision should be to get rid of Harmonious and bring back Illuminations!

    A Thank You To Our Insiders

    Thanks for the bump. Sadly, since I posted this, we have seen more negative changes. The Poly DVC may be the worst offender as it pretty much links up the Poly and GF which ruins Seven Seas Lagoon plus will loom over the Poly. Also, as seen in other posts most people dislike the new MK...

    Major Grand Floridian Refurbishment

    We heard rumblings about this a few years ago. Changes to Citricos IMHO were decent. The changes to the bar area...not so decent. Losing the orchestra was awful but the new DVC rooms do seem nice. So overall a mixed bag. However, most recent projects (RR I am looking at you) or proposed...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    My biggest issue is how close this new tower will be to the GF complex. It used to be nice how all the hotels around Bay Lake were isolated. Also, the Poly lobby is so crowded as it is - this will make that even more of an issue even with an additional dining option being built. Lastly, I...

    News New World Showcase promenade kiosk coming to EPCOT's France pavilion?

    While I used to hate the stands, now they atleast block out the Harmonious barges!!!

    News Disney World's Splash Mountain closing in January 2022 for refurbishment

    I have never been so excited for a ride refurb! Any glimmer of hope is nice to have when it concerns this ride.

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    I am surprised he did not provide a likely preview: Press Release - November 17th, 2021 4:01 PM Universal Orlando parks announces beyond relaxing mask policy for its own employees, if you bring any Disney mask to the USO campus for shredding you get a free Butterbeer with a paid admission...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    Hello just to throw in my review of Disney Genie plus. We stayed a WDW from November 1st to 7th. Trip consisted of me, my wife, a 3YO, a 9 month old and two sets of grandparents (one pair never went to WDW before) Pros: - Genie Plus shines at the MK. We never waited standby (when it made...

    Shadow laid off at Hilton Head Resort

    I have attached an article which provides some context and describes his Facebook post. It is really getting harder and harder to defend this company. The Disney difference used to be to provide guests with extra when staying at a resort. Now they do not seem to care about this by stripping...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    My vacation at WDW starts on Monday and I am so excited to see the chance the mandate being lifted as increased from zero to say maybe 51%...
