I'd like to understand more about why you said the made for TV movie, Tower of Terror, makes no logical sense.

Thanks for the replies! To everyone comparing this to all other land transitions, I would counter by saying that this particular area seems to have much more backstory/depth to it. CM’s in World Showcase don’t respond as if you are actually in the other. country. Whereas CM’s in Batuu...

Thanks for the replies! I certainly can follow your advice, however, just thought I would check and see if there was an “official” backstory, as they often have some explanation.

Wondering if anyone can help me understand how I got to Batuu today. I was spending the day at DHS and waking around. I went under a bridge and about halfway through, I noticed a distinct change in the walls. When I came out the other end, I was millions of miles away from Earth on Batuu. I...

Differing expectations, I guess. These are definitely hilarious touches. The tacky reception area is funny, and I LOVE subtlety in design at the parks, but I guess it didn't make me think Muppets at all. Overall, other than a few signs like I said, everything was played pretty straight like...

I believe that they are constructing a new quick service food location in that area, so the screens are probably related to that

I was wondering what everyone thinks of the theming of the relatively new PizzeRizzo at DHS? I was pretty excited when we walked in and saw a few humorous plaques for Employee of the Month, Pizza Eating Contests, and the "First Dollar" framed on the wall (kinda). There was a nice reference to...

Thanks Rob! Makes sense, but wasn't sure if they used a pneumatic cylinder alone, or used one to drive a scissor lift or something.

Hey all, Wondering if anyone knows what mechanism is used for the pop-up ghost heads in the Haunted Mansion graveyard scene? Thanks!

Despite the naysayers, I am really sad to have missed out. I am hoping I can find some way to get this! Anyone want to sell theirs? :)

Hey all, Just returned from a long weekend at WDW and I noticed a few strange things regarding fireworks First, on Monday night, from my room in Caribbean Beach Resort, I heard fireworks. It was just before 11pm, so I wandered over to see where they were coming from. They were definitely, no...

I can confirm that today the effects are all back on. On Sunday, Oct 20, the hitchhiking ghosts were not working, AND the stretching room was down (guests were just led straight thru to the ride). As of today, both are working again!

That is what I thought! Thank you!

Oh yes, I remember that! Very cool! What I can't remember is when it changed. I thought it was a while back, but a friend seems to think it was in the last 1.5 years. I would have thought it was changed before that!

Hey all, I am looking for some info about FastPass+. I know about it, and how it works. I am looking for any discussion or information on WHY Disney is doing it? Trying to understand, is there some way it will make them more money? Can they get more people in the parks? I am sure the answer...
