    Missed opportunity? Why Disney hasn’t rethemed Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster to Taylor Swift

    Given Disney refused to update the Aerosmith theme even after the band had become irrelevant for years... I'm kind of glad they don't cut some deal with another real music act. Assume they did a deal with Swift... I can see it now 50 years from now when she's being pushed in a wheelchair it...

    How much would Disney charge if they brought back the Platinum Pass (AP for DL and WDW)?

    Yep, and I doubt it would be much of a seller. It was actually called the Disney Premier Passport if memory serves me. Had it one year but didn't think it was worth it. Back then I think it cost around 800... it was under a thousand but I can't recall just what it cost. At the time we were...

    What are smart phones required for at Disney Parks?

    I have to wonder if Disney wants guest to stop using their phones because when the guests can use their phones Disney can't manipulate crowds with their fake wait times. The most value we have ever gotten from out phones has been using an app to see actual wait times instead of the fake ones...

    What are smart phones required for at Disney Parks?

    Are you sure it isn't possible to make reservations without a smartphone? I haven't tried doing it for lightning reservations on a tablet but I do recall one trip in the past where I had lost my phone and we used my daughter's ipad and the free wifi in the park for doing fastpass reservations...

    Merchandise stores outside of parks

    If you want some Disney merch like you would find in the parks your best option is one of the outlets, but the prices at outlets hasn't been as enticing as it once was. If you just want legit Disney junk go to Walmart. It really depends on what type of stuff you are looking for. For pins the...

    American Heartland theme park (Oklahoma 2026)

    Yep, from the looks of the lawsuit that brought a big door crashing shut on it, it appears it was all just a big con job to fleece some old dude out money... Would make a good premise for a movie though with con artist impersonating god and speaking to the old rich dude through text messages...

    PSA: Knee Scooters in Disney - Don't

    I've seen several people with the knee scooters in my office building... they all get along fine in side the building... but I have seen several have issues once they tried to venture out of the tower and hit the sidewalks. I can't help but think the doctors prescribing these things don't...

    Cycling / biker shorts for men

    Reminds me of my old house, a neighbor used to wear a speedo and flip flops to mow his lawn... While some guys might get away with wearing speedos outside of a pool... 60 year old fat dudes with man aren't in that group.... To me speedos and spandex has its place and usually it is reserved...

    Cycling / biker shorts for men

    Only reason to wear them is if your legs are so fat that your inner thighs rub together and it would prevent your skin from chaffing.... Otherwise I don't see the point given it is just going to make you hotter than if you weren't wearing them.

    Out of state annual pass holders

    I've done it in the past... done a 2 different ways, one was everyone in the family got an annual pass... the other was only I got the annual pass.... For everyone it probably doesn't make sense anymore given the number of trip you are making... When we did multiple 2 week at a time trips it...

    Excited but Torn (A One-on-One Disney Adventure with My Son)

    I've 2 kids and I've taken one to Disney probably 4 times as many times as the other, not because I wanted to punish one but because kids aren't clones of each other and they don't enjoy the same things. You took the oldest by herself once, now your taking the other. No harm no foul. Reality...

    Does anyone here shoot the moon regularly?

    I've done a few shots of the moon by connecting mirrorless camera to old telescopes. The real key for getting a decent shot is making sure the tripod is rock steady, for my telescope I hang weights on the center to make it heavier.... make sure to use a timer so the camera isn't jiggled by your...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Agreed. And this parade seems to be a bit too heavily slanted to the newest IP which was not even what I would consider good enough to warrant the amount of parade some of it has been given. Of all the night parades at Disney World, this is probably the weakest one ever. Weaker even than any...

    Giant teen tour groups are back

    I know we made the mistake of staying at a value resort in the fall in the past and had the pleasure of some pop warner football thing which resulted in screaming kids running around in the evenings to the point that it was hard to get any rest because of the noise. To be honest, if I were you...

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    Is it just me or does that look more like Mike Lindell the My Pillow guy than it does Walt Disney.
