    Avatar Flight of Passage reviews, comments and questions

    As bad as Navi River is, Flight of Passage is THAT GOOD! We all thought that it was now the best ride at WDW, probably in all of Orlando.

    Pandora World of Avatar Phase Two

    Maybe they'll build an Avatar expansion and it'll look a whole lot like Endor. ...complete with Ewoks...and a speeder bike attraction...

    Na'vi River Journey reviews, comments and questions

    Peter Pan is an awesome ride and has a great story to tell. It was my 3 year olds favorite ride from our whole trip. He doesn't remember NRJ.

    Na'vi River Journey reviews, comments and questions

    This is the most disappointing ride I've ever been on. Did they run out of money for writers? No story? No nothing? ...and the queue is a boring, monotonous maze. I thought they had stopped building those?? I'm stumped at how bad this ride is. I'll not ride this again unless I can almost walk on.

    Trip Report WHAT A MOB!!! Commentary from our recent trip

    Yes, I knew it would be a crowd, but the week of 12/27-1/3 was the only time that my family's calendar aligned...so we had to grin and bear it. Here's my commentary: 12/27: We arrived and checked into the Polynesian for my parents' 50th Anniversary celebration/trip. I had never stayed at the...

    Best Epcot Restaurants? Sharing Meals at WDW? Girlfriend's First Trip to WDW

    At Epcot, we love Biergarten (buffet and show), Hacienda San Angel, Chefs de France, Marrakesh, and Rose & Crown. We don't care for Nine Dragons, Monsieur Paul, Nine Dragons, or Tutto Italia. All the others are fine, but similar experiences to what we can get at home. I personally miss the...

    Quickie Restaurant Reviews from my recent trip

    We just returned from WDW - WHAT A MASSIVE CROWD! I hate it that we had to go last week, but it was the only time that worked for our whole family. It is what it is. Here are the restaurants we ate at in ranked order by type of restaurant and how well I enjoyed them: DINNER & SHOW 1)...

    So has anyone been in the Edison yet?

    I walked in a looked around on this past Tuesday night. The door was open, and no one said a word to me. Upon walking in however, it was obvious that the place wasn't open for business. The wait staff was all gathered around a table folding napkins, etc, and there were no customers. The place...

    Skipper Canteen Reviews?

    We had lunch at Skipper's Canteen this past week. It was good, and I'm glad we went. The food and the service was good. The menu selections are very different from elsewhere in the park, and that's a good thing. I don't think there's a cheeseburger on the menu. The decor is fabulous. Some...

    "House of Magic" Returns to Main Street Magic Kingdom

    This sort of thing would work well in Momento Mori. EVERYTHING in that store is cool, but directly branded to HM. ...and that makes it somewhat inaccessible to some people. (I love HM, but have never bought anything in Momento Mori!) Diversifying the merchandise slightly with magic tricks...

    "House of Magic" Returns to Main Street Magic Kingdom

    "Rookie." I was responding to your stupid remark. I know how things work: Disney World is about making money. I just hope that they can find a way to make money while keeping the place interesting.

    "House of Magic" Returns to Main Street Magic Kingdom

    <Confused> Of course they can. All cheap toys are mass produced somewhere outside Shanghai, right?

    "House of Magic" Returns to Main Street Magic Kingdom

    Yes, but the point is that it wasn't "just a facade" not too long ago. The House of Magic used to be its own shop with walls inside. Just as the Penny Arcade used to be a contained space, and the Cinema, etc...

    A new low

    THIS. Not too long ago, drinking anything out of a can was considered low class. Kind of like talking with a cigarette in your mouth. It has little to do with beer, though I suppose that magnifies the point. I'm sure that a lot of people today won't understand this; just as they don't...

    I really miss the Osborne lights, anyone else?

    I guess I'm in the minority, but I don't miss them at all. I think they were cheesy. :cautious:
