    2025 was an awful year

    "They're changing a fourth of Animal Kingdom to be about humans, fundamentally altering the entire point of the park. We also have an increased focus on cartoon animals that live in cities and suburbia (and unlike Mickey are not something that's always had a history of just being slotted into...

    2025 was an awful year

    I might have given the wrong impression that I might be hopeful or watching to see if things improve in 2026. I'm really not. I don't think they could disappoint me more and I don't expect them to ever announce anything I would enjoy (at least not something big enough to matter) again, so I...

    2025 was an awful year

    You want me to go to a therapist for not liking Disney World and having a declining view of a company instead of talking on a Disney discussion board? Maybe you could not click on blatantly negative thread titles instead of demanding everyone around you only have discussions you approve of?

    EPCOT Multiple 3-hour+ waits at EPCOT

    DAK's hours are stupid; it closed at 7 on New Years Eve, now it's open to 8 for a bit (I've said it before and I'll say it again: anyone who thinks they're forced to close at 6 due to lack of options is demonstrably wrong), but then we're going back to the ridiculous 6 o'clock closures around...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I just figured if I only said "until they close Animal Kingdom" people would respond that it's not closing anytime soon when I didn't mean to imply that.

    2025 was an awful year

    - The year of constant shut downs. - The year they officially gave up on Animal Kingdom's theme. - The year they officially killed Frontierland. - Tiana's opened in 2024, but I think this year is when it sunk in that Disney gaves so little of a care they have no intentions of even giving the...

    EPCOT Multiple 3-hour+ waits at EPCOT

    Counting down the different times in each pavilion is an adorable idea. Too bad the crowds and drunks ruin it.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I don't expect it to ever be fixed; it'll be broken until either they close the ride or they close Animal Kingdom, however far in the future that may be.

    News Sprinkles Cupcakes Disney Springs Location Reportedly Facing Imminent Closure

    The cupcake ATM is a fun novelty, once. I went there specifically for it the first time. A lot of times I would find myself roaming Springs wanting a baked good and Sprinkles was never a destination I ended up going to (half the time I just left). I didn't hate them when I tried them or...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I truly believe that if it wasn't such a specific structure that's hard to retheme that would be heading out, too. Iger doesn't see the value in it, no IP, permanently broken, and frankly for a rollercoaster that's advertised regularly and literally impossible to miss the wait times aren't...

    EPCOT Multiple 3-hour+ waits at EPCOT

    I waited like five minutes for Ratatouille and I still felt like it wasn't worth it. Over three hours?! Holy crap.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    These discussions always end up being a ping pong game between two contradictory concepts: - People do not want *thing the park is actually about*, they only care about IP. - Disney will definitely bait and switch people by taking attention away from the thing people want to see in favor of...

    What was the last funny addition to Disney World?

    As Disney continues it's comedy massacre, let's discuss: what was the last thing built that was funny? We're judging based on what actually made you laugh, not just what is trying to be funny. I'm asking about reoccurring things in the parks themselves. Social media or commercials do not...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I agree on Disney not being funny, but disagree on the cause; mocking themselves is a rubber stamp they still apply liberally. In Zoogether you have Nick rolling his eyes at the musical number (I hate that joke with a burning passion I cannot understate) and a meta comment about how Giselle...

    MK New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Updates Coming to Walt Disney World

    2022; my mistake. I still stand by everything I said, though.
