    I don't care what anyone says, I will always love...

    ...EPCOT, EPCOT Center, Epcot... whatever it's called in the moment. I loved it in 1986 when I went the first time and I loved it last August when I was there for my last trip, and for all the trips in between. It's always the park I go to first and I always get a picture with Spaceship Earth...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    How do you say "coaxium" in Wookiee-ese? As far as timelessness, I think that really depends on your point of view. I'm old enough to have seen Star Wars in the theater when it was just Star Wars, not Episode IV. I was a kid and I loved the original trilogy when it was the only trilogy. I...

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Yeah, but to make it fit the "theme" it would need to be changed to how water impacts the animals and their environment, rather than the lifecycle of water in and of itself. They could probably salvage some of it, but I think it would be a different attraction. Not saying that's good or bad, but...

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    But it is part of the Nature of the World, which, while not part of the original missions statement of EPCOT Center, does fit the theme of the current World Nature. Honestly, I don't really care where it is. My first WDW trip was in 1985 or 1986... I'd been to Disneyland before, but EPCOT is...

    News Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closing for refurbishment in January 2024

    A Simpsons retheme for the track would be pretty easy, just replace the road signs with Springfield location flats. I don't know how they'd update the pre-show, though. I'd probably hate it. I don't associate the Simpsons with Disney, not in a positive way at least (copyright expired), and I...

    GNSOAT Poll: Battle of the Electrical Parades

    I just brought it back to even... I don't know if MSEP is the best show of all time, I haven't seen all of them, but Baroque Hoedown is the best song. If they had a new parade with Baroque Hoedown (even if it's TASTEFULLY updated with new Disney music), I'd probably be just as happy.

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Don't really understand how JoW is more fitting in AK... water isn't an animal.

    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    I agree. I wasn't an early VR adopter but I got an Oculus Rift S like 4 years ago, then got a Meta Quest 2 like 2 years ago. I really enjoyed them for a couple months and every once in a while when a really stunning game comes out, like Half-Life: Alyx. But watching TV on a headset, I'm sorry...

    Orlando International Airport predicts record number of ravelers this holiday season

    I'm pretty sure they mean that, with so many travelers during the holidays, people can get unraveled, so they're sending out a record number of ravelers to help re-ravel them.

    Frozen Bananas

    I had a frozen chocolate-covered banana when I was there this past August, so you should be able to find one, I think.

    Remember When?

    I used to take a bunch of mini poops just to experience that sweet two ply. Now that they switched to one ply, I do all my business at once. What I'm saying is, it's all my fault!

    EPCOT vs Hollywood Studios

    Epcot is why I fell in love with WDW. I'd been to Disneyland a year or two earlier and liked it well enough, but visiting Epcot in 1986/87 is what really turned me into a fan of Disney parks. And yeah, I miss all the original pavilions and the replacements are generally pretty underwhelming...

    The Future of Dinosaur - You Decide...

    With Universe of Energy gone, I feel like we need some dinosaur AAs somewhere, so why not an Indiana Jones/Lost World (like the Arthur Conan Doyle story, not Jurassic Park) mashup? Indy's gotta, I dunno, save Sallah who was stranded there in a plane crash or something and nobody knew there were...

    Hollywood Studios table service or leave the park

    Roundup Rodeo was great. I had the plant based menu, which actually had a good variety of foods not included on every single other prix-fixe menu at every other restaurant in WDW, so I can't say what the meat is like but it's a fun atmosphere and the servers (at my and neighboring tables) were a...

    Two Must Have Snacks at Epcot

    Yeah, I was really surprised how not terrible this was. I HAD to try it because I'm a big pickle fan but I was really not sure how this would be. Very mild dill aftertaste and very creamy.

    Your Favorite Walks

    I almost stayed at one of the All-Stars this year, but changed to Pop to be able to run around Hourglass Lake. And When I stayed in French Quarter several years ago, they had a 5k fun run (every Sunday, I think) starting by the pool, down through Riverside and around the river back to FQ. And...

    Skyliner Question

    While I can't speak to security cameras, I can say that I've had week-long stays at both AoA and Pop and used the skyliner nearly every day of those visits. I experienced stalls like 3 or 4 times and they only lasted 30-60 seconds. They close them down if there's any hint of nasty weather that...
