Just returned from WDW...my 6yo daughter has a life-threatening allergy to peanuts (some tree nuts) and shellfish. Before going, we'd read how great Disney is with allergies. Unfortunately, the dining experience for an allergy-sufferer is poor. There wasn't a consistent method for...

I can confirm-- added soaring' and TT for 10/28. When I checked DHS, I could've added F!, but already have plans that night.

Agreed. Once Claremont left, I was out. His run was the gold age of Uncanny. Of course, I thought his return to Uncanny years later was terrible. New 52 looks interesting, but I don't trust DC with their properties (cue: Another infinite crisis) But staying on subject.... I hope Disney is...

Hmmm....take 2. Anyone know of an extension into October?

Agreed. Someone needs the cajones to push an educational agenda at EPCOT. They need to create DEMAND, because there isn't any. If there was demand for educational programming, then the Discovery Channel, TLC, and History Channel wouldn't be airing 'Highway to Sell', 'Long Island Medium,' and...

I thought it was Hong Kong triad?

I really hate being the new guy around here....my point is that Duffy was not based on a Disney character that had previously appeared outside of the parks. Replacing him with Disney characters indicates a shift towards replacing other EPCOT-centric (aka: non-Disney) entities. They're...

Wouldn't it be weird/ironic/meta if someone put a giant hat on Hollywood Blvd that blocked the real Chinese Theater? Disney DOES own the theater across the street (where Jimmy Kimmel is filmed)

According to the NEA, Americans touring a park, monument, or museum is down 21%... museums have lost over 8 million people since their peak... the opening of science museums are at their lowest levels ever, and attendance is flat at best. I'm PRO-EDUCATION...but it's hard to deny that fewer...

Great point. I don't disagree, but more people tune in to watch the NFL on a Sunday night than Cosmos (even though Cosmos is more entertaining than watching most NFL teams)

Colonial Williamsburg: 650,000 annual attendance Busch Gardens Williamsburg: 2,750,000 annual attendance (with shortened season) And if you look at a typical college football game, I bet there's more students in the stands than in class...it's pretty close. But yeah, learning is kinda dying...

Why the hate for the hat?

My fault--typing on my phone. It's the end of history as an academic subject. People would rather be entertained than learn.

Not really trying to mock. There are 230 pages of comments about why the Disney-ification of WS is a terrible thing for the park (thought I was echoing the sentiments found here?). Duffy is the only character not to be in a Disney movie... it's very symbolic that he's being replaced by Disney...

This is terrible news!!!! Duffy WAS Epcot. Replacing him with Disney characters is going to ruin WS. WS should be about the culture and history of the world...not Disney entertainment. Duffy taught us about the world, much in the same way the Malestrom Vikings taught me about the history of...
