I know it's just watching scenes on a screen, but I only get to come to WDW once every 4 years or so. The ambience of the chairs lifting you up, combined with the music (which is my favorite in all the World), and the general good feeling I get from the ride, I'll ride it as long as it's there...

Personally, they had already priced me out of visiting as frequently as I want to. I now go to WDW less often (every four years instead of every other year). I bought tickets for next year as soon as I saw Universal's price increase. Sit-down meals and character dining? I've been priced out of...

Because Walt acted upon some ideals that I wish still guided the company today: a. His standards: A desire to be second to none in quality of product, whatever it may cost. b. His motives: A desire to create something that is WORTH creating, meaning something that uplifts the human...

Interesting, Parentsof4! Listen, guys, I still see WDW as a quality vacation. There's no place else I'd rather vacation. And I understand that there are going to be annual price increases. I have known my entire adult life that everything at WDW ends at a cash register. I don't have a...

I know Jim Hill can be out there, but I do recall a few months back on a podcast that he argued Disney's focus has shifted away from wanting to attract NUMBERS of guests and toward wanting to attract deep-pocketed guests. Attract wealthier people, and control overall numbers through price hikes...

Agree.

I voted something original basically because I generally don't care for movie tie-ins unless the movie has almost perpetual staying power like Star Wars. Avatar and Avengers certainly don't fit that description. Regarding the possibility of Avengers at WDW, though, what is the term of the...

I heard they were opening a park near Branson Missouri! :ROFLOL: Amazing how often that rumor resurfaces in our neck of the woods... ;)

Wow! I never knew that. We've ridden it a couple of times but it's not on our list for this summer. To me, it just seems to be a jerky jeep and tons of noise. Wish I could have seen it when it was in its prime. I did get to see A mode Yeti, though, so I guess that's something...

I guess I'm just surprised that people who are so adamant against waiting the 5 minutes between the boat ride and the opening of the doors are even there in the first place. The boat ride is extremely short and one of the more underwhelming rides at WDW IMO. The new treatment of the film just...

I can't see how it wouldn't disturb someone's enjoyment of the film to have: 1. people walking between them and the screen, 2. noise from guests who are talking after leaving their boat entering the theater through an open door (without realizing a film is being displayed beyond the open door...

My guess is that if this change is going to stay this way, that it's a preliminary move toward dumping the film altogether. Just seems Disney is signaling as loudly as it can that this film is not something it values, and this is its way of hinting to ALL guests to proceed to other shops...

Definitely true. I save for two years to take our family to WDW for 6 days. But when Lion King (the musical) came to town, we wanted to go but refused to pay the ticket prices. Also, looked into attending a college football game with my DW and 2 kids last fall. Tickets were $90 each, so $360...

Please don't think I was being critical. I think it is very often something that people who are buying their first DSLR don't realize. It would probably save a lot of people a lot of money if they knew that before buying one. Being a lifelong struggling guitar player, it's the same with that...

Thanks for the interesting discussion! It has also helped soothe my photography self-image! I see all these spectacular shots on different websites and am frustrated that I can never get colors in my shots to really POP like these do. Now I realize I'm not as bad with a camera as I thought I...

Completely agree. I don't think this can ever be emphasized enough!

How do you remove accountants from one of the largest publicly-traded companies in the world?

Yeah, us too! :lookaroun

Sounds to me like this was the CM's way of saying "I don't want to mess with changing it." There are posts all over the Disboards resorts forum about CM's allowing people to change locations even though they used online check-in.

I think it's the atmosphere of the ride more than the effects, per se. It's one of those 'sit back and just soak it in' rides. The beautiful score, the vibe (for lack of a better word) of the film, etc. It's just an amazingly peaceful and relaxing ride to me. Maybe it's little more than an...
