    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I don't think they are considering any nod to the original Poly at all...they clearly did just about everything they could to make it NOT feel part of the resort everyone loves....Which is the most baffling thing. and the Poly is generally more expensive than the other MK resorts.....

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    so using the new LL Premiere Pass would cost an extra $1600.00 per day for a family of 4...plus the $500 for the day park tickets...about $2100.00/day to visit the Magic Kingdom excluding food, hotel, merch, etc. So a 3 day trip to Disney with hotel for 3 nights at the mid range hotels would be...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    ESPN was always an odd choice for the Boardwalk... Cake Bake Shop looks nice and pretty but also does not fit the theme of the 1940s Jersey Shore Boardwalk... it does fit more with the Grand Floridian Resort....or Disney Springs..... I am sure there will be crowds for at least a year or two...

    News Disney plans to reboot Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The shopping at Disney MGM was always great...now almost all park shopping is boring... The merchandise is not special enough... The shopping venues are not engaging.... Disney really needed to take a hint from what Universal did with Harry Potter and their specialized shopping...It really made...

    Tom Sawer Island closing date

    IOA is a great park...totally different vibe from the Disney parks.... But great... EPIC looks like it is going to be amazing... I personally could care less about Nintendo, but the new Potter section, THe Universal Monsters Land and everything else look like they are going to be spectacular...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    but we are talking about removing the things that made the high priced Disney resorts special and replacing it with things you can find in any Marriott hotel. a nice Marriott...but not a 4 Seasons hotel. Disney Resorts have been priced as if they are luxury hotels... They are nice, but they are...

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

    Well, we really don't know what the second attraction is for the Cars Land Auto Parts Mountain area is....and we really have no certainty of what anything is for the Villains land except maybe a coaster as seen in the very vague artwork...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I don't think there are a lot of potential customers that would choose to stay at a non-branded Hampton Inn for $375/nt Vs a beautifully themed resort. Of course they have to freshen up the decor...every hotel does that, but to change the identity and feel of the hotel is where it becomes a...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    now would you be having the bespoke artisanal house-smoked bacon on that ground unicorn patty? It is only an additional $27.00 and don't forget the gold leaf embellished, hand-crafted French Fries...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    LOL! So true! We have BLT DVC, and it is kind of a blight on the view across the lake.....Just looks like the modern world has encroached on this special magical place.....

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I think that is what TDO believes, but I think there are a lot of guests...maybe even a majority that actually do care....and when it is done the right way and makes sense, it just feels better...Maybe it is not something that people will be able to pinpoint, but they will feel the difference...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    The splash pad... I don't think they really count as a water feature, but sure there is water....and it's a lot of fiberglass cartoony character... I would have preferred something that looked more natural and more exotic... waterfalls....a lazy river... something better than a fiberglass...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    The interior looks nice...Kind of as I expected from her other locations...I am surprised there was no video of the $26 cake slices... but I am sure we will be seeing those soon enough. The interior looks like the Grand Floridian.....

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    I think it looks slick at night... by day it is a sore thumb in Tomorrowland... Visually does not feel like it is part of anything....and I think the storyline of the ride feels nonexistent... It could have been great at DHS because they could have had an entire land based on the Game Grid and...

    News Disney plans to reboot Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    They were also filming a sitcom series there that didn't make it... I think Dolly Parton was involved... She was also involved in a feature animation project that was cancelled when the Florida animation department closed...

    News Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    With the bland usualness of the architecture, I am hoping they at least do an amazing feature pool and grounds amentities to make this something special instead of a literal Hampton Inn Wilderness Motel... The Reflections renderings look like every new condo building being currently built...
