    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    Without spoilers, this show actually tries to explain what has happened to Boba Fett after ROTJ and why he didn't want to be a bounty hunter anymore. If you wanted to watch a guy in mandalorian armor just going around and kicking butt, we had 2 seasons of that show already, with more seasons to...

    News Disney World's Splash Mountain closing in January 2022 for refurbishment

    Why are people still talking about the re-theming of Splash here? Seriously you guys, this was annual maintenance. Nothing new. There is a separate thread for people to either cheer for or cry about the re-theming effort, and disney does not care which side of the fence you're on (and neither...

    News Magic Kingdom 4:30pm close in May 2022 (originally January 25 2022)

    Thank you for that correction, I didn't realize that you could make phone reservations further out than the online ones. I still believe that disney is not encouraging reservations later than the end of this year even if they allow it. I think disney encourages advance reservations using park...

    News Magic Kingdom 4:30pm close in May 2022 (originally January 25 2022)

    Sorry but your comment is somewhere between needlessly exaggerating and outright lying. With 60 day ADR's and barely 70 day-out published park hours, there is no reason or push to book trips farther out than 75-90 days. You cannot even reserve a hotel room past 2022 right now, if you try to...

    Video games that feel like Disney lands/attractions

    Maybe the moderators didn't like the links that I put in on my last posting in this thread, but if you own the PC zombie shooter Left 4 Dead 2, you can download and install custom campaign maps. One of those is called Journey to Splash Mountain. I don't know who made it, but it is a really...

    Galactic Starcruiser alternative trip plan

    I really want this type of hotel experience to succeed as I love star wars and I love disney. The initial promo videos and itineraries really made me think this was going to be a complete bomb, and I think Disney recognized that in the reaction from the youtube (and other social media)...

    Poll: Genie Plus / ILL / Maxpass Options Preference at WDW

    Some general comments - The whole point of the poll was to see (and maybe get disney to see, but i doubt it) if people had a clear preference towards a secondary ride queuing system. Perhaps my wording was odd on some of them? I think you misunderstood what i meant in choice #4 - i meant get...

    Galactic Starcruiser alternative trip plan

    I never said you should do any of the stuff in my plan alone. You can eat and drink at SWGE with others as in my plan. You can play games with others with the hardware and games you'll own forever. You can invite friends over to play Sabacc if you really ever wanted to play Sabacc. You can...

    Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Covers All Nine Films

    The release date on Steam is April 5, 2022. I am looking forward to it! Oh I just realized that if you watch the posted video above for 5 and a half minutes, the same release date is mentioned.

    Poll: Genie Plus / ILL / Maxpass Options Preference at WDW

    For WDW in specific, I wondered what the pulse was like on this issue - in what direction would this passionate group of Disney fans prefer for the use of the current Fastpass/Lightning Lanes. You can pick only one, you can change your votes later and it won't display your individual selection...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Installing an elaborate rail system for a hotel which nobody knows will succeed is a ridiculous gamble of money. Make trucks now which can be repurposed later if needed, and if in two years people still give a hoot then circle back to the idea of an upgrade with a themed rail ride to and from...

    News Magic Kingdom 4:30pm close in May 2022 (originally January 25 2022)

    As others have pointed out, Disney is damned no matter what they do. If they celebrate milestone anniversaries with events, guests complain that the park is closing early and some staff will complain that they'd rather have $100 gift card. If they started to give everyone a gift card for...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    For video: The box trucks should have video screens simulating the trip from space to Batuu. Or it's just poorly lit with no simulated windows, that's probably ok too, but not fitting with the Halcyon or star wars in general where most ships have actual windows which can explode and suck...

    Galactic Starcruiser alternative trip plan

    Seeing that the major selling points of the cruiser for $4800 are: 2 nights hotel stay Trip to Galaxy's Edge Food (not alcohol, some food costs extra) a VR-style lightsaber mini-game shooting tie fighters from the bridge consoles and possibly going into lightspeed more sabacc than anyone asked...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    It doesn't need crazy tech, many box trucks have air shocks which raise and lower the box to match a loading dock (so you can drive a forklift onto them). Combining a simple lowering/raising effect with interior video screens and loud interior metallic banging sounds when you detach and attach...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    So why is Disney even offering excursions to SWGE when it's only a 48-hour trip through the galaxy, and most customers would be going to DHS during their trip separately? You cannot complain about any other lightning lane prices if that's a big selling point of the Starcruiser - "it comes with...

    most underrated ride?

    My kids were possibly the only people who loved primeval whirl. For rides still running now, maybe Dumbo. It's so old, but i never seem to outgrow it's simplicity. Also I like Pooh over Peter Pan. I don't think many disney rides are truly under-rated though since almost every ride has a very...

    Has it really been 12 years since our last visit

    I think that I could get tired of WDW by 21 days, but I would really love to test that hypothesis. I would have to take 2 days at universal to break it up in the middle, and i would definitely get to know the hotel washers and dryers better.

    What do you think about the 7DMT?

    Taxes. I think the original financial goal was breaking even back or turning a modest profit back then. Pepperidge Farm remembers when corporate and individual tax brackets were seriously high for top earners before the Reagan years. Corporations used to put more money into labor and...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Do we have any idea what percentage of guests are coming ONLY to this hotel and not also staying on disney property to go to all 4 parks as part of their trip? Seems to me that disney making galaxy's edge a major part of the hotel's experience a really really bad idea. I can stay in a value...
