    Guardians Tower announcement Saturday in SD ...

    Wow, take a day off from the boards to tour Glacier National Park and this happens. DISnews has no respect for my outside the parks vacation time. Now to go back and read a bit.

    A Spirited Summer Special (AKA Phil Holmes Takes Anaheim!)

    Gelato in September in Tuscany is my best "ice cream" experience. Enjoy!

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    Oh My! $500 million??? That is substantial. I wonder if it means more area, more attractions, or more detailed theming over several parks or concentrated on only one or two. Time will tell. I don't know if that means the announcement is closer but one can hope.

    A Spirited Summer Special (AKA Phil Holmes Takes Anaheim!)

    I started my "digestion" of this information with Disney Springs vs the economy. DS has: 105 Shopping venues, 50 Dining options, 12 Entertainment venues and 3 Activities including their Grand Opening celebration. It also has, inadequate parking for local traffic, overprices everything, lots...

    New Early morning Studios upcharge event

    Guests who want to max out their time on TSMM may enjoy this early time in the park but it isn't for me at all. I skipped the attraction last trip because it wasn't worth wasting a tier 1 FP+. I don't do M&Gs, won't ever set foot in the Commissary again :hungover:, and find wait time at Star...

    A Spirited Summer Special (AKA Phil Holmes Takes Anaheim!)

    Thanks for posting this @WDW1974. I read it quickly but will digest it further. I agree that it does forshadow a shakeup and possible cultural shift.

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    I choose my Tuesday $5 movies based on reviews and promos...I am also very gratefull to this site since I do the really popular movies a week or so later to enhance my experience. Example: @WDW1974 and his recommendation of Inside Out. Saw it in the theater many weeks after it debuted. Other...

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    That is my take...It is relegated to my "maybe on dvd/on demand/netflix

    Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

    My hubby suggested we skip MK next trip until I reminded him that he liked the "Mountains", he relented but insisted we have dinner and wine at BOG so he wasn't subjected to the "kiddie park" without getting to feel like a grownup. He's weird that way....I however, enjoy much of MK and even he...

    Deputies: Man arrested for groping six people at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon

    Unfortunately, people tend to let down their guard and their normal situational awareness when at WDW. Creeps can be anywhere. Glad he was caught and arrested. Now he needs to do time.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    One of the better thought out uses of IP in this park while still maintaining purpose and message.

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    This makes sense. Combine Iger's narcissistic IP based legacy building exercise with Chapek's desire to please his Marvel obsessed higher ups and we should have been able to predict something like this.

    Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

    Oh, I agree. Universal was first billed as "Ride the Movies". That was their intention from day one. Marketing was about their ""lands" reflecting the Disneyland park. Epcot was what I said in a previous post. Islands of adventure changed the focus briefly but it became ""Ride the Movies...

    Epcot's original theme. Is it even still relevant?

    When Epcot first opened, it was about who we are, why we are, what we have accomplished and where we can go. Step one, change the idea that we can have a sea base studying the depths of the ocean to Nemo getting lost yet again. Nemo is a successful IP and needs to go somewhere and we have an...

    Disney expands Pin Trading into new PinQuest scavenger hunt

    I may buy a couple of pins just for the interaction between me and a CM. I just wondered if the "free trades" were eliminated. I would not pay that much for 7 pins. You would only need a few for what I enjoy.

    Guardians of the Galaxy coming to Energy Pavilion at Epcot

    One problem I have noticed among those of us concerned about thematic cohesiveness is that the Epcot we remember was not appearing on our social media. You couldn't rate it on trip advisor or comment on a message board or Facebook or Twitter. There was no such thing as "social media". Instant...
