    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Put me in the camp that thinks the phrase "seamlessly connected" was chosen with care. If it was going to be fully "inside" DHS, I think they would be trumpeting that fact. My guess is something analogous to the Hogwart's Express between the Universal parks; a sealed vehicle that is in a themed...

    News Coronado Springs Expansion - Gran Destino Tower

    I still feel like this is a problem for Disney. What your wife is saying, in essence, is that she prefers Disney hotels differentiate themselves less. At some point, aren't more people going to balk at paying Disney rates if the experience is similar to what is available just outside the gates...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    Under joint and several liability rules, any liable party can be made to pay all damages, even if the injured party was also liable. This is what happened in the famous McDonald's coffee case, for example. It can even happen if a liable party is also a victim, which is how people injured in the...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I see what you mean, but it's a shame that the fireworks launch essentially doesn't line up with anything useful.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    If, like Logan 5, I'm asking a question that has already been answered, I apologize. But I'm wondering if we know how Star Wars land will impact future fireworks shows at the Studios or whatever the park will be called then. I know they've recently done some minor work to dress up the projection...

    Disney's Hollywood Studios Name Change

    I had previously worked out that the only logical name for the revised park would be Disney Disney Disney, but on further reflection, I'm putting my chips on Disney Park 3, as part of a resort-wide name-simplification effort.

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Thanks, but that doesn't answer my questions. Martin's video shows what is presumably rotating seating, but that's not what he just said. And my point is that the diagram doesn't make sense--it shows the queue leading to a stage. I'm wondering if the diagram is an earlier or later version of...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Wait a second...this shows rotating central seating in the middle of static stages: To be honest, I don't get this diagram at all, which seems to show the pre-show leading directly to "Stage 1." Could you explain?

    PHOTOS - Temporary store to open during a major update to World of Disney at Disney Springs

    I think we are all on the the same general page with what we expect this to look like. We just differ in how much we like it. For many people, minimalist decor is sterile, which is why they don't like it. Others see it differently. For me, theming isn't just something you can add with...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Is this maybe a FP versus standby thing? Because standby SM has felt fine to me the last few times I have ridden--not buttery smooth, mind you, but not jarring. And I'm the sort of person who won't ride wooden coasters because they're so rough.

    News American Adventure Refurb, New Projectors and Ending Video

    I don't get to the movie theater often these days, but whenever I do, I am reminded of how awful current projection standards are. When I got out to see The Last Jedi, during the interminable pre-trailers presentation, the screen was tearing the whole time. The film itself was significantly...

    Rumor Pixar's Coco coming to the Mexico Pavilion

    To be clear, he has planned out four sequels, and at one stage, intended to film all four back-to-back. With all the delays, there's now going to be a gap after the third film. It was presumably always the case that the plan would be derailed by disappointing ticket sales. But it's not like he's...

    disturb signs ?

    I disagree with all of this. I think A) the notion that housekeeping could be trained to notice such things is nuts. B) Swab kit? The housekeepers would have, and use, swab kits? That's just absurd. C) Any would-be villain could avoid being detected by housekeeping simply by performing the evil...

    News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

    I'm more of a ride person myself, but I have been pleasantly surprised a few times (Festival of the Lion King, and the old Tarzan Rocks, believe it or not). I would expect the idea here is that they already have theaters in other parks around the world, and they have theatrical productions...

    Main Street Fountain Removal

    Foxxy of passport2dreams.blogspot.com actually mentioned this last week when posting this footage of the fountain. We can watch this and remember what was:

    Spaceship Earth - Silent Descent

    It's always unfortunate when Disney legends give out mistaken info, but I guess Sklar's promotion of Dobkin, despite all evidence to the contrary, is not nearly as bad as Admiral Joe Fowler's promotion of the whole "Contemporary was build to be taken apart for refurb" myth.

    Studios projection towers getting more details

    Again, I give them points for effort. I don't know if this was in the works from the beginning, or if someone looked at those bunkers and decided that something had to be done. I have to assume the latter, since if one planned to theme them from the start, one would have come up with a design...

    Rumor The EPCOT Hotel

    I can imagine hotel designs that would complement the entrance of Epcot. I have a harder time imagining the 2017 Disney company actually building any of those.

    Third parking garage coming to Disney Springs

    I think the garages are an important part of the success of the Disney Springs revamp. It's not just that the garages are needed now that there are more places to go, but that, with the garages in place, more people want to go. Knowing parking won't be a huge hassle is a major plus, and I...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    There's just a little thicket of rebar in front of it on that side, obscuring the view. Look closely and you'll see it behind them.
