Not in an overall sense, but it's a lot better than most of the in-park food. Polite Pig actually got a Michelin Plate award, although while I do enjoy Polite Pig, that has to be solely because it's in Orlando. It wouldn't be one of the best BBQ places here in Atlanta.

We like staying at POR, so it's easy to get to/from Springs there. I drive to WDW, though, so I always have a car, but don't go off-site much. Most of what's around WDW is awful.

I was going to edit my post to use that exact word -- character. It's not that the old World of Disney was something truly special or incredibly different than what's there now, but it had significantly more character than the new version. I think the fact that the many of the in-park stores...

Sure, although there's little there that can't be found at relatively upscale mall/shopping areas around the US, other than the World of Disney and a couple of the smaller Disney shops they have. I don't think World of Disney is special now either, though. I understand why they made the...

It would, but I don't know that it would even fit on that river. It certainly wouldn't fit under the multiple bridges in the way.

Not if you want to eat good food. I don't think there's much else there that matters, but even the QS places at DS are better than most of the TS options in the parks. Last time we were at Disney we ate dinner at DS almost every night, even if it was just late QS after leaving one of the parks...

You're only 23, though (assuming the age in your profile is correct). I don't think EPCOT has changed too much feel wise in that time frame, but it has if you go back to the mid-90s and earlier. The former Future World is not much like it was when EPCOT was the best theme park ever, and that's...

I doubt I will either. It certainly looks better than the Gideon's cookies, though.

That's how a chocolate chip cookie is supposed to look. That doesn't really mean anything re: the actual flavor of the cookie.

That's kind of the problem, though. The Disney villains are so disparate that the kind of land you might expect to see Maleficent in doesn't really work for, say, Captain Hook or Gaston (at least IMO). There are certain collections of villains that would work in a similar setting, but I don't...

Their chocolate chip cookies definitely are. Legitimately one of the worst I've eaten. It's because they have way, way too many chocolate chips. If I wanted a chocolate bar I'd eat a chocolate bar; the chocolate chips are supposed to enhance the cookie, not replace it. An ideal chocolate chip...

None of these look especially good to me, but it's nice to see Disney expanding breakfast options. They don't have nearly enough.

The Cake Bake cookies certainly look much better than the Gideon's cookies, but I don't think the Gideon's cookies are good. Gideon's would need to remove like 80% of the chocolate chips to actually have a good chocolate chip cookie. Chocolate chips should be an accompaniment to the cookie...

My problem with a Villains land is that Disney villains are quite varied in nature. Most of them are very different from each other, and they're also from wildly different settings/IPs. I struggle to see how it can be done without the land feeling like it was designed around one specific...

That's what the thread is for! They're all completely true for me, though. The attraction lineup was weaker at DHS (although not that much weaker for me personally), but everything else about the park (theming, shopping, etc.) was much, much stronger than it is right now with the exception of...

Pokemon is bigger than Mario, although I do think it has the same issue that Mario (potentially) has -- just because people like it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be drawn to a theme park land/attraction based on it. There's not even a guarantee it will actually translate well into an...

At this point a significant number of riders don't even know what the Twilight Zone is, though. I don't think it would affect their enjoyment if it was something generic instead of Twilight Zone, even if I agree with you that the Twilight Zone makes it better.

Jungle Cruise should be torn out and replaced. Mediocre at best, essentially superfluous with the existence of Animal Kingdom, and Disney could do more interesting things with the huge plot of land it takes up. The one at Disneyland should stay since it was Walt's attraction, but the Disney...

Well Tower of Terror isn't technically park IP, even though the ride itself would work just fine without the Twilight Zone IP attached. Still, though, plenty of good examples. Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Spaceship Earth, etc.

It certainly could be -- I just don't see it. Nothing about it looks interesting at all to me. That's not Universal's fault, though. I think the art style/design of the IP itself is kind of bland and generic.
