    Iconic Purple Directional Signs Being Replaced

    I saw a green Epcot Resorts Blvd sign go for $3,000 once on eBay. It was the plastic type that are backlit and hang from the signal mast at intersections. It was just the plastic insert.

    Fire at Magic Kingdom

    This is why we need an 1800's horse drawn fire brigade, they could have used that to get water and equipment down to the castle and not break theme. Would have never made the news. Guests would have thought it was a new show. They could even enlist the existing main street fire truck. I'm sure...

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    I was super excited for about 2 seconds. I thought it said Bob Chapek was being replaced. Then after I read it again, I realized it was Iger being replaced. I hope she can turn things around. Time will tell.

    News Walt Disney World holidays 2021

    Just to state again. While drive-in resort hopping is not allowed currently. You can resort hop via WDW Transport options. I have done this all year, including as recently as Oct 24. I also, will be doing this next weekend. While it does make your hopping take a bit longer, it is still a fun way...

    Skyliner down at EP tonight. Crash?

    I think the biggest difference between the turning station and all other stations is that the turning station generally does not have to deal with stopped gondolas. I mean yes, the gondolas can stop in the turn station, though the entire line has to stop for this to happen. So a moving gondola...

    Skyliner down at EP tonight. Crash?

    yes same wrap. I used to have my work vehicle wrapped and they used 50/50 perforated wrap over the windows. Same situation here. You can see out of it but it is not ideal viewing and horrible for pictures. If it rains forget about viewing anything. Water ends up getting into the small holes in...

    Creations Shop opening this summer

    I know we will never get them. But we need more monorail and Peoplemover routes. Heck even more Skyliner connections at this point would be a good thing. Anything to get away from the bus situation. My visit back in April saw at least five different charter bus companies shuttling guests between...

    Creations Shop opening this summer

    Yeah I can see it now. Imagineering plants a large hedge in the shape of Communicore West. You know, to give something back to those Epcot fans. Ugh! Imagineering has been going downhill since at least 2012 based on all the "new" stuff.

    Yes Peach was done. It’s hard to see here through the window imprint from Saturday, but the bulkhead wall is peach colored. I found a better pic from back when it had its refurb back in July 2020 below my pic here. Like Green, Peach did not get any deltas. The silver accordion panels between...

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    Those Magical Express busses are not owned by Disney, They are owned by Mears Transportation, just like the Disney Cruise Line busses. Both services are contracted through Mears. Being a local I never used ME, but I always thought it was a great service and part of the magic. Just like Extra...

    Cool MK Attraction History Bits

    I stumbled across some pics I took March 6, 2010 of the old hub in the area of the swan boat queue. They used to have a swan topiary as a throwback to the boats that were there. Also you can see the actual queue covered area still standing at the time. Of course all this was torn out with the...
