    What is one closed attraction that is considered beloved on here, but you think was over rated ?

    That’s not really the same thing though is it. The amount of people that get defensive over a ride is quite comical. I love It’s a Small World but you don’t see me throwing a hissy and throwing snarky remarks at people every single time someone mocks it and wishes for it’s demise 🙄

    Question about finding a good agent to help us plan Disney trip!

    Why was my post giving helpful YouTube links and books removed? Not sketchy at all..

    What is one closed attraction that is considered beloved on here, but you think was over rated ?

    I never rode Horizons so can't really judge but from POV videos I've watched, I'm really not sure what all the fuss is about.

    Tips and Tricks

    We stayed off site at the Residence Inn Garden Grove which was nice, however I was really taken aback by all the homeless people and junkies literally right outside the Disneyland Resort gates. After many visits to Disney World and Disneyland Paris which are both within their own bubbles in the...

    Food Court Refurb at Pop

    I suppose I like it, very generic, empty and sterile though. I did just notice this though, the board outside still reads 'Classic Concoctions', that was the name of the cocktail bar located in the back of Everything Pop which closed in 2007(?) Was certainly boarded up on my 2008 trip. It's...

    How much was Walt involved with Haunted Mansion before his death?

    If you have Disney+, I suggest watching the Haunted Mansion episode of 'Behind the Attraction', it covers all this type of stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behind_the_Attraction

    Quality of available merchandise significantly reduced?

    The stuff in the parks is now just the same generic stuff they carry at the Disney Store, not even Disney Parks branded anymore. I didn't buy very much on my last two trips as I know that if I did want it, I can just order it off the Disney Store website, it's often cheaper on there too with...

    Do you think Disney will ever make a really impressive playground again?

    Epcot got this cheap generic off the shelf set not too long ago. Always busy from what I saw which shows Disney doesn’t even need to spend money on elaborate theming. The kids seemed happy.

    I never understood why Disney public transportation sucks s

    The station at Disneyland Paris (MLV/Chessy) was an extension of the existing RER A line and was specifically extended to get people from Paris to Disney easily, and later high speed rail was added in 1994 to get people from London, Brussels, Amsterdam and Frankfurt to Disney directly. It cost...

    I never understood why Disney public transportation sucks s

    Which is a shame. We always took the direct Eurostar from St Pancras direct to Disneyland, super easy and always great service. Haven't been back since they discontinued the service, it's one of the factors why, but I'm sure changing at Lille isn't particularly complicated, just another added...

    When Miyazaki passed away, when you be opposed to Disney attempting to purchase studio Ghibili ?

    Studio Ghibli has lost its way, the last bunch of movies have been crap. The Boy and the Heron was terrible. Which is sad. About time Miyazaki retires for good before he tarnishes his legacy further. I don’t think Disney, whose latest releases have also been dire, can help save it.

    I never understood why Disney public transportation sucks s

    I was so excited when they announced Brightline was getting stations at MCO, Disney and Universal, I thought this would be the simplest and fastest way to travel not just from the airport but between the Disney and Universal resorts as well as down to Miami should you want. But Disney being...

    Disney Experiences Cast Members May Now Swear Onstage?

    Oh wow 😂 I'm sure he got a speaking to afterward. On my last trip to WDW in September 2022, I found the standard of CMs to have dropped significantly. Mostly young females, very rude, self absorbed, slouching about talking, completely disinterested in the job at hand, clearly only there for the...

    News Peter Pan's Flight scene updates

    I think it's fine, I just hate that the characters are not in keeping with the artistic style of the rest of the ride/movie and so they stand out. They look pretty bad at WDW for this reason and because being new, they're movements are too smooth and fluid whereas the other AAs are old and move...

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    I don't like it, looks like the floor got damaged and they did a half arsed job fixing it by throwing mismatching sand and concrete on top of it. If this is just one then it looks awful, if they dot these around the land then it would be more cohesive and not quite so bad.

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    The Tiger Lily is fine but the rest of the characters do not fit the artistic style and stick out like a sore thumb and look completely out of place. Just Tiger Lily on her own would have sufficed, or just removing the scene and replacing it with a brand new one would have worked fine. The whole...

    Is the Country Bear Jamboree better now or worse?

    So much better now. It’s brighter, has more energy, recognisable songs, the AAs are better and just all around a much better show. The original was dated, dark and dusty, you could literally smell the mustiness and decay. The songs were way past it, and a little disturbing for today’s audience...
