    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    I agree but this is much better than some generic overpriced place like the ice cream shop next door. I'm excited for this new restaurant and bakery. My wife and girls will love doing the afternoon tea.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    For us it will probably go from a 2-3 times a trip ride to a once a trip. My boys are upset that so much stuff is princess related in WDW, I doubt they'll ever want to ride it more than once but maybe. Again, depends how good they do with it.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Personally I like NRJ for what it is but the environments are just too flat and the ride lacks memorable moments outside of the awesome AA at the end. It's a good C ticket though. But lacking memorable moments is what happens when you use screens and have hardly any physical AA's. Due to the...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I know this will be an unpopular opinion but I'm excited for the new DVC rooms. I have 5 kids which is about to put Poly out of reach since we can't stay in a Bungalow. I am apprehensive though. The Poly is one of my favorite places in WDW so I'm hoping they pull off something that fits well...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Failure as in, going from tons of animatronics to just a few, more poorly incorporated screens, cheap special effects, weak story, etc. Nothing they've revealed so far and nothing they've done recently gives me hope that the failures listed above won't happen. Navi River Journey and Frozen are...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    As much as I adore this ride, if they're going to let it fall into such disrepair so frequently just put it out of it's misery and get this refurbishment going. I still think it's going to be a massive failure. Really nice from the outside because they can sell tickets with photos of it for...

    Disney plans hiring freeze, some jobs cut......

    Significant cuts would put Disney's total employee count back down to around where it was in 2013 or 2014. Think about that. Avatar wasn't open, Star wars wasn't open, they had less cruise ships, less resorts than they do now and they plan to operate at the same employee level. That's why I...

    Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2022 Earnings Results Webcast

    Why are people talking about Disney being bought out? This is the literal worst time in modern history for a large company to buy another large company. The cost to borrow is astronomically higher than just a year ago. And no it doesn't matter how much cash they have on hand, no company burns...

    News Disney CEO Bob Chapek reiterates his belief that park reservations are now an essential part of Disney's theme parks business

    This system is not sustainable and they will eventually abandon this reservation system. The logistics of this, the servers, technicians, support, etc. will quickly become more cost and burden than it's worth once the labor shortage issue is resolved. I give it 2-3 years and the reservation...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    This was exceptionally written and I really appreciate the explanation. As someone who watched the show 1 time in person and twice in high def on youtube the only thing you mentioned that I was able to catch during was the earth formation volcano part at the beginning. After that it's all just...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    It's nice orchestral music with an awesome firework show. Not sure how it's anymore "Epcot" than harmonious. I just went and rewatched it on youtube, doesn't seem to have anything to do with any of the world showcase pavilions and just a generic message of global unity. Nostalgia makes people...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    If it makes you feel better we all generally thought the new Magic Kingdom show was a complete failure.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Just saw Harmonious for the first time last week. A stunning, beautiful, tour de force. Every single person we were with and everyone around us loved it. I don't understand the criticism at all regarding if it fits in epcot. The movie choices are mostly specifically chosen to highlight a...

    News Sneak peek of 'Strange World' at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Ugh, was excited for this till I saw all the Raya people involved. That film was pretty awful with a very poorly developed world and story. I get it was probably partially a victim of covid production issues. Just a huge missed opportunity of a film.

    News Disney World's latest popcorn bucket release generates queues despite Mobile Order reservation system

    Here now in the parks. Mr Toad is a childhood favorite and the first ride I ever rode at Disney World. You can bet that I left HS and made a special trip to MK to get one. It will sit proudly on my small shelf of Mr Toad stuff. Every time I see it I will remember this trip and also my first...

    Top of the World Reopening Soon

    I'm confused about the Wicked Wind Down. We are owners at Bay Lake Tower and going down tomorrow. On Wednesday our friends staying at Caribbean who are not DVC members wanted to go to the Top Of The World Wednesday night with us to watch fireworks and grab some food. I believe there is a Wicked...

    News 2021 Theme Index

    8 years from now is a long time for things to change. And it's not about how much you spend as a business, it's what you get in return for that spend.

    News 2021 Theme Index

    I wonder if all the "Disney doesn't care about Epic Universe" people still think that. Universal is a huge threat to Disney's future dominance, and Disney knows that. The MK expansion and AK expansions were shown in desperation. AK expansions will be a letdown and probably not open in time to...

    News Walt Disney World Christmas holidays 2022

    Whatever your hearing is speculation. Disney probably doesn't even know for sure at this point. You make the lights once. You hang them once. You turn them on every night. Doesn't get much cheaper than that. Those projectors cost a fortune to run and operate (fix, etc.). The castle lights...
