    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I try to follow the track with my sight line as much as possible on any attraction that could make me motion sick. In this case for guardians, turn your head to face the track. If I couldn’t do that, I just closed my eyes until I felt we were forward. That being said, I think the main issue for...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I get queasy on any simulator ride. Smugglers, rocking rollercoaster, FOP all get me a bit off. I still ride them but I know when to close my eyes for a moment to help me orient myself. Star tours I refuse to get on. For guardians, I just closed my eyes during the parts where I felt off. My...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I think pricing it so low to begin with was the initial problem IMO. It easy enough to mentally spend that money thinking you’d be able to skip lines, only to find out everyone else thought the same thing and now there are no options. Now you’ve got angry people thinking they had an advantage...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I personally like the new plans. I think as plants grow in, the garden will be a favorite of many in search for some shade and just the overall atmosphere. Just coming back from Disneyland Paris, one of my favorite parts of the park was the mature landscaping and the Fantasyland gardens. If we...

    Wishes and HEA Returns (for cast appreciation)

    Yeah, hearing Wishes gave me insta tears last night. Keep in mind, most of the CM’s that were there started when Wishes was in it’s prime so of course that got the most reactions. It was an awesome night and it was so great to celebrate all the CM’s who have worked so hard for so many years! I...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    To be honest, it looks like G+ is working similarily to the old paper Fastpass system on the busy days where the FP will “sell out” fairly quickly on the busiest days. It’s just depleting it’s inventory faster because it can be done remotely instead of running to that attraction first thing. The...

    News Disney Springs Begins Phased Reopening on May 20

    They are guidelines suggested by the CDC. Disney is implementing those guidelines. Better to be safe than sorry. But it’s also why we aren’t bringing our young son to the parks anytime soon. We know we can’t comply, so we won’t go.

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    And it‘s also perfectly ok to want to cancel your reservation too (no snark, being sincere). If you and your family are simply not comfortable traveling to WDW or feel like your money is not going as far as it would have (also true), it’s reasonable to want to cancel. Disney will still be here...

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    This is all great news. Much easier to wipe out the system and start fresh considering everything that has gone on. It would take infinitely more time to sort out everyone’s mess of reservations and whether they are even considering coming or just leaving on the books “just in case”. Now...

    News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

    It honestly just looks like the castle in the BEST POSSIBLE morning light. I'm down.

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    I get what you're saying, I really do. No one should put blind trust is any system. But in terms of this conversation of receiving a statement that basically implied that some fault was human error regarding procedures, do we really need to know the dirty details of every possible fault and...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    How would it make a difference to the average guest visiting if these questions were answered? I'm asking sincerely because I'm guessing the majority visiting wouldn't give a second thought to these questions about the system when riding it. I imagine they trust the system that Disney built and...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    Just because they didn't outline that in this statement, why would you believe they aren't trying to minimize the impact of the start/stop? The system has been open to guests for a total of seven days now. Shouldn't we give them some time to figure things out from a continuous flow of guests?

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    Couldn't your translation statement also describe the monorail system? There are potentially three transportation systems that can get you from TTC to MK in the case of failure. Can't that be the same for the Skyliner? If you don't want to ride the Skyliner, don't and use another form of...

    Eliminating some Florida resident annual passes?

    I've got the Platinum pass, only because my husband is a Cast Member and I would be subject to more blockout dates in the lower tiers than he could get on his Main Gate (which we save his passes for out of town guests). What is going to hurt is that our two year old will need his own pass next...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    That is what I thought all along. Multiple points of failure during the incident. Hopefully it runs much more smoothly now.

    News Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

    So, I saw the show on Sunday and been rewatching it on youtube today. First off, I wasn't really around to experience most of the Epcot songs in this video first hand as a kid. However, I am a huge audiophile of Disney theme park music and listen to it all the time, so I knew what each song was...

    Disney Skyliner shutdown and evacuation - October 6 2019

    I can imagine that operations is trying to run the system like an attraction instead of transportation, so they are trying to push through as many people as possible. Its possible that the speed at which they are trying to load everyone off and on, as well as the spur lines for wheelchair folks...

    Entertainment cuts

    Seems like a reasonable explanation however, to some (including myself) its just one more example of cost cutting/penny pinching measures that management have been taking over the years. I can remember that I used to take advantage of EMH evening hours and having the whole park to ourselves...

    News Crane for Castle Christmas Lights in place

    While this installation seems like a clunky solution, it is actually the most efficient way to get the job done. I would think the labor is cheaper to have the crane up for a month or two ever year than the constant maintenance that comes with adding the lights individually to the castle itself...
