    Confirmed Closing Date for Maelstrom?

    Didn't they just spend some money fixing up Maelstrom? I was delighted because it was in a pretty sorry state in 2012. Whatever about the ride, I think it would be awful if they replaced Norway as a whole. It would break World Showcase for me. Pandora in Animal Kingdom is bad enough. Also...

    1981 WDW Resort TV video

    Brilliant stuff. I've said it before, but i'd love if this site had an "archive" section that was curated.

    The Spirited 8th Wonder (WDW's Future & You!)

    Wait, you're paying 6-8 thousands dollars for a Disney trip? I'd like to see a breakdown on your costs because that seems incredibly high for someone who's looking to do a decent affordable WDW visit. Again, stay off-site. You'll get a better room for a substantially better price. Stay in a...

    Big Thunder Mountain's worth.

    Those kids sure can't get enough of those 1930's movie tie-ins.

    Why do you stay off site?

    I've yet to rent a car in Orlando. Quite a few Downtown Disney Hotels have or share a free bus service. I remember Holiday Inn stopped at three or four hotels along the way. It was never crowded though and was decent enough in terms of times IIRC every hour in July/August. Hilton Bonnet...

    The Spirited 8th Wonder (WDW's Future & You!)

    I've yet to rent a car in Orlando. Another plus point for the WA/HBC was the excellent bus service.

    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    This makes me very happy. 3D has blighted my cinema going since Avatar, but it decline does seem terminal at this stage. For ages it was nigh on impossible to get a decent 2D showing of some movies. Avatar and more recently Gravity are my only real positive experiences of the format. That's...

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    Then where would I get my daily quota of incredibly defensive postings?

    How do I say this delicately...I've come to the conclusion that he's neither a shill or a troll, but on the evidence given, somebody who has a "unique perspective" on the world. So maybe we should just recognise that there's no real barrier for entry to the net and that it's inclusive of all...

    Why is that? Is it a tacit admission that their own Deluxes aren't up to scratch?

    I keep seeing the term "lifestylers" being mentioned here? I've an idea, but I could really do with a definition.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    Didn't they just have a major repaint of SL (happens quite often IIRC) and they've definitely replaced the character billboards in SHI this past year.

    Upkeep of Rides - What rides have people noticed are in need of some serious attention.

    I've said this in the Hotel forum.. but these types of threads could really do with photos. If you see something that's below par, take a photo and put it up. It's a lot harder to dismiss than a couple of sentences and has a far greater impact - Hopefully spurring somebody into action.

    From what I've seen, Americans seem to pay through the nose for phones.

    Apparently that'll be the new water park "Wonder Sea", the third gate will be in the other region.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    Taken for Parkscope The Wet N' Wild area with surrounds land... http://www.parkscope.net/2013/06/universal-acquires-wet-and-wild-in-full.html IIRC there is also a second, very significant expansion south of IOA.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    Orlando united and Parkscope both had fairly detailed news/threads on the extent of Universal's acquisitions.

    Apple products are much cheaper in the US than in the EU e.g iPad Air $499 (excl sales tax) vs ~$680 dollars at home. The only reason I went to Mall at Millenia last time was to pick one up. I'd imagine that's a fairly common story for most of us over here. It's the same for most tech...

    Going by the OU podcasts, he does seem like a sardonic kinda guy. Still, I'm not sure he's that cruel. Slightly optimistic.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    This is going back a while, but I seem to remember reading that was in fact Disney's thought process. That WWOHP was a good thing and that it would bring them more business. Didn't work out that way though. Hopefully more knowledgeable posters can expand on that. Take me for example. I'm...
