Given what they charge for their rooms, this type of half-'d work is completely unacceptable.

I agree entirely; but those points have been already made before. Universal has apparently just greenlit their Jurassic Park expansion. As for progress on Avatar land..... nada.

Ah, but AK wasn't envisaged as being a park devoted to reality. There's always been the promise of Mythical creatures - please no need to get into the debate on fictional vs mythical beings. e.g.

Along with the rumoured third gate.

In no particular order... Haunted Mansion Forbidden Journey Spider-man Thunder Mountain The fifth spot is agony for me. I'm going to go with Test-track, although there are quite a few attractions that could take its place.

Speaking as a European, It'd be an extremely rare beast that couldn't roam on AT&T. CDMA on the other hand is useless for us.

Verizon is CDMA right? That would be useless for a lot of tourists on roaming.

I assure you she has. Didn't know her name till this thread, but a presence that annoying doesn't go away easily. Showed the picture to my wife and she identified her straight away, although she says it was on the hotel bus for Universal. I remember her promoting Disney. It was definitely her.

Where did I say Disney transportation?

Casinos are fine on the high seas but you won't find them on a Disney ship. It'd take a major turn around for Disney to embrace them. I (maybe) could see them opening up on a completely separate brand - think how they used Touchstone for more mature movies. Brother in law is just back from...

Stacey made me wish I rented a car in 2011. I found her to be incredibly false and massively irritating. Natural enthusiasm is infectious and really helps sell an experience, Stacey's seems to come from a lifetime of overly dramatic acting and Bolivian marching powder. Interestingly, her...

I first visited Universal in 2011 at the ripe old age of 31. The one thing that struck me was how dated Studios felt, or rather more precisely, how out of time the whole place was e.g. Men in Black (it had been nine years since the last movie), Beetlejuice (1988), Twister (1996), The Mummy (a...

Scotland must certainly is a country, as is England, Wales and Northern Ireland. You'd be a brave man to suggest otherwise to a Scot. The name of the 26 counties is "Ireland", "Republic of Ireland" is the name of the soccer team and can be used to refer to the country but the official name is...

I'd also recommend the WA. It's much cheaper than a Disney Deluxe and the quality is far better. It is essentially a wing of the Hilton, the two hotels are connected via the conference facilities. WA is (maybe at most)a third the size of the Hilton, which helps make it much quieter, slightly...

It still amazes me that chip and pin CC hasn't rolled out in the U.S. There's always that moment when you pay and your card disappears in a restaurant and you think how ropey and unsecure the old system is.

If we're talking about MK: Adventureland & Frontierland would be well down on my list of priorities when you consider the concrete expanse that is Tomorrowland.

Expensive Hostels.

I still have this theory that Disney are purposely delaying the project. That confidence is extremely low in the property and they'd like to see the reaction to the first sequel before they fully commit. If it performs like the first, or wins the summer, then all is good. If it turns into After...

I'm ignoring it because it's totally irrelevant. What people don't know about doesn't worry them. The time to completion after a project enters the sphere of public consciousness is the only time that matters to Joe Public.

Demolition of Jaws began in January 2012, DA was announced in May 2013 and they'll be open in 2014. Avatar was announced 2011 and will be open ????. Nobody pushed Disney into making an ill-timed announcement, it was up to them to have their ducks lined up. The failure to deliver is on them...
