    Haunted Mansion Observations

    The hanging body in the Portrait Gallery has been removed. There is nothimg in the rafters as the lights go out. I guess its just as well. It was dead weight anyway. Also I noticed what appears to be candlelight in the graveyard scene. Don't remember that before.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I'm reading this in late October and you wrote this in late August. The reason is that these AAs react due to the motion of the logs coming near them. This wasn't needed with Splash. Guests could figure out what was going on. But Tiana needs AAs to describe the plot as you float through...

    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    After the BTMRR refurb, they really need to take SM down for its own refurb. I'm past wanting to ride it anymore. It's too bumpy for my tastes.

    Price hike coming 10/9

    So when do the ticket prices take effect? I realize those prices are for "select dates" (i.e. beginning November) but does the increase take effect for those immediately, i.e. today?

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    11/8 and 11/11 makes a lot of sense selling out first. That's Veterans Day weekend. Veterans Day is Monday 11/11.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    Yep. It's easier to see the per person cost when you select in advance as per day previously. All the pending costs are shown immediately on my credit card account. Easier to extrapolate out the potential profit that Disney makes. Obviously, there is no going back on free FastPasses. That's...

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    Thanks all. I'll probably wear a Christmas hat and shirt on 11/1 just because. Other than that one day, no holiday trip this year.

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    Any decorations out on 11/1? I have Pixie Dust pass so won't be able to experience anything on 11/2, other than meandering Disney Springs a little bit. I'm checking out and going home that day.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    So today, I got to 7 days out to make my single- and multi-pass selections. There is no chance on WDW ever going back to free advance fastpasses per day. I made all my advance selections for M-F, 10/28-11/1. My cost came to $241.92. Now multiply that times the millions of visitors per park per...

    The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, What the Heck?

    You haven't had "Cakes by Pat" which you can purchase from the Busy Bee at Exit 283 (Live Oak) along I-10. That's about the price for the entire cake. Yum!

    The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, What the Heck?

    Most cake slices are $24. Let's say 8 slices per cake. That's $192. But I guess it depends on the size of the cake and how many slices you could get out it. A local talk show host in Tallahassee just did a segment on it and how outrageous the prices are. To his credit, he didn't necessarily...

    I'll be at WDW in less than 11 days. Who knew I would need to spend so much time in Frontierland? Tiana: First time riding it CBMJ: First time experiencing it BTMRR: Ride it before it's taken down for more than a year Visit TSI: Probably for the last time Ride Liberty Belle (technically in...

    I check out on 11/2. I should hop over to MK just to take in some holiday decor and ride it before I drive home.

    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    So is Tiana going to have the annual winter refurb before BTMRR closes? Or, since it's so new no refurb for Tiana this year to make up for BTMRR slack. If the latter, I suppose it will go down for refurb a year later BTMRR re-opens in little more than year.

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    An asteroid is about to drop on Dinoland and create Tropical Americas. It's almost like what really happened. An asteroid slammed into what is now the Gulf of Mexico causing the dinosaurs to be wiped out. The earth is resilient. After millions of years, Tropical Americas, along with the rest...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Right. They would be wearing the same types of headsets used during tours like in Keys to the Kingdom. Only those walking around can hear the conversation. These may be equipped with all headsets having microphones as opposed to only the guide in tours so that they can talk to each other.
