    The Tipping Point For Change

    Something isn't "nostalgia" if it's still part of the popular culture... Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" maybe be 84 years old but it's still relevant and entertaining to people today... Mr Toad, Davy Crockett, and Song of the South on the other hand, are not really part of the...

    Rumor Hollywood insiders say there's growing tension at Disney as CEO Bob Chapek chafes at Bob Iger's 'long goodbye'

    Bob Chapek is the worst kind of guy to be running a creative/service company like Disney. He's completely focused on "short term" earnings which will make him and the stock holders a lot of money quickly... but it'll be a disastrous "long term" if you annoy all the creative people who make your...

    DINOSAUR merch removed

    This is probably part of the problem, it's been a few years since I rode it but I remember it seemed like not much of the Dino merch was made by Disney, it was a lot of 3rd part Dino related t-shirts and things

    Orlando Becoming East Coast Headquarters for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products

    I think Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products should be focused in Orlando ...because Orlando has become the "Focus of the Theme Park Industry". I can't believe they keep cramming things in to Disneyland Park when there are so many "future expansion" areas around the WDW property, areas that...

    Parades Based On Individual Movies... Gone For Good?

    I think Hercules and Mulan are the reason they stopped doing these parades, both films weren't as big a hit as the previous films Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King. So they stopped doing parades dedicated to a single film, but "Disney" was such a huge force in American popular...

    Why do they not use the same ride systems within resorts?

    I'd rather they have several of the "low tech" flat dark rides like Pooh, Pinocchio, and Alice in Wonderland than 1 large high tech ride with a giant line that maybe you even get to see... like Star Wars Rise of the Resistance

    More Fantasyland dark rides

    Disneyland has several of those small dark rides in their Fantsayland, I just think since Magic Kingdom should have just as many, but since MK is so large each land could have a themed dark ride... going to MK with little kids, those kind of rides are great but the lines are so long with just...

    More Fantasyland dark rides

    There's a Tangeled ride coming to one of the overseas park, Tokyo Disney Sea? Disney Studio in Paris? maybe both... I think The Germany pavilion at Epcot for that boat ride

    More Fantasyland dark rides

    Given how long the lines are for Peter Pan and Pooh at WDW, I think every land should have those type of dark rides... Stitch should have some kind of dark ride in Tomorrowland, The Jungle Book should have one in Adventureland, Pocahontas in Frontierland, and Some version of DL's Alice and...

    Construction between Contemporary and TTC

    The way they are racing to add Disney characters to the Poly, Contemporary, Grand Floridian, and Wilderness Lodge ...I wouldn't be surprised if they announced a new hotel of Disney characters/Fantasyland theme, on that 50 year old hotel site, during the 50th anniversary. It'd be a reason to...

    Construction between Contemporary and TTC

    ...but what are they protecting the monorail beam from? what could possibly danger a 17 foot high monorail beam on a dirt road?

    Construction between Contemporary and TTC

    Just for reference... this Caterpillar 772G Dump Truck has a max height of 12.8 feet, which is well below both the monorail beam and the 15 foot black and yellow marker that was just in stalled. A dump truck like this might be used to add "filler" to the "less than suitable land" for building

    Construction between Contemporary and TTC

    Yeah I was referencing that accident at MK ...because it was a large vehicle on a regular road, a fairly busy road too. You wouldn't really need to add those type markers if you only had Jeeps and Pick-up trucks or other "Standard Off-Road Vehicles" on a dirt road, the dirt road has been there...

    Construction between Contemporary and TTC

    Those 15 foot markers, with the yellow and black "caution tape" across the top, are to make sure no vehicle large that 15 foot uses that dirt road... basically so there won't be another lager vehicle hitting the 17.5 foot monorail beam between. That being said, 15 foot is pretty high, so it...

    So how would WDW be without the coasters?

    ummmm? is this not a "roller-coaster" that Walt liked?

    Do FastPasses create longer waits or do they not have any affect at all?

    There are only so many FP+ for each ride each day. When you go to book a FP+ you only get certain "available windows of time" to choose from... So No FP+ doesn't not make the wait times any longer than they would have been without it, if anything it limits the over all wait time. The only...

    Scentsy and Walt Disney World are bringing a new guest experience within Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom

    So Disney has realized 3rd party company like The Magic Candle Company have been making money selling candles scented like areas of their parks and resorts and is getting in on that action Or in other words... Disney smells money with scented candles

    How intense is Everest?

    I don't like Everest I always feel dizzy afterward. The backwards parts and the velocity of it bothers me, feels like my blood presser drops or something. I've never been on Mission Space the same reason and only rode Rock-n-Roller Coaster 1 time when it first opened, and had similar effects.

    Anyone dislike the volggers content?

    I've watched the Resort TV1 steams, once in a while since they started doing them, they're very positive and "family friendly". They're almost like "unofficial cast members" with the fun vibe and positive attitude. If some special event is going on, or I just want to see the parks I watch them...

    Comparing Disney to Six Flags makes zero sense

    Walt Disney built his parks to be "places where the parents and kids can have fun together" WDW and Epcot of the 1980's fit that description well, and was the reason my family went there. EPCOT Center was not only filled with things you couldn't see anywhere else, but Mom Dad, Grandma, and the...
