    Jungle Cruise effects

    So I re-rode JC Friday night and somehow all of the issues with my initial ride through were addressed: No catatonic animals, the temple tiger was moving and roaring with his eyes lit up, and the temple monkeys were moving as well. Both skippers I had used a joke I hadn’t heard before at the...

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway SPOILER Thread

    Mickey affecting a Walt Disney voice kills me. “To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Potatoland is your land.” Also, Goofy’s “But I SALUTED YOU.”

    News Haunted Mansion To Remain Closed For Unknown Reasons

    The CG ghosts are just plain embarrassing. My brain knows there’s fakery happening and makes the ride end with a thunk (Little Leota of course does her best to make up for it, but). The rod puppets are physical props, like 99% of the ghosts that proceed them and are infinitely more believable...

    News Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway opening day reports

    Waited about an hour and 45 minutes for this. I’ve never been on property for opening day of any attraction, and I’m so glad I was able to experience it. It’s zany, and to me, really technically impressive. This is coming from someone who adores the divisive new shorts, but I found the...

    News Haunted Mansion To Remain Closed For Unknown Reasons

    Oh my, I could present an hour long thesis on my hatred of Constance: how she replaced a mournful/menacing bride with unclear motives to a cackling, ham fisted, pun spewing, not-open-for-debate murderess. How the effect is a projection on a styrofoam wig model head one could purchase at their...

    News Haunted Mansion To Remain Closed For Unknown Reasons

    And maybe bring back the beating heart bride. I’ve said this numerous times, but I despise Constance Hatchaway. Edit: hopefully it’s back up by Friday, I leave Saturday morning and have only gotten to ride my favorite ride once so far. Edit part deux: And so with my natural bad luck, of course...

    Jungle Cruise effects

    I’m attempting to rope drop FoP today at AK, but when I’m at MK again, I think I’ll do just that. I’ve never in my life been the “I need to speak to your supervisor” type, but they need to know.

    Jungle Cruise effects

    Hi everyone, I don’t post as often as I used to (leaving your desk job will do that I suppose), but still lurk from time to time. I’m in WDW for the first time in about 5 years, and went to MK yesterday. We rode Jungle Cruise and I was honestly low-key appalled at the operating quality of the...

    Is it possible to purchase the novelty glasses from Trader Sam’s outright?

    Good morning, everyone. I’m currently throwing together last minute plans for a trip to WDW-I’ll be going at the end of February. I’m planning on where to eat/etc and saw that Trader Sam’s has this great Nautilus tiki mug, but it’s meant as a drink for 2, and my party and I aren’t the biggest...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Sad, really: I generally find Eric Idle to be charming and hilarious in other things I’ve seen him in-but Nigel Channing is such a misfire. Shut up, Nigel! You’re not my real dad!

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Honestly, yeah. And I was young, I didn’t know/care about things like pulling of corporate sponsorships, or what that meant at Epcot. I just remember riding around in darkness, being startled/scared of the machines exploding in my face, (I swear they were louder and more intense in V2 than they...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I remember running to Imagination on a family trip as a preteen after remembering how much I loved Figment and Dreamfinder in the original. Imagination was the priority, I had to see that amazing turntable scene and hear One Little Spark again. I was unaware it had been changed since our last...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    @marni1971 I must second/third/fourth the thank you for being so forthcoming when you can and (somehow) remaining so polite despite the hundreds of pings you must receive. I’d have destroyed my tablet by now out of frustration for sure.

    News Future World confirmed to be split into 3 neighborhoods

    So after digesting yesterday’s announcements, I’ve decided to remain as cautiously optimistic as possible. As has been pointed out countless times, Epcot Center is dead, and has been for decades. The separation into Neighborhoods will go a long way in “future-proofing” the pavilions, and there...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Um. I didn’t know how badly I wanted this until now.

    You’re not wrong. I hate to come away feeling so negative, but today was mostly a bust for me.

    Also, is the Doctor Strange attraction just the outdoor Jedi Training Academy with a new coat of paint? They could have created a truly surreal dark ride or even a fun house with that IP.

    News D23 Expo 2019

    So glad I’m not the only one. The land looks no more immersive than Disney Springs or any similar complex.

    Also, and I do not wish to be insensitive or disrespectful to the affected families, but the wording they used-something like “granting wishes that last a lifetime” isn’t as profound when recipients are quite often terminally ill.
