Sigh...not another half-baked MK addition? No offense to you, Spirit, but I'm glad you're taking off after this. I'm leaving for St. Augustine tomorrow, and it means I won't have as many pages to catch up on when I get back. ;) We're off for several days of theme-park-free family fun. Looking...

Hear, hear! Thanks to all who make this site such an informative and entertaining read. (Although it does nothing for my productivity!)

Well, that certainly conjures up a whole different kind of imagery when he talks about his minions!

So, you're saying Spirit is the devil...? ;)

Well, to be fair, women don't plant hair on their legs, either, but we're expected to shave them anyway. Just sayin'. :)

Saw Inside Out last night--absolutely fantastic. I cried like a baby but also laughed out loud many, many times. Some of the best jokes were quite subtle (aren't they always?). It was the perfect combination of heart-string tugging and fun wrapped up in beautiful animation tied together with a...

And yet, with Frozen, they had all the makings of a complex story right there at their fingertips. Elsa was poised to be an incredibly complex character--an isolated, emotionally abused child who is terrified of her own capacity to harm the people she loves, thrust into the role of leading a...

Agree. That's where we're heading for vacation this year.

Pot on stove. Olive oil. Real butter. Old Bay seasoning. Theater popcorn will never come close.

I've thought about this a good deal, and while I agree that MM+ has certainly made this issue worse, I believe the actual culprit for this ride-and-dash trend is overcrowding, at least at the MK. It's impossible to feel immersed when you're being pushed along by a herd that could rival a...

Exactly. Tax law and other business regulations are incredibly complicated in Brazil, and many large, internationally savvy companies simply don't see any benefit in attempting to navigate such a beastly system. And, as has been pointed out a number of times, the Brazilians who want Disney...

Right. These things are just accepted in China--spitting, slurping, shoving to get on the bus. None of it is meant to be rude; it's a different approach to manners. But it can be shocking to Western sensibilities.

Yes. Manners are completely different in China from what we're accustomed to in the West. Before the Olympics the powers that be recognized how off-putting some acceptable Chinese behavior might be to the rest of the world and launched huge campaigns to try to change things like spitting in the...

The writing was incredibly overwrought, no doubt. But the editing process takes place before publication. You don't pull an article down after the fact because you suddenly realized the writing was poor. I have no clue what happened--I'm not an insider. But I don't think journalistic quality was...

I find it interesting that, despite the fact that something like 2 million Chinese visit the U.S. each year, WDW does not offer maps in Chinese. Japanese, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, yes. But no Chinese. Interpret as you see fit. ;)

Here's my light-hearted contribution to the ECV discussion: I was at WDW at the end of January. While waiting for the bus to leave MK, we struck up a conversation with a woman and her daughter in line behind us. The mom was at least in her 70s...and was completely railing on "all those...

Never caught fire? Clearly you were doing something wrong. ;)

If you want to do ABSOLUTELY everything, no. But my husband and I had a single day at DLR last summer and made a very substantial dent in seeing both parks.

I prefer Maru myself, but Lil Bub is cute, too. ;)
