    What WDW does worse than the DLR

    I'll have to watch a POV video of POTC in Disneyland. BTW, can anyone remind me: in POTC in WDW, what was originally in that scene that now has Jack Sparrow sitting on a throne?

    Is there no nighttime parade in the MK anymore?

    :devilish::devilish::devilish::facepalm::devilish: Huh! That's the interesting thing when you don't go to WDW that often - it's always a bright, new, DIFFERENT tomorrow! Thanks for the answer. I'm actually thanking my lucky stars that the Electric Water Parade still exists. It's a miracle.

    What WDW does worse than the DLR

    POTC at Shanghai Disney looks pretty cool from the videos, but I prefer the old-school version at WDW. I probably went on POTC once at Disneyland in the 70s, but don't remember, and certainly don't know what it's like now so can't comment. Maybe you just meant Disneyland's POTC is better than...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Sorry, I haven't read this thread, so am asking questions probably answered before. 1) Why is the Tron coaster going into the MK? Or, has Disney given any "explanation" for that decision? Maybe because it fits in with Tomorrowland's current theming of things that used to seem futuristic but no...

    Separate Parks In Universal Orlando?

    I didn't know they charge separate admission to each! I've only been to Disneyland once, and it was in the 70s, so there was no DCA. But I get your point.

    Separate Parks In Universal Orlando?

    I've never been to Universal Orlando, so this is a noob question and probably something that's been discussed a lot (unless I'm completely wrong), but: Are the parks at Universal large enough and separated enough "distance-wise" from each other that they can really be considered separate parks...

    Is there no nighttime parade in the MK anymore?

    Wow, sensitive issue, eh? :) I do think it's strange that they have the daytime parade and not the nighttime parade. Just because the nighttime parades look better, IMO. Also, I have zero interest in the MK stage shows - IMO if they were going to ditch some entertainment that should have been...

    Favorite Horror Movies? (Official Horror Movie Thread)

    My favorite horror films are the classic, black & white, Universal ones. Such great atmosphere! I've lost my taste for any of the slasher films. Too much real horror in the news to be able to enjoy those.

    What is "it" that brings you back to WDW?

    For me it's simple: It's the dark rides, the audio-animatronics, and the coasters. I've always loved all that stuff. Don't know if anyone knows this place, but I grew up going to Rye Playland in Rye, NY. It's the park used in the beginning of the Tom Hanks movie "Big." They have a dark ride...

    Pirates ride, where's the mermaids?

    I don't think I ever saw the talking skull. I think we somehow missed its residency. I do remember taking a flash photo of the skeleton at the ship's wheel with my Kodak Instamatic camera in the 70s (with flashcube!), and hearing a female voice say "Please, no flash photography" or something to...

    Avatar Flight of Passage Size Concern

    Thanks, Master Yoda! That was the most helpful video I've seen really. It's looks like fun, but actually pretty mild. Someone in another post somewhere made it sound like the seats went upside down at some point - not sure how they got that. Anyway, this gives me a much better idea of how it all...

    Permanent Ralph Breaks The Internet Family Play Zone Debuts at Epcot

    It took me a pretty long time to make sense of the title of this thread! I've never seen Wreck it Ralph, and had pretty much forgotten there was a Disney character called Ralph. And I didn't know these were called "Family Play Zones." I just call them playgrounds. So "Ralph breaks the internet...

    Too many hotels?

    So you mean that they should add even cheaper Disney-owned hotels than the current value resorts on property? I have no opinion on this, just trying to clarify.

    Too many hotels?

    Another thing I'm not sure about, but don't they somewhat enforce this by not letting people park at resorts/hotels unless they're registered there? Or is the problem people making ADR's and then parking on property and using Disney Transportation?

    Too many hotels?

    Are park attendance limits determined with consideration of some regulating agency's guidelines? Or does Disney just determine the limits on their own?

    Too many hotels?

    I'm not at all versed in DVC. Why are you worried that demand will go down? Do you (or most) DVC owners rely on selling DVC points to other people?

    Trip Report The "how did it all go so horrible wrong" August trip to the world, let the madness begin. LOL COMPLETE

    Very enjoyable trip report, Eliza! One question: at the end there, did you mean your relative in the wheelchair had a DAS pass and they wouldn’t honor it at FoP and give you a return time? Or did she not have a DAS pass? Or were there too many people in your party?

    Trip Report COMPLETED!!! 2 Brits, 2 weeks and 2 Tonnes of fun!!!

    I don't know anything about DVC, but if your parents are DVC members, you couldn't use their membership to stay on property? Maybe on of your parents would have had to be with you?

    Oh, just change the post where you say you'll be T to say you'll be N. Much easier! I just thought someone else was involved for a bit.
