    Is there no nighttime parade in the MK anymore?

    I guess I've been out of the loop for a while. Is there no longer any nighttime parade in the MK, even when there's no MNSSHP? Every time I've been at the MK (except maybe in the 70s - I don't remember!) we saw the Electric Light Parade. I never saw that one that replaced it. But now it looks...

    Avatar Flight of Passage Size Concern

    I've seen POV videos of the ride, but never seen what the seats look like in action. Do they move around that much, and quickly? Somehow I didn't think so, but I guess they must because the back restraints look like are closed pretty tight. I'll be experiencing it soon - I hope!

    Angels tell Anaheim they're opting out of their lease on Angel Stadium

    I'm not a big baseball fan (only a sometimes Yankees fan), so I thought they were still called the California Angels. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim is a crazily cumbersome name! Wow. I actually never even thought of how weird it is that some teams are named for the state their in, and some...

    How early do you put up your Christmas decorations? And when do you take them down?

    We used to buy fairly large trees, and they'd have been tied up for a long time, so we let the branches "settle" for a few days. Also, I think it is or was a fairly common thing to decorate the tree on Christmas Eve, but we (and probably most people) didn't want to be going out and buying a tree...

    Just what the heading says. Thinking late afternoon through the night.

    How early do you put up your Christmas decorations? And when do you take them down?

    We always bought a tree about a week before Christmas, then put on the lights and decorations on Christmas eve. My mom always impressed me by taking off all the decorations and lights on New Years Day. We had a lot of different strings of lights, so my dad would always write down the order in...

    Sold out october 13-15,2018

    It's funny to think though, that some of them are staying in Little Mermaid themed rooms, Royal Guest rooms, pirate ship beds, etc.

    Sold out october 13-15,2018

    I never have understood these "conferences" that take place at WDW. Do any of these people go without their families? Is it just an excuse to go to WDW and sort of pretend they're accomplishing something for their companies?

    Should Disney Operate Na’vi River Journey when the Shaman of Songs is down?

    Would they ever have kept The Hall of Presidents operating if the at-that-time President was down? Maybe, as long as the air conditioning was working...

    Disney hotels are becomes less themed and more generic. Why?

    Here's a question in response to the original poster's question about the theming of the rooms: when did the deluxe Disney resorts start having Club Level rooms? I'm wondering if in part they started making rooms in the deluxe resorts more streamlined and less themed so that people would feel...

    Wow, I've never heard "poke" for a paper bag before. Of course, I'm a northerner. But that's really interesting.

    MNSSHP extremely over crowded

    BTW, what time were these crowds? Just wondering if it was around the early or late parade time, or not close to either parade time. Just want to know for my own planning purposes. It does sound unpleasant!

    MNSSHP extremely over crowded

    If it was the Tuesday before wdisney9000's post, that was the day after Columbus day, so maybe not such an odd Tuesday, as a lot of people extend long weekends a bit, also some college students and instructors were off that day as some get a four-day weekend. If it wasn't that Tuesday, then I...

    Country Bear Jamboree appreciation thread

    I love it - creepy animatronics at their best! I went to WDW once in the 70s and once in 2000, but somehow didn't make it to this attraction until 2013, and we loved it. I vaguely remember being aware of it in the 70s - I might have had some ViewMaster disks with pictures of it. My favorite...

    Ok, I do have a soft spot for Brian Daley, having sat by my stereo and listened to the Star Wars radio adaptation every week back in 1981. I loved that!

    News Tomorrowland love

    The idea of a Tron attraction seems bizarre to me, but I've only seen the original movie, and when I last watched some of it it seemed virtually unwatchable to me.
