    What WDW restaurant is the best looking???

    Another vote for Cali Grill. I'm going to come out of leftfield though and add Flying Fish.

    Help me, I'm Decision Impaired (How to Get to Disney)

    We drove from DC last year. If your kids can stomach it... I pulled an allnighter, took a halfday at work, took some Zzzzquill and slept from about 3pm to 11pm. We headed out at midnight, everyone slept in the car and I just pushed on through the night. One top at south of the border for gas and...

    Ridiculous: Everyone is forced to stand now in the Wishes fastpass area.

    Can't they just determine the available ground surface area, figure out the average surface area used by a cross legged fully grown adult or a wheel chair, and then determine how many fastpasses they could distribute to let everyone sit? Cut down on the fastpasses you give out and that should...

    Ridiculous: Everyone is forced to stand now in the Wishes fastpass area.

    We used FPs at wishes last 24 hour day... and having been at the park since 5:15am we, and everyone else, sat. I don't see the point of a fastpass area if I still have to stand. I can go anywhere and stand, and I'm pretty sure the people behind me would prefer that I sat my 6'3 self down.

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    I don't disagree. I dont think TDO would know what to do with Marvel. Although, honestly, I dont feel like Universal has done well with it either. I'm not sure that it translates well to theme parks outside of just pure attractions since most of the Marvel universe takes place in present day US...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    I actually think Springfield isn't that bad. It's everything else there that that worries me. It's either going to be mindblowingly amazing or it's going to be overlay-city. This is one of those cases where theming rides isn't going to cut it. I need goombas walking around and skulltulas to pop...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    I actually disagree. I think one huge thing Universal has over WDW is WDW using IP themed fantasy-land esque (I.e. not on the scale of haunted mansion) dark rides too often. I'm much more excited to see pandora/whatever the "ride the avatar thing" will be than I would be to ride through jungle...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    I still don't see how it's farfetched. Universal doesn't have a big theme park investment at Universal. With the exception of Spiderman, every single Marvel ride could be completely rethemed in a month. If Disney offers them a good deal, I absolutely think they'd take it and hopefully use the...

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    but you shouldn't expand it. No one is going to go a theme park based on candy crush, 2048, and 2 dots. If you pay close attention, you cant spend a full day at WDW without seeing someone with a Zelda themed triforce hat or a t-shirt.

    Nintendo partnering with Universal to make attractions.

    this is always been my biggest theme park dream... but as well as they did with HP, I have a terrible feeling Uni is just going to take some of their current rides and retheme them. I.e. Hulk Coaster becomes themed to Link or Luigi. Nintendo needs an entire park! Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule...

    Major 2015 Pirates of the Caribbean Refurbishment Watch/Rumor.

    I'd imagine the length of the DL Space mountain had a lot to do with rebuilding the foundation, which would be impacted by being inside moreso than actually laying new track. It took how long to build the mind train? Did it have to take that long? I'd argue that if it took 2 years for them to...

    Major 2015 Pirates of the Caribbean Refurbishment Watch/Rumor.

    I'm not disagreeing with your points on the need to do sufficient maintenance, but 8 months is more than enough time than what they needed for space mountain. It took BGW about that much time to tear down big bad wolf and put verbolten, a coaster way more advanced than anything at WDW or...

    Space Mountain Refurb?

    I actually prefer the 1x1x1 configuration of our space to DL's side-by-side. I dont know. DL's didn't blow my mind as much as I expected it to based off feedback. Yes, it's way better than ours, and it might be the best coaster at US Disney theme park. But that's about where it stops. If they're...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    I was wondering if anyone was going to take it there. I think Disney is underestimating their customers if they think we dont notice the lack of attention to quality (see monorail), cutbacks on scale (see Poly lobby, disco yeti), and lack of innovation in terms of attraction tech. BUT, I do...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    Hold on a second... The space is too small/the ride is too short for a ride showcasing another disney princess movie, but it was sufficient for a ride embodying the spirit and culture of Norway? Maybe Disney was right. Even the most ardent protectors of WS think Frozen deserves more than Norway.

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    Well there's nowhere in Fantasyland to put it is there? Behind storybook circus? Replace Winnie the Pooh? Thematically, the Norway pavilion makes more sense than any reasonably available place in Fantasyland. If th three choices are 1) Not giving Frozen an attraction, 2) gutting something in the...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    Is it really Disney's duty to have a year round World's Fair without the support of the nations its supposed to represent? Isn't the intent of a World's Fair for the countries to promote themselves? I'm fully aware of the falsity behind the "frozen is here because norway didn't pay their bills"...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    But the architecture is all the same, the people working there are the same, the stave church is there to inspire? They had no daily acts before the frozen invasion. They have lost nothing that all but one of the other pavilions never had. So where is the impact on the inspiration, since you...

    Disney confirms 'Frozen' makeover coming to Epcot's Norway Pavilion

    And how does swapping Maelstrom for Frozen and giving Norway a meet-and-greet change any of that?
