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

    I could see how it could be offensive to Norwegian people, and I agree that it doesn't fit the original intention of Epcot as detailed by Walt before Epcot was even built. But honestly, what have you ever learned about a country from a WS pavilion without a show or a direct interaction with...

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

    Oh really? I always thought the World Showcase was designed to get you to spend money on food and drinks? Good to know that the Stave Church is being bulldozed for an Olaf statue, school bread is gone for ho-hos with in plastic labeled with anna's face, and akershus is being torn down, rethemed...

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

    Okay, let's say they were to rip out the rides from the other countries and replace it them disney IPs... then Mexico would then have 2 table services restaurants, 1 counter service restaurant, a tequila bar, a couple of indoor things for kids to do, a couple of shops for adults to visit, and a...

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

    Norway is about Norway. You can get a nonstop flight out of JFK to Oslo for about $550 if you're lucky! Perhaps people should stop trying to get their "culture fix" by spending 20 minutes in a 0.004 square mile pavilion in walt disney world

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

    Yet, everyone here says there's "nothing to do at DHS". Because since you don't feel like them watching it 20 times a year, live action shows should be replaced by toy story playland.

    Napping on Rides/During Shows: Okay or Fau Pax?

    I've been guilty of shaking my head at people sleeping through HoP when it's only 1pm, but I don't honestly really see anything wrong with it. The only time I've actually fallen sleep at WDW was on haunted mansion during last year's 24 hour day. I don't even remember what time it was, but I was...

    Disney's Hollywood Studios Name Change

    Escape from Pompei at BG Williamsburg could easily be rethemed to Indy. It has a pretty small footprint too. May make a good source of inspiration for a DHS Indy flume ride... although that ride is always kind of a letdown

    Norway Pavilion Frozen construction - Frozen Ever After ride

    Any ideas as to what this means for Anna/Elsa at MK? Any ideas as to whether it will open at 9am or with WS at 11? I don't have any interest in them, but it could have a pretty big effect on the morning rush at those two parks

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

    So Oft Kilter's <20% Canadian band sings songs depicting Scotland... because Nova Scotia, the second smallest province in all of Canada, is into that... It's an ideal representation of Canada? I disagree.

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

    2 Floridians, an Irishman, a guy from Kentucky, and a puerto rican forming a celtic band and representing Canada isn't very thematically appropriate either, but no one seems to have a problem begging them to come back and replace the loggers.

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

    So we can't have World Showcase without Maelstrom? As tucked away as Maelstrom was in the Norway pavilion, changing the signage to Frozen doesn't thematically change World Showcase at all. The trolls in Frozen are no less real than the trolls of Maelstrom. Trolls aren't real. Norway is in the...

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

    How different is shoehorning frozen into maelstrom than pretty much everything universal has done in the last 5 years not named Harry Potter? Take something unpopular, gut the building, add in newer, fresher IP to the same building, await while WDWMagic rants about how quickly you're way better...

    Disney's Hollywood Studios Name Change

    I agree with your overall point, but I don't know that there's ENOUGH california to name it after DCA. Carsland has a very West Coast vibe, obviously soarin, the redwood trail, grizzly river run. I think Disney's Hollywood Adventure is probably the best compromise. It's definitely more...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    Just looking around the official site, it looks like Crew's Cup at YC is open from noon to midnight. I don't know how long that's been the case. That place is always filled up in the evenings, but I've never been by in the daytime. Territory Lounge is still 4-12pm though, which is a shame...

    I can say that Tambu has been like that since at least January 2014. I remember watching an NFL playoff game there with a backscratcher

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    Those hours are terrible. Everytime I've done trader sam's, it's either been to avoid the midday crowds or as an end to the day after the parks closed. With these hours, you can't really do either

    Beginnings of Tomorrowland Revamp?

    Beyond it's historical value, CoP is a fantastic way to avoid the mid-day sun. I didn't appreciate it until I was in DL in the early September melting to death and realized that Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln and Innoventions was the only heat respite in a park full of unshaded queues. Heck, I...

    DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

    I don't think Uni has any chance whatsoever of passing Disney. Nothing Universal does is actually designed to appeal to kids under 9 years old. The rides Uni builds are mostly desired by teens and young adults. Teens and young adults aren't remotely as likely to spend their money to fly in to...
