    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Calling it "bisque" is a bit pretentious, but a grilled cheese sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup is as iconic a memory of a Saturday lunch as a kid as I can remember...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    The Federal Government uses the same system" Oct 1, 2018 is the start of the first quarter of FISCAL year 2019. But it's still the "Fall" of 2018

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I cannot understand the obsession of differentiating between the esoteric and not even agreed upon B, C, D, E ticket categories when they are completely meaningless to someone visiting a park. If they still had the old ticket books I could see why the chosen category might be important (they...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Connecting the two, by one means or another (TBD) has been part of the plan since it was first announced...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I see no reason why Star Wars and fireworks are mutually exclusive. It's been a long time since I watched them, but aren't there fireworks in at least one of the films?

    News Circle of Life at The Land Pavilion permanently closing in early February 2018

    I have to disagree with this. I, too, went for the first time in 1983; I was in my mid 20s and I was totally blown away by it. Every attraction was better than the next - and the later additions of Horizons, the Living Seas, and to a lesser extent Wonders of Life only added to the awe. But that...

    News Flights of Wonder closing and replaced by 'UP! A Great Bird Adventure'

    Basing my opinion solely on the posted video.... I didn't think it was possible to create dialog more insipid than what was in Flights of Wonder, but I guess I was selling Disney short... this is embarrassing. Not only did they "dumb down" the already thin educational elements of the old show...

    News Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

    The top video shows the typical military training centrifuge, capable of delivering up to 9Gs. I ridden a virtual clone of this device, but only to 8Gs (but that was enough). The device shown in the lower video is one-of-a-kind, designed strictly for research purposes. The individual shown...

    News Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

    Indeed. The company manufactures tactical military training centrifuges. I ridden one of them; 8 Gs in a "real" centrifuge makes MS seem like an office chair that spins...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Word is that the ride itself is essentially a clone; the packaging my be a bit different.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I don't think is about selling the products, it's just about having a giant "Coke" logo plastered on the side of the soda carts.

    Woody's Lunch Box

    For what it's worth, a "proper" Monte Cristo is NOT battered and deep fried. I remember these back from the 60s (they were my Mother's favorite). Classically they are a ham and cheese sandwich that is dipped in an egg and milk mixture and pan fried; the bread is essentially a fairly light...

    Woody's Lunch Box

    I'd be excited for a Monte Cristo like the DL one - but sadly, I doubt that this will be. At DL it's a TS where food is cooked to order. In TSL I'm sure they will be mass-produced somewhere else, brought in pre-made, and reheated on site. I hope I'm wrong...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    A "regular" dinner at V&A is a 2-3 hour meal. My Chef's Table dinner was over 5 hours. A "typical" TS runs about an hour, but if you're forced into a character meal, then plan for 90 min if you kids need to see all of the characters (and why would you spend that much on mediocre food if that...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    Far from it. In it's current configuration it's a "half day" park for me; I just can't do the shows any more - except Indy; it still entertains me once every couple of years. And F! is NOT enough motivation to hang around extra hours. I haven't had a chance to catch the "new" SW PM show yet, so...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    Shortly before Backlot closed I did an "Ultimate" at DHS (a) to have done it and (b) to actually test the full vs. half day argument. I did all of the rides (with a couple of repeats) and saw all of the shows (except Disney JR - just.no.) Starting with an EMH RD, including a TS lunch, it took me...
