    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I didn't take time to zoom in on the artwork myself. I just noticed a green Army man holding up a Babybel Cheese round...

    News New Theater to be built at the Magic Kingdom - now cancelled?

    The queue area for the Hyperion Theater in DCA has quite a large footprint. I would hope, especially in FL with the heat and rain, they would be building a covered queue area net to or behind the actual theater building - unless they have a very large lobby/queuing area in the main theater...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I've not been since all of the construction started. Can any of Slinky Dog be seen from other portions of the park (not counting top of ToT)?

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It may have to do with checking the gauging of the track to make sure that it is within tolerances. I would think this would have to do with rolling an actual car around the track - perhaps the reason for "looking through the trees".

    Grand Avenue and Baseline Tap House

    Sadly, I fear that you hit the nail on the head. Only in WDW can you sit AT a bar and have someone plop their DD8 on the stool next to you...

    Grand Avenue and Baseline Tap House

    I'm guessing they intentionally avoided the high ABVs to reduce some of the "drunk potential". But I agree with you about selections. Even in FL I can go into any grocery store and buy Sierra Nevada. I'm not very familiar with Lagunitas, but I've been to the Stone Brewery north of San Diego...

    Grand Avenue and Baseline Tap House

    I don't. Virtually everywhere else in the park is "kid-friendly" (except maybe HBD Lounge). As an adult with no kids, I LOVE the idea of having a place of respite to escape the insanity for a few minutes. It would be nice if there were a few more food options.

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Has anyone actually seen it move? I've seen 4 or five photos from different angles (check out the ones posted here) with the exact same shortened car in the exact same location on the track. Could it maybe have just been anchored there?

    The same way they can come up with the French Quarter in NOLA as a land in a Disney park...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I've been waiting to see the model and I have to say that for the most part, I like what I see. My only "complaint" is that they took the easy way out and just used a rubber tube on posts to create SDD vice coming closer to "track" and a representation of the actual support structures that...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    Although we won't know until we see the actual speed that Slinky reaches going around the track, but I am thinking this will me much closer to BTMRR than Barnstormer...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    As a somewhat cynical adult, I have to say that Mater was WAY more fun to ride than I expected it to be looking at pictures. Luigi on the other hand...

    Hurricane Irma

    My heart goes out to all those struck my Irma. I live in Pensacola and remember the aftermath of Ivan all too well. The overall damage to the city as a whole was considerably less than towns on the Peninsula, but it still took months for the city to get back to "normal". We were without running...

    Grand Avenue and Baseline Tap House

    I think really too much is being made of this. MS is "inspired" by Marceline, but really looks nothing like the vintage photos. New Orleans Square in DL has the "spirit" of real NOLA, but really looks nothing like the "real" NOLA. "Grand Avenue" is a small "connector" that serves as an entrance...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I'm guessing 4, with a 5th as a standby. If you took a snapshot, I'd imagine one at load, one at each launch, and one at unload...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I've noticed the same thing. On an axis with Barnstormer at one end and EE at the other end, I think this one will be closer to EE. A lot will come down to how fast they run it, which will be largely controlled by how much acceleration comes from the launches. I don't remember having read any...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Short answer to both: money. The length of the build time allows them to spread the cost over more years. It's much cheaper to build the same land twice than to build two separate lands.

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    One could argue that almost every "land" in MK is a mishmash of disconnected IPs, tied together by a very loose conceptual theme. In AL you have Spanish colonial Caribbean, South Seas Islands, and jungles of the would "linked" by little more than a conceptual theme of "exotic locations" In FL...
