Stretching my mind back to some of the early concept drawings, I remember what looked like a swarm of "fireflies" around the ToL in conjunction with AK PM activities, including ROL. Some months back, when we saw the first news that Disney was pursuing drones, my thought was it would be to create...

I really like the pseudo (or maybe real) Hirschfeld caricatures of the Muppets that are on one of the walls; these are the kind of details that Disney gets right.

Bangers and Mash (sausages served with mashed potatoes with an onion brown gravy, for those who don't know what it is) is one of my favoriate pub meals. Sadly, difficult to fine in America outside of theme parks and large cities. I like RR's better than R&C's, but that's probably just a matter...

I have to agree with any of the "pizza by the slice" locations. Actually I find the pizza at MM to be pretty good, and the VN pizza to be excellent - even by the NY pizza standards that I grew up with. I just wish they had some authentic Chicago deep-dish pizza somewhere on property...

I have to say that the one meal that I ate there, many years ago, was the single worst meal I have ever had at either WDW or DLR. I've never gone back. With a new menu, I might consider it...

Personally, I wouldn't care if they offered a 5' x 5' closet with 2 folding chairs and a small table holding a bowl of airline pretzels for $1000/day. As long as I did not have to look at them. If people with more money than brains are willing to spend that kind of money (and none of them ever...

You get a lot of that around here. But generally speaking, the Avatar threads are some of the more upbeat in the Forum. If you really want to get down on Disney, try the TSL thread... :-)

I have no personal knowledge, but this has come up a number of times on various threads in the past. The "trusted insiders" have indicated that a WDW "clone" of the DL Indy ride is highly unlikely. That being said, it's my favorite Disney ride on either coast and I would certainly be happy if it...

Well this is clearly a Mater/Saucers type layout...

You hit it right on the mark. These trees remind me of the ones my church does to raise money for charities; individuals or groups decorate trees and then they are auctioned off to the highest bidder.

I was not expecting trees THAT size, but at least 9 or 12 foot trees would have been nice. Hell, I've got 5 9-foot trees in my house...

I'll consult my tarot cards and get back to you...

Loved the original show. "Food Rocks" was a disappointment to me, but even that would be better than nothing...

I'm all for anything "free" that will give me something else to do, but this is just sad. It looks like they spent more time on the backdrops than on the trees. Of course almost ALL Christmas trees look better at night, so I'll reserve final judgement until after some night pics show up. We put...

Doug Henning - wow. I saw him in "The Magic Show" on Broadway back in the 70s...

Actually, the pad looks to be about perfect for the ride Assuming it's Mater re-themed, the ride system is based on four spinning disks. What appears to be the hub reinforcement for each disk shows up in the photo. The othere portions of the build are no doubt queuing areas and the requisite...

I'm in the same boat, but I did do it once (just so I could keep my record of having been in/on every attraction in WDW since it opened). I have little love for cute kiddie shows, but the above-mentioned AAs and effects, coupled with over-all excellent theming, made it worth the 20 min or so to...

For people with some mobility issues (like my wife), they can be a godsend. We parked in the Orange garage (the only one open at the time) and slowly strolled the full length of DS, stopping for brunch at RR, occasionally rested on a bench, etc. But by the time we were finished in the Disney...

If I was going to be going to WDW in the next few months, I'd wait. But as I seriously doubt that there's going to be a trip until at least this time next year, I'll probably watch the video.

I have to agree that I think the real charm of CTM are what some refer to as projection mapping "architectural gimmicks". I've watched the full Tokyo video and it has some of that in it, but at times it just seems to turn the castle into a giant "drive in movie" screen. It appears to really be...
