Disclosure: I'm not an insider and have never driven a bus at WDW. I have read in several places that WDI gives the park a "warranty" period on new attractions when they perform all or most maintenance functions. If memory serves, it is 1 year and then it is the park's baby. If that is the...

I agree with your stance on karma and on treading lightly on ECV's. Strollers, however, should be limited in width and that can be easily done (single wide only for example). At some point, the little pirates and princesses need to get their @$$ up and walk. I have 3 kids and with the...

I canceled a trip in May and booked one in July at the Grand Californian. I also asked the reservation agent if I could buy Uni passes through DVC. It's not much but it's a start

Doubling the capacity is a great idea. I have read in other places that if they do a significant amount of work to the ride system itself, they would have to make it ADA compliant. Since it has "flying" boats, it would be very difficult to make it comply in case the ride had to be evacuated...

The military travel advisory covers more than 3-4 states, more like the northern 1/3 to 1/2 of the country but you are exactly right. The vacation areas on the Yucatan Peninsula, for example, are "green" for military and offer a beautiful, affordable beach vacation option as long as it's not...

They have had nearly 50,000 drug war related deaths over the last 6 years. I completely agree with your friend and don't understand why the extreme level of violence and terrorism aren't reported here. Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Sorry I'm late to the thread but I have 2 things to (hopefully) contribute. 1) The announcement name change could go either of 2 ways. In previous years, they've used the "What's New, What's Next" name to announce that a planter was being added to the entry plaza of one of the parks and little...

Well said Sir, Harumph!

Does anyone know when the area is scheduled to open?

@lee posted a few months ago about a Villains land in MK that sounded awesome. Could this be something related to that? It sure would be cool if it were but I doubt it. (Not an insider and try to avoid riding the buses at all cost)

In the military we say P6 (Prior Planning Prevents -Poor Performance). Question: Why couldn't they have built the new theater while the show continues in its current location? After the Christmas rush, close the show for a few days to move the equipment/do sound checks/etc. and keep...

Just my take on the direction I would like to see the films go. I would love to see the story of the Galactic Empire's and Emperor Palpetine's rise to power told from their perspective, not the Republic's. As far as attractions, I would love to see the bike coaster themed to...

I could be that we could get a Luigi spinner(s) since TDO is thrilled with them and DHS OBVIOUSLY needs a spinner.

Keep in mind that they're not finished yet. Paving or resealing/repainting the existing pavement may still be in the cards.

I agree with your entire post with the exception of the part in bold. I don't think it would cost a few million to upgrade to digital which makes it even more maddening!

Don't get me wrong, I love the speedway as well. I remember riding it as a kid with my folks and with my little brother in the 70's. I remember riding with my kids as well. With that being said, switching it to electric, adding some kind of theme/story/scenery, AND moving it to a different...

I love the laugh floor. Maybe they're beginning a move to DHS' Pixar Place where it belongs. No, I'm not an insider and have no information indicating that this is actually happening, just wishful thinking.

One of the other posters mentioned to look at the Speedway on Google maps. That attraction has a larger footprint than any of the 3 mountains! That is valuable real estate that's being wasted in my opinion.

UA's system isn't one of the ones I was talking about. However, I completely agree with your assessment of Crimson Ride; the system isn't that great. I have a former student who said that the mobile app works much better than the posted signage which I don't understand how that's possible...

For what it's worth, I have a friend who doesn't go to WDW very often and had no idea that there were Disney fan forums. He swore to me that they were building a huge, new castle and had the pictures to prove it. I had to show him the aerial shots from this sites for him to believe the...
