    Yes. Maelstrom is effectively dead.

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    I didn't say anything about language. I talked about ethnicity. You're totally wrong, but I can see that you don't even want to bother with a quick internet search that would set you straight. Dominicans are largely a mix of Spanish/white, indigenous (I think the term "Indians" is passe, by...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    I just wanted to blow your mind by telling you that I read constantly, have an English lit. degree...AND YET I still have time to read this forum and be upset about SM being rethemed. If you're going to accuse people of thinking that everyone else must be stupid maybe you should stop engaging...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    If you are actually truly interested, you can do a quick google on the history and ethnic makeup of the two countries and it will explain how Haitians and Dominicans are NOT the same. It has nothing to do with language. But I do think it's funny that you claim to know that Dominicans and...

    No, they don't. The best Disney rides are akin to art. Actually, they ARE art. Think HM as an example, with its own music created for the ride, the intricate stories and of course the imagineering. Art doesn't have to "grow and change". It exists and people react to it in their own personal...

    Thank you for being a voice of reason. Can I suggest that you fashion the above post in a letter that you send to Disney management?

    Honestly, if you think everything should be replaced, why do you even go?

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Just so you know, there are people on here who are solely outraged at losing Splash. I am devastated, and it's not because of Disney bowing to petitions or twitter or whatever. It's purely about losing my favorite ride, a ride that brings back so many happy memories that I get teary even...

    Yours and mine. The news actually made me cry when I saw the CNN report. That ride was my introduction to the Magic Kingdom, the place where I understood "Disney magic" for the first time, the first ride I went on with my late father, a ride I went on three times in a row with friends. And...

    Wasted food at Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

    It isn't "food" if no one is eating it. It's a dead animal that's been thrown in the trash or the compost heap.

    Wasted food at Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

    I haven't eaten at Hoop De Do, but I feel this way at Ohana. The platter of wings and pot stickers they give you is preposterous. My husband and I can eat a lot, but there's no way we can conquer that amount. The second time we ate there we deliberately asked for a smaller portion of the...

    Wasted food at Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue

    Yes. No animal should be bred, born, raised and then killed just to be thrown in the garbage. It is absolutely immoral.

    Being Stuck on a Ride - Which ride scene would damage your mental well-being the most?

    The existing Carousel of Progress makes me crazy as it is, so if I were to get stuck in there for longer than necessary I would seriously go nuts.

    Being Stuck on a Ride - Which ride scene would damage your mental well-being the most?

    I don't know why but this made me laugh out loud. And I'm suffering from severe Post-Disney Depression today, so that's a big accomplishment.

    Finger Print Readers Suspended??

    When we entered MK on Saturday we tapped our bands and the machines flashed green. Didn't need to tap a finger.

    Oh I know - the happy people that have just arrived on the day you're leaving...brutal. Love your name for the bus, too!

    PDD

    Just got back from a great week. This trip was thrown together last-minute, so my expectations were fairly manageable. But it was fantastic in every way and now it's back to everyday life. I hate this part. All I want is to be back among the palm trees, the buses and boats, the food, the...

    What is the best ride in Animal Kingdom? (Quality-wise)

    Navi River! Just kidding. It's got to be Kilimanjaro Safaris. Nothing else comes close. However, I know not everyone agrees but I love Kali and personally think it has the best queue in all WDW, so I'd like to give a honourable mention. Please note that I can't comment on Flight of...

    Disney World guests file lawsuit after allegedly eating bug-infested food

    Exactly. Of course it's gross to find bugs in your food. I would be appalled, regardless of whether the bugs actually made me sick or not, and disney needs to make sure this kind of thing doesnt happen. But the reason people are criticizing the guests is because turning this into a lawsuit is...
