    Rumor Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

    I could be wrong, but I feel like Stitch has kind of reached that "Figment" status of being something of a park/company mascot, as opposed to being known just from the thing he originated. I feel like there are a lot of people who either don't remember the old Journey Into Imagination or hate...

    What IP, in your opinion, was the original frozen/star wars/marvel? (AKA overused/overstuffed)

    Even while everyone was still complaining about Frozen being everywhere, Beauty and the Beast had... stage show (DHS) meet & greet (Epcot) table service restaurant w/ meet & greet (MK) lead float in parade (MK) featured in Mickey's Philharmagic (MK) themed quick service/snack location (MK)...

    What will replace Rock 'N' Roller Coaster + "Magical Mystery Tour Coaster" Idea

    I've said this before, but I think if they were to stick with music being the theme, Elvis would be a good one. Of course there's more to it than just the design and labor, but potentially, they could use existing movie and TV appearances (as well as one of the millions of impersonators) to...

    Most Bizarre Rumors

    It's been a really long time since I've done any of the Marvel rides at IoA, but yeah, I'd be happy to do Spider-Man more often. The Hulk coaster is a really fun ride, but it's pretty thematically weak compared to how Disney generally does things. The Doctor Doom drop is terrible, and I haven't...

    What's your "Go To" Souvenir?

    This is another thing we do. Every year, whether or not we visit WDW, we get some sort of Disney ornament of Christmas decoration with the year on it. We also get the kids their own ornament for each year (so far, they each have a different "first Christmas one," and my daughter has a Lady & the...

    Most Bizarre Rumors

    A couple years ago, someone heard how much I love WDW, so they started telling me about the Frozen-themed 5th gate that was opening in a few years.

    What's your "Go To" Souvenir?

    I was never a pin collector, but ever since our honeymoon, my wife and I have been getting pins, and that has now extended to the kids. We each get one, and then we get a "family" pin. For example, on our honeymoon, I got Donald, she got Thumper, and "we" got the Mickey/Minnie wedding pin. We've...

    DHS 30th Anniversary

    Galaxy's Edge is still at least rumored for like November, right? I haven't kept up with Runaway Railway enough to remember any possible dates. It's probably too much to ask for a return of Superstar Television, right?

    DHS 30th Anniversary

    Just looked it up to be sure. The park opened May 1, 1989, so Star Wars will still be a little way off, right? Have they said if Runaway Railway is supposed to open by then?

    Starting out trip with visiting MK first?

    All of our pre-kid trips started with Pirates on the first day and ended with ice cream from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street USA on the last day. Since our daughter was born, the last few trips have still started in MK, but not real set schedule. On her first trip, we hung around the...

    Starting out trip with visiting MK first?

    We start and end there, as well. I mean MAYBE I'll switch it up when my wife and I eventually go alone, but we'll see.

    10 year “anniversary” question

    I'm slowly working on planning our 10 year anniversary there, as well. Still three years away (and likely several family trips in between), but I'm trying to keep track of every little thing I want to do because my wife has told me I can do the whole thing and just surprise her with the plans...

    Vlogger Detained At Security Check

    Yeah, I have no idea who this person is, but there definitely are YouTube/social media celebrities. Like you said, some of them have millions of followers watching their videos and hanging on their every word, so they actually reach a wider audience than a lot of the popular network TV shows...

    Character updates coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer

    Cool, then I shall never touch upon it again. That debate (which characters can go where) has been done to death, resurrected, and done to death all over again so many times that I felt bad even asking.

    Character updates coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer

    Is this known for sure, or is this just generally accepted speculation? I mean that as a genuine question. Even after all these years, I've never actually read the whole Universal contract, and it's been so long since I've been there that I can't remember which characters are featured (I mostly...

    Character updates coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios this summer

    I'm curious to see what will take the One Man's Dream meet and greet spot. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the Marvel idea going and put in Black Panther (perhaps with Shuri, as well). That is, of coruse, unless Black Panther would technically be in with the Universal stuff, due to his...

    Enhanced Dining Experience Coming to Be Our Guest Restaurant

    Good point. I think I just had a bit of a knee jerk reaction because of all the things that seem "broken" at WDW, this is not something I feel like needed to be fixed. However, I also never even really considered the "dessert only" crowd being a big issue, but it seems like it is, which is a big...

    Enhanced Dining Experience Coming to Be Our Guest Restaurant

    I can't image paying $200+ with tip for my family to eat here, only to beg my daughter to "please take a bite of something!" just so she can get a picture with Beast. To me, it just seems like they are missing the mark here. This place is themed after a kids' movie and has a M&G. I'm not saying...

    Get a free Orlando Magic player jersey with purchase or renewal of a Walt Disney World Annual Pass

    This. It just seems like a non-issue to me. I won't be renewing my annual pass (which expires in December) because we aren't planning on going back until 2019, mostly due to Baby #2 coming within the next six weeks or so, but this isn't something that would urge me to renew or to not renew. It's...
