I guess not, since those type of crowds are a typical summer day in Fantasyland or Frontierland (Photos courtesy of Orlando Theme Park News July 7th update: http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2014/07/magic-kingdom-update-hub-foundations_7.html) Disclaimer: By no means is this post meant to...

Everytime I see pictures of it I think the same thing. I also notice a complete lack of any workers with each of these updates. Thus, I suspect most of the work is being done overnight so that the sounds of construction equipment are not overheard during the day time. If that is correct, then...

I've really underestimated this ice rink thing. I pictured something small, like what is seen on Royal Caribbean cruise ships. Apparently this is real ice too, not fake imitation cold plastic stuff. Not bad for something that was so quickly put together. I still won't be skating there, but I...

The Frozen open edition bands will cost $19.95. Source: Steven Miller on the Parks Blog reply section. The star wars bands were a limited edition set, and thus they made the cost a bit too high imo.

Railings are now back up around the garden areas near Casey's. Hopefully flowers will be coming back next too. No more guests sitting in the grass. It's a bronze railing instead of the traditional Main Street green railing of before. Either it is yet to be painted or I suspect more than likley...

I really don't think it is that bad of a cost. With the guys up the road charging $45 to be able to participate in the same type of interactive experiences that are free at MK and Epcot, $10 for use of skates and access to the rink doesn't seem that bad. It will also help a bit with crowd...

That is kind of neat. For some reason, I didn't realize that guests would be allowed to skate. I assumed that it would just be used for "demonstrations by some of Oaken’s talented cousins on the Arendelle ice" as noted in the original press release.

Even if hastily thrown together, it seems like a worthwhile addition to the parks with the varied experiences. Each by itself would be underwhelming, but as a whole seems to create a worthwhile entertainment addition to DHS for the summer. I suspect it will be popular, and if it is perhaps a...

I just downloaded the update for the My Disney Experience app on my android phone. Just playing around with it (nice update BTW) and noticed that under Events and Tours heading for DHS is now listed 'FROZEN summer fun LIVE! at Disney's Hollywood Studios' When I click on the link the app...

I think it's the angle this aerials were taken that make it hard to judge how large a plot of land has been cleared. Case in point, look at one of the new pics that has Rainforest building in it. It looks like if you moved that building into the empty plot it would fill a good chunk of the...

It sounds like they are working on a replacement for the garlands. There was a permit recently filed to investigate several locations along Main Street for a "holiday arch". This was posted by @Big Bad Wolf in the Festival of Fantasy parade thread back in March 2014:

I would be suprised the wand skit would be appoved by JK Rowling..... The opening segment with Diagon Alley looked pretty cool though.

Like Sorcerors of the Magic Kingdom, A Pirate's Adventure:Treasures of the Seven Seas (which has been using RFID cards/magic bands to activate the effects) and Agent P's World Showcase Adventure, all of which have been available for some time already, the problem with these 'games' is the...

This soon after official opening, things such as the dancing snow white shouldn't be breaking to the point that they can't be fixed overnight or even during the day during downtime. Either maintenance and its budget are to blame or it's a result of poor design/implementation. Either way...

Just hoping with its closure is a plan beyond just shuttering another entertainment option. Within a year we will have seen the loss of Countdown to Fun Parade, Disney Rocks, and AI experience. While each were arguably not the best in entertainment, their collective loss provides much less for...

Apparently, this closure is now official, via @Attractions : Walt Disney World Resort, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment have released this joint statement: “After more than five successful years, The American Idol Experience will be coming to a close at Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park...

Thanks for the link. However, although it was posted to youtube today, I do not believe it is a recent video. There have been new prayer flags hung recently during this refurb that are missing in that video (the strings that hold the flags are actually bare in two cases). See recent videos of...

If Rivers of light is going into the lake between Discovery Island and Everest, it seems like this would be an odd area to build infrastructure for that show. With how congested that area can be around the exit for the safari, Pangani Forest and the train to Planet Watch, I would guess more...

Downtown Disney is being renamed Disney Springs, effective sometime in early 2015. It will consist of the West Side, The Marketplace, The Landing (replacing the current Pleasure Island location), The Springs (area of water between Pleasure Island and current parking lot that will be re-done and...

I had the opportunity to ride the DCA version last week and agree that the lighting changes suprisingly made a huge difference. The under the sea room feels much larger and grand as the ceiling and walls are no longer so obvious and your attention is directed towards the figures that surround...
