Without having read all of the comments on thread, and having voted "I don't care," here are my thoughts on this... EPCOT (the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) has NEVER been what it was originally intended to be. I'm sure no one reading this needs to hear that, but the...

Happily, my children (now both adults) "grew up" at the CA parks. Eventually, we bought a "brick" that was displayed in the quad area (for those who are unaware, Disney sells personalized stepping stones that get laid into the space between the turnstiles for DL and DCA.). Talk about feeling a...

Wow! This was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I loved the background and the full video and audio of the ride itself. Was that James Mason (the original Capt. Nemo) narrating? Just awesome! This attraction shares many similarities to the older DL version, and even the updated Finding...

I still need to learn the lay of the land at WDW to make a fair comparison, but totally agree with you that Avengers Campus is an epic fail. Vast "under-treatment" of this incredibly valuable franchise. The Web-Slingers ride is a glorified TSMM and the "land" is laid out terribly with no...

Would you mind elaborating on this, please?

I realize this is an old thread, but as a recent transplant from CA I wanted to comment. The TS "Land" here at WDW is pitiful compared to what they did at California Adventure Park. They don't actually have a TS Land there, but have completely re-themed "Paradise Pier" to Pixar Pier. The...

Sadly, I never got to experience the 20,000 Leagues ride. I have seen pictures of the scuttled subs. Do you know if it was more or less the same as the old Submarine Voyage at DL? (Now Finding Nemo). 20,000 Leagues and Swiss Family Robinson are among my favorite live action, classic Disney...

I'm only semi-retired at this point and definitely not "flush." This year I'll start drawing SS and that, combined with a small retirement income stream I have should make it possible for me to afford the local resident AP (or whatever they are calling them here, Magic Keys at the CA parks). I...

I'm newly transplanted from CA and, admittedly, am spoiled by the constantly evolving World of Color show at DCA. (and yeah, I may be a bit Disneyland biased as I like their Fantasmic show better too.) I like to call it The Bellagio on steroids, but even that doesn't do it justice. They have...

I agree with MickeyCB. While the permits in and of themselves are not interesting to me in the least, it surely does give perspective to the sheer volume of work (by paid contractors) required to maintain the parks and resorts. I think most folks mainly think that it cost a great deal for...

Thanks! My GF is expressing concern over that issue (costume packing/storage). LOL! We need to give this some thought.

Hello Disney Friends. I'm taking my first Disney cruise at the end of May and Pirate Night looks like a fun event. I will be with my GF and my two adult children and their SOs. I haven't found anything at all about the event on the DCL website, but the app talks generally about it, saying (I...

First time Disney cruiser on the Fantasy...

Totally agree with you regarding Web Slingers. It's a glorified TSMM (a ride I LOVE). Mostly, I am just baffled by the poor treatment Marvel is getting at DCA considering what a cash cow those films have been for Disney. IDK what the recent Star Wars film receipts have been, but I would...

POTC at DL and WDW is a great example of the movie imitating the ride imitating the movie. I love the additional animatronics that bring the ride more into alignment with the movies and I dislike the "PC" updates the Disney has made over the years. I see no reason to do anything other than...

Hi All, After being a resident of California since 1976 and developing an intimate familiarity with the California Disney parks, I recently moved to Florida. I have visited the WDW parks a few times and look forward to achieving a similar familiarity with them. I'm a lifelong Disney fan and...
