    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    That was great! And I love the Disney-themed freight! I've always been a fan of the RailKing line. When they first came out, I got one of the Pennsy freight sets. It felt and operated like a vintage Lionel set, as far as weight, look and overall vibe. They had brought back the feel of the...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    I agree. They try this move with Star Trek as well, more recently. It’s a neat idea to merge different forms of media to “enhance” the experience, but I more want things to be standalone and develop on their own.

    We’ll find out if Disney does a Star Wars overlay to Haunted Mansion, calling it Hyperspace Mansion...

    News 'Disney After Hours' ticketed event

    Thank you for this information! I may get the AK tickets for one of the dates we're there in May as a Christmas present for my wife (she loves AK, and loves the Avatar area - didn't have time to do FoP last year!) But this, as well as experiencing an After Hours event for the first time, would...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    No, I'm not a DVC member. It's a mail brochure with a discount code on up to 30% discount at some of the resorts. It says it's an offer for past Guests (we were there last year.) Our discount was 25% I think, since we'll be at Art of Animation this time.

    Tower of Terror "new stories and effects" coming?

    It's a really interesting point made. I would love to see this as a change if needed. The only thing that would need to be worked with is the Fifth Dimension section when you go horizontally to the drop. Some spooky noises and voices along this part could work, things that would be mixes and...

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    Start looking online here and there for the Bradford Exchange trains that Bachmann makes for them in On30. They've introduced a 4-6-0 in On30 that looks very familiar overall. The latest Thomas Kinkade Holiday train uses this engine. It would still need modification, but it is a narrow gauge...

    Tower of Terror "new stories and effects" coming?

    I was watching the DSNY Newscast from @przidentkendall as well, showing parts of the storylines, and I think it actually fits within what could be The Twilight Zone without having to name it completely. The storylines convey that vibe and creepy style that TZ always had. Think about it: when...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    I received a physical mailing with a Spring Magic discount code (which we have used to book our trip back to WDW in May, 2020!) It's completely themed around the MMRR, with the phrase on the front, "It's a great time to RUNAWAY to Walt Disney World", and artwork from the MMRR ride.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    I don't get it. Where is the Transporter Room? The Enterprise bridge? Where are the Daleks?

    Man Accused of Stealing Buzzy's Clothing from Disney World Arrested

    He probably drove it there and it's parked outside the station.

    Yes, sir! The more you hear the rails make that slight creak, the more nervous you get!

    Man Accused of Stealing Buzzy's Clothing from Disney World Arrested

    Because they're fun to watch. It's nice seeing an arrogant person get called out on his stupidity in a major way, to see karma in action.

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    That looks like just an improvised bit of track that's pieced together to make an incline to the trailer. From those photos, that's right on the tracks that come out of the roundhouse and start to converge via switches out to the line heading to MK.

    Disney's House Gone

    What's even worse is that the accusations of Walt being racist or antisemitic have been debunked time and time again. It's just a desire for some to rewrite history to their own view and to take down those who made themselves great. Walt built an entertainment empire from nothing, not to...

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    From what I know, I don't know if it was ever discussed to turn her around. There would have to be some movement of a few things in the yard, as well as the cars on the other side of Route 741 (the storage track that runs behind Choo-Choo Barn and all) I think the idea always was that she...

    Future of Star Tours

    Since Disney's going into the past with Tron for some reason, how about The Black Hole?

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    Yeah, the turntable has been used to sometimes move the locomotives around when repositioning them in the yard or getting them ready for the museum. 4800 is on the list, sometime close after the 5 steam engines are done. Right now, it's a decision as to what paint scheme to go with. The...

    Man Accused of Stealing Buzzy's Clothing from Disney World Arrested

    What's funny is I showed my daughter the video (she's 18, in college and has taken some courses that touch on law enforcement) she knew that as well. This video is now one of her favorite Disney movies!

    News Walter E. Disney overhaul

    Great find! I've never seen them for that low a price! I got one set for $25.00 (engine was in pieces and had to put it back together) and another my dad found, which was sealed in the box. Those were made by Life-Like, and they were special make: Life-Like hasn't had a 4-6-0 available since...
