That may be why the Parks have lost their sparkle. In the 80's there were lines of people, huge fans, that were working for Disney. It certainly never was the pay or the hours or the lifestyle. I know I wanted to do that. I wanted to somehow find a way or a skill that I might have that would...

Yes, that was the idea behind that, however, it is obvious that was a reach far beyond what the public is willing to pay for a cosplay. I wonder how much money Disney lost off that erroneous investment. That was a prime example of misjudging, the extent of the fan dedication to Star Wars. In...

I have always been dismayed by the meet and greets. Not for the children that are still in their Santa Claus/tooth fairy/easter bunny era but adults. That worries me. Not the ones that think it is just fun to have a picture taken with one as a personal souvenir, but those that actually get all...

The one thing that I always found about WDW is that nothing was built with just the skinny minnie's in mind. That is until they built the Snow White 7 dwarfs ride. That was a tight squeeze for even thin people especially if they were tall. I have never been thin but I am large framed and only in...

Is that TikTok fact or real fact? Asking for a friend.

Wasn't three years ago the middle of the Pandemic. Compare to last year, not to a time when we were all locked down.

I agree with all but one thing. It is not always going to be compared to Splash. We will compare it because that is what we had looked at for many years, me since it was first opened. However by the next generation no one will have seen the original and Splash will not even be thought of in...

That happens everywhere WDW and probably in every Disney park. As far as Horizons was concerned it is supposed to be the same family but in modern anticipated times. I agree with someone that said the Horizons was good but not all that spectacular. The ride vehicles were different and most...

Yes, I live in Central NC about 200 miles east of the heavily damaged area and all we got was a lot of rain and a little local flooding but nothing damaging. No injury's to any one that I am aware of. A couple trees down and spotty minor problem. Thanks for asking, all is fine in my area.

I agree, but Splash has been talked about for at least a decade. The only reason it wasn't changed when they first let the rumor circulate was because they couldn't find a way to use the existing building and track in a way that could be, at least, half way interesting. They finally found the...

In a few more decades it will be ocean front property thus increasing it's value.

From what I remember reading about it, the concept and much of the story was close to completed and other than whether or not to make it humorously scary or actually scary was decided after he died along with it being an omni-mover ride instead of the original thought of it being a walk through.

Who knows, that might be true, but times change, attitudes change, we as a society change. Sometimes for the good and way to many times for the bad. Yes, they buckled on many things. I objected a number of time about Splash Mountain being changed. I objected due to the reasons that were given...

I don't necessarily disagree, but I can guarantee that anyone that currently sees Pirates for the first time have the same feeling for it that we had when we first saw it. It is one scene that delt with the auctioning of humans and it is only important to us because we saw it the old way first...

This ages me a lot. I remember her in two things. The first was "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" and in the most recent redo of "Murder on the Orient Express". Practically both ends of her career. There was something haunting about The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and I'm not sure what it was. I...

I haven't researched this yet but I did hear that were filing for bankruptcy. Are you sure they are folding or just filing to reorganize. I'm only asking because many people confuse the two. Bankruptcy is to give them a bit of a breather usually. I could be wrong about Tupperware because I...

I'd call it an ugly horse!

I often wonder about the Original Part, I mean. PoTC's large change came in the "We want the Red Head" part which depicts human trafficking along with the less serious, fat shaming. Selling women for gold? Yes, I know it was funny back when society wasn't as rightfully focused on the difference...

I think that here in the lower, lower 48 we should have a different name for the seasons than the north. Spring = Early Summer Summer = Mid-Summer Fall = Late Summer Winter = Fall See we do have four seasons down here and more like it actually is. If I recall correctly, in Vermont there was...

I agree, if one is going to ask to compare, be specific. Ask to compare theme or degree of thrill or just which one do you specifically like better. A general comparison is nearly impossible if you like both and the two are so different that there is no plausible comparison. The only thing alike...
