I would prefer the Moana ride and upgrade Dinosaur or fix its animatronics. No way Villains should be a land in AK. Put that over in DHS.

Don't even use photo pass. Entertainment: Contemporary has character events. Food/Drink: Contempo Cafe, Chef Mickeys, Steakhouse 71, and (if open during a hurricane) California Grill. Given how Disney tries to make things better during a hurricane, Contemporary has the space for games and...

My first pick is Wilderness Lodge for all the stated reasons. For my taste, WL has the best interior theming and is relaxing to just sit down and enjoy. I would go Contemporary for #2. The concourse with the food court and shopping has a lot of things to dig into and you have room to walk...

The only thing that I know about water is that it has determination. It will continue pushing, testing, jabbing to get to where it wants to go. Build a house in its way and it will do its darndest to continue on its way, which usually means penetrating into the basement or whatever is needed...

It's funny. I was armchair imagineering and had a thought about the original source material, "The Wind In the Willows". I envisioned four tracks that would show the perspectives of the Mole, Water Rat, Badger, and Toad, all coming together in the fight for Toad Hall. I would have stayed more...

That is a difficult question. We have stayed at Bay Lake and the Garden Wing of the Contemporary and loved both. However, the theme isn't everyone's favorite. I haven't stayed at Contemporary in a few years, though, and it may not be quite as nice. We enjoyed the look of the rooms, walking...

The Yeti as I sometimes feel like I'm in constant "B" mode.

Old school Shere Khan. Voiced so eloquently by George Sanders with Thurl Ravenscroft singing that lovely low note in "That's What Friends Are For". Urbane and yet a villain in every sense. I never think of Thanos as a Disney Villain for some reason. He would be a close second because I find...

Give Walkorama a view as well. Sometimes, they walk in neighborhoods or in different areas but it's the same format. I have wondered if it isn't the same creator as 4K WDW because there are some similarities.

Open it, hype it, and count on the metaphorical blindness of fans from seeing it for what it is.

With the pavilion being in the "Discovery" neighborhood, they could design a nice dark ride that takes a tongue-in-cheek view of inventions and what the future may hold. It could be called Disney's New Horizons. Okay, that would be too easy I like the planetarium suggestion although I would...

It's bubbling along a manmade path via forced currents created by manmade pumps and down manmade mini-falls across artificial rocks. See? It's playing!! Playing at being something it isn't.

They should have made them dress as plumbers. Although, then SNW would have griped about Mario/Luigi being appropriated.

Dietary restrictions ended me enjoying Disney food but Roaring Forks was one of my favorite places to eat period. The food was always good but mainly I loved the ambiance. Either eating inside or outside.

Water is really hard to get right. By that, I mean that it is hard to make a waterfall work because you cannot have enough volume or height to really replicate a waterfall. Wilderness Lodge does a good job but the water from that Journey of Water video seemed a little weak. Maybe they didn't...

Agree, although I would argue that Disney is a market until itself. Disney will charge what they think people will pay because they are Disney. Disney rates do not correspond to the actual market rates for the Orlando area, as you stated, and one could argue that Universal is the same (though...

It isn't the construction company delaying things. Disney simply slows down construction on pretty much anything except hotels. This thread and others (ex. TRON) have a lot of information and discussion about the subject.

Or the Murdochs took them to business school.

I really enjoyed staying in the Garden Wing. It was quiet and peaceful but it was a bit of a walk to the Contemporary's main building. We prefer staying at POR, though. While you can still end up with a bit of a walk (ex. from the furthest Magnolia building) to the main building, it is pretty...

I wonder if it similar to sports. Some coaches do a great job when they have their assistant coaches. The assistant coaches are promoted due to their team's success and then tank. Then, the former coach also has problems because his/her assistants are not as good as those that left.
