What were the other names?

We go every other year, usually for more than a week when we do. We also vacation elsewhere nearly every year. I think it's a big mistake to think that DVC owners only vacation at Disney. I suppose some do, but you might be surprised of the abundant recent travel stories from the people...

Let's stretch the analogies: Isn't a buffet an admission by the restaurant that none of it's dishes are good enough to please everyone? Heck, isn't a menu an admission by the restaurant that none of its dishes are good enough to please everyone? Isn't your DVR an admission by the TV networks...

Oh I remember when Star Wars was released. I believe it was the same time as Disney's bomb, "The Black Hole". Anyhow, few cities, if any, had multi-plexes back then. Most theatres showed a single movie, and your TV maybe had 7 channels if you splurged for cable. And almost no one had video...

Crystal Palace and the German Pavilion struck me.

Why does every thread have to get so nasty? Can't people be courteous, or at least agree to disagree? I respectfully disagree with the original poster, but Damon makes a valid point that is very much worth contemplating. Is each person's park hopping opinion so important to the core of their...

I thought it was something like that. I'd only want to go for one day, probably. Who knows? I do know that we would be very upset if we couldn't do ALL of the Harry Potter stuff in the one day that we were there.

It's top notch quality like that which keeps me coming back to spend thousands of dollars a year. What boundaries will they push next?

I understand your point: If each park justified a full day, then park hopping would be superfluous. But I don't think people see it that way at all. Multiplex movie theaters show a dozen movies because people want variety. It's not an admission that none of their movies is good enough to...

For longer stays, I like the flexibility. We hit the big things at each park in the first few days, and then we saunter and nibble our way around the parks thereafter. A perfect day for me is to hit Studios or Animal Kingdom in the morning, doing everything I want there until early to mid...

Let me clarify: They can't budget the scotch tape to fix.

We once hit all four parks in one day, but did not set out to do so. We hit Animal Kingdom first, and were done by early afternoon. We then decided to hit Star Tours at Studios, and bussed our way there. We then thought supper at Epcot would be nice, so we boated there. It was our last full...

Good point. They pushed the envelope and the envelope ripped. And for nearly a decade they can't find the scotch tape to fix it. Long term, I fear this is one large reason why it now takes upwards of three years for them to build something new. The Ratatouille attraction, which already has a...

Let's all just step back and chill out a minute (me included). My only true assertion is that a removal would be expensive. Whether that means the yeti can be hauled out without ripping open the mountain or not, I assume such an operation would be expensive. I don't believe anyone has said...

And that is a sign of a messed up, ineffective, dysfunctional company.

And your qualifications? Have you helped build a house? Do you represent builders and owners in court? Do you own three or more buildings?

So we can safely assume that you have no specialized knowledge.

So I can't contribute my two cents worth? And your background?

I've tolerated your critiques of my knowledge and/or the lack thereof, but I guess I'm really curious as to how you seem to know so much. What background and inside information makes you such an expert on these things? Do you work for Imagineering? Do you own a large construction company that...

I respectfully disagree with much of what you say, and time will perhaps tell which version is correct. I tend to think that one part(s) of the company that builds a huge multi-multi-million dollar attraction would not be surprised at the publicity shows and marketing push. One usually follows...
