    Great Movie Ride to Close?

    I love GMR. It's one of my favorite attractions at DHS. But I have to admit it's become very dated. I would love to see it get a really nice update. Of course...given the current course TDO seems to be following, I am pretty sure it's not going to happen anytime soon. Maybe that's for the...

    Surprised by Contemporary Hotel rooms

    I've seen more and more room reviews for CR and BLT mentioning dirty rooms or glaring maintenance issues. I love the CR and have been lucky enough to stay there a few times, including MK view, which was just amazing. However, I now find the pricing for the resort to be insane, and even with...

    Skeleton pirates display at World of Disney side entrance replaced

    Props to TDO for removing a set piece full of creepy skeletons during the Halloween season and replacing them with luggage. Maybe wait a few weeks? Just sayin'. :rolleyes:

    Is there any point in "Epcot" anymore?

    Spot on. And that's something that I really wish could be rectified somehow. I was actually surprised that Siemens jumped into the mix as a sponsor. I am guessing that if Norway was still a sponsored venue there's no way Frozen would be getting shoved into there. This brings up an...

    Is there any point in "Epcot" anymore?

    I have to mention that the version of Epcot that was built has little relevance to the actual vision Walt had. Walt wanted something closer to Celebration. The park was basically a compromise between the two ideas Imagineering was designing, neither of which was what Walt envisioned. Having...

    1 Day... Which Park?

    Epcot. And stay for Illuminations.

    Poly over water rooms

    I haven't really weighed in on these, but seeing the pics, I have to wonder....just how much of that really great view of MK has now been ruined by those things?

    Is there any point in "Epcot" anymore?

    I think that the park is a troubled one. I think the park has really been neglected, and the efforts to improve things there haven't worked. Granted...I love the park so I get kind of curmudgeonly about things there... :rolleyes: I don't agree with the Maelstrom/Frozen remake. I am still...

    FP+ only Toy Story Midway Mania

    So we are basically 25% of the way through a 4 day test of one attraction in one theme park. So far I have been told in this thread that this is the premiere attraction at DHS, that it's the worst, that Disney is apparently full of evil managers who want to ruin your vacation, that Disney is...

    FP+ only Toy Story Midway Mania

    Just curious...if the ride is FP+ and there were none available, how did you get to ride at 5pm? Were you able to get a FP for 5pm? Or were they allowing some standby in? I am just asking for some clarification as to what sort of availability there was today. Thanks!

    FP+ only Toy Story Midway Mania

    I was indeed referring to the apparent addition of a third track. I should have made that clearer. Apologies for any confusion.

    FP+ only Toy Story Midway Mania

    My thoughts exactly. I would think Disney would want to simulate a full ride capacity, which means making more fastpasses available during the test. As far as the assertions that some are making about your entitlement to be provided access to any ride, my thought is this....you wouldn't be...

    Saving money by booking each night as a separate reservation

    I don't see this working out well at all from a logistics point of view. Every day you would need to be out of your room before 11, then move all your luggage to bell services to store until 3 when check in is available. Sure your room may be ready sooner, but are you going to wait around to...

    Magic kingdom in one day?

    Not sure if it's still in there, but the Unofficial Guide used to offer a One Day Do Or Die Touring Plan that guided you through the highlights of the park in one day. A lot of walking, but it worked. Or try their website... www.touringplans.com. It may be of some help to you.

    ALL ABOARD!?

    Keep in mind that you are planning for 2 to 3 years out, and looking at a transportation model that is woefully underfunded and underappreciated by the powers that be that control the purse strings. You are prone to delays from mechanical or equipment issues or availability, as well as some...

    Spoke to a Cast Member at the Polynesian yesterday

    I have seen CM's get blasted for the most ridiculous things. We always try to make a point to go up to them after and make a joke about it or compliment them for handling it as well as they do. I personally try to do it with the guest who complained still in earshot, which drives my gf...
