    Pelican’s Landing

    It's quite good. IMHO, I would like to see more food for the money, but the quality is there. Glad they're adding more seating here.

    Disney cancels free tickets for Anaheim sixth-graders, cites pandemic - OCR/SCNG

    This is really sad. I so feel for all of those kids that were looking forward to participating in the program, have been through so much turmoil from the pandemic, and Disney goes back on their promise. These kids aren't going to forget this, either... Using the pandemic as an excuse for...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Unfortunately something like that has to be factored in ahead of construction. Disney didn't plan for the PeopleMover to be closed for as long as it was...they had to sort out several technical problems. And perhaps management didn't want to have both the PeopleMover and the railroad down at the...

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    I thought about mentioning the disappearance of the storyteller the other week but figured it would come back soon enough. Perhaps while they're waiting to get a budget for the bigger refurb, they're trying to clean up some of the AAs in the interim. A few weeks ago, the Greek mathematician was...

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    I wonder what Imagineer will be put in charge of the next DAK expansion. They're going to have some big shoes to fill...the fans won't be able to help themselves comparing them to Joe.

    SeaWorld Orlando's Antarctica Ride Oddly Closed and Silent

    Has anyone heard any updates as to when this ride re-opens?

    Spaceship in Spaceship Earth

    I concur that it's worth reading through this whole thread, but it would be nice to have a digital photo album of everything that we could reference!

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    It was an exciting summer! That and the debut of the Remember Dreams Come True fireworks were the standouts ^_^ It's a shame when you look at WDW vs DL. WDW's SM has more track but is based off of the original track of the Matterhorn...which has had it's track replaced since then. I wonder how...

    Living With the Land...in peril?

    The fire alarm system was one thing, but what I've also heard recently is that there's a significant leak somewhere that need to be taken care of.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I'm really looking forward to the view of the canopy and just having a new attraction at the park, especially to the point about Space Mountain, which needed a track replacement ages ago...it's really not a comfortable ride at this point. A new track means at the very least a less-abrasive...

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    Sadly the majority of WDW attractions aren't kept up very well, but at EPCOT it feels like it has a magnifying glass due to the neglected in juxtaposition with the construction. SSE has needed a good refurb for a long time, at bare minimum to clean up what are supposed to be the current...

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    IMHO, there's room for both dinosaurs and dragons at DAK, and the park needs more attractions, not just replacements. They need to add capacity. I love the idea of making a South America theme going through Dinoland. Has anyone heard anything more about what's going on in SGE's space?

    Akershus now a corporate lounge?

    I've only been in there to enjoy the relaxation station and I really loved seeing the decor and artistry on the inside. Nordic food can be excellent and full of variety. It's hard when menus have to be dumbed down because visitors are so afraid to venture outside of their comfort zone. ...as a...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Honestly they won't be hurting to not spend the money for a while. They're still going to put together some type of "Festival Area" which will probably just be an expansion of the more permanent kiosks that have been built for the other festivals. Disney still makes a lot from the festivals with...

    Tower of Terror effects status watch

    That's really interesting that they didn't have someone checking the photos by 1994 for ToT - Splash Mountain opened in 1989 at DL and quickly garnered the nickname, "Flash Mountain." After all of the work that was done to link photos to Magicbands and MDE, one would think Disney would have...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Wow I thought the cabana statement was a joke at first - just looked them up and wow that was a terrible idea. $650 in 2016?! At that price point you might as well have gone to one of the hotels and bought a room for the day if you didn't already have one. Heaven forbid they actually build some...

    Tower of Terror effects status watch

    I don't remember seeing any strobes in the hallway - I do actually remember thinking that it was a little weird that it was just bright the whole time (not house lights, of course.) The picture wasn't from our ride vehicle or anytime recently because (amongst other things) no one in that picture...

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    Exactly. It's something that we all just have to wait for. It would look really bad on Disney to open a children's play area right now. It also just makes sense to open it around the same time as GotG. In the meantime, WDI can continue to tinker with the tech.

    Tower of Terror effects status watch

    Visited ToT yesterday. First, I was surprised to hear the little girl's recording, "It's raining, it's pouring" a few times while we were in the pre-show room (if this has been the norm for a while please forgive, I just haven't heard it there before.) It seemed to have the desired effect - it...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    Visited Figment the other day and the ride is looking pretty rough. Every screen/projection is out of focus (and the ones that have repeat neighbors are all different color levels) and poor Figment's neck in the Sound Lab is battered up pretty significantly. But at least the sound seems to be...
