    Canadian Lumberjack Show to open at Epcot's Canada Pavilion in early October

    I am doubtful there will be any creative input from Disney. This is a third party contractor so it's their content and their show. Having said that...I wish someone WOULD provide some creative input or advice. This is really painful to watch in it's current state. TDO wanted cheap and we...

    Canadian Lumberjack Show to open at Epcot's Canada Pavilion in early October

    I think that sums it up for me pretty well. I was totally furious with the firings of the entertainment and still am. But it's done. But THIS? This is the best that TDO can do? I realize this was a cost cutting move...but to bring in some cut rate show that literally was playing the county...

    Canadian Lumberjack Show to open at Epcot's Canada Pavilion in early October

    So I finally got up the nerve to watch the video of this lumberjack show. Somebody....anybody....please tell me this is NOT what Disney has hired. To call that show painful to watch would be an insult to things that are painful to watch. I mean...I just watched one guy get cheered on by an MC...

    Disney World's Reality Problems

    I think you touch on a good point that I totally agree with. Avatar is in the wrong park. And so is the Frozen ride. Avatar would be perfect for DHS, and Frozen would be better suited in MK. I get that Disney is going to wring every ounce of value they can out of Frozen, and a ride makes...

    Downtown Disney After Cruising

    Your transfer to a WDW resort or to the airport will be $70 per person, round trip. That's assuming that you would be using a DCL transfer to get from MCO to the cruise terminal on your arrival? Renting a car will run you around $70 total...more or less. Staying on property gives you DME in...

    What to do at Epcot

    Go on a Saturday when the local drinking teams are out in force. The crowds are ridiculous, but by mid afternoon the people watching gets pretty epic... :rolleyes:

    Planet Hollywood Closing?

    I had two dining experiences there years ago and both were terrible. Bad food and bad service. With so many better choices at WDW and Downtown Disney, this pit of despair fell off my radar screen long ago. I just took a trip through their website and trust me, its good that this location is...

    Restaurant choices

    So glad you narrowed this down to just everywhere....;) For us one of our must do's is Flame Tree BBQ in Animal Kingdom. Just love the ambience and outdoor setting as well as the food. For a great dinner we love Jiko at AKL. My guilty pleasure is the Biergarten restaurant in Epcot. Yes, I...

    Resort cost vs off site hotel

    So my first thought is that you are potentially biting off way more than you can do in the length of your stay. So far, you have mentioned staying 8 or so days, and plan to do Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Studios, Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach and/or Typhoon Lagoon, Universal (two parks there), Sea...

    Disney World's Reality Problems

    Agreed. And I really wish they had developed the mythical creatures angle instead of going with Avatar.

    Does Micheal Eisner deserve a statue at Magic Kingdom?

    Why...why on earth dredge this up from 2012.... *sigh* So here's my Eisner story...about 6 years ago I got to go to one of those "Success" seminars in Atlanta...the ones that last for hours and feature a ton of business and government leaders talking about success, and with the occasional hard...

    why the hate about the new entertainment?

    The hate comes from the fact that, as many others have stated, Epcot has grown rather stale due to a lack of any real updates to the actual attractions. Replacing musical acts that have been long standing features of the park has come across as a cost savings measure...not an effort to actually...

    Emailed Disney and Got a Call Back

    I couldn't disagree with you more on the idea of giving up on speculating as to what Walt would have thought of the current state of the parks (and company). Certainly I agree that he would be operating under very different circumstances at this point ( as well as being well over 100 years old...

    Emailed Disney and Got a Call Back

    I am afraid that the "folks that want feedback like this" have little influence over the "folks that make the short sighted and bottom line focused decisions". I think it sooooo needs to be the other way around. I really wish the mantra of "What would Walt think of this?" would come back into...

    EPCOT Entertainment cuts

    And of course...this means everyone will get to walk by a row of potted shrubs for a screen at the stages...or most likely just an empty stage, for months while we wait for the watered down new entertainment options...

    I am sure there is some advantage on both sides for WDW and Skynet....errrrr....Google...to work together on this . :cautious:

    EPCOT Entertainment cuts

    I have always enjoyed the musical acts at Epcot, and in particular, Off Kilter. I own all of their cd's and listen to them often. Seeing them has become a highlight of any trip for me. However, I was really becoming disappointed to hear more Top 40 covers, and less and less of the...

    Maelstrom going down in October (no FP+)?

    Just how big are those cans of spray on snow nowadays? :rolleyes:

    Gearing up for the Big 5-0... Any news?

    Seems a bit early to be speculating on this. I'm sure there has been some blue sky type discussions, but I wouldn't expect any major work or announcements for years.
