    Circus Tents

    Just so you know, I told an Imagineer what you said, and he laughed for at least a minute straight.

    Splash Mountain Creation - Question

    Just another suit taking credit for what WDI does.

    A Lingering Question

    Oops OK, so that thread didn't go too well. Sorry about that, but if you'd like to start another one on some optimistic thoughts of upcoming changes, I'd love to chat.

    Little Mermaid soft openings?

    If I recall correctly (and I am), Walt Disney World actually booked rooms for Y2K for the Venetian. A good friend of mine booked a room, but obviously didn't stay there. Construction usually defines the dates, not the "higher up"s. Who is your good source, and is the reason they gave you...

    What happened to Adventureland expansion?

    Everything is always on the table. The trick you have to learn is to not make them think, that takes too long; let them choose. If you design and propose three ideas, and they pick the second one, they honestly believe it was their idea. Then you get to build what you wanted to in the first place...

    A Lingering Question

    Why are so many people, who come here claiming to be fans of Disney, so negative all the time? Walt wasn't negative, the core of the company isn't negative, the feeling of the parks aren't negative. So, why is there such an arrogant, condescending tone in so many posts? And why all the personal...

    Why close Snow White?

    It could be worse If you recall, the original plan for the Fantasyland expansion was to have a couple of princess' with their own castles, right where the Mine Train is going. First, for all of the meet and greet haters; it's not a cop-out by Disney, it's something the guests demand (have you...

    Disney Collectors.

    Remember when you used to find great, old stuff on ebay? Now, it's just people trying to make a lot of money off of things they know people will buy. Every now and then, we find something great at a decent price. The most treasured things in our house are probably the Mr. Toad big fig, "Prelude...

    Attraction Smells :)

    Is it just me? There are a lot of duplicates on here, so I'll throw out a new one. Have you ever noticed that the Phoenician scene in Space Ship Earth smells like crayons? I always loved that, since the scene is now how the Phoenicians taught us our ABCs, and the first time most of us wrote was...

    Spaceship Earth Burning Rome Scene

    Let me add... and 3) It's not WDI's fault when things that have been operational for years stop working, or get removed. That would be the responsibility of park mainetenance.

    What happened to Adventureland expansion?

    Are you sure it's mermaids? The referbs aren't always what people think. And why does everyone reduce the Adventureland expansion to a few mods in a few rides? Isn't there room for more out there?

    Little Mermaid soft openings?

    Yeah, but our queue is so much cooler.

    Little Mermaid soft openings?

    You can't get there from here Even if the ride is done and functional, you can't access it until all the rock work in front is finished, as well as the Castle Wall and surrounding area development.

    My Dream...one day a week, or a month...Adults Only in the MK

    My wife and I have joked about this for a while now, but we have no kids. I have a different take on it, and it's just my opinion. I'm 40, and some of the best memories I have of childhood happen at Disneyland. It was the only place our family went together, where there wasn't some sort of work...

    What happened to Adventureland expansion?

    Why wouldn't it surprise you? Iger has already thrown out 2015 for an opening date. Since it usually takes five years from blue sky until Johnny walks in with a balloon, it sounds like he's pressing the pace.

    Tom Staggs visits Epcot

    There are a couple of people in charge of creative, I was just pointing out that they should be separate from the business minded. From what I've seen, John has a tremendous respect for themed entertainment. Wait until some video comes out on some 'special edition blue ray' thing about the...
