    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Eh, I'm not sure if I agree with that. The ride itself takes place IN the castle. You're in a teacup from the movie. At some point, you're going to need to go into the castle and that doesn't square with the castle being the entrance to BOG. I know I'm nit-picking but this is the type of...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    You'd have to somehow tie in the fact that the facade of BOG and the facade of this ride are both the Beast's castle - can't have two of those in MK. I'm sure if they wanted to they could figure that out (or maybe they don't care about show that much anymore).

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I get from an ops standpoint that the height requirement hasn't changed - I just wonder if kids that meet the height requirement might have been put off by the appearance of the drop on Splash won't feel the same looking at the mountain in its current form. I only say this because as the...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Honestly I agree with some of the thoughts on here that making it look shorter may have been on purpose to make it look "less scary" to smaller guests since it's now a princess themed attraction.

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I'm really stumped by why people think there isn't rampant abuse. Let's look at a list of SOME of the things covered by the ADA: Physical or mental impairments include, but are not limited to: visual, speech, and hearing impairments; mental retardation, emotional illness, and specific learning...

    News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

    Well that sucks - I was literally loaded to ride it last December when it broke down while my wife watched the kids who were too little (she rode before me). We didn't make it back to EPCOT that trip so I never got to ride and was hoping it would stay the Cali version until out next trip. Now...

    Want a deal on tickets and are a T-mobile Customer ?

    Honestly the “child pricing” just makes me angry. I’d rather pay the extra money than have the pointless discount. No one is not going on a Disney vacation because they won’t pay the extra $7 for the kids ticket.

    MSEP ending at Disneyland on Sept 1, WDW return in 2023?

    They trialed it and apparently it didn’t work well from previous threads on this forum.

    I also believe he said that the company believes the abuse of DAS is because people are doing everything they can to avoid paying for G+ - therefore the root problem is still G+.

    Unsure who to vote for regarding the Walt Disney Co. Board

    Chapek is an interesting study considering he grew up going to the parks and before he became profits focused as a visitor was a "parks fan." It's a point that people need to consider when thinking that someone who is a parks fan/was a parks fan will always make positive parks-focused decisions.

    Unsure who to vote for regarding the Walt Disney Co. Board

    I actually agree with this - DIS has gotten too big and it can't function with all of the competing interests. I would love OLC to take an ownership stake in the American parks but that won't ever happen.

    Unsure who to vote for regarding the Walt Disney Co. Board

    Rasulo is 1000% in this just to screw Iger for cutting him out of contention for the CEO position. You will not convince me otherwise and you never want to back a horse that's just playing for spite.

    Unsure who to vote for regarding the Walt Disney Co. Board

    It’s a bad situation either way to be honest. Peltz and Rasulo aren’t going to make things better - they’re just in it to line their pockets.

    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    I mean? I got a targeted offer on December 18, 2023 that ran for a huge chunk of dates throughout 2024 including July 4th and Dec 8-25. 1 bedroom at copper creek for 35% off in December? Don’t mind if I do. It’s insane they’ve started targeted offers at 35% off a year out.

    News Disney hints at more changes to come at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    It did shock me that USO and IOA closed like at 6 and 7 respectively when I was there (maybe one was open until 8). I wonder with the new park if we see them extend hours to match Disney so people get more “value” out of their day. If Disney wants to keep fans in the World, they are going to...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I mean, I read the article and there isn’t anything untruthful about it. It’s extremely complicated and people pay a fortune to not have to figure it out themselves. The cottage industry that has come out of understanding G+ LL, Park Reservations, ILL, and Vq’s (my head hurts from the acronyms)...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    This ride system IMO doesn’t lend itself to a VQ. It’s very popular at park opening and during the middle of the day but as the day goes on, fewer and fewer folks want to ride a flume ride and possibly spend the evening drenched. It makes the most sense that this opens standby and ILL and SDMT...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    It could not have been for just DVC members as we are not DVC. I only mentioned the 11 month window because that is when the villas become available for booking direct through Disney as well and we had to wait until the time period opened to book.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Disney calls them unique offer codes but I think they used to be called PIN (personal identification number) offers and that has kind of stuck as the verbiage around here. Either way they’re targeted offers sent to groups of people that meet whatever criteria they’re looking at, and aren’t...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Yes it's for December 2024. I actually got the email on December 18, 2023 but couldn't book until Mid-January as the DVC rooms hadn't been released to the general public as it has to be 11 months out. The PIN was valid for the following dates: 2/25–3/28/24...
