    News Runoff Rapids water slides at Blizzard Beach closed for refurbishment

    So these are the only traditional 'twist & turn' water slides in the park. The rest of the slides are fairly straight and tied into a visual theme on the front side. I really hope they are not abandoning these three slides on the back side of the park, because as someone mentioned earlier...

    Grand Avenue and Baseline Tap House

    Does anyone know why the Fountain in the Muppet's Courtyard is still boarded up?? Its been like that since before Hurricane Irma came through.

    Hurricane Irma

    I think I saw those spots last Wednesday... wasn't sure what to make of it. In that same area it appears the sphere is dented inwards.

    Echo Lake Refurbishment

    I saw the lake on 9/2, and 9/5 and it was still full of water... then when we returned on 9/7, it was drained. Thought at the time it was drained in preparation for Hurricane Irma's arrival, along with all of the scaffolding and fencing scrims that were pulled down. Good times seeing all the...

    Mission:Space update (confirmed)

    I know they are trying to increase the ridership on the attraction... but the booster seat looks stupid. The preflight video of the child in the seat, his head barely fits above the bottom of the pull down restraint, even with the booster seat.

    Rumor Is Indiana Jones Planning an Adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

    Possible... but you would need to relocate the parade staging and storage areas further south... also you have to contend with the WDW railroad path. Do you go over or under the rails? How will the parade enter the MK? Not showstopping questions... but would need to be figured out.

    Rumor Is Indiana Jones Planning an Adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

    I'm sure its been said quite a number of times, and I've replied to a few FB news posts from Dis Dining and Doctor Disney on this subject. Animal Kingdom is no place for Indiana Jones ride to be replicated from Disneyland or shoe-horned into the existing Dinosaur facility. First off... park...

    Mission:Space update (confirmed)

    Keep your head back against the seat, Look straight ahead, Take several long deep breaths before liftoff and remember to keep breathing, even if it seems difficult. But there are some people who are not 'wired' correctly to experience the Orange side of the attraction They'll feel the motion...

    Mission:Space update (confirmed)

    I guess the reason for the rotation on green is to maintain the overall mechanical health and keep the bearings loose.. The spin is not part of the ride experience because of how slow it goes, right?

    Mission:Space update (confirmed)

    Saddened by this change. Gary had some great roles in space related movies that made him the ideal choice to be the Mission Control rep in the pre-flight when this pavilion opened. (Apollo 13 and Mission to Mars) But 25 days from now I will look forward to taking flight cues from Gina...

    A Spirited Valentine ...

    Going back to Walt's vision... when people are talking about Star Wars not being suited for DL, but in another park... was that really Walt's vision also? His publicly stated vision and beliefs did not include multiple theme parks in Florida... but a larger version of DisneyLand park and an...

    Annual Passholder dining discount increased at several restaurants through the summer

    I guess they are only targeting the resort restaurants whose Dis Dining resies are languishing. I'm seeing 2nd tier sit-down restaurants vs the well known at same resort location (Wave), and distant/outlier locations (WL, AKL, SS) that made the list. Maybe WDW's push for more on property...

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    I am a proponent of change... but in a park that is already limited by major construction... why the hell didn't they start the closure & construction AFTER Toy Story land opens next summer?!?!

    Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

    There's not enough trees & bio-greens in that space today to suck up all the Methane, Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, etc coming off each of those cars.

    Muppets Mini-Land / Muppets Courtyard Additions & Refurbishments

    So looking at the overhead maps it appears that Muppets area is sitting in the middle of the new SW land with the Star Tours & Jedi training on one side and the new expanded land on the other. How are they going to keep it one land with the loony Muppets & related restaurants in between the SW...

    Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I do hope it becomes a successful attraction. DHS has always lacked an attraction of that level that can be found at the MK and AK, and TSL is a good place for one.
