    Rumor - Possible ticket price increases coming this Sunday (2/28)

    You nailed it. Can you imagine WDW, in its current state, trying to remain a competitive, relevant entertainment destination without MK? Relying solely on the rich abundance of quality, state-of-the-art attractions (sarcasm) found at their other three parks? I mean that's still one more park...

    Habit Heroes Closed

    Alas, poor Future World! I knew and loved him; a fellow of infinite wonder, of most excellent fancy. Now I could find more to do at Wonderworks for $26.99. Nice job TDO.

    House Homeland chair warns of terror attacks at Disney, Oscars, Mall of America

    Not to mention ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand, cannibals and snakes, the plague. Also large bugs, men with pointy teeth and...Stop, no more, you'll just upset me. :coldfeet:

    The Town Center construction

    What a beautiful place to spend some time away from the parks. We have two nights planned there during our March trip. Can't wait to see how much more they can get done in 59 days!

    2015 Christmas Week phase closings watch

    So pretty much the vision that Walt had when he began purchasing the property.

    2015 Christmas Week phase closings watch

    Oh, uh-uh. I would sooner subject myself to a simultaneous root canal and barium enema than deal with that nightmare.

    New Disney PhotoPass product - Memory Maker One Day

    That was our experience as well, but with a far greater percentage of photos. A camera is only as good as the photographer using it. Is there any screening process (i.e. examples of work) involved to be hired for this position? I'm thinking even the popcorn guy could take photos that aren't...

    New Disney PhotoPass product - Memory Maker One Day

    I have been unimpressed with 95% of the photos taken during our past four (recent) trips. We felt compelled to buy none of them. Quite frankly my iPhone 6 takes far better photos IMHO. Thankfully the PhotoPass photographers are always willing (and often times offer eagerly) to take some shots...

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    OK, I'll bite. What the heck DOES it stand for??

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    I just noticed that the top of the corner column has a carving of the temple monkey with the golden pot on his head. Nice detail!!!!

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    I like this room, too, but would rank it a notch below the SEA room and several notches above the main dining room. (Does it have a formal name?) Thanks for sharing all of your photos!!

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    Opinion totally changed. The SEA room is just amazing. I can't tell if those are feathers or shields on the crown moulding, but either way it's an awesome detail. Love the leopard skin chair fabric, too!

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    Thanks! You are SO correct...I missed the photos on the previous page. LOVE the painting of Shirley's Temple over the fireplace and the parrot light fixtures. I hope someone can post photos of all of the dining spaces.

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    I hate to be THAT guy, but I must admit I'm a little underwhelmed by the main room decor. I was expecting a MUCH more immersive ambiance (i.e. weird, tacky jungle "stuff" everywhere). Other than the banner and plaque, nothing about the physical space itself screams "Jungle Cruise". Maybe the...

    Thanks for sharing that information! Glad to know my Disney intuition is still on fleek.

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    It would indeed...I just figured there was inadequate square footage at El Pirata for a table service character experience.

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    Actually, Adventureland Veranda closed over 20 years ago! (July '94)!!! I always thought Disney missed a golden opportunity in not re-opening it as a Pirate-themed character meal restaurant during the Jack Sparrow franchise years. Seemed like a no-brainer to me given its location. But I am...

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    I'm trying to remember...was the glass roof behind the sign always there, or is that new? I'm thinking it was already there.

    Tiffins - A new table service restaurant coming to Discovery Island at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    So if they have outside seating can I feed the birds...Tiffins a bag?

    Captain EO final show on 12/6 - Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival to be the replacement

    I am a lower school STEM instructor by profession. Given the national push for STEM initiatives at all grade levels, it amazes me that Epcot has not capitalized on such hands-on experiences as engineering and robotics, for example. This, to me, is a perfect fit for Innoventions, if nothing...
