    Post Something You Miss

    Not to be picky, but 75 doesn't run into Orlando.;) I'm assuming you meant the Turnpike. Also I meant short RANGE not WAVE, that was a brain fart on my part. All joking aside, I vaguely remember picking it up in Ocala, right after visiting the WDW welcome center. However it usually cut out...

    Pop Century: Standard or Preferred?

    I have stayed at Pop more times than I care to count. I would say that paying a few extra bucks for preferred room is well worth it, usually it puts you in the 60's building right by the pool. After a long day at the parks that loooong walk back to your room in the 50's, 80's, or 90's buildings...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    How the heck did this turn from a rational discussion about high price points and the choice to pay them or not, to mud slinging, snide remarks, and insults? Now I'm starting to remember why I quit coming to this site all those years ago.

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    My whole point is that people are used to the status quo and thus don't question it. People don't think they can do anything about it and in turn have a "why bother" attitude. When more people finally realize that their wallets have more power than anything else to affect bad business practices...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Not really, that was the most obvious complaint of them all. People have no problem paying $10+ for drinks/snacks at sports arenas, concerts, movie theaters, and various other venues. Why is it that because the same thing happens at Disney that its outrageous? Its standard business practice...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Ahh ok, maybe it was 2017 for something else. There are so many projects going on at the parks its hard to keep track. Thanks.

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Honestly this whole argument is moot actually. Disney is not ripping anyone off, there are water fountains all over every park and resort that are completely free. Yes, they charge $3 for a bottle of water, but it is by far the only choice. If people are willing to bypass a free water fountain...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Well if people were more aware of the bringing your own water bottle rule then this whole thing would end up being a non issue. Whenever we go to the parks, instead of bringing a water bottle, we buy a single $3 bottle of water and just refill it all day. We did this each day we were in the park...

    Respecting Cast Members

    I have always gone out of my way to be friendly and talkative with cast members. I did my fair share of working customer service in and out of theme parks here in GA, I know what its like to sit out in the hot sun all day and deal with rude people. That's why I'm always kind and friendly with...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Also people have gotten used to smuggling drinks and snacks into movies to avoid the high prices, I don't think its common knowledge that you can bring your own water bottle into the parks and fill it at the nearest water fountain. So a lot of it comes down to the fact that people end up paying...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Kind of funny that people pitch a fit about $3 for a bottle of water at WDW, but yet no one bats an eye at the $5 drinks at your average movie theater. I guess it comes down to what people are exposed to most. A lot of people frequent the movie theater on a regular basis and the pricing is...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Do they have a ETA on opening for SWL? I heard somewhere it would be summer 2017, does that still stand? Sorry if its been stated, I'm at work and trying to multitask. Oh and hi everyone. I've been gone for a while but I'm back. :)

    Heart Broken

    Thanks for your sympathies guys. I know WDW will still be there when the time comes for us to visit again. I think more than anything the lack of a vacation after a stressful year is whats taking its toll. As many of you know, going to WDW is a total escape from reality and I was hoping to have...

    Heart Broken

    I did something last week I've never had to do before in my life and it was actually physically painful. We had a trip to WDW booked for June to stay for a week, but last week I had to cancel it. There were some severe storms here in Atlanta back last month and we had some major hail damage to...

    Captain EO

    Well OJ Simpson was found not guilty as well, but its widely believed now that he was in fact guilty. I feel the same way about MJ!! While MJ may have been found not guilty in a court of law it doesn't mean that he was entirely innocent, it just means he had better lawyers. Yes, I'm saying I...

    Captain EO

    That analogy doesn't really fit since none of the actors in The Avengers were accused of child molestation. The fact that MJ was tied up in litigation over his child molestation charges for many years should have been enough for Disney to distant themselves from him as much as possible and never...

    Captain EO

    Given all the negative publicity surrounding MJ when he died, this is pretty much all I think of whenever I think of this attraction now.

    Captain EO

    I couldn't have said it better myself!! With all the negative publicity surrounding MJ before he died, I felt it in very bad taste for Disney to bring back this gawd awful attraction just to increase turnstile numbers. It was terrible when it was new and its down right embarrassing now. This...
