    News Improvements coming to the entrances of all four Walt Disney World theme parks

    It would be good if the new layout makes it feel like you have arrived at MK at that point, and you are now inside the magic from that point. Maybe a food outlet with soda, popcorn, cookies etc, a DVC booth ;-), fastpass terminals etc. ?

    What's the best quick service restaurant at Epcot?

    Sunshine Seasons has more variety than anywhere else, and more seating. Going to be the easiest reliable option during a busy season.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    r.e. bus provision once this is open. Disney constantly messes with the bus offering, especially for the water parks. Even if the routes are retained initially, they will be under review once they can see guest demand and judge those feedback forms. Bus returns from Epcot will retain some...

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    The idea of getting a train direct to the Magic Kingdom, like in Paris or Hong Kong, appeals. Unfortunately, that isn't what this is offering. This is a train station near the ESPN World of Sports. The idea is not likely to take a significant segment of traffic onto property unless Disney...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Pandora in Paris would need to be inside a bio-dome like the Eden Project in the UK to work. Star Wars, Marvel and Frozen all make more sense for attracting more paying customers to DLP.

    Not really a useful comparison, as the London system has sealed units and air conditioning: http://gondolaproject.com/2012/09/12/how-londons-emirates-air-line-cable-car-powers-cabins/

    News Rafiki's Planet Watch is closing Oct. 21st will reopen in Summer 2019

    All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

    News Rafiki's Planet Watch is closing Oct. 21st will reopen in Summer 2019

    My prediction is that the enhancements will be a tie in based around The Walking Dead with the skeletal pigs and goats in the Affection Section, which have gone feral after 6 months backstage left to their own devices.

    It just needs a mural, giant Skyline logo or something painting on it to make it blend in.

    News Mariachi Cobre Present the Story of 'Coco' at Epcot this Spring

    It amazes me how your mind filters out the guy moving the puppet. I know they do the same in other shows (Nemo etc.)... but it is still a strange phenomena.

    News Liberty Square to Fantasyland walkway to be widened behind Cinderella Castle

    or just put some posts at either end to stop "large vehicles" entering. Even better, just put posts at one end, and some benches so people could watch the confused faces of RV buggy drivers as they wonder what to do ;-)

    Any Bets on What Comes After Galaxy's Edge?

    The overall point is the same... there is plenty of stuff in DHS that needs refreshing for a few years post Galaxies Edge opening. 5 years down the line, they might need a GE expansion to keep them coming, and to expand the park through Launch Bay and around to R+RC... but improving what is...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I'd expect loading will typically be 2 parties per gondola, front bench and back bench (with exceptions for non-typical parties). That makes organising guests relatively simple, so minimising the need for load staff. Park closing will likely be a special case, of cramming people in every gap -...

    New Dark Ride

    I'm not sure you can make the ride and then decide where to place it. You need to find the location, and then decide what attraction could fit there. e.g. Tomorrowland in MK, or Launch Bay in DHS....

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    It looks to me that the tram tour re-route is a temporary bodge whilst they work on getting something new built to allow it to go. Its a relatively cheap job to lay new tarmac, and move the queue line . Hopefully they will manage to line the new route with some new features.... Endor with ewoks...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    There is some space to expand the Boardwalk between IG and BW if Disney wanted to make it into Springs Jnr around there. I suspect the returns are better from continuing to add restaurants inside Epcot though. Japan and WS Space restaurant won't be the last additions: even if it needs a new...

    The Case of the Missing Dolphin Light

    The Case of the Missing Dolphin Light

    I suspect the resort gets away with the light on a technicality. Whilst the triangle reaches to 257ft, most of the section above the main roofline is all fake building. The actual building structure is likely below 200ft; and somehow they got away with using that as the height.

    With Disneyland Paris announcing the closure date and re-theme of Rock N Roller Coaster, is WDW next?

    Isn"t part of the restriction around the use of the "Marvel" trademark? One for the lawyers to argue about... but it doesn't sound like the type of legal argument it would be wise to initiate.
