    New dark ride?

    A ride based on one of the fairy tales Disney have never done anything major with, (like the Ugly Duckling, Thumbelina, Red Riding Hood, the musicians of Bremen, Goldilocks etc.) would be nice - but I suspect that reducing the opportunity to sell related merchandise is going to make that unlikely.

    Why is 7 dwarfs mine train line so long

    That is not true at all. Barnstormer is an awful coaster that only pre-schoolers would get anything from. 7DMT is more like Big ThunderMountain Jr., with additional character scenes in the middle, and fun for all ages. Its really replaced Dumbo as the centrally placed attraction that...

    New dark ride?

    A lot of the responses are ignoring the limitations of that location. The building will only accomodate a ride of limited ambition (think peter pan / winnie the pooh); and it is next to the castle in Fantasyland - so the suitable IPs need to fit into that theming. My vote goes to Cinderella...

    What would you do with Ellen?

    I would replace Ellen with Phineas and Ferb. They are a natural fit fo a scientific topic, relevant, funny and deserve their own attraction n the parks. (Agent P in WS is great; but that is something completely different).

    How long a day is HS now?

    Thats exactly what we did a month ago; as we are unlikely to make it back this decade ;-) My 7 year old insisted on doing both PD and ToT (PLUS RnR} as well; so there is a tiny amount of cross-over appeal.

    How long a day is HS now?

    It heavily depends on how interested you are in the shows. It took us a good day and a half to cover the park (with late starts) a few weeks ago, as our kids had never been there before so we tried to do everything at least once and we had table service meals. If you have seen the shows a...

    New Hope for Indy Themed Land at the Studios?

    A quick option there would be a meet and greet with Indy and to overlay the dining and shopping options with some IJ details. The merchandise would sell well. (but maybe steer clear of the Nazi stuff ). An adaption of Star Tours would be great, with a Jeep chase, Harrison cameos, escaping from...

    New Hope for Indy Themed Land at the Studios?

    I'd really like Indy in the Animal Kingdom; as it would be a great fit. Can't see that one happening though, as that park is getting plenty of new stuff already. I can imagine another Epcot transformation of Morocco pavillion into Indiana Jones.

    Muppetvision- Retire or relocate?

    I think they should just put a Star Wars overlay onto the Muppets. How cool would Kermit Solo saving Princess Piggy with some help from Fozzie Skywalker be?

    Soarin' Expansion and new Soarin' Around the World film

    They really need to get on with replacing Illuminations next if they want to keep those restaurants full in the evenings. The dining competition from DAK, DS and WDS risks Epcot emptying out for the newer offerings. Hopefully, Disney see upgrading the offering as the way to maintain margins...

    Port Orleans French Quarter Pool Construction

    It looks like a great addition to the resort.

    Port Orleans French Quarter Pool Construction

    Port Orleans is a pair of moderates that has 7 pools, two of which are feature pools. The Poly and the Boardwalk are both Deluxe resorts with 2 pools each, one of which is a feature pool at each hotel. That isn't a like for like situation. It appears that the work on FQs feature pool has had...

    Surge Pricing Holding Up (Semi) Annual Increase ...

    The gardener's would need to tread carefully if they ever tried charging for the bathrooms; soda sales would collapse and the costs of dealing with dehydrated guests would soar. There is doubtless a spreadsheet somewhere in Disney that analyses the hit on profits to the nearest cent that will...

    Disney Quest operating hours to be cut

    Why not replace it with a collection of different family entertainment options, themed around Disney characters, which aren't represented on property. These have the advantage of not aging quickly, and using generic technology. Bumper cars (dodgems); a large soft play area for pre-teens; laser...

    Disney Quest operating hours to be cut

    Disney could make the provide much less bathroom capacity if they just integrated it info the Fastpass system. Guests could unlock stall #14 at 20:00 using their magic band, and the door would unlock on its own after your 5 minute allocation expires ;-)

    Port Orleans French Quarter Pool Construction

    Whatever time they choose for renovations is going to upset somebody; but doing the work in the coolest months of the year, when demand is at its lowest, seems a sensible compromise. Doing them one after the other would cause the disruption to spread into warmer months and affect more guests...
