    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I didn't see this posted anywhere else, but there is going to be a Star Wars Galaxy's Edge inspired comic book coming out https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-galaxys-edge-opening-early-marvel-comics-1177706

    Pinioned birds at Animal Kingdom—UPDATED

    I tend to lean more towards what the animal experts and doctors, many with degrees in the given subject matter are feeling on a topic in terms of the effect on animals. In our growing society, some ecosystems are being swallowed up entirely, or due to changes in climate, what once was...

    Pinioned birds at Animal Kingdom—UPDATED

    It's difficult, as I said. I have heard in my time at visiting various zoos, that large birds have troubles in enclosed aviaries as they can injure their wings on the walls or ceiling, as quite a few birds soar when they fly. Disney does have aviaries where pigeon sized birds can freely fly, but...

    Pinioned birds at Animal Kingdom—UPDATED

    This is a tough topic for me, and I do respect everyone's views, as I do think people are concerned and worried about animals welfare. Both sides of the argument have some solid points. I think we as a society, are making sizable progress over the decades from the horrid conditions animals were...

    Question about purchases at the resorts

    A while back, I remember reading that Disney World was going to start a policy where they were no longer going to accept cash at the resorts, and were going to strictly debit/credit/magic bands and gift cards. Is that still a policy? If I remember right, it was a trial run for a larger expansion...

    A project I'm working on....to 3D print

    I may be mistaken, but I think the vehicle you are trying to construct is still actually on display in Walt Disney World. At least the cast model of it, or some early version, is leaning against a pillar, high above an office in the Backlot Express Restaurant at Hollywood Studios. Either way...

    As stated above, I don't know much about the moving parts behind the scenes of Disney World in terms of who is in charge of what. From what I understand (and I could be wrong about this), Chapek was in charge of merchandising, and then when the Parks devision was lumped into merchandising, he...

    I don't know all the business sides to the company. Naming who is to blame, and who's decision was it to do X, I'm not at all convinced I have the knowledge for. What I can say though, is that Walt Disney World will likely continue to exist for years. The attractions in it, should be designed...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    Hopefully the show will still be enjoyable, as I don't want Disney and the creators of the show to spend money, and time and effort and have it fall flat. Most of the reported new nighttime shows to me seem very similar to Fantasmic, and less like Wishes and Illuminations, specifically...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    It was true, even before Frozen that some movies were represented in more then one park ala Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid, but I wish they'd make it more organized. I can see a parent having enough money to take their kid for one day to a Disney park. If that kid loves Frozen, they...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    I think that Frozen in a way was a positive and a negative to the parks, though not by it's own doing was it at fault. Obviously it was a very successful, popular movie people liked. It being added somewhere in Disney World was obvious. They made the decision that Frozen would be added as a ride...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    Well, I will admit, I hadn't thought of that, and it at the very least is an attempt at making it unique. However, I would assume the inclusion of the IPs is to be more inclusive towards a younger demographic. If that's the case, having famous Disney songs sung in other languages would probably...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    I'm afraid Disney is getting to the point where they no longer want to do things that are new and different, and want to go the safe route, of simply falling back on the popularity of their characters. I must admit, I'd pick different characters, but quite a few people know about almost any...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    I wasn't counting the special shows that only appear on a holiday. When you Wish Upon a Star is one of the most classic Disney songs around. Most of the truly classic songs have been seemingly retired, and if....if....they have to do it more IP focused, turning their backs on those, to me...

    Rumor New nighttime show at Epcot

    It's sad to see, if this is going the way some have forcasted, that Epcot is going to see a ton more IP and less about the actual countries. I think the only reason Disney will even try to keep the countries idea alive is to justify the restaurants. The countries themselves haven't been...

    Christmas disappointment ....

    It wouldn't have much of an effect elsewhere, but at least for Magic Kingdom, which is probably the most iconic and significant tree in all of Disney World, the Utilidors may make that difficult. If you installed a tall evergreen, it's probably got to have an amazing root structure, assuming you...

    Walt's favorite attraction?

    There can be an argument made for several. Whereas it is true that it is specifically stated in CoP that Walt personally liked it, none of the other classic attractions have small documentary spiels before talking about the creation or history of the attractions. Perhaps if Pirates or Small...

    Trip with terminally ill sister

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation, and I hope and pray that you and your family have a safe and enjoyable trip. It probably would be a good idea to get a wheelchair (or motorized scooter) for her, I don't know if you are planning to stay onsite or not, but I think there are several scooter...

    Not Allowed to Go to Resorts Anymore If You Aren't Staying There?

    Couldn't Disney just use MyMagic+ to help enforce the people who walk from Contemporary to MK? I mean if they take your ID information when you park there, then if an hour later someone is entering MK with that magic band, they'd know. My understanding was MyMagic+ had some form of GPS? Even if...

    News American Adventure Refurb, New Projectors and Ending Video

    I think the more I think about the montage as the way it's presented, it isn't necessarily about who are Great Americans, as that to some degree means the person is going to have to be famous to begin with, to even qualify. I think many are hallmarks of time periods, and somewhat like a time...
