    Uh oh, Disney...Critics Don't Buy Tickets (Star Wars The Last Jedi)

    The Cinemascore on this movie is an A. General Audiences are loving it. RT Audience rating is a poor indicator of general audiences as it the score is drive by "online fanboys" for lack of a better term. Your average Joe isn't the one going onto Metacritic or RT to create an account and give...

    News 2018 Epcot Festival of the Arts dates revealed

    Luck of the draw maybe? I've gone every January/Feb since 2009. I didn't notice a significant increase overall. I was there from the Saturday prior, through the entire week, and left the Monday after the game. I stayed away from MK that Friday, because of the game and went to Epcot for the...

    News 2018 Epcot Festival of the Arts dates revealed

    I flew home day after the game last year (stayed the extra day to avoid the airfare hikes on game day). Outside of a few more people in NFL attire at MCO, there wasn't much of an impact. Security lines were typical. No issues elsewhere.

    News 2018 Epcot Festival of the Arts dates revealed

    I was there during the Pro Bowl last year. I wasn't tracking wait times or anything like that, but I didn't see a noticeable difference over previous years. Definitely less of an impact than when the Superbowl was in Florida when I was there back in 2009. World Showcase was obviously a bit...

    News 2018 Epcot Festival of the Arts dates revealed

    I'm glad they are keeping the kiosks open 7 days a week this year. Maybe it will thin out some of the lines a bit. Last year, kiosks were frequently running out of the most popular food items when I was there. Spreading out some of the demand may help them keep up with crowds a bit more.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    One other thing to consider is that both Wall-E and Ratatouille have developed more of a following over time. Moreso among adults clearly, but they have developed a reputation among "movie people" as being among the best quality Pixar films as evidenced by their placement (along with Inside out...

    MK Navigation help

    Just to provide a Fantasyland based alternative (since you'll have a young child with you), I have done the following for a 10:15 FP setup many times over the last few years and find it works well with children in tow. Assuming you do make it there at or shortly after rope drop, you should be...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This originates from a guy going by the name of Mike Zeroh who is notorious for spreading fake Star Wars film spoilers. Not saying he couldn't be right here, but his track record would indicate otherwise.

    Lighthouse Sandwich Gone?

    This was a must eat for me every trip (usually towards the end of a trip, when I was sick of greasy food). A relatively healthy counter-service option at a quick service that isn't a salad is really tough to find. Especially at MK. I'm going to really miss this on my next trip. Here's...

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    They did away with the idea that the doctor only has 12 regenerations a few years back. As far as I am aware, there is currently no stated limit on the number of future incarnations. It could seemingly go on indefinitely. So, I doubt that would be a problem for Disney. The sinking ratings...

    News Disney Not Renewing Great Movie Ride Sponsorship Deal with TCM ; Attraction to Close

    My 7 year old thinks they're the best thing since sliced bread and watches them nearly daily. Go figure. Just shows how useless anecdotal evidence is. I'm guessing Disney knows how popular they are and likely wouldn't use it if they would fail to draw in guests. As far as the animation style...

    Matt Vogel is the New Voice of Kermit

    It isn't about the grand scheme though. Its about relative salary. If each subsidiary and division is charged with reducing overhead, then as far as muppet performers go, I would guess he was probably one of the highest payed considering his tenure and the profile of his role as Kermit. Its...

    Matt Vogel is the New Voice of Kermit

    Likely the same reason there's been a rash of layoffs and forced retirements across Disney's subsidiaries of high priced talent. Imagineers, ESPN personalities, muppeteers. It seems like Disney is on a mission to cut overhead by reducing "unnecessary" high cost employees. Even when they are...

    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    MSEP > Spectro I enjoy the theming of Storybook Circus. Epcot is my favorite Park at WDW. Animal Kingdom is second. Ellen's Energy Adventure isn't as bad as people make it out to be. A few voice over tweaks to the science and a spruce up of the ride itself would fix it.

    What is your favorite ride scene?

    Top of SSE. Always awe inspiring regardless of which version.

    Music Loops

    Disney loops are a great Monday killer. Nothing like flipping on a loop at work, closing your eyes, and pretending you are somewhere else for a bit. I may or may not have done that already this morning. :) My current personal favorites are... - Tomorrowland - Animal Kingdom Lodge Lobby -...

    Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

    And all that is fine. But coming into a message board full of enthusiasts and telling them it is silly or childish to care about the ideals of the art form is also an exercise in futility. You seem to imply that the snobbery is exclusive. That we are all some uniform block saying no IP's in...

    End of Wishes and MSEP?

    With so many people not spending that hour or more crowding Main Street and Frontierland, I wonder how much revenue they are losing in sales of food, souvenirs, and light up toys. Just from personal experience, a night where the family and I parked for a good parade spot could quickly turn into...

    Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

    I'll take a stab at that. Its because for some, the end result isn't the only factor. If Rat was produced exactly the same, but there had never been a movie on which it was based, you are correct that the ride itself would be no better or worse than it is now. But my feeling on the ride's...

    New MK welcome show debuts Jan. 9th

    Agreed. I mostly travel off peak, but still noticed how much of a mess the train station was during opening. That was a disaster waiting to happen. It was a necessary move. I just wish it looked like they put any effort at all into the new show. Especially when the old one was such a fan...
