    News Disney to develop residential communities with new 'Storyliving by Disney' business

    Yeah, when my family moved to the mainland the very idea was totally foreign to us. I just always thought it was some weird east coast thing, but it was also pretty foreign to my wife who grew up in the (rural) northeast. I still remember when we moved here and got a nasty letter complaining...

    What is the best park in North America outside of Disney and Universal?

    Let me add Six Flags over Texas has the whole Banana Splits association which at least triples its coolness factor. At least in my odd worldview.

    Great watch: The Senseless Death of EPCOT

    Yeah, that one is pretty bad, too. Even worse when you think about what used to occupy that space.

    News Disney to develop residential communities with new 'Storyliving by Disney' business

    OMG. I can't even bear to imagine an HOA run by Disney Adults. Living the no HOA dream right now.

    What is with the Smell of the Monorails?

    Early morning, in an empty car? Smells faintly like band-aids to me and is somewhat reminiscent of Laphroaig, which is fine by me. It also smells kind of like an old Cessna. Maybe Bombardier used the same plastics as Cessna? Later in the afternoon, in the Summer? It smells like sweaty, fat people.

    What is the best park in North America outside of Disney and Universal?

    This. I could go either way with this poll - Busch Gardens Williamsburg, or Dollywood. I sided with Dollywood since it's such a great park and their customer service edges out BGW. BGW still could have won the day for me, if they still had their beer monorail.

    Another things wrong post

    The ride photo errors seemed really excessive this year. In past years, we'd get one or two shots of random people, but this year, my gallery was full of randoms, like over 25%. And several missing photos. Whatever, that photopass is too darn expensive anyway. For us, that whole...

    News Disney CEO Bob Chapek suggests price hikes are coming to the parks thanks to guest demand

    I predict that vloggers and influencers will be feted and placed in a special "loud applause" section front and center.

    News Disney CEO Bob Chapek suggests price hikes are coming to the parks thanks to guest demand

    The de facto price increases from Genie+ and Lighting Lanes just so you can actually get on rides weren't enough?

    Great watch: The Senseless Death of EPCOT

    Well we're back from Disney World. Been back for a couple of weeks. The post-Disney funk is different this time, and pretty much because of EPCOT. Yes, I rope-dropped Guardians due to my son. And then paid to ride it again because I'm a sucker contributing to the problem, and my son enjoyed it...

    Top of the World Reopening Soon

    I really don't get the villains theme or how it's supposed to make sense with the Contemporary. What am I missing here? All that said, if it were rethemed along the lines of this, which was in Diamonds are Forever...

    One restaurant on Disney Property wins Michelin Star

    Huh? We went in July 2020 and we resort hopped without any problems or questions. Were we not supposed to? If so, add that to the laundry list of other random arbitrary rules I simply ignored that year.

    News 2022 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    Some personal notes now that the menus are released. Is this early? Wasn't Food & Wine a Fall event? Disappointed that the Spam Hash hasn't returned - that was delicious. I'm gonna eat the heck outta those musubis though No pommes frites at the Belgian or German stands makes me sad. What I'd...
