    Disney After Hours Event

    So it's been asked a few times -- and all I see is speculation that EMH is ending. It's definitely a logical jump (unlike the RoL bull donkey). But I have to press - and forgive me for doing so - Is there anyone with real intel that can verify the objective is to phase out EMH?

    No outside food and drink in WDW parks?

    Sorry -- I have to jump in here. It's not a privilege either. That's skewing things a good bit in a direct that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What it is, is a product that is purchased. Nothing more, nothing less. Guests pay for the product and most have a reasonable expectation on what...

    DCL Revises Alcohol Policy

    Hey, Im bumping this thread ... Because Im hoping some recent cruisers can corroborate a thought I had after reading this post. I remember when I cruised on the Dream back in '13, I was able to order 12 or 24 bottles of beer to my stateroom. Since I had not carried on any beer for that cruise...

    Cuts coming to every area of parks and resorts - thanks to Shanghai and Paris

    Question ...Has anyone compiled all of the announced cuts in one post? Ive seen some examples mentioned in this thread (such as future world closing, etc), but Im curious whether the impact to the guest experience has been considered in the aggregate....and if not, it might make for an...

    Star Wars Disney Characters Going Away?

    Sigh. If only they did this for the rest of the Disney IP, i.e Marvel, POTC, etc.

    Man tries to bring gun into Disney World, deputies say (WFTV)

    "Gerson walked away and the security guard located a sheriff’s deputy, a Sheriff’s Office report said. The deputy followed Gerson from a distance, and when he noticed he was being followed, Gerson started to run, according to the report. That’s when the deputy pointed a gun at Gerson, commanding...

    Grand Californian

    This! A hundred times over....for both Anaheim and Orlando. I know its very chic around these parts to malign anyone that stays on property - and if you delve into the news and rumors forum here, you'll be acosted and outcast as a fiscally obtuse moron for picking a bed on property vs off...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    I hate to be harping on the numbers, I guess it's the auditor in me. But 10% for MK and another 10% for Epcot, means 80% of $3B....or $2.4B. If we're going to throw around the $3B number for DHS -- we should probably really call it $2.4B. To me, $600M is a significant difference. I also have...

    Disney Quest to close in July 2017

    Disney Quest to close in July 2017

    AFAIK, DisneyQuest was never 'owned' by Disney - and please, someone correct me if Im wrong. It is my understanding that it was licensed to and run by a third-party entity based in either Chicago or Philly. So laying blame on WDW/TDO for what this place was, is or never was -- is a little...

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    No, he absolutely did predict Rasulo leaving. In this very thread. I wont bother chasing down the post, because I dont have a disposable 4 hours to scour the thread...but I definitely remember @WDW1974 predicting rasulo would be gone - it was right after staggs got the nod, if you have the...

    Adventureland Veranda - Skipper Canteen restaurant

    Oh man I hope so! I really wish they would get out of the 50s mindset and tell the teetotalers to stuff it. I just love it when a few of them start spouting how Walt never drank.... :joyfull:

    Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

    Nice point. Here's a counter point. No one. Absolutely no one (with a brain) that has gone to WDW between Jan 5 and today or will be going to WDW in the next month, was given any indication that this mess would be going on during their trip. So fair warning isn't a very good defense. Most...

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    The west side seems to have definitely been opened up, as indicated earlier in this thread. That's fantastic news...and it looks fantastic! I suspect the west side might soft open before the east side.....

    Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

    My point that they should just leave it up and let nature rot it down. That was what the poster quoted and that was what was dripping with sarcasm. I still stand by my point that they are taking the cheap way out here and as park guests, despite paying the same admission with walls up all over...

    You do realize my post was dripping with a healthy bit of sarcasm, right?

    Multiple family dining parties w/ TiW

    LOL. I am remaining cautiously optimistic. When we first planned it out last summer, we were all in different resorts -- but we were able to rejigger our plans to all be in the same resort. However, I have no illusions, at all, about the logistical nightmare this might very well become. I...
