    Still versus video?

    I love getting video that is special to me, but over the years I finally realized that with most Disney visits I can already find video of most every ride that is as good as I would have gotten so why bother. If I'm capturing my kids that's one thing... but for parades and rides, I finally...

    what has happened to the " star wars " hotel?

    It would have cost next to nothing to simply put some meet and greets in it. I suspect the real reason it was closed completely is probably some accounting trick where they get to write off the full cost of the building in one fell swoop rather than having to string it along for 30 years if it...

    News New projectors Coming to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

    I'm convinced they saw how much money Disney Quest saved by never fixing the broken games that they decided to use the same maintenance routine for Buzz Lightyear.

    News New projectors Coming to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

    I can't recall the last time my family road it and everyone had a working car and blaster... if you were lucky the car and at least 1 blaster would work... The ride should have been completely gutted and reworked a long long time ago. The last trip we really only got on it to see if they had...

    Prices up…profits down…

    Once upon a time we were a Disney only family... then we sampled Universal... and soon we realized it was simply better. While we've stayed at every type of resort Disney has, we not only find it to be more economical to stay at Universal we also find it more enjoyable. Our trips now are...

    Prices up…profits down…

    The problem is the wait times are rarely accurate. Disney seems to use them to try and herd people to an from particular ride by posting wait times that are intended to attract people or scare them away. And while people can still afford them, even people that can afford them aren't willing to...

    If you could implement 1 major change throughout the parks, what would it be?

    Not a big fan of the overlays. I've done them in DL and while I did enjoy the overlays they've done in Space Mountain, they don't really work that well in Haunted Mansion. Probably the only thing I ever remember as being cool in that overlay was when they had the smell of ginger bread in the...

    If you could implement 1 major change throughout the parks, what would it be?

    A new pricing structure that eliminates the price difference for those under 10 and adults, the only different price is for anyone under 3 - they get charged double the adult rate and that extra charge is for the space the strollers take up... thos under 2 are banned from entry for their own...

    Will there be a 7th Disneyland Resort in a tropical country?

    Not sure Southeast Asia need one when you already have parks in China and Japan. Europe can hardly support the one it has so no more there... South America used to be a possible place although the current economic nightmare has kind of soured the economics in most SA countries. Frankly I think...

    Be our guest with 2 year old

    Good to know. Now I have another reason to convince my girls that we have already done BOG enough to last a lifetime.

    Be our guest with 2 year old

    All I can say is don't expect much from the food. BOG is nice for the atmosphere, and I've done it multiple times for my kids... but as a place to enjoy food it was not high on the list. As the other poster recommended Crystal Palace, it really is a much better option for a family with a 2...

    Why not remove Cinderella's Castle

    Having endured DCA's cars land, I hope it never gets dumped anywhere at Disneyworld. The rides they had their were notorious for breaking down and that isn't just the actual Radiator Racers it was every ride they tried there except Mater's Junkyard... Even when some of the rides were supposedly...

    Why not remove Cinderella's Castle

    I suspect removing the river would be much more difficult than just filling it in with dirt. Given the near daily rain showers at MK the river provides a nice place for lots of water to run off to. Without it I would expect they would need to do some expensive work or end up with the same...

    Why not remove Cinderella's Castle

    A coaster or ride would cost too much... Iger wants to put in meet and greets but start charging people for each meet... and if a kid dares to hug the character it an additional 10 dollar charge for contaminating the costume with cooties.

    Has Anyone Ever Been Banned From Disney for Posting Videos of Their Experiences on YouTube? Can They?

    While not Disney, I knew two guys in high school that got caught stealing an entire entertainment center from Target.. they were both banned for life from ever going back into the Target or even into the parking lot... A year after high school I went into the same Target that had banned them...

    To those who rode the original 20k under the sea at DW, can you share your experience?

    I remember riding it the first time I was taken to Disney World back in the 70's... being a young kid I thought I was really going under water and I thought it was insanely cool.... then when I was older in the 80's I remember that I realized it was never actually going underwater, and also...

    New Awful Security Screening Process

    I carry one with me all the time, have had it when I went to Disney normally just loose in my pockets and guess what, it doesn't set off any metal detector. But you are correct on it being highly unlikely that anyone is going to do a knife attack... not out of the question though as Europe has...

    New Awful Security Screening Process

    Although they also make a version with a ceramic blade that is completely undetectable by a metal detector. The reality is they will never be able to stop a person that is intent on getting weapons into the park. We are simply fortunate that most people aren't trying to do nefarious things...

    When did Disney start overpromising and under delivering?

    Been doing that off and on for decades... Most recently 9/11 and the banking crisis smacked them hard enough that the actually started picking up a bit... but by 2010 they were starting to go the wrong way again... at first it was just little things here and there... but it just seemed to be...

    I never understood why Disney public transportation sucks s

    I don't think you have a clue as to how expensive it is to install light rail which is what you would be doing for a monorail from the airport to Disney. You would be spending more than a billion dollars just for the line from the airport to Disney. Not everyone that goes to Disney even...
