    Disney World Low Attendance Paradox

    I agree. The movies are usually a letdown. I have been going to WDW for at least the past 10 years in a row and have noticed I am not receiving any offers. Not to mention no longer receiving Disney Parks blog in my email. I’ve tried adjusting settings on my account. I have written to Disney &...

    Disney World Low Attendance Paradox

    Wouldn’t it be a surprise if nobody really cares about Star Wars! I know I don’t. I mean no offense, it’s just that Disney & Star Wars do not go together in my mind. Honestly park attendance is probably down some because it costs so darn much to go and families are taking a break and holding...

    News Main Street Cinema Chapeked - UPDATE!!

    <Every freakin' public space or Guest area at Disneyland does not need to have a merch table hawking wares> OMG, that is so true!! Maybe Project Stardust should have gotten rid of a bunch of the junky merchandise to allow more room for the crowds expected for Star Wars.

    Rumor Country Bear Jamboree to be Replaced by Toy Story Show?

    Well first they closed the one in DL in 2001. So I’ve been worried for this one ever since. I think they’ve shortened it some, haven’t they? Maybe they could do a Toy Story stage show wherever there were rumors of building a Moana ride. Not sure where I read that. Maybe I am getting...

    Architectural authenticity at World Showcase

    I guess this just goes to show, people made boo-boos even back in the day. Reminds me of my daughter, who as a teenager insisted on installing crown molding (moulding?) in her room by herself and she put it in upside down. She has since moved on and her younger sister occupies the room and the...

    Disneyland AFTER WDW

    Worth mentioning, you may purchase FPs at DLR/Maxpass. Also there are fewer actual on site resorts and they are very pricey. Unlike WDW where you have a range of resort levels (we love the Values/Pop Century). Also note in WDW they freely dish out free drinking water. At DLR a CM looked at me...

    Disneyland AFTER WDW

    I was told by my sister-in-law that I would not like DL after having visited only WDW multiple times (about 16 total). Well, she was wrong. It is the original!! Super charming. Much more manageable. I did some research and we stayed at a Best Western on harbor drive. It is so close to DL, I...

    Is it worth shipping food staples to a resort?

    It may be worth it for some, but I’ve never felt the need. I don’t find Disney QS places to be that expensive in the parks and in our case, that is where we spend all our time. I drink tons of free water offered in the parks. We often split meals. Portions are generous. I just don’t find the...

    How long will you enjoy theme parks, or how long DID you enjoy the rides?

    I’ve never liked the club scene, lol! So at 58, I much prefer as I always have, good clean family fun. I went to WDW the year it opened (I was 11) and several times with my first two kids. Then I began going when the third and last child turned 5. Then it got really crazy. I went every year with...

    My fear

    The one year I was concerned was a few years back when the flu was worse than usual and seemed to be lasting into early spring. We were fine though. Actually we’ve never gotten sick flying to and from, or at Disney. We do have a sort of short flight though: from TX. I am not a huge fan of...

    Quick Question | Why did sooo many people flock to Pandora everyday?

    Sorry, should read “the back to front of stay trick.” You have a better chance of obtaining the FOP FPs or any more difficult to get FP for that matter, if you plan it toward the end of a long stay at the 60 day mark. So we planned AK for the latter part of our stay. I briefly forgot my plan...

    Quick Question | Why did sooo many people flock to Pandora everyday?

    I know I am certainly guilty of falling for the hype and wanting to check out the latest thing. I was able to snag FPs for FOP on 3 separate days for myself and my daughter using the back to front of stay trick. That left me with the problem of too many AK days and I proceeded to spend more...

    A rant against Disney Profiteers

    It happens with all sorts of merchandise. Vera Bradley Disney items come to mind. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be anything in place preventing it.

    What should NOT have been replaced?

    Mr Toad and Snow White’s Scary Adventure (was that the name?). I feel like both Pooh and Princess Fairytale Hall certainly have their merits, but couldn’t they have gone elsewhere. Could they have bumped out the back of New Fantasyland? And speaking of which: RIP Mickey and Minnie’s Country...

    Rumor Disneyland Tomorrowland Future - What to do?

    I like old stuff. Even if it is not really that old, park attractions. I think it is such a shame they took out Mr. Toad and Snow White. They could’ve built Pooh elsewhere. I love the “old feel” of much of Tomorrowland. I appreciate change as well and new can be refreshing. It’s a little...

    Architectural authenticity at World Showcase

    Well and there’s the whole Pinocchio village haus, when Pinocchio is unquestionably a questionable Italian story. It’s all a hodgepodge and appropriately located in Fantasyland. Sorry, not on topic with Epcot, but worth a mention. Check out the fantastic murals in Pinocchio Village Haus. Very...

    Worst Walt Disney World Attraction

    Figment needs to be returned to its original state. I remember the first time we saw it, we were just thrilled because it was something our then “little kids” could enjoy. They’ve messed it up. R.I.P. Stich. ROL. What a long wait for such a nothing show. I want to like it. I swear I have...
