Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere. There is a new auto safety spiel that plays at Space Mountain from the entrance all the way through the tunnel up until you reach the games. This wouldn't be that annoying, but... it plays non-stop. It finishes and starts again 10 seconds later...

Hmm. That's odd. Outside of the lobby, ToT, I've noticed, has some of the worst A/C out of all the attractions. The ride itself is especially stuffy. I know the drop shafts are always warm, but before that, I remember it used to feel cold, and it doesn't anymore. If Universal can keep their...

the AC had great A/C!

But it's Florida, and the heat and humidity can be brutal. Quality A/C is crucial to enjoying the parks on those hot summer days.

The restaurants and shops are usually still really good (because they want you to stay in them and spend money). Shows are also usually kept cool, but I was thinking back to a lot of recent visits to attractions where the air inside was rather stuffy and uncomfortable. Space Mountain, Tower of...

Mildly amusing. I could pick it a part piece by piece with counterpoints, but what's the point? I wish everyone could see the real magic of WDW and not the manufactured magic that people like to be cynical about, but many people never will.

(yes I realize it's currently cold out, but I was just thinking of this) Back in the old days, walking into any building at WDW meant you were met with a powerful blast of refreshing coolness. Today this is mostly not the case. You hardly ever get that awesome climate control anymore, often its...

Usually the wait times at DAK are short to non-existent for the first hour of the park's operation, and the last two hours. So, if you get there right at park open, you shouldn't really need to use any Fastpasses. If you arrive closer to noon, however, you can expect moderate to longer waits...

As much as so many people think having hot weather for most of the year would be awesome, I'm here to tell you that, no, it isn't awesome, it gets old and boring. Plus, for nearly half the year, the weather here isn't "warn and nice", it's too hot and humid to enjoy. Being able to turn off the...

Sounds about right. We rode three times, so it would have been Alpha, Bravo, and Delta. Although Bravo was nice and loud, the music was still out of sync. I noticed the cracking speaker at the bottom of the shaft on Foxtrot side like you mentioned, and also noticed on Echo side, the "final word...

Do you remember which you rode? From left to right, they are Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta (really just A, B, C, D). And that's the thing, when I rode Delta the ride seemed nearly perfect. But then other lifts had multiple issues. The load lifts and pre-shows are very inconsistent but they...

First they didn't react to have it in the parks because they thought it would flop - mistake number 1. Then, they responded in a completely tactless way by going completely overboard. Enough is enough - at least make some attempt to mask what a cash grab this all is.

Here's what I consider the progression of WDW coasters from most tame to most intense: Barnstormer - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - Primeval Whirl - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - Space Mountain - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster/Expedition Everest (tie)

I visited DHS again for the first time in a while, might as well check in to my own thread! And my reasoning for continuing to bump this thread: I consider myself to have a keen eye for show quality, and I'm often critical of WDW's attractions and their many issues. That said, I have been...

We're all adults here, it's nothing worse than you see on TV or anywhere else. Or should we white-wash this site because its about Disney? And I think it should be here, maybe people will think twice before complaining about / berating a CM who is performing less than 100%, or doing something...

I like them both, the original loop has a more traditional, laid back sound and the 2004 loop has this street party / dance / modern feel to it, but I've always been impressed with how perfect the songs for both are.

This blog post is currently trending around Facebook, especially among my Cast Member friends. It was posted in Spirit's current thread, but it will soon get buried deep, and I feel that it deserves its own thread...

Thank you @marni1971 - very thorough! Agree with everything you said. The "neon" sign looks very good now, and I'm happy to see that the boiler room has been restored to dim lighting. The out of sync and/or too-quiet audio is I think what bugs me more than anything else because it would be...

It has been working every day since it was fixed months ago. And how the steam and waterfalls work basically every day also... Meanwhile! *animatronics consistently immobile on Splash Mountain* *Blackbeard projection and mermaids continue to be blurry and intermittent on Pirates* *burnt out...

Not just you. I've been paying close attention to ToT's show quality for a while. On a recent visit, the Foxtrot side (right side when facing the elevator shafts) overall looked and sounded pretty good. Echo side (left side) had several moments where the audio was barely audible or sounded...
