    News Unplanned ride system maintenance at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Disney's Hollywood Studios

    When they sawed open the wall, they found Rod Serling's frozen head, short circuiting the motors. How bizarre.

    What is going on with the WDW monorails?

    I agree that since the current trains are from the early 90s, that it is time to upgrade, although I'm not sure that company is still in business. And since it's a proprietary track and monorail system, they might be looking at prohibitively expensive to replace. But I'm not the expert on this...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I can just see guest relations having to explain to guests that some attractions are part of the $15 lightning lane and others are per-ride, and can only get one of one type at a time and two of the other type at a time, and....it will be too much for some people.

    News Gangway being prepped near to the Contemporary - second level access coming to the ferry boat?

    My concern looking at it is there is no railing on the ferry around the area where the gangway will lower and connect with the ferry. So people will be walking off the gangway to the second level of the ferry with a small area there where there is no railing. And we know what idiots the general...

    News 'Disney Enchantment' coming to Magic Kingdom October 1 2021

    Now I haven't seen it in person, but after watching the multiple camera angle 4K video that is out there of Enchantment, my opinion is that it is in between. It is better than HEA, which I wasn't fond of and thought it was too much Moana sing along and not enough fireworks, but it's not as good...

    MagicBand+ announced

    I agree, this looks like they originally planned to put an lcd screen on it and then that part got cut from the project. Could have been basically a parks smart watch.

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    I'm sorry, but a quick drive by of the characters is not the same as the 3 o'clock parade. This is the 50th anniversary, that's just sad. I don't care if they're claiming social distancing or what, a 50th anniversary deserves a lot more. Anybody remember the "Remember the Magic" parade for the...

    News Magic Kingdom's Main Street Confectionery closing for refurbishment

    I'm sorry but turn of the century candy shops did not have swoopy round and oval ceilings and spaces like that. It's like they're trying to make a weird combo of modern with slight old timey touches, which is just ridiculous.

    MVMCP to be Canceled

    Maybe we'll get Lights of Winter back? Wishful thinking.

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    Well at least it looks like he is still in one piece and could be reused with a new fur suit!

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    Well I hope they will at least reuse the Stitch animatronic, as that was the one piece of the attraction that a fair amount of money was spent on, and he was a fairly advanced animatronic.

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Closing WDW is on a whole other level than closing Disneyland. You've got 25,000 plus hotel rooms, many of which are booked for much longer stays. 2 week stays are common, and some longer. And a lot more international guests. It would probably take a week or more to empty out the hotels just to...

    How much would "The Iger Pass" cost?

    If the suite is available, yes. Although might have to book that in advance because of how many others might have the pass and waiting. I also meant to include that it should include Disney+ and include tickets to each new Disney movie at your preferred theater.

    How much would "The Iger Pass" cost?

    There really should be a card called the Key to Disney, which would include at least, but not limited to:. -admission to all parks around the world including several guests -X number of hotel nights per year at any Disney hotel around the world, including concierge, and can be traded for nights...

    News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

    This is what kind of clued me in eventually to the "other big board" that starts with "dis" being more than just fans discussing. You would be openly attacked by a certain gaggle of posters over there over anything negative to try to control the narrative about it, and got me to drift away from...

    News Walt Disney World theme park ticket price increases go into effect March 12 2019

    This is part of the situation- I used to work in an office where there were a fair number of people who made well into the six figures. The problem was, these people thought they were middle class. They only saw the .1% as wealthy or well off, and they spent most of what they made on keeping a...

    Points Reallocation for 2020

    The kerfuffle over on the other board is taking a turn in that someone found language in the contracts that seems to stipulate that disney cannot increase points for one type of vacation home by decreasing points in another. They are only supposed to increase or decrease by taking from another...

    Turning Down Housekeeping

    Are they still doing that even with the new security policy of needing to check your room daily? I thought that had gone away.

    Christmas Day at the Magic Kingdom

    I've been a few times on Christmas day. There is a special feeling about it, but yes you must go in with the right expectations. You will be able to use your fastpasses, and then everything else will have long long lines. The counter service restaurants will typically be about 45 minutes to...

    Flight of Passage, How Does it Rank at WDW in E-Tickets?

    That arm really looked like it was going to reach you as you went by when it was running, and really made the end more of an experience. It would be in the top 3 for sure if that was running, plus fixing bird on a stick to look more real, plus the mist at the cave entrances again would put it...
