    Not huge but IT exec stolen from Disney to Sea World

    I doubt she left Disney for Sea World because there was something about the project she didn't like. No matter how you slice it, moving into a CIO position is a huge step up. I don't care if she went from Disney to Sea World, it's still a big promotion to finally be the person in charge...

    Not huge but IT exec stolen from Disney to Sea World

    There's nothing low about it. Sea World needed a new person to fill the role, she applied and was hired. She cannot leak any of the information she knows about the new program and Sea World knows that. They didn't hire her to steal the information from Disney. If she did leak it, and they...

    EPCOT Italy pizzeria name revealed!

    I don't think that's a proposed menu, just one someone found from another Patina group restaurant. My guess is the only thing served will be pizza, but I wouldn't be surprised at 30 dollar pies. This is Disney after all.

    Staying at a Downtown Disney Hotel question

    I'm contemplating booking a stay at one of the hotels at Downtown Disney. I know they have many of the same benefits as onsite hotels like extra magic hours, etc... Do they also allow for free parking at the parks like staying at a resort hotel would or is that an extra cost like it would be...

    The Story of the Triangles

    Maybe they were supposed to burst into energy, but that's never really happened. Instead I guess the triangles represent good ideas just barely hanging outside our field of vision, or outside of our reach. In that case, I think they're a perfect fit for the end of SSE.

    Dinosaur / Countdown to Extinction

    It does seem to me that the major change has been to darken the attraction. It was so dark when I rode it last Saturday that I could barely see the dinosaurs. Maybe I'm wrong, but I distinctly remember the ride being a lot brighter years ago. I'm wondering if its been darkened to hide some...

    Animal Kingdom Entrance

    I know most people here will disagree with me, but for some reason DAK really doesn't do anything for me as a park. We visited again this past weekend and took my son for the first time. I thought that maybe with him along that we'd have a different view. I didn't. I really don't have a huge...

    EPCOT Geodesic Dome

    Taking that wand down may have been one of the greatest days I've experienced in the last few years. Getting married and the birth of my son trump it, but it comes in third. Removing the hat and revitalizing DHS will be another.

    Okay dumb question, but who is at the top of Disney now?

    The book Disneywar is really a fantastic read. It, in my opinion, paints a full picture of who Eisner was. He was responsible for saving the company. Had he not been successful, then Comcast would probably own the Disney company now and very few of us would be interested anymore. Eisner was...

    Suite in Cinderella's castle?

    There's a person on staff all night long who is able to get you things like that if they're needed.

    Disney denies fault in monorail crash

    agreed, their lawyers are probably swinging for the fences with some huge demand compensation that Disney isn't willing to pay and will not be forced to pay. I also think that's a strategic move by the plaintiffs. I think eventually Disney will agree to settle for a much smaller amount, will...

    Yeti been switched out for repair? Something new in the cave

    I rode this Saturday, and while I don't ride it all the time it did appear to be the same yeti with a strobe light. The lighting seemed different though which kept you from seeing the yeti even more than normal. The result is still very disappointing after they hyped the yeti so much.

    The new TTA is just plain annoying now. Another ruined ride.

    You're not going back far enough in your memories. Search online and find the videos of Orac-1 and Jack Wagner. What we have now is like a melded version of those two narrations. I grew up on those and always hated the 94 version. I think those of you who are so upset about this recent...

    The new TTA is just plain annoying now. Another ruined ride.

    I actually prefer the new version. I hated the "NOW APPROACHING" spiel. The current version is much closer to the original versions of the peoplemover. The ride was initially a tour of tomorrowland and this version brings that back. I do agree that the script needs a bit of work as well as...

    Rip, Ride capacity update?

    My opinion still stands that this is the worst attraction blunder of all time, and this counts the imagination issues at Epcot.

    Studio Backlot Tour refurbishment update

    I really would like to see the backlot tour stay, but become a special effects tour. My proposal would be to keep the water show, but update it completely maybe to be a pirates of the Caribbean stunt/special effects show instead of the old Pearl Harbor show its themed around now. Then move on...

    Why is Ariel's Adventure ride an e-ticket?

    Pirates and Haunted Mansion are both considered E-Tickets, while some E-tickets are thrilling, thrill doesn't make one an E-ticket nor lack of thrill.

    Tomorrowland Speedway Update

    I always hated this ride until my last trip. Took my 2 1/2 year old son on it for the first time a few weeks ago and the smile on his face was fantastic. We had to ride it several times.

    What is your opinion individually on Roy Disney, Roy Disney Jr. and Michael Eisner?

    It wasn't just Wells, I'm convinced Katzenberg, no matter how much of a jerk he is, was just as important in revitalizing Disney as Wells or Eisner. It was Katzenberg who led those huge animation hits of that era. He and Eisner never got along, but you have to give him some credit as well...
