yeah, even with the DOW down 4% for the year, Disney is off by nearly 30%. I think reality is sinking in on streaming services and the cows are headed home. Only consolation is they're not Netflix!

Interesting tie-in for WS.

Wow. Thanks for the first-hand report. The Tampa article kinda downplayed the opening day issues. Mainly reported people complaining about not getting to participate in the opening-day ceremonies. Of course, they weren't interviewing any youngsters!

Do you know of any contemporary reviews of EPCoT from 1982? I searched and only found a Tampa newspaper article... Always interested in hearing first hand accounts of openings to see how they match my perspective.

I'm pushing it because you know that it's not the same as it was even in the 80's. There was sailing and people playing in the water back then. It was noisy during the day. There were more of the small water craft on the lake, including sailboats and water skiing. I believe you said you were...

Strangely, there was no fencing for more than 25 years. Yet, no children were harmed. Why was that? I would argue that removing water sports from the lake did the most harm in making this place unsafe for children. Alligators are not fond of turbulent water. Making the lake quieter made it...

I've been watching for this tipping point for more than 5 years now. I'm amazed that we still haven't hit it...

Woah... which is the real Ellen?

OK. I just scrolled up to look at the signs. They're not even Polynesian themed. I can't believe it! That must mean they're not really for the DVC tower. River Country rebuild confirmed!

So, they're Peruvian Minions? oh, MINOANS.... Nevermind.

Oh, and don't forget about the stings when it gets in those small cuts on your fingers. Gotta love that!

Then, I get an extra helping of outrage for the Poly DVC tower. How's the groundbreaking going?

No theming. Meh. I really liked the one at AK. The jokes and site gags on the ride were really good. I never had a problem with whiplash, myself. And, I'm a whip when it comes to roller coasters.

I think the critics on here wanted to visit Tatooine and Mos Eisley. They wanted to see C3PO, R2D2 and Darth Vader. They never heard of "Black Spire Outpost" or Batuu. It would be like visiting Harry Potter Land and not seeing Hogsmead or Diagon Alley. Also, the land is dead; where are the...

Good idea. But, it's missing the theming of the original. Loved all the sight gags in it.

Got any research to back that up? There was always a line when we went...

Oh, Come on! You know that's not what I was doing at all. Stop with the faux outrage.

You do know that there was water sports in the lake for over twenty years, don't you? The incident you're talking about is due to lax Disney maintenance of the property. The removal of water activities from the lake also makes the water quiet and more attractive to aligators. Regardless, it's a...

Those two coasters were my kids' first coaster. I remember how much they LOVED them. Even 17 years later, they insisted on riding them. They talked about them the whole trip, comparing them to other rides. Never underestimate the importance of "lame" coasters to kids. I gotta admit, I really...

there may be cost savings. But, I'd say the conversion lose a lot of interest by fans. The sounds and smells of a traditional locomotive is unmistakable. The only thing missing on WDWRR is genuine coal burning like they are at Dollywood. But, you've got to cut them some slack; WDWRR was never...
