    Whats left of Chaepek ?

    Just some bones, bleaching in the sun. Not even a carcass is left.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Trying new things is great, but the implementation displayed an audacious lack of perspective. Had they built a Star Wars Hotel such that it was actually connected to/built into Galaxy's Edge they could have kept a lot of the story and LARPing features but also made some of it somewhat more...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    This is exactly what I'm expecting. Pre-booking will likely be something like 24 hours in advance and limited to one selection. And all for an additional fee.

    State Senator proposes bill to move WDW to North Carolina (no joke!)

    You're Always a Weiner at Pedro's! You Never Sausage A Place! Place is nasty - billboards are first class.

    News Star Tours to be updated with new adventures in 2024 at Walt Disney World

    Disney will think they have cracked the issues with the first iteration by replacing the Hondo animatronic with an Alden Ehrenreich version of Han Solo and by placing a Porg animatronic front and center between the pilot and co-pilot controls. The mission will now be mining gas from Bespin, so...

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    Just wanted to share some observations from a handful of rides last week: On our first ride the full ITS was functional but was missing the light saber in the elevator, cannon movement (obviously), and had B-mode Kylo at the end. Pretty lame. During subsequent rides elevator saber was clearly...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    A few random thoughts from my visit last Friday (nothing particularly groundbreaking): - Edifice is very stark/kinda plain during the day. Extremely impressive at night. - A shame that it's sort of hidden from so many angles given its location. Clearly shoehorned in. - Loved the pre-show...

    News Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closing for refurbishment in February 2023

    And I want Dream Theater. But Disney probably wouldn't be willing to make it a 10+ minute ride...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    You're certainly more clued in than I could ever be, but I thought I had heard/read/made up out of whole cloth that the ride was seated but configured such that it appeared you were with a small group in a Quinjet cabin - early in the ride experience the Quinjet gets blasted apart and the cabin...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    "A man can be an artist... in anything...food...whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasy's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."

    Orlando Becoming East Coast Headquarters for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products

    You'll notice these large tech company layoff announcements are being fairly non-specific about the types of roles being shed - but some have specified they are "global" reductions in force, so possibly not even US-based.

    EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Standby Line and Lightning Lane status

    Just to clarify: You can only join the AM virtual queue if you have an Epcot park pass reservation? If you have a park hopper ticket and a park pass for any other park, your only option is the PM virtual queue (which likely will be full by 2pm) or ILL, correct?

    Potential updates to Avatar Flight of Passage

    With the Avatar train chugging full steam ahead, I'll humbly suggest the following additions: - NRJ could use two full size animal animatronics. - A walk-through with additional animal animatronics. - And the big score: a new E-ticket "Way of Water" themed ride using the Shanghai Pirates ride...

    News Disney After Hours at Walt Disney World

    Do we have any feel/guesstimate as to how many tickets comprises an After Hours sell out?

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    They, quite literally, had the most obvious guardrails mapped out for them to craft a new story around... - "Once more unto the breach, dear friends...", and of course not all of them would make it out alive. - Then weave in the new generation of characters in a way that provides them with...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Spring Break season should start in earnest the middle of March (probably 3/11 as a soft start) and will go through the middle of April (4/16 being the Sunday after Easter). Seems odd to me that they'd open any date in that time range with Spring Break crowds on top of them whilst trying to...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I find it impossible to be upset over "ruining" the BLT/Contemporary view - because it has always sucked. It's a parking lot view with the back of a theme park waaaaay behind it. Most disappointing "theme park" view imaginable.

    News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Spot on. NRJ would be greatly improved with a couple full scale AA animals (and would be a legitimately solid attraction with those and if it was just a little bit longer with a Pirates style drop). Oh well.
