    Too crowded!!

    I think in this day and age, there's really no excuse any more for not knowing the holidays are going to be OMG crazy busy. A quick 15-second Google search will definitely let that cat out of the bag. Considering how much money it costs to visit Disney for even a day, I can't imagine doing a...

    Will Disney Quest get stars wars battle pod

    I saw the jet fighter version of this at Pixel Play Arcade at DAAR last night. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if these pods make it to DisneyQuest at some point. How long, well, that's the question.

    Kids on Walt's statue

    Absolutely, except previously we could feign ignorance, now our silence simply affirms acceptance. I think there is lowering of standards, I would consider it an evolution of disrespect. Each generation rebels from the rules and standards of their predecessors. This is not always a bad thing...

    A Redistribution of [Wealth] Fastpass+

    While I would never say an MBA is useless or unnecessary, I do wonder the value of the education being imparted in the course of earning such a degree. Looking at business practices today and how unethical and inhumane they are and are becoming, I have no choice but to direct my concern at the...

    Kids on Walt's statue

    Magic Kingdom is NOT a kids theme park, despite the latest Disney's leadership insistence. To call it as such contributes to the gross misconception that feeds many of the problems WDW has these days. It is a family park, built to entertain all members of the family. I wish Disney would remember...

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I'll admit, I had the same reservations as you, and it is undoubtedly a very tight path as far as theme parks go. That being said, I think the designers have cleverly mitigated much of the possible trouble with the inclusion of Knockturn Alley and, I believe Horizont? Alley. The branches of...

    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    I agree completely. WDI is not giving in kind for what they receive. Every designer received obstructions of all types, including financial. The trick is to be creative and to wow with what you have. Expensive does knot equal quality, creative vision and skillful execution does. WDI needs an...

    Backlot Tour Closing?

    That's actually fairly normal, that attraction's schedule only normally gets posted out a few weeks at a time. I think you're reading way to much into it. A lot of the attractions that close around sunset only have schedules a few weeks out at a time, nothing unusual. For example, check out...

    Sentinel reports that MyMagic+ executive vice president Nick Franklin will be leaving in July

    The wait times are directly from the tip board system, what it says, the app says, so when that's wrong, it really isn't the app's fault. I know enough about the character meet times to know that the only time the app would be wrong is if the character peeps change their sets on the same day...

    Sentinel reports that MyMagic+ executive vice president Nick Franklin will be leaving in July

    What information are you finding to be wrong? When I visit the parks, I find the info in the app to be a lot more accurate than the non-Disney apps.

    Festival of the Lion King closes January 5th

    I agree that the ride couldn't be "Mystic Manor" itself, but I honestly see so many parallels between Mystic Manor and Journey that almost I believe the very concept started as a possible redo of the Imagination pavilion. You have the professor-ish dreamfinder-like character and the curious...

    Festival of the Lion King closes January 5th

    I firmly believe Mystic Manor belongs at Epcot, albeit in a revised form. A certain purple dragon could take the place of a certain curious monkey. That way, HK technically gets to keep its unique attraction, and can share the wealth. Just my opinion...

    DAS opinion as its almost 6 months in full effect

    I find it interesting reading both sides of the issue, and to be brutally honest, I think an argument loses credibility once the whole "I'd gladly trade the GAC/DAS to have a normal life or normal healthy kids etc.." line gets thrown out there. The hard truth is, there is no such thing as...

    Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom?

    Heck, if that's what it takes to get attractions to Epcot, I'd take most of 'em. I think Aladdin and Lady and the Tramp is pushing it, but I don't think just because something is animated, doesn't make it a valid representative story of a country. I love Epcot, love EPCOT Center even more, but I...

    Voices of Liberty to become latest cut?

    I don't honestly believe they are going anywhere. It appears they are off a few days next week, and I've noticed that they had a schedule very similar to this during the same week last year. My guess is rehearsals or training.

    Workers want pay boost

    You've hit the nail on the head of exactly the trouble I ran and am still running into! Congrats! See, I realized right away that the architecture market was poor, so I opened myself up to any possibility. The problem, as I've stated previously is that a business has no reason to hire someone...

    Workers want pay boost

    Unfortunately, I guess my other mistake was not being clairvoyant. When I started my field of study, there actually was a market for folks with my expertise. However, right upon graduation (2008), the economy tanked and the market for folks with architecture degrees dried up. Also, i do make...

    Workers want pay boost

    I get the point you're trying to make, but the world is changing, and many of those things you list went from being a luxury to being a necessity. I would certainly agree with any kind of television access, except basic antenna for safety purposes. However internet access, for one, is, by many...

    Ticket Price Increase - Feb 2014

    Not sure why, but the first thought that came to my mind when i saw this is maybe this is Disney's way of getting Universal to be the first one to cross the 100 dollar barrier. Seems like that was the limit no one wanted to be the first to go over (granted, after tax it's already happened, but...

    The Spirited Sixth Sense ...

    That would make me think it's primarily locals though, probably because the annual pass is such an amazing value. I was just there on Wednesday, didn't wait more than 5 mins for anything.
