    News Exterior refurbishment is underway at The Land pavilion in EPCOT

    As I was spending my Christmas Eve reading up on the latest innovations in high-tech agriculture, I stumbled upon this gem. The world's first vertical strawberry farm in Richmond, VA. Straight out of LwtL. Major steps towards better, sustainable and affordable food production free of...

    Rank the 10 boat rides at Walt Disney World

    Never enough boat rides! 1 LwtL - classic EPCOT fare, and thus wins by default 2 Jungle Cruise - I would love this even without a skipper. Comedy skippers are really just the first 'Under New Management' overlay of any Disney attraction. 3 Riverboat. Sublime classic Disney. A gorgeous homage to...

    Wishes or HEA fireworks shows?

    HEA was a good show, one can't argue with its production values. But it never really transported me. Projections just lack the sheer primeval impact that the thunder and lighting of pyro has. Wishes all the way for me. A bit saccharine and in-your-face-Disney, but I'm a sentimental slob so...

    A little piece of EPCOT Center history is found

    Oh, you never had that? Here, let me give you a link to this corporate event sponsored, professional full show video of 'A New World Fantas Click to expand...

    HELP planning!!! I'm starting to get put off by TD and my head is exploding!

    The crowds at Springs mean less crowds elsewhere. It is a large resort to explore for first timers, three days barely suffice to see non-Springs TDR. So it could be argued now is a great time, a DL GE effect.

    Rivers of America...once and done or every visit?

    Oh my.... :lookarou Yes, ten years ago as much as now I'll take any square foot of the River over all of Cars Land.

    Is Phase 2 of Pandora: The World of Avatar ever coming to Animal Kingdom?

    Are there no advocates for re-doing DAK as a full night time park? To reverse the order. Currently there is no nighttime entertainment because there are no guests. Is there nobody who would argue that with a great evening line-up there would be? For a brief while, 2017-2019, DAK was so suberb...

    Is Phase 2 of Pandora: The World of Avatar ever coming to Animal Kingdom?

    We jest, but all our sarcastic jokes are reality a decade later. There is no place in current Disney for Kilimanjaro Safari. Safe for an angle whereby it survives out of representational value.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    They are spending billions to solve the ugliness of WDSP by building a large tranquil water so it looks more like a classic Disney park, while removing it in the MK so it will more resemble WDSP/Disney Adventure Park.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The worst decision in the history of the MK

    Sweat The Small Stuff (When you are running a theme park)

    Tokyo DL is open all year too and draws similar crowds. Yet somehow everything is spotless, fresh and impeccably operated.

    Animal Kingdom vs California Adventure

    Not so fast... After those first two D Tickets there is not a single great DCA ride on your list, at best a few ok ones. So that's seven good rides. DAK has 4 to 6. Plus you omitted the two superb animal trails - just because you move with legs instead of a vehicle doesn't mean it's not an...

    Animal Kingdom vs California Adventure

    DAK is a flawed, under invested but superb masterpiece. DCA a charmless, jumbled mess interspersed with a few great areas. Rides are a closer contest. I might give DCA the edge here.

    Anyone know about a unbuilt mad house styled ride for sea named "Manhattan Midway Mania"

    SEA to me is a place inhabited by humans. A cartoon land feels unfitting. So even ocean toons, such as Ariel. That FS is, and had to be, its 'own thing' is a sign of weakness, not of strength. The whole of a theme park ought to be greater than the sum of its parts, with individual aspects all...

    What do men like most@MK? Husband coming for 1st visit.

    Classic MK was built by middle aged men for middle aged men. If he's a man who's kept a certain innocence of mind somewhere deep down and is of agreeable character, he'll be like a fish in water when walking down Main Street, gazing up the princess castle. Don't worry about finding guy stuff to...

    Left Or Right?

    Japan drives on the left, as does Hong Kong. 40% of castle parks are in left-driving countries! Tokyo's MS shops are very dissimilar to US ones. Endles candy. But yes, sure enough the first shop on your left on entering Tokyo MS is the biggest candy shop in the park. Meanwhile the Empirium...

    When did Disney start overpromising and under delivering?

    That started in 1971. Or 1966 if you wish. Still waiting for that Asian and Persian resort. And Thunder Mesa. Never mind that city.

    Left Or Right?

    I enter through the hole in the fence near the CM entrance, at the back of the park.

    Can We Limit The Size of a Backpack

    If it's not crowded, you're too close to me if my bag hits you. If it is crowded, I move my backpack to my chest or hold it in my hand. Who carries around a huge bag in 100° though? Did that suddenly become a thing?
