    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    This is a tragedy, one that is unimaginably horrible to even contemplate, that no one person or party is responsible for, neither the victim and his family nor Disney. It's a freak incident, the first time anything like this has happened in nearly half a century of the resort being open. There...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    A British reporter at the scene is saying on breakfast television here in the UK that going into the lagoon is encouraged, that "it's Florida, it's part of the reason why tourists come here". Just goes to show how misinformed and unbelievably stupid some sections of the news can be.

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    They don't allow wading, I've stayed in two resorts with access to a lake or lagoon and was told both times at check-in that entering into the water is strictly prohibited. I was at the Grand Floridian a month ago, I stood pretty much where this incident happened and witnessed two CM's who...

    From the OS: Gator drags child into Seven Seas Lagoon

    Seriously, what is wrong with you? This a terrible, an unimaginably horrific incident and you want to use it to take pot shots at Disney and make snide posts like this? A 2-year-old child is very likely dead and you take the time to post something like this? Who cares about Shanghai...

    News New security measures

    Let's just hope that that remains the case. The increase in security was so noticeable when I was at WDW last month that it was almost unnerving, in twenty years of visitng the resort I've never seen so many police officers at the parks let alone the number of Disney security personnel that...

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    Just such a needless and senseless tragedy. It's impossible not to despair of the world we live in when things like this happen, when fifty innocent people can go to a club to enjoy their Saturday night and never go home. It's desperately sad. My thoughts are with all those involved and their...

    Iger out in 2018

    Eisner leaving was 100% the best thing for the company at that time. No matter what is happening now or has happened since, it was not a mistake to remove him from his position. Iger leaving will be the best thing for the company if/when he does go in 2018. I don't hate the man, I like some...

    I wouldn't be too quick to call bull on anything in that article.

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    If you know anything about Star Wars then you know that merchandising concerns have impacted creative decisions taken during production of the films for decades. You act like Disney are ruining the franchise when if you removed your tin foil hat for just a moment and looked back at how these...

    A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

    It's not surprising, not when you consider that only a few months ago there was an online campaign to boycott The Force Awakens because of the skin colour of one of the main characters. Some prejudices will just never be eradicated, society just isn't that progressive. It's sad, desperately...

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Completely disagree but to each their own.

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    I completely disagree but then I don't regard it as one of the "post-Walt" films given how involved he was in pretty much every aspect of it; he threw out Bill Peet's initial story treatment, threw out all of the music that had been written save for "The Bare Necessities", told his story team...

    Jungle Cruise movie

    Now that's a classic. I remember there were rumours that Disney wanted to remake it with Will Smith and his family...just typing that sends a shiver down my spine.

    Iger mentions plans for EPCOT

    You're not a realist, you're a delusional fantasist who doesn't even go to the parks.

    Iger mentions plans for EPCOT

    The only thing true in this sentence are the least three letters. No, you don't know, you truly have no clue what you're talking about. You don't visit WDW and you certainly aren't the font of all knowledge that you so smugly portray yourself as. You're either completely deslusional or you're...

    The Spirited 11th Hour ...

    Rogue One looks great. One familiar face from the original trilogy is in the teaser as well as several other iconic throwbacks and additions from the EU. And there's plenty more of them to come if some of the rumours regarding the film are correct. I loved the choice of director and its been...

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Did he? First I've heard of that, Abrams was on the shortlist pretty much from the get-go but I've never heard or read anywhere that he got the job because Spielberg lobbied for it. Was this before or after Abrams first turned Lucasfilm down?

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    Is this guesswork/an assumption or can it be verified? Any sources?

    Staggs resigns

    Colour me surprised but pleased about this development. Vaughn and Rasulo gone, Staggs now following...the creative brain drain are finally being ousted. Now let's see who does get the nod to succeed Iger when he too, finally and blessedly, clears off.

    Marvel coming to WDW?!?!

    I've been sharpening my pitchfork for a while for various reasons, the recent cuts being a particularly big one; I'm waiting for something to happen that gives me reason to light the torch. This would be that something. If it doesn't happen I'll be absolutely delighted. That it is even being...
