    The Great Movie ride vs Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway poll

    Echoing some previous statements, I would have liked to have seen GMR stay where it was and MMRR move into Animation Courtyard. I have no clue if that was even plausible, but to the untrained eye it looked like it could have been done. I've yet to get down and ride MMRR, so I can't comment on...

    Favourite Quiet Seating Area

    MK: Main Street Train Station (otherwise, monorail to Tambu Lounge) Epcot - Grab a beer at Rose & Crown and the head to the island between UK and France DHS - Grab a beer at Tune-In Lounge and then a bench around Echo Lake DAK - Dawa Bar Not all are necessarily "quiet", but all are super...

    When Did WDW Become An Extended Vacation Destination?

    Due to the way our work travel was setup, my wife and I would always take advantage of our alternate travel, and we'd always arrive on Thursday evening and stay until the following Sunday. So, it seems like we're on par with a lot of other folks in this thread, where 10 days is the sweet spot...

    Pros/cons Swan & Dolphin

    As Marriott people, the S&D are me and my wife's top choice. You cannot really beat the location (I prefer Crescent Lake to Monorail Loop), as you're an easy walk to Epcot (can boat, but might take a little longer) and a quick boat ride to DHS (can walk as well, but it's a bit more of hike). As...

    Favorite Land in the Magic Kingdom

    As a 30 year old without kids (one on the way though!), my wife and I didn’t spend too much time in Fantasyland. However, I agree that there’s something about it at night too. We’d always try to time it up, so that we could walk through it, while nearly empty, at the end of the night (go from...

    Favorite Land in the Magic Kingdom

    Full transparency: I voted Main Street (night), Tommorowland (night), and Adventureland (day). I’d agree that the park is best after the sun goes down, and while I love how dark it gets in Frontierland and Adventureland at night, there’s just something about Adventureland first thing in the...

    Favorite Land in the Magic Kingdom

    As everyone knows, the parks take on a new life after the sun goes down. However, it is my belief that some parks and some lands play better in the daylight, while others shine in the night. You're allowed up to 3 selections *Poll would only allow 10 selections, so I apologize for grouping...

    Iconic Attractions

    For the company as a whole, it has to be Pirates of the Caribbean. Not only is it a fan favorite attraction, but it essentially allowed the company to print money at the box office.

    What will you appreciate more about WDW after the pandemic?

    Wife and I are Marriott people, so we would always stay at the Swan and Dolphin. However, for our last trip, we didn't feel like using points or paying the rate, so we ended up at French Quarter. While I missed the Crescent Lake area (I love walking around an empty World Showcase and then slowly...

    What will you appreciate more about WDW after the pandemic?

    Not so much anything in or at WDW in particular, because I've always been a more "slow it down and take it all in" guy anyway, whereas my wife is way more like how you described yourself. What I'll really appreciate is that I had/have the means, despite living in Pittsburgh, to visit WDW...

    Could Toy Story Land get an expansion or a additional ride?

    Was just talking about this last week, but again, Universal did it right with Wizarding World of Harry Potter. When you're in Diagon Alley and you ride "Escape from Gringott's", you're technically there on the same day that the Trio is robbing Bellatrix's vault (Deathly Hallows; Year 7)...

    My Love of the Parks is Dwindling. Not sure what to do.

    I think of WDW as a toned down, PG version of Las Vegas. The parks (casinos), specifically the rides (tables), are the main draw for most people, but not for me. Don't get me wrong, I love the rides (and the tables...actually, sportsbook for me), but the ambiance is what I enjoy the most. I'm...

    What’s next for Animal Kingdom?

    Again, I have no idea to the plausibility of it all, but I always thought it'd be kind of cool to re-purpose the train as a means of transportation between Animal Kingdom and Animal Kingdom Lodge. That might be pie-in-the-sky, but I've always felt that resort deserved a very unique mode of...

    What’s next for Animal Kingdom?

    With them being dead set on IP integration, feels like turning Dinoland into Oceania would make the most sense, if they want to keep the Nemo musical around. My question is, not if they will, but could they add another land where Rafiki's is and north of Kali?

    Controversial/ Unpopular theme park opinions

    Wife and I went to the Maldives last June, with "long layovers" in both Paris and Tokyo. She had been to both for work before, but it was my first time outside of North America (and Caribbean). We ended up deciding against DLP, since our thought was that it'd be much easier to get back there...

    Controversial/ Unpopular theme park opinions

    I have a feeling that they're going to extend the London area and turn the Fear Factor area into the Ministry of Magic.

    Controversial/ Unpopular theme park opinions

    I say that as a complete and total Disney World apologist too. Despite the current conditions, I still love and adore WDW, mostly because of the fact that it offers escapism in a bubble and first-class nostalgia. However, while I'll take it over Universal (even when Epic opens), there isn't a...

    Controversial/ Unpopular theme park opinions

    Wizarding World of Harry Potter, specifically Diagon Alley, knocked it out of the park (no pun intended). Disney, however, has dropped the ball on all of their themed lands. I don't find them immersive at all, where when I'm in Diagon Alley or Hogsmeade I actually feel like I've been transported...
