    Fondest WDW memory from your childhood

    I'm not even sure how many of my childhood memories are even real anymore…'78-'79 I remember topiaries in the seven seas lagoon; an observation area where you could watch the rockets race and the "chocolate chip cookies" (so I was told) cruise across the ceiling of Space Mountain; truly...

    Star Wars Launch Bay coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios later this year

    We got to go today, and for a Star Wars family it was great. It was hard looking at the video games and Chase meet and greet where the drawing class used to be, but my 17 year old was so excited to get her picture taken with a Jawa that it eased the pain.

    New Destinations coming to Star Tours

    I'm just going on what is already on the ride, Imperial speeder bikes. It would be cool to see one of the heroes zoom by for a few seconds and take out a trooper. If Boba Fett can set off sonic bombs outside the Death Star, Luke or Leia should be able to travel to Kashyyyk. I don't think of it...

    New Destinations coming to Star Tours

    I'd like to think yes! I wonder what/where they could modify scenes in Hoth, Tatooine, and Kashyyyk? Maybe a quick view of a Wampa as you slide down the hill on Hoth, Crashing through a pit droid at the finish line at Tatooine, and Luke or Leia showing up on a speeder bike on Kashyyyk.

    New Destinations coming to Star Tours

    It makes sense that they would use Jakku. This is one part of the film that was most likely done completely in CGI. I'm sure it made the transfer easier.

    Star Wars Weekends discontinued at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I was hoping for one more year… I really am going to miss the parade, autographs, and interviews with the casts. Does this also mean we will no longer see Chip and Dale dressed as Ewoks, or Jedi Mickey?

    Major 2015 Pirates of the Caribbean Refurbishment Watch/Rumor.

    Is the board still in place at the bottom of the drop? (Anyone else notice that in the months before it closed, or was I seeing things?) I thought it was there to keep the boats drier until this refurb, but it sounds like the water in the boats aspect wasn't addressed.

    Star Wars weekends going away?

    Season of the force is, at least to my knowledge, not going to feature autographs and presentations from actors from the Star Wars movies and TV shows. That aspect alone packs crowds into HS for Star Wars Weekends. Star Tours, Rockin', ToT, watching Frank Oz speak, getting an autograph from...

    Jedi Training Academy to close to reopen later this year as 'Jedi Training - Trials of the Temple'

    I am optimistically excited. My son just turned 11, but loves Rebels and had already battled Darth Vader and Darth Maul. This may give him one more chance to go on stage, saber to saber, with a baddie. (And just as importantly, an opportunity for his dad to cheer him on from the railing one last...

    Post Something You Miss

    I really miss the theming from the Living Seas. It really felt like you had been taken to the ocean floor and were in an amazing place. The aquarium is still cool, but something left for me when you stopped having to ride the "elevators" to get to Sea Base Alpha. I wish my kids could have shared...

    New Destinations coming to Star Tours

    It wouldn't take as much as you think over the next few years to get the possibilities into the 1,000's. If one new scene and character was added to each segment for each movie VII, VIII, IX, there could be over 1,000 combinations. 5 intros X 6 first scenes X 6 holograms X 6 end scenes = 1,080...

    New Destinations coming to Star Tours

    Do you think this will just be a third Intro (Kylo Ren along with Vader and the Falcon)? That would make it 3 intros, 3 first planets, 3 hero projection transitions, and 3 endings(81 combinations). Or would they add a planet and ending making it 2-4-3-4 (96 combinations)?

    DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Flying the Falcon! I am almost OK that most of DHS is closed down now.

    Lack of Attention to Wait Times?

    This has been the biggest change to the parks since the app came out. It seems to me that many people are glued to their phones and think they are "beating the system" if the phone says a wait is "short". Just like Tom said, that is what the wait time WAS, you needed to be there then. I tend to...

    Swiss Family Treehouse closing for 10 week refurbishment in July 2016

    I heard they are using the time to build a second set of Fastpass+ stairs, complete with Sherpas to carry the unmotivated!

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I bet the view from the lift hill of EE of the show will be amazing as well. That MIGHT be the only scenario that would not completely freak me out if the train got stuck on the lift.

    Update to Disney's PhotoPass site adds copy protection watermarks over images

    I can't say I am surprised by this, but it is a little disappointing. I always hoped/thought Disney knew that by not watermarking the prints, they were getting millions of dollars worth of free advertising from Facebook pictures alone. I almost always "borrowed" a pic or two as a memory of a fun...
