    Stupid Myths and Rumors about DLR (and WDW)

    They cannot physically stop you from leaving. That much is true. But they can politely ask you to come with them. And some people choose to do so. It's not a "jail" per se, but they do have an area to talk to people about their stupid mistakes while deciding if they just get lifebanned, tossed...

    Why I think DCA did not have much of a California Theme to begin with

    DCA failed because it changed horses mid race. Superstar Limo got gutted due to the Princess Di tragedy, and it became a jumbled mess as things got plunked in Willy nilly (tot) with seemingly no real thought to aesthetics or flow. It could have been done right, but the rush to cash in on hot...

    News Ralph and Vanellope coming to Epcot's Innoventions and ImageWorks

    But it was somewhat scary. Something I think is sorely lacking these days. Yes, you have "thrills", but they seem to be missing the chills. The only place that seems to still be understood is in the shows.. Fantasmic and even HEA have villain scenes. It was a core tenet for Walt, but being the...

    News Ralph and Vanellope coming to Epcot's Innoventions and ImageWorks

    Communicore had a Pepper's Ghost leprechaun dancing around a computer system.. They could put the garbage truck from Innoventions in ImageWorks at this point, and it would be an improvement.

    Why I think DCA did not have much of a California Theme to begin with

    But why theme a park for California when the real thing is literally a shortish drive away? It and DHS were built on a nostalgia wave that never really materialized in pop culture. The biggest problem (Imo) is they didn't anticipate tech and it's affect on people. The explosion of computers and...

    News Ralph and Vanellope coming to Epcot's Innoventions and ImageWorks

    Imagination 1.0 actually had that dark side that made a classic Disney attraction classic. You probably couldn't build it today without the MomSquad complaining it's to scary for their kids. Shame, too, because it's sorely lacking in newer rides.

    Stupid Myths and Rumors about DLR (and WDW)

    That, "walt being frozen" and Leota's ball being carted off into some security vault every night are the most common and most ridiculous ones I've heard. (That said, it would not surprise me if that actually was a real skull. I've seen close up photos and have handled real skulls, and it looks a...

    Stupid Myths and Rumors about DLR (and WDW)

    Having spoken to one, I can confirm they exist. (My kid had picked up a toy, but then put it back down unnoticed, and I got to talk to a guy). There are also "secret doors" here and there, most can be seen if you pay attention, but they are just access to backstage, not direct to disneyjail...

    Stupid Myths and Rumors about DLR (and WDW)

    They do have undercover security. Not all CMs look like CMs. But they most certainly have loss prevention people.

    News Ralph and Vanellope coming to Epcot's Innoventions and ImageWorks

    It's Disney. If we get a WiR themed ride it will be for the tenth anniversary of the film. Like Ratatouille is such a current hot property.

    The same playground that was Sully and Mike a few years back for festival du jour?

    D23 Disneyland/DCA Predictions!

    As all of Walt's great features did. That's kinda the point behind fairy tales.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    From a business perspective, it's because the organization is so big, and budgets and concepts need to be approved so far ahead, they are really crystal balling a lot of this stuff. Trying to prognosticate the market and the industry.. and what the people will want years down the road. In a...

    Disney Is Reportedly Looking to Reboot Pirates of the Caribbean

    You have to look at merch and video sales too though. It's not as simple as "box office" when it's a Disney, who create artificial scarcity with their works ("going in the vault"), and will slap a logo on everything short of caskets (so far) from a successful brand.

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

    When did they change the "Dead men tell no tales" voice? It's the eerie echoey one that you hear in the cavern on the way in, IIRC. (The talking skull is not who I'm referring to).

    Any theories on why Disney poorly maintains many of their rides?

    I don't necessarily disagree with you. It's like TDO, instead of operating a lot of parks at the same time, juggles them. If one is getting attention, the others languish. I don't know if it's simply because the company is too large, and the beancounters too distant from the plant the beans grow...

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway - Disneyland

    Is he not still the Ghost Host? And the iconic "dead men tell no tales" was him, as well as the auctioneer.
