    What is Tiana's about.....

    😁 To be honest, I don't even remember noticing that any of the critters had instruments during the shrunken set.

    What is Tiana's about.....

    Aha, so the frogs were the musician(s) the gator was looking for? I finally read the WDWmagic writeup about the ride's story. Maybe we were in one of the boats where we didn't even hear lines that explained what was going on: All I know is I was scratching my head after the drop when we...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    I guess this may be a move by Disney Co to gain customer share from all the current "Sad Beige Baby" parents who may start taking their tykes to WDW within the next couple of years.

    What is Tiana's about.....

    This was our impression: Queue: we may be walking into a factory or restaurant, and then we are descending into an Avery Island-like salt mine Now suddenly outside of the salt mine into a loading dock area, we take a boat ride through a veggie garden. Maybe this is a tour of the island, the...

    Maybe it's inspired by the color palatte of Waianae tract homes, specifically the driveways and curbs.

    WDW Resort Gym Specs

    No equipment breakout, but scanning youtube to see if all WDW resort gyms have swapped out their equipment, it appears that the best gym on proprty, Saratoga Springs, has remained pretty unchanged. Cardio equipment all appears to be Technogym, but the weight machines remain LF. Video from June...

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    We went on property to have a meal at the Polynesian last week, and then took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian for some shopping and walked around a bit. 😵‍💫 😬 🥺 😖 I feel bad for whoever is employed by the Disney Weddings department. That hulking eyesore has got to be hurting sales...

    Same. Plus the succession of Bob, then another Bob, then Bob again really made me stop caring.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    That first tweet, specifically "This is an unacceptable embarrassment as show and it is a waste of investment capital for #TWDC" is on the money. On a totally unrelated note, OLLI, Ollie's Bargain Outlet, has been trading above DIS for almost a week straight.

    Naw, the block architecture and drab coloring looks more like the correctional facility in Halawa.

    EPCOT Morocco Pavilion redevelopment

    Mall Tile - you're right on the money :D Given how consistently Tangierine Cafe has shrunken its menu and slouched into oblivion over the years, maybe Disney Corporate is just retiling to prepare to stick an Auntie Anne's Pretzels in there. IIRC, the tile work would go far better with Auntie...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    That's really bad. It's kind of mindboggling that they keep it running in that state instead of turning off the embedded lights completely.

    Is there a way to walk to the Polynesian from the Grand Floridian at the moment? Or do guests have to hoof it along Floridian Way?

    News New Polynesian Resort DVC villas building to open 2024

    Am I reading this right? The Polyday Inn doesn't add any dining options to the resort? I guess that probably answers the unanswered question I've posted in this thread a few times before as to whether or not this monstrosity will give the Polynesian Resort its own gym space or if Grand...

    EPCOT Morocco Pavilion redevelopment

    What was lost: Every time you think Disney Co can't possibly get any lazier, cheaper, or cheapen their product even more.... they sure surprise you.

    MK Frontierland Shootin' arcade to close and replaced with DVC Member lounge

    I have many fond memories of the shooting gallery as a child in Disneyland, and then later at Disney World. Shooting with my parents, having competitions with my brothers. We still talk about it if we go out shooting silhouettes at the range. This removal and replacement is so flipping lame and...
