    What has happened to the place we (used to) love?

    Like WDW from 1971 to around 2010? ;)

    Disney CMs calling guests " Friends"?

    The proper response to any park employee calling you friend is, "I ain't your friend, pal."

    Resort amenities fee

    Interesting. Is that why the Marriott hotels are some of the only hotels in Waikiki for which you don't have to dig around for 30 minutes to determine all of the high tack-on fees?

    What has happened to the place we (used to) love?

    I haven't been here in over a month because I really have nothing to add and after over 40 years of regularly going to Disneyland and WDW, I'm kind of over anything related to WDW or the parent company at this point. Came in to see the scuttlebutt here because WDW related content still pops up...

    News Disney KiteTails coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom October 1

    1) Have you used their toilet paper? 🤣 I don't know where they sourced 0.10 ply toilet paper, but hats off to them. And to the manufacturer for mass producing sheets of paper at a near quantum scale. 2) What's this about special imprinted Grand Floridian toilet paper?

    What has happened to the place we (used to) love?

    Every time I see an image or footage of what they did with the Contemporary and Polynesian rooms, I can't help but laugh. It's a mournful laugh, but still a deep belly laugh.

    What has happened to the place we (used to) love?

    This site really needs to add a "100" reaction option.

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    Nice. I wonder if I saw them back in Disneyland. It's cool info like this that keeps me coming back here, despite having no desire to go to a Disney park that isn't in Tokyo any time soon.

    The Chit Chat Chit Chat Thread

    Too bad it didn't take out the taco barges and stargate. 😭 Or GOTG. (I mean the ride and awful show building, not the people in it :D )

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    That is cool. I didn't know it's been the same mariachi band all along.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Just watched Adam the Woo's recap. The corporate drone on stage announces that a highly anticipated ride that was supposed to open, like now, is delayed until 2023..... and the crowd full of pixie dusters erupts in cheers. 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    That's the EPCOT fireworks show, right? Are they getting rid of the startgate and tacos? If so, good. Meh. The whole sudden hatbox ghost furor always seemed to be one of corporate's early and successes in engineering an "influencer" campaign to generate demand for merchandise.

    News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Wow, this is some really crappy news. Thematically, I agree. But Modern Disneyco's ability to pull it off well is... suspect. My crystal ball says "1.5 rides and a meet and greet pavilion." And tons of landfill-bound synthetic stuffed animals, keychains, plastic commemorative popcorn buckets...

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    I wonder if they'll stick a giant "40" roundel on Spaceship Earth like they did at Magic Kingdom's castle. Because otherwise, you'd never know there was a notable anniversary going on.

    Fire at Epcot

    Fingers crossed that for guest safety Disneyco will now remove that show... and thus remove the stargate and hulking taco barges.

    3 Rs in Runaway Railway logo

    Never even noticed the three Rs. But slightly off topic, but still speaking about Three Rs, man I wish some company would create a Bollywood Studios park. Now this would make for a heck of a Three Rs ride:

    EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    Sounds like it's time to roll in more planters.
