    Epcot's Character Spot to close for major refurbishment

    I think this is awesome. The current backdrop for EPCOT's character spot consists of very cheap looking stylistically outdated cutouts. I hope they they draw inspiration from EPCOT park and its history for the new setup. Given Disney's current dedication to details and extraordinary meet and...

    Disney launch 'Limited Time Magic' for Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort in 2013

    I really love the concept of this. It will be interesting to see just how much they do with the Parks during the "Limited Time Magic" weeks. Decorations, parades, shows, dining, etc. I would love to see them go all out for each.

    The Great Paper Napkin Watch

    In my earlier post when I said I understood the reasoning behind the decision, I didn't mean I supported it or sympathized with it. I can, however, totally see how a group of people only looking at shortsighted ways to cut business cost would come to this conclusion.

    Universal to Invest $1.5 Billion in Orlando Resort

    I absolutely hope so. However, the last few times this has happened Disney's knee jerk reaction to competition gave us a rushed Hollywood Studios, majorly scaled down Animal Kingdom, and the promise of Avatarland. I hope this will yield a finished product more along the lines of new Fantasyland...

    The Great Paper Napkin Watch

    My kids will be devastated! All they ever talk about is getting to wipe their hands and face while they are in WDW. But seriously, that does suck a little. I always enjoy getting to see how Disney brands itself in small, unique ways. The cups and napkins were just one of the many layers of...

    Is the Animal Kingdom considered the least popular park?

    AK is really a beautiful park in terms of landscaping, attention to detail, and theming. However, if they had built the park to its full original concept, we definitely wouldn't be having this discussion. For me, it's difficult to "compare" the Disney parks. They are unique and amazing in...

    @vitani88 is speaking from experience. I remember this similar thread from a while back. http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/your-feelings-on-flash-photography.839040/

    Refurbs, refurbs and more refurbs...

    I'll agree it's a slight bummer booking a trip and knowing you will miss out on a ride that is/will be down for refurbishment. However, I would much rather use that as my excuse to book another trip for later in the year. You know, to ride the attraction you missed. It's hard for me to be...

    Kingdom Keepers!!!!!!!

    I am currently reading the first book of the series to my kiddos (8 & 6). We choose a chapter book and read a little every night before bed until it is complete. Needless to say, as Disney enthusiasts when they discovered Kingdom Keepers existed they were ecstatic to start one. What could be...

    PHOTOS - Shrunken Ned's Junior Jungle Boats radio controlled attraction removed

    That is it! I am tired of watching WDW's unique past stripped away layer by layer! I'm never going back! Kidding. However, I did enjoy the look of the area. The miniatures were, at the very least, kind of neat to look at for a few minutes. It just looks sort of plain now, but I assume that...

    Six years later, I finally caught up with the POTC overlay...

    Sorry, I shouldn't have been so vague in my initial post. To be more specific I was talking about some of the small details that were lost. The Barker Bird, the talking skull, the ominous voices and sounds in the queue that lent pieces to a bigger picture of story and uniqueness to the ride...

    Six years later, I finally caught up with the POTC overlay...

    I think a few people might disagree with this.

    Have you ever taken your kids out of school to go to WDW?

    Did it. Will most likely do it again. Communicate it with the teacher in advance. If you ask them for make up work before the trip, most will provide it. You can review, complete, and help your child feel like he or she didn't miss a beat. We bring the missed homework with us on the plane/car...

    MNSSHP - Headless Horseman falls

    Holy Crap! Kudos to the Cast Members who diffused a potentially disastrous situation. Way to not lose your head. Ha! But seriously, This could have been real bad. The Horseman was always one of my favorite parts of MNSSHP. I hope this is seen as an isolated incident with precautions being...

    What makes you sad at Disney World

    I'm always saddened in the parks when I hear someone complaining loudly about length of lines, prices of things, heat, how much walking they have done etc. I'm not talking about eavesdropping on private conversations, but those people who complain with intent to be heard by others. I just don't...

    MK Mermaid Signage Gruesome?

    Not to be a "factual" guy or anything, but if you go through my post list, that is if you actually want to spend that much time on on something like this, you will see the word troll used a grand total of three times out of 168 comments. I don't know if that qualifies me as "King of The Trolls"...

    MK Mermaid Signage Gruesome?

    Are we really doing this? Tell me we aren't really complaining about this.
