I think this is a good idea. Open all at once and you get insane crowds consisting of locals, CMs and tourists all together trying to cram in two rides. By splitting it out, by the time the whole land opens, most of the tourists, locals and bloggers will have seen all the shops, restaurants...

They look lovely. I'm sure that the character art decals will no doubt fade and peel in the sun within a year or two, let's hope they've planned refurbs for that side of things - but as of right now, all brand new, they look great.

These gondolas aren't exactly a new concept. Anyone who's been to ski resorts will have been on them and yes, they sway in the wind when they're motionless sure, but so what, they're attached tight to the cables, and it's never for very long. If you can survive the gentle swing of the Soarin'...

This is great news - I get that Leave a Legacy was a nice idea as a way for guests to remember loved ones they've lost, and it's nice they're relocating the tiles, but the entrance to a park celebrating the future shouldn't really be the place for a memorial, and it doesn't look anywhere near as...

I still can't understand why they're waiting until fall to open this. What is the point in advertising for jobs 8 or 9 months out? Will it take that long to train them up? And why are they testing cabins if they've still got many months of station construction - the presumed reason for the...

They've got the lines, they've got the cars, is it really going to take 9 months to finish the stations and do testing? The original mooted date of May seems perfectly achievable, I wonder if they're just covering themselves in case there are unexpected problems? I'll be disappointed if I don't...

My guess from those photos is that it will share existing kitchen space with Tokyo Dining, with just the guest area being the new part.

What were the Imagineers smoking at the turn of the century? Destroying Horizons, sticking a giant hat in front of the Chinese Theater, replacing a great Figment ride with a terrible one... did they literally just choose the worst ideas they could then build them for a dare?

Adult Cove sounds like a rude video store, not a theme park land.

A Disney server has a certain amount of guests they can deal with at once. The system works by different tables being at different stages of the meal, so you normally shouldn't notice the delay. But large parties throw things off - with everyone at the same stage, of course the meal will be...

Most of the movies in The Great Movie Ride I only learned about from riding The Great Movie Ride, but not having seen them didn't lessen the attraction in any way. It did a great job of getting the point across so you got the vibe for what, say, The Public Enemy was like, even if you'd never...

Lots of cast members love little notes, drawings, stickers... little gifts from guests with no monetary value but are to be treasured. Some guests prepare little envelopes with characters on for servers, that kind of thing... it goes down really well. Obviously a formal compliment with guest...

Visiting Tokyo Disneyland today is like visiting the Magic Kingdom of the early 90s. It shows that a) you can have a successful park run to the standards of today, reasonable prices (Tokyo is far, far cheaper) and have great guest satisfaction. The contrast between Tokyo Disneyland and Magic...

Skis to the Kingdom.

Yes there is a shop, Williams of Hollywood, that sells old props - it's tucked away in the Hollywood area. It's mostly things from the parks though - old shop window items, ride signage, that sort of thing - rather than real film props.

This is a strange thread. Why would anyone have a problem with people pausing in a line? You still get to the ride at the same time. You could stand at the entrance to the cave in Flight of Passage, wait ten minutes without moving, then spend a minute walking up to fill the space, and you'd be...

"In early 2019, Walt Disney World will unveil a collection of shows, parties, Disney character interactions and more that will allow guests to cherish time with family and friends." And the sweet smell of upcharging will fill the air.

He never said it was 'good' value, just the same as we expect. So we can expect it to be ridiculously overpriced then.

It looks like any modern eco-friendly city block, not something out in the wilderness of nature. It has a real urban feel, but looks like it will be all recycled wood etc. This picture of the valet loop looks like it would work great at Epcot, as a modern view of man living with nature (the...

Disney security theater is ineffective, super intrusive and frequently offensive. Last week a friend of mine had his medication bag tipped out and inspected at the Epcot gates to check it wasn't illegal drugs. That is taking above and beyond way too far in my view. They should purely be...
