    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Orange County is reimbursing Universal $5 million for moving a wastewater pipeline that sits on the Epic Universe site and is also spending another $125 million on extending Kirkman Road to the new theme park...

    You're going to pay to ride.

    A 5-8 hour line for a popcorn bucket is why I support Disney's decision on Genie+ LL...

    You're going to pay to ride.

    Piggy-backing onto my other post, I think that building out simple Fantasyland type dark rides for Pinocchio, Tangled, Aladdin/Genie, 101 Dalmatians, and Jungle Book similar to Peter Pan would meet this criteria and is what I had in mind when making this comment. Disney could look at what...

    You're going to pay to ride.

    This may be true for an individual family but there are now a lot more families visiting than 10-20 years ago. The fact that Disney isn’t selling AP’s right now shows that they are over-capacity. When all four parks are sold out during the holidays, Disney is sending those guests over to...

    You're going to pay to ride.

    Once Epic Universe opens, I think Disney is going to have to respond and a 5th gate would do it. They certainly have the IP available to do it now. They could do a superhero park with Incredibles, Big Hero 6, Mandalorian, Bobba Fett, and all of the new Marvel characters for the shows and movies...

    You're going to pay to ride.

    I am a local and all locals know that the city was built on Disney’s back. It would have grown to an extent with the space program and Lockheed but Disney has been the driver of growth. To the larger conversation, I support paying more to skip the lines. For the last 10 years or so, I have...

    NBA Experience at Disney Springs

    They should turn it into a Dave and Buster’s type of experience and call it “Litwak’s Family Fun Center and Arcade” that is the name of the arcade in Wreck it Ralph. Leave the basketball slingshots from NBA and gut everything else. They could also do birthday party rooms with a Wreck It Ralph...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    What is great about the 50th is that the castle looks a million times better for the 50th than it did for the 25th. The castle cake was about as popular as the time that they had Stitch toilet paper the castle. The castle cake was being mocked as much as the Kitetails show, but worse, you...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    Some answers to why Disney is not busy: 1. Large and Small Conventions are not happening right now. 2. Brazilian travel groups are not visiting 3. The Florida Resident 3-4 day promotion ended a few weeks ago outside of the one that runs all the time that is more expensive. 4. No Florida...

    News 'Disney Enchantment' coming to Magic Kingdom October 1 2021

    I’m on the opposite side with both shows. Harm looks great, unique, and different with a lot of nods to the host countries of the IP at the park from my perspective. I am bringing the kids to MK next month and thought this show would have the classic songs (ie. Bibbidi, you can fly, got no...

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    My kids never saw ROE but they would probably rate the Universal show over it. I don’t feel that way but they probably would with the Trolls and Minions segments.

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    I was a fan of ROE. Just rewatched the video of ROE’s final performance again and Harmonious is definitely a major upgrade all around from my standpoint and is Disney’s answer to Universal’s Cinematic Celebration that they have to compete with. My kids will really enjoy Harmonious as well. I get...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    It is a stand-alone drone show or drones used during the fireworks? One of the renderings of the MK fireworks show looks like it is using drones along with the fireworks.

    Say NO To Genie+ PETITION

    Just curious if you'd be willing to share which ride you had been on the most in 2019 and about how many times would you say that you went on that ride during the year?

    Say NO To Genie+ PETITION

    Disney has been raising prices for years and will continue to do so. There are winners and losers with Genie+ where the winners are families that visit Disney World once every 5-10 years that want to do all of the rides. An extra $300 for a 5-day trip for a family of four for more available...

    Orlando Becoming East Coast Headquarters for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products

    Fresh Market is still a gourmet food market that is missing most of the "middle aisle" items. For the other comment, the town of Eatonville is where Zora Neale Hurston grew up that wrote "Their Eyes Were Watching God". Each February, the town of Eatonville has a festival celebrating the author...

    Orlando Becoming East Coast Headquarters for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products

    I think you meant to say Winter Park for the Trader Joe's on your comment here that also has a Whole Foods and a flagship Publix at Winter Park Village that has a Starbucks and an Aprons cooking school inside. There are also a number of butcher shops in the area including Lombardi's Seafood, The...

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    From this story in April 2019: “When we got to the airport we’ll have to extend to seven days a week and we want to do that," said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, who also serves on the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission. "But the original agreement with the state, and the state is operating it...

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    The map below (and also page 13 on the link below) shows an extension of Sunrail to Lake Nona Blvd (dotted orange line) that was proposed for the Amazon HQ2 proposal. This line will use existing rail from OUC to connect to the Meadow Woods station where cast members can transfer to Brightline or...
