    Finally phasing out Night of Joy

    Looks like rain was a big factor in 2015 and previous years (via the comments): https://www.facebook.com/NightofJoy/posts/1052973401379496

    2016 Osborne Lights replacement - what will Disney do?

    Well, the new Toy Story Land has Christmas (Holiday) Lights strung throughout the land year-round. It only makes sense to me that Disney returns the Nativity and Angels back to the Osborne family and string just the holiday lights around Toy Story Land during the months of November through...

    DHS Muppetvision- Retire or relocate?

    Back again - An idea for a Muppet Dark ride in the space over where Pizza Planet and Mama Melrose currently is: Picture a kid-friendly boat ride (think Little Mermaid ride at MK) originally themed to the opening of the original Muppet Movie in 1979: +++++++++ "The Rainbow Connection" was...

    DHS Muppetvision- Retire or relocate?

    Leave Muppet Vision 4D and convert Pizza Planet (doesn't belong with new Toy Story Land) and Mama Melrose Pizza into a new Muppets attraction (ie. Muppet Ride) and restaurant that can take out Cypress Drive already being displaced from Star Wars Land. They already have the gift shop (Stage 1...

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    One more for agreement of the new hub. Was at the MK all day yesterday - first day of the spring break blackout on Saturday and it was very easy to navigate around the outer edges of the hub from FantasyLand to edge of Frontierland to Main Street USA. Was at the MK from 11am to 11pm and got 5...

    Innoventions into Big Hero 6

    There was another thread on this subject for BH6 back in November when it first opened where a lot of people where vehemently against it (without yet seeing the film). Glad to see that a lot of opinions have changed on it: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/what-about-big-hero-six.893233/

    This year's Disney Parks Christmas Day Parade will be based around 'Frozen'

    If you check my previous forum posts you will see that I typically defend Disney's decisions. Not on this one. It was horrible. I'm not sure who they were marketing this to. We had this on our DVR and our six year old and three year old daughters that love Frozen kept asking me to fast-forward...

    What about Big Hero Six?

    Cartoon or not, BH6 successfully makes studying stem subjects cool to kids watching the movie where Epcot has lacked in this area lately. I too thought of Epcot while watching the movie when they are at the University inventing a lot of futuristic things. Innoventions could be rethemed to this...

    DHS DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

    Since John Lasseter just paid DHS a visit, I'm thinking they are going to be adding a few rides stretching out to Catastrophe Canyon that would bring Pixar Place together on this side of the park: Monsters Inc Ratatouille Cars Land

    Disney Christmas Parade! Whats your take?

    Had nothing to do with the parade but this has to be the best moment from any of the parade shows that I have seen over the years with Celine Dion at the Grand Floridian. I actually was walking into the Grand Floridian just as the song was finishing when it was being performed. They were...

    Hands On - FastPass+ for non-resort guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I agree. Why not have a Space Mountain branded FP 1.0 machine in Adventureland or a Space Ranger Spin machine in Fantasyland for the kids. That has been my biggest gripe the last few years. Stating that, first not getting into the costs of MyMagic+, Disney had to do something with the explosion...

    Hands On - FastPass+ for non-resort guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    There is always that risk but Disney is going to have all of that data in their hands to see what the percentages are for guests that haven't entered the park 60 minutes before FP time, 120 minutes before FP time, and then see the historical percentages of actual guest that use those fast passes...

    Hands On - FastPass+ for non-resort guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    For the times I haven't stayed on property (most of the time), I have always wanted to get a FP for Space Mountain when I got off the ride for Splash Mountain or Thunder Mountain and have always thought Disney should have a kiosk to allow you to do that as opposed to walking across the park to...

    Hands On - FastPass+ for non-resort guests at Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Sorry, but FP 1.0 is highly inefficient in the sense you have to walk across the theme park (maybe a 5-10 minute walk) to get a fast pass that you will not be able to use until a later time, so then you are walking 5-10 minutes again to another part of the park to go to another attraction only...

    Lights of Winter not being displayed this year (2009)!?!

    Lights of Winter not being displayed this year (2009)!?!

    I went to SeaWorld last year for their Christmas events and Disney World this year for their Christmas events and SeaWorld has a lot more to offer as far as celebrating Christmas in an individual park than any of the Disney parks without having to pay for a separate event.

    Major water break near Big Thunder Mountain RailRoad 12-11-2013

    I've been here for 9 years and this is my 40th post! EHR21 needs to space their posts out a little more. The only year I missed a post was in 2005: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/search/10893186/

    Hollywood Studios entertainment overhaul

    I have a 4-year old and Rapunzel is by far her favorite princess as it is with many of her other 4-year old friends and it is not anything that we instilled in her. She is just a very likable princess to girls. My daughter swings on her swing in the back yard shouting "Best day ever". We don't...
