The animated short ‘Donald's Nephews’, introducing everyone's favorite duck trio, was released in 1938, and I thus begin my spontaneous Disneyland trip countdown... 38 days! Wooooo! (I was deliberating about going to Hong Kong Disneyland again instead, as it's so much cheaper to fly there from...

I think we need to establish what kind of dirt @nelsonj3 is talking about here. In terms of litter and trash on the floor, I would have to say I still think WDW is very clean in most areas. When it comes to general maintainance, ie keeping the buildings clean and the monorail track and the...

This kind of thread makes me feel sad, but I am compelled to agree. As a former-ICP custodian, I know I and my fellow Main Street custodians worked our butts off back in the summer 2013, and I have faith that the guys I left behind are still doing a wonderful job. Post-fireworks was always a...

Apologies, my first real update is a little delayed and not so exciting, but here are some photos and observations from Sunday 19th July. I must firstly say that the response and excitement surrounding Shanghai Disneyland, as far as I have felt it, has been somewhat implicit so far. I always...

Thank you, I do have a pretty good camera and hope to take as many photos of everything as possible! I am really eager to get in there during the soft openings (or before) and am willing to camp outside the place if I have to! The construction site is a little way away from where I live (and...

As a Disney Parks enthusiastic, I have always been so interested in how the communities felt in the years and months leading up to the grand opening of a Disney park in their area or home town. Just think how exciting it must have been for the people of Anaheim, Orlando, Urayasu, Marne-la-Valle...

Yes, everything has been open for a few months now. I've been several times and it's pretty good, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area, even just for the Shanghai-exclusive merchandise. Don't make a trip to Shanghai just to visit the store though, it's not THAT special - just wait...

HKDL's Merlin is brilliant! I rarely stop to watch his shows in the US but he is so entertaining in HKDL - even without knowing the language, his energy and enthusiasm always draws a crowd!

I loved the Virgin Megastore! I have very fond memories from 2004 of running through the store with my sister and my cousins to grab a CD of their favourite band and then all of us running into a huge pile of CDs and sending them crashing to the floor. Luckily the manager didn't make us pay for...

Doesn't sound exactly thrilling, but I'll wait and see what they do with it. It is true that anything at all is better than nothing...

Er, so, what were you guys saying about there being more strollers in the parks nowadays? :p

I've been living here in Shanghai for 6 months and there's a kind of implicit excitement around the whole thing. It's definitely not advertised or spoken about much but everyone is aware it's happening. When the Disney Store first opened it was very popular, and I lined up for around 10 minutes...

I would love for this to happen! It's always been kinda cool to stumble upon the Blue Sky Cellar at DCA and watch the video and enjoy the exhibits, and same can be said for the displays at the end of the OMD walkthrough. This will totally get everyone excited about Avatarland and whatever is...

The Space Mountain music is chilling, the Soarin' theme is magnificent and Golden Dreams is awe-inspiring. I would also add the Tower of Terror lobby music for it's atmosphere and The Great Movie Ride montage finale music (has the recent re-do totally done away with the soundtrack? I hope not!).

haha, wow, I'd be terrified of doing anything like that here in China! But that is an intriguing thought... Yes, I know there's a lot of money to be made blogging and creating dedicated Disney websites, and this is another avenue I've thought about heading down too. Connections will be the key...

haha, yes, I shall try that!

Opps, posted thread twice. Ignore this one!

This is something that's been eating away at me for several months now. I'll give you the low-down on my situation: I'm from the UK and in January of this year I moved to Shanghai to teach English. By fate, I have ended up in the city where they are building the next Shanghai Disneyland. And...

I'd agree, do NOT do Star Tours. My dad and sister are fine with every ride at WDW, but this one always makes them feel very sick. @englanddg 's list is very accurate as far as I can see, and even if you skip every one of those rides, you'll still have a wonderful time, I know! Disney World is...
