    When are you going to fix that yeti?

    Either something is happening or Joe is getting fed up. https://twitter.com/wofginger/status/925649875605344258

    9/29 Both Pandora Attractions Closed

    One of my projects years ago where the CM was involved in preconstruction the running joke on the team was "two weeks and twenty thousand dollars." Any change, from the most frivolous to adding something like an AHU and the PM would say it would add two weeks and twenty thousand dollars. "Oh...

    iPhone buyers - which one are you buying in 2017?

    I'm in the same boat as Monty. I have always done every other year (skipping the "s" model) and while they went from 7>8 the 8 feels like a 7s, and the X and + are too big. There was a chance I'd go with an 8, but so far I'm not convinced. Will probably be an 8s for me unless next year the X...

    A War on Audio-Animatronics?

    The CEC animatronics were never as good as the Showbiz Pizza ones, and are kind of creepy when not performing.

    Bye bye Mickey soaps?

    Yeah, I was thinking someone filling them with Nair.

    Question about the new Star Wars Hotel?

    I wonder if they won't rotate buildings or floors out - Day 1 and 2 you are "in" and days 3+ you are at a "regular" resort - I can't see them discouraging guests from visiting WDW - otherwise why even locate it in Orlando?

    Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

    I think it'd be cool if Tron replaced one side of SM within the current building.

    WDW Permits 2017

    ATS is usually A.utomatic T.ransfer S.witch, which changes the source of power in the event of an outage (to a generator, etc)

    DHS RnRC New Theme Discussion

    I'd bet you the vast majority have no idea who he is, or that he is dead.

    DHS RnRC New Theme Discussion

    It's going to seem downright creepy should they keep the theme once Steven Tyler has passed. Not saying he'll be gone within a decade, but it's within the realm of possibility. He's not young and has lived a hard life. I could see them keeping it as others pass though (as most probably have no...

    Jungle Cruise Re-Imagining

    Hopefully they restore King Louie.

    Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

    Thanks for the response! (and sorry for the doubt Martin)

    Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

    I feel like I'm a doubting Thomas, but again I ask, are you sure? I really think some of the supports, both those that support the track, and those that support the roof, were outright replaced in 94. As an architect I would never expect to remove the existing cladding and find steel in that...

    Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

    The original supports were wider, are you sure? http://www.imagineeringdisney.com/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=/storage/Imagineering-Disney_THEN-AND-NOW-Tomorrowland-5bb.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1287890505162

    Replacement for Tomorrowland Speedway?

    They made structural changes for the 94 modifications did they not? The "gear" columns for the wedway are not just cladding but wholly different structure. I think it would be cool if they intertwined a modern coaster (Tron or similar) with the original space mountain, even if it means giving...

    Marathon Sunday nightmare

    Waiting in line for Peter Pan there was a woman completely going off as mine train was down when her FP was booked. "We paid thousands of dollars, booked these things months in advance, this was our one chance to ride it, and now we won't be able to". I could see her point. The lines for Mine...

    Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom

    Ive had this happen on past trips. It is pretty amazing, I was half expecting it to happen this trip.

    Is this magical or creepy?

    At least two of the rides I was on this last week had the second touch point operating. I can't remember which, but will ask my wife. I'm pretty sure Frozen did.

    Christmas Decorations in Magic Kingdom

    Most decorations were still up as of yesterday. Some were down in Epcot, Christmas Music stopped on Friday. Jingle Cruise was still going on Friday.

    Marathon Sunday nightmare

    I didn't see much in the way of signage. I saw more signage when I was at DL (just realized my last four Disney (WDW, WDW, DL, WDW) were marathon weekends. I did not know my DL trip was a marathon weekend, and am not a casual Disney fan (though that was my first DL trip)
