    Starbucks among other new vendors at Disney

    Things I wish I would have known / Disappointment in DL

    On our recent trip to DL I was amazed at the CMs. They were excellent. When I asked the train conductor if we could get a picture of him with my son (who loves trains it was the first thing we went on, and went around the full trip) he was great - he switched hats with my son so we have pictures...

    Is Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad too scary for a 5 year old girl?

    My son is 6 1/2 and will not do Splash or Big Thunder (he did them once each when younger) my nephew who is just a couple months older loves both. We did rider swap on BTMRR at DL and it worked out well so my wife and I could ride.

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    I agree - was there first part of May - I heard three different groups trying to figure out what the peoplemover track was. How they haven't restored a Peoplemover to it is beyond me.

    Why are some movies ignored?

    The parade at DL has an animatronic Simba. A Lion King dark ride would be awesome.

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    My wife, son, and I rode in the front of Orange Saturday. Bet no one took our picture! (One of the big differences I saw at DL - not the monorail, no, a family had asked about riding up front before us, and they didn't flinch to let us go instead when my 6yo asked - one of the highlights of...

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    Train question(s): We decided to leave via the train. Seeing Tomorrowland empty was kind of surreal. Approaching the train my wife and I swear we saw passenger cars will (yellow?) seats perpendicular to travel, but neither train that came through as we waited were that configuration- what did we...

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    It's not the end of the world, it's been a great trip. Today was Beach day, and we're spending the last half in DL. Would have liked to gotten on more rides today, but with a six year old hour waits just aren't worth it. Waiting on the parade, enjoying cotton candy with my son and wife.

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    Yeah, Downtown Disney is packed, Tomorrowland is closed, resulting in the rest of the park being overly packed. Not the best way to end a trip.

    The 60th Anniversary of Disneyland: The Reality of it All

    There were cars running all day yesterday (not sure if this is new) and at least one had a (lone) guy on it.

    WDW Permits 2015

    Lee is right, "Black Box" is typically a type of Theatre. Tom is also right "White Box" is a term for a shell retail space. H0ar is a great contractor. I've done black box theatres, white box retail space, and worked on projects with H0ar (as the General Contractor - I'm an Architect), I even...

    A Disney Park in... WISCONSIN?

    I'd like to see them plan a Marvel park just west of the Mississippi (NOLA?), as close to Orlando as they can get, just to be a thorn in Universals side.

    A Disney Park in... WISCONSIN?

    Anybody remember Old Chicago? It was an indoor park in the Chicago suburbs from 1975-80.

    I haven't had franchised UNOs, but Giordanos is the McDonald's of Chicago pizza.

    What Would YOU Do with A Monorail Car?

    They converted one of the Disneyland Mark III cabs into a weinermobile type vehicle.

    What Would YOU Do with A Monorail Car?

    There are any number of "Transportation" museums. I'd love to see a WDW Monorail train at the Illinois Railway Museum for instance (though a complete train, this cab is pretty much just a novelty.)

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    It's too bad the old WDW monorails from Vegas were just left to rot. 170k is a lot for one car, but it would have been nice to see a whole train preserved somewhere.

    Apple Watch launch

    This is my concern. The 3G was a huge improvement over the first iphone. My first gen Ipad was EOL'd soon after I got it. Same for my first gen AppleTV. I've had every non-S iPhone since the 3G, a Mac Mini, and a Macbook. I'd love to get an Apple Watch, but think I'm going to wait for...
