    Favorite food no longer sold

    I checked out the fudge again at Sweet Spells at Disney's Hollywood Studios this past Saturday. They had a seasonal flavor, pumpkin fudge. That's better than no seasonal flavor at all, although I don't really like pumpkin flavored things.

    Favorite food no longer sold

    What I miss most is fudge at the candy stores. They still have fudge, but only a few flavors, when they used to have a ton, including some awesome seasonal flavors. Sometimes I want fudge so bad, I will get a boring flavor, but it doesn't really taste all that good anymore. I still find...

    What is WDW like to locals?

    I'm a passholder and go often. I went today! They are always adding and tweaking stuff, so it doesn't grow old for me. I feel like I am blessed to live here. I am also a passholder to Sea World. I was a passholder to Universal, but now I have a neighbor who can get me in for free in...

    Canada Pavilion Rant

    I agree about bringing back BeaverTails. I remember going to Epcot one day, walking the parking lot instead of the tram, and promising myself a BeaverTail for a reward. But the stand was gone! Arrggh, I was so disappointed! I would agree the shops need to be reopened. I do love the gardens...

    What would you have added to Star Wars land?

    It needs a restaurant with odd food choices, like in Pandora. Perhaps like Cosmic Ray's, some alien audio-animatronics, to make it like Mos Eisley Cantina. (Though I'm aware the Star Wars: Galaxy Edge is not set on Tatooine.) Or maybe it could be a character meal, with the characters being...

    Not Impressed with Pandora

    Those "floating" rocks in the sky aren't very convincing from what I've seen in photos. I'm looking forward to seeing Pandora some day, but right now I'm waiting for things to die down some. I'm afraid that even with a FastPass, the waits will be long.

    Personally Unappealing TS Menus

    Sometimes I get an appetizer as my entrée, and no server has ever chided me for that.

    updating carousel of progress.

    What would personally work for me: bring back "The Best Time of Your Life" ("now is the time") as the song between scenes. It was the song playing there in my childhood in the 1970's. Actually, I wouldn't mind having the ride, in it historical settings, going back to the show that was there...

    When another Guest ruins an experience/attraction for you

    On Carousel of Progress, a baby was crying loudly, and drowning out the show's dialogue. The parents, probably foreigners who didn't speak English, eventually got up and stood in the back of the theater, and then this cast member's voice came through over the speakers, also silencing the show...

    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    Darn right! I like coming to these forums to relax, not to play guessing games with the acronyms. I have a page bookmarked that defines the acronyms, but again, I want to relax, not thumb my way back and forth between pages.

    Stupid moments you got really excited for

    I get excited when I hear music from an attraction from my childhood, even if it's closed now. In the Tomorrowland music loop, I've heard the themes from "If You Had Wings" and an earlier version of Carousel of Progress.

    The Original Disney World McDonalds

    There also was a McDonald's at Downtown Disney Marketplace, near the Lego store. Totally overpriced and nothing memorable about the décor.

    Needing suggestions for reducing motion sickness on rides

    Getting motion sickness on rides is a rather recent development for me. Used to never happen, then I went on the red side of the Dragon Challenge at Harry Potter, and suddenly experienced it. (The blue side, which I had previously ridden on another day did not bother me.) So I read this...

    Ride Showdown: Indiana Jones or Dinosaur?

    That was a hard choice. Dinosaur is my fave attraction at Animal Kingdom. Can't wait to see the refurb version. But Indy wins out. I think to me it has to do with Temple of Doom being one of my fave movies, while Dinosaur the movie was just okay and I've only watched it once. I can't get...

    Never Been There

    I may never go on Tower of Terror. I've gotten to like coasters okay in the last few years after years of avoiding them. I find the drops don't make my stomach flip, but I'm afraid a straight down drop like on ToT may do so. I haven't caught every single atmosphere or musical or acrobatic...

    Well, that's sure to cause some mold.

    Twice in recent years, I have been caught in a downpour at WDW. Both times, I was ready to leave anyway, and I didn't feel like hanging out with strangers under a little bit of shelter, so I braved the rain. Every inch of me was crying, "Gimme shelter!", but I kept on walking through the park...

    RIP The Great Movie Ride

    One of the times I recently rode it, I got to sit up front, right next to the guide/gangster. The gangster who took over the ride was a woman. As she began to get ready to steal the forbidden jewel, I told her, "Don't go!" Whether she heard, I'll never know... It wasn't that long ago that...

    Agree or disagree about Hollywood Studios?

    The order I like the parks best is Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. I doubt that order will change, even though I am looking forward to the new stuff. A lot of animation since "Ren & Stimpy" has had an unappealing look to me. Too much wise guy attitude in...

    Where to buy attraction posters at the parks?

    I myself was just doing a search on Disney Parks attraction posters the other day. Got some blank space on my bedroom wall that needs fillin'! I tried allposters.com but came up with nothing on a specific search. A more general search just produced a ton of general Disney pictures, like...

    My Unpopular WDW Opinion - post yours!

    You must've come during the "Dapper Days" fan event. I thought about joining in, but I'm not sure what to wear or if I even have anything appropriate to fit the term "dapper". I usually dress like you.
