    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    Eventually I’m sure something else will appear in that direction but given the current state of things, I can’t think it’ll be too soon.

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    If nothing else, the spur could just be to ensure that the gravel pathway stays away from the guest walkway. If the gravel met the paved guest area it could easy cause a huge mess and trip hazards with small stones, etc, so it’s a more elegant way of the two meeting.

    EPCOT New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    Perhaps the buildings themselves are no longer aesthetically pleasing (they were more so in the past), but from a design and spatial perspective, and the environment they created and the feelings guests felt in that environment when added to the music, fountain and landscaping, they were...

    News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

    That is true. However, this isn’t a new pavement or a menu change. This is a major visual change of the icon of their flagship theme park at their flagship resort. It’s seen and recognised worldwide and more than anything else at WDW it will hold sentimental value to millions. So I think it’s...

    Ha! This was in response to a previous post.. even if it feels like stating the obvious to some :)

    News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

    I entirely agree that this was surely not done just to satisfy people’s instagram photos. It makes no sense. Yes, times have changed and photos are now disseminated instantly and globally but surely the point of the castle is first and foremost for visitors to the Magic Kingdom, not those who...

    Ample Hills to open new location at Disney Springs

    I know B&J is popular but to me it’d be such a disappointment as you can buy it everywhere! It’s such a shame Ample Hills has gone! At Boardwalk they originally did a limoncello sorbet and it was amazing!

    You see, I like this. I don’t think I’d ever love it, at least not till seeing something in person. But it works and it’s a refresh that stays consistent with the MK castle vibe! So does the one that followed yours. Like has been said, those higher up should have got this right. Nevermind eh...

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    It looks that way, but then they join up to what seems to be a concrete pathway parallel to the monorail station. Could it be something like there being a separate ‘exit pathway’ for guests so they don’t have to walk through the boat dock/screening area?

    News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

    Sadly, no. I don’t think the pink fits the castle in Orlando the way it does in other parks/for other castles, warmer lower walls or not, haha. Thanks for trying to soften the blow, though!

    I think the paint scheme would work fine with just one change: ditch the pink. If they went back towards the ‘grey white’ inner portion, they could have their shiny blue, greyer greys and gaudy gold and it would probably look alright. With the pink it just doesn’t work.

    I actually like the castle colours in this photo, but sadly I don’t think they’re the real shades. I do love the duck!

    Any word on the scanning machine for bag check

    By all accounts it’s the same technology as mentioned having been at Disney Springs. The Evolv system, I believe.

    Disney dining reservations canceled until the end of the year..

    I have a trip planned from 7/13 and dining reservations for the couple days of my trip have been cancelled. I had two reservations at a specific place, and the earliest one has been removed while the later one remains. So I can only presume they're cancelling in date order?

    No more free bread at table service....

    It also mentions certain restaurants hadn’t even heard of the change, so it’s possibly not across the board? Whatever it is, it’s cheap and needs to be reversed! Even at some of the cheapest restaurants you get free bread.

    Page navigation buttons missing from top of thread pages on mobile site

    I wondered if this was still in the pipeline? It’d be incredibly useful, even if not a complete necessity! Thanks!

    News Disney Riviera Resort announced

    I presume this is an embossing stamp the housekeepers use when replacing/tidying up the toilet paper rolls? As opposed to them actually ordering rolls with the RR on them haha. Either way it’s a lovely touch.

    Big Top Souvenirs Closed Indefinitely?

    I know this :) I’m just explaining why people may be frustrated/upset by the loss of a thematic element such as ‘just a carpet’.
