    New PeopleMover dialogue?

    Good. I'm a short woman, and it’s awkward as heck.

    MK Prairie Outpost in Frontierland to reopen soon as a hat shop

    Our hardware store in South Carolina sells a ton of gardening hats, sun hats, and straw hats this time of year. Sun exposure and skin cancer is nothing to sneer at. I wear a big straw hat to WDW if I visit in any season but winter and get lots of compliments every time.

    General Star Wars News

    Comedy, being more accessible and appealing to a larger audience, generally does better, especially compared to a drama like Andor. They are completely different things. I absolutely adore Andor. I don’t really care for Star Wars. Kids love Star Wars. Kids love Spaceballs. That alone makes this...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Thanks, fixed. I got it right the first 3 times I typed it, but had to go back and correct autocorrect that I messed it up eventually, of course 🤪

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Previous poster didn’t mention the entire animatronic penguin orchestra, or the fireworks effects in the ceiling, or the water coming out of Fozzie’s comedic flower, or the actual Sweetums actor/puppeteer, or the bean bunny animatronic. Not to mention the Swedish chef and his cannon and various...

    News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

    Yeah, if I had owned instead of rented, homeowners insurance would’ve covered it. As it was, it was a crazy event. My cat grabbed a bat who flew out of the fireplace and threw it on me. My vet, a friend, was howling over the phone. The cat was vaccinated for rabies, of course.

    News Live Music at The Odyssey: EPCOT Pianist Performs Daily Through August 10

    I love this idea, but not necessarily the arrangement, and those flowers are right out of a funeral home. (I’m so mean; would totally get a kick out of seeing this live.)

    News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

    Plenty of employers don’t offer insurance anymore. In my 20 years of post-graduate school full-time employment, only one of my employers has offered health insurance. In the south, even working for the state or for major institutions, there are not necessarily benefits. I worked full time at...

    MK The Hall of Presidents closing for refurbishment on January 20, 2025 [Reopened June 29, 2025]

    That’s not entirely true. We’re the weirdos who always stay at Crescent Lake hotels and hate the stress/hassle (some form of transport is always down in one direction or the other) and crowding of the Magic Kingdom, and we really only go when we have parkhoppers and decide to do genie+ and can...

    Jared Leto confirms new Tron movie!

    I used to work in the music industry as front line road crew, circa 2004-2011ish. He was at SXSW when I was attending. At one point, I was in a VIP-only area, inside a guestlist-only room, inside a building that was industry-only. Jared Leto came in with his people and bodyguards as I was...

    MK The Hall of Presidents closing for refurbishment on January 20, 2025 [Reopened June 29, 2025]

    We’ve been going to WDW pretty regularly since the early 90s and I’ve been twice: on the first trip and once when it was pouring. I minored in Classics in college and participated in several archeological digs, so clearly I’m interested in history. On my very pricey vacation, with limited...

    DHS MuppetVision 3-D's Future: Potential Disney Park Venues and Vision Pro Immersive Experience

    We went to say goodbye to Muppetvision today. It was absolutely packed. There were lots of chuckles during the preshow and lots of reactions from the audience during the show itself. There was a whole group of children on the side that were very actively engaged, pointing and whatnot. There...

    SPOILERS: Star Wars' ANDOR Seasons 1 & 2

    Every break is a jump of a year. So by the time we get to Rogue One, it’s been 3 years since the first season and 2 years since the initial time on Yavin. 2-3 years is a lot when you’re on the edge. Look at how 2020 changed a lot of things very quickly. Also, planning/build up usually takes...

    Quality of available merchandise significantly reduced?

    It’s fine! People have thought we’re an ACE for decades because our store is small and helpful. ACE is the best of the chains, so it is a compliment! ACE wants our store badly, actually, for the location, loyalty of the customers, and for the attractiveness of the store itself, but would strip...

    Quality of available merchandise significantly reduced?

    We run a small, independent hardware store with 3 major suppliers and roughly 50 smaller ones. 2-6 months left, depending on the industry, is in line with the weekly emails we’re getting from all of them, as well as the real-time counts for we can see is available in the warehouses. We’re...

    SPOILERS: Star Wars' ANDOR Seasons 1 & 2

    Of the 6 people I know personally who watched Andor season 1, 5 are waiting to watch until the full season drops. I believe the original numbers also started out slow and grew week by week, with viewership increasing well after it had ended.

    Current Crowd Levels & Visitor Origins

    We run the last hardware store left in downtown Charleston, SC, which is located on a peninsula in a pretty large international tourist destination, especially for high-end destination weddings. Every major business in town has a charge account at our store or at least comes in regularly, so...
