    Two additions - And I would purchase an AP for DLP

    Welcome to the forum from me too, good post, but you will find out quite quickly that we are planning the parks as armchair imagineers all the time in these forums. At least I hoped for ONE major addition in the remaining years until the anniversary but as I already mentioned DLP is a park that...

    Two additions - And I would purchase an AP for DLP

    Thanks for posting in this thread, sorry that I didn't respond earlier. I consider WDS nearly a stillbirth , sorry. The entire park design and attraction roster is so underwhelming, that it would need a DCA-level revamp! to change it from "worst Disney park on the planet" to "good". It's a...

    Zootopia at Animal Kingdom?

    I really hope this is just another fanboy rumor, I don't want to see anything of this shameless PC-propaganda flick in the parks. The last Disney cartoons made with such obvious political undertones were made during WWII.

    Polynesian

    "but I get it when issues come into play" The only issues that come into play are the greed of TDO who charge increasingly insane rates but continiously reduce the quality of the resort and of a stay there. It would have been no technical problem to build new waterfalls, there are hotels...

    Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

    I would definitely prefer a UNIQUE attraction, a ride FAR more than any show BTW, in ANY WS pavilion than just a Ratatouille clone in France. Don't get me wrong, I like that ride, I did it many times in the WDS in Paris but it is neither an E-Ticket nor the kind of attraction that would make me...

    Possible Attraction in France pavilion (Epcot) Update - new Attraction Greenlit

    Problem is, as long as Peter Pans Flight in the MK has an average standby wait time between 45 and 90 minutes even during late evening hours (we always do it with a FP) and guests are obviously and widely accepting an outdated ride with technology from basically the 1950ies without any further...

    Epcot named worst tourist trap in Florida

    I understand some of these criticism about EPCOT, I also have known it from the beginning on, first visit was in 1984. I was blown away as a child from a city that to present day has no amusement park, not to mention theme parks. But even with all the losses over the years ( Horizons *sigh*)...

    Epcot named worst tourist trap in Florida

    One quote from the article explains everything: "The experiences at each country in the park focus only on the most basic stereotypes of each culture, and the few rides this park has are disappointing to most children." Another journalist idiot (like most journalists nowadays BTW and not only...

    Music of Disney World

    So what? I only downloaded the files, I never uploaded and 95% of the stuff are not purchaseble anyway. And of the 5% legally purchased CDs, LPs etc. I can rip for my private use as much files as I want, as long as I don't sell them.

    Rumor: Adventureland Volcano

    Because Venice and a Matterhorn don't exactly fit together. WDI decided to choose a Venetian theming for the Italian pavilion, it would be imagineering at it's worst to place a Matterhorn behind a cityscape designed to look like this mediterranean city. And I am quite sure near to none Americans...

    Music of Disney World

    When I came back from my first trip to WDW in 1982 as a child, there was nothing to bring back the memories than some really bad fotos and the Official WDW vinyl record from that time. I listened to it for hours while staying in my grandparents house for the rest of the summer holiday. There...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    I forgot another aspect of the volcano expansion of AL. It is a PERFECT backgr Do you have a picture of that central mountain available?

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Nothing has to go, the expansion pad for AL is southwest of the MK, behind PotC and the JC, it would be built entire on land that is at the moment outside the guest areas. The major problem is the connection with the existing land because there is only a very narrow path between the JC and PotC...

    Polynesian

    Years ago we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, the Polynesian, the Yacht Club and we had a terrible night at the AKL. Pricing level was still quite reasonable then, we could not only afford to stay there easily but we thought the price level was really acceptable. Today especially in the Poly and...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    You considered the Princess-Pixie-Fairy-M+G overkill version better than the built version? Which is still not even remotely the expected answer by Disney to WWoHP at Universal? BTW, because capacity is the problem, an AL-expansion would make more sense than just adding more attractions. A true...

    Expedition Everest effects status watch

    Not exactly, the Yeti is broken since this thread exists, where is the reason to have a thread for ten years! about something that doesn't change at all. Yes I know, the LIGHTING around the Yeti changes sometimes, but does that rectify a thread for ten years? The very special thing about EE and...

    Rumor: Adventureland Volcano

    I hope, that if they build a volcano coaster or volcano-based attraction (something similar to JttCoE), they don't do a movie theming. Nearly all famous major E-Tickets were unique attractions (which later often spawned movies, but that's something completely different) unrelated to actual...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    If I recapture the present situation in FL, I come to the conclusion that some plussing is necessary but an entire expansion would be overkill as long as they did not expand AL and redo TL. BTMR - Add the effects from DL and it is perfect. SM- Everything OK. CBJ - I hate them but they are a...

    POFQ or AoA in November 2018

    Just another tip, if you should decide to stay at the TLM rooms in AoA, on really hot days it's a good idea to walk through the hallway of the Lion Kind building to the right (coming from TLM) on your way to the main building/Big Blue Pool. We did it to enjoy a minute or two of AC and looking at...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    And I definitely understand why! When I realized that I would see a "Nightmare before Christmas"-HM and a "Jingle Cruise" (absolute ridiculous idea BTW) if I go to DL before christmas, I decided to avoid that time of the year at all costs if I finally visit DL one day. And I can't even remotely...
