The 1982 prices I posted were the original post-ticket book prices. They incorporated unlimited attractions.

For the most part, the moderators do a great job. They are allowed to make a bad decision now and again (as they so obviously have over the past two weeks). /also has him on ignore //also notices that his posts are quoted in every other post, so it's impossible to avoid his trolling I'm off...

This has nothing to do with the children. This is entirely the laziness of the parents. The fact is kids get tired when they get up early and walk a couple miles in the heat. Rather than go back to the hotel, or take a break by a pool somewhere, it's easier for the parents to stick the kid in...

I wrote this a year ago, but it still applies ... 1982 ... EPCOT Center Opens. The cost of a three day WDW Park Hopper was $32. Compare that to the price of an average movie theater ticket = $3. Let's look at 2010. From Oct 1982 to August 2010, inflation increased approximately 122%. The...

Yet a direct comparison is exactly the one I make. Since I no longer live near either set of parks, when I am deciding where I want to experience Disney, I have to choose whether I'm flying east or flying west. Recently, I've been choosing west. It never used to be that way, but the last few...

I realize this puts me one step from the retirement home, but what is a callertune?

If the Disney Community had a satire site like The Onion, this is the kind of headline I'd expect to see. *sigh*

WDW is a product. The people that visit are customers. Any customer will have a set of standards it expects from any particular product; it is how they judge whether or not the value of the product/service is worth it's cost. All of that said, this standard will be different for different...

Here's the piece of information that immediately jumped out at me ... Say it's $40 per person for 10 days (the high end price). Now, what if all I care about is getting unlimited photos? If I purchase the package only for my kid, am I not going to be in many of the photos anyway? For...

I love how every building in EPCOT Center "failed as an attraction" (World of Motion, Horizons, pre-Ellen UoE, the Living Seas, Cronkite Spaceship Earth, Cranium Command, Body Wars, Kitchen Kabaret, El Rio del Tiempo), yet EPCOT Center had the #2 or #3 largest attendance (after MK and...

Anything built (or changed, or altered, or created) for this park should aspire to this dedication.

He is. The 50% of all people are of below average intelligence; some can barely remember to breathe, let alone not get out of a ride vehicle (or stand up) in the middle of an attraction (when you're surrounded by water).

I think the ship has sailed on a clone. I do think that eventually DHS will get an unique Indy ride when they go all-in on a Lucasland (it will replace the stunt show).

Quick question: You said it no longer "randomly" soaks you? Do you mean nobody gets soaked anymore? or that the same seats in the log gets soaked every time (presumably the front)? The reason I ask is, I don't like getting wet in the parks, so I stopped riding Splash Mountain a long time...

In my opinion, there is nothing in Future World that is better today than it was on the day it was built*; this includes the Living Seas. The original designers labored to create a land that was cohesive. The subsequent creative talent has spent 30 years dismantling it to satisfy their own...

When I was a kid, we did the drive from NJ to Orlando almost every summer in a '84 Dodge Caravan. It even had the fake wood grain paneling on the sides like the Family Truckster. That's 24 hours on the road; we usually did it over two days. Grand parents, cousins, close family friends - every...

There are two items that typically go by the name "dole whip" ... One is just frozen yogurt (on the left) and the other is a frozen yogurt float (on the right). The frozen yogurt can be pineapple flavored or a pineapple/vanilla swirl and the float is made with dole pineapple juice. Most...

That is crazy! What are the odds?
