    Forthcoming DLP refurbs for the 25th and beyond

    when DLP first opened there was a helter skelter type slide from the top of the castle to the bottom for guests. It closed pretty soon however (probably a safety/staffing issue). It looks to me from the refurbished photos that the slide is still closed off - you can just about make out the...

    Restaurant reservations

    In my opinion the buffet restaurants are the best for choice and value. Have had many good meals in Plaza Gardens and Cafe Agrabah - would recommend booking them both in advance.

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    The resort still has a large amount of debt accrued from it's early years of operation, costly build and capital depreciation. It also pays licensing fees to the Walt Disney Company, which even though they have waivered recently still adds up. This plus the recent capital investment on resort...

    Resort Specific Plates/Cups Making a Return?

    I wonder if this has anything to do with SDL having it's own branded cups and plates? - maybe some execs were reminded Disney used to do this in their themeparks. Disneyland Paris has its own branded cups - surely the more resorts that do this - the less cost effective it is for WDW to use the...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Probably just a temporary stop gap - I don't think the attraction will be around for too long, but 4 months is a long time so would expect some enhancements/improvements.

    Forthcoming DLP refurbs for the 25th and beyond

    I suspect they've had bigger fish to fry with the general park improvements - overlays would be an extreme luxury. But who knows? Once they've got the park up to standards there might be room to do something like this. Not sure how the holiday theme would work with the Frontierland/Western...

    Forthcoming DLP refurbs for the 25th and beyond

    They've also announced that Phantom Manor will get a complete overhaul after the 25th Anniversary celebrations. This is all very encouraging to see all of the renovations are going ahead well after the 25th has been and gone. There's a real feeling that the resort is turning a corner. I'm there...

    Forthcoming DLP refurbs for the 25th and beyond

    At the recent shareholders meeting (early last week) they said the backlot tour refurb had been put on standby. Rumours are they are rethinking this area for a Marvel land and doing away with the tour altogether. Other news from the shareholders meeting - Hotel New York will be closing for 15...

    Apparently Hyperspace Mountain is coming to Disneyland Paris. Strong rumour from this site (in French but easy enough to translate) https://www.planete-starwars.com/actualites/divers-hyperspace-mountain-arrive-a-disneyland-paris--n17051.html

    Monorail voice narration on busses

    I used to love the resort specific music - I'm assuming that's gone too? The banjo music they used to play on the way back to Port Orleans always makes me smile just before the 'Welcome Home'. I'm hoping this might be a temporary stop-gap while the do a new sound track to all the routes, would...

    Guardians Tower announcement Saturday in SD ...

    Won't go into this too much as we might be veering off topic - but that has always been the case with concept art (and why people should never take it too literally), I don't think I've ever seen Hogwarts (and its surrounds ever like this!)

    Guardians Tower announcement Saturday in SD ...

    Surely that's true of any theme park land whether it be the old Wild West, Hogsmead, Pandora or Mainstreet? In the end of the day they are theme parks and those pesky tourists and souvenirs are going to jar in the best themed lands.

    A Spirited Summer Special (AKA Phil Holmes Takes Anaheim!)

    Does this mean that Chapek is not quite as bad at his job some people on here would have us believe (over instance on IP's not withstanding)?
