Most people don't get it. Themed entertainment is rarely appreciated as the art form that it is. But you will get it when things go awry. Making up backstories to bring franchises into a setting does not make it a cohesive theme. There are lots of movies set in the jungle/wilderness but...

No problem, I don't like pets. They annoy me.

I don't really wish to go down this rabbit hole but I think we can all agree that in large the human species has not treated the animal world very well at all. Deforestation, factory farms, extinction of most of the worlds large mammals, the polluting of the waters etc. Obviously there are...

I'll come full circle and equate this season to WDW. I find this season is rushed, we no longer have 8-9 episodes of storytelling, placemaking and exposition followed by 1 or 2 grand e-ticket moments. This season has wow moments every time we turn around. People are coming and going, wars are...

I think it's the beard. Rothfuss, Jordan, Martin... Fantasy has such a trove of talent right now with authors that are actually publishing books at a yearly clip ( the genre has a come a long way, although there are still tons of garbage). Personally I'll take Steven Erikson, his Malazan...

Explain how Indy fits the theme of Animal Kingdom. Yes, Indy had adventures in the jungle....and desert, frozen tundra, cities etc. Indy is an archaeologist often in search of a long hidden artifact, that's a bit of a stretch.

I could see this as the e-ticket anchor ride for a new South American land. This is defiantly the direction the parks are going. But again remember even if you insist that it could fit geographically and maybe even visually (Indy traveled to South America once and it is in a jungle), setting...

As a former restaurateur I completely understand the importance of proper staffing. It is a delicate balance to make sure everyone is staying busy and earning money(believe me, more staff is worse since the idle staff often bring down the people working). I had plenty of days where I guessed...

I am not a fan of this self referential classic Epcot backstory. It's a lazy way to incorporate a thrill ride and blend it with nostalgia. If you are going to change the mission of the park and dilute the pavilions to push your movie franchises let's not pretend and give us this wink of...

Maybe the UK attraction, albeit perhaps only a C level ride could make it by 2019.

Will the Skyliner have PhotoPass? Or character meet and greets? major fail if this does not happen.

I voted for Toad, even though it has been dismissed. It's funny out of all the things changing and coming to WDW this one little C ticket is being held as the most closely guarded secret of them all. Or maybe it's just so fluid nobody wishes to go on a limb just yet.

Wow, so M:S could have went into the expansion pad if they decided to keep Horizons. Will this new proposed idea swallow that pad?

I always thought that the space between the Land and the Seas was under utilized. And the West has only 3 pavilions while the East has 4. I think Soarin could have been built there as an air pavilion, with land/air/sea next to each other on the West side. Anyway back to how @marni1971 doesn't...

well..."nowhere in particular" is an obvious reference to the Smith's song "how soon is now ?". That line was itself a reference and originally from the George Eliot novel, Middlemarch. George Eliot is a pen name for a woman named Mary Anne Evans, who had a long time relationship with George...

Obviously that is your preference and opinion, which certainly has many supporters. I appreciate really good customer service when warranted but also really enjoy the option of a online/technical solution. It's the businesses that balance that for their consumer base that will make it a better...

I didn't mean to make the inference that all people over a certain age are complete luddites. A blanket statement like that would be incorrect. But from my experience in branch banking the clientele definately skews to the older crowd but hardly not in totality. I am often shocked by the...

How are you disagreeing with me?

I equate this with tellers at your bank. Some of us have been doing their banking digitally for a quite a while and with the prevalence of all the online options and the newer ATM technology, there is very few scenarios that require you step a foot into a branch. But some people and partially...
