    Music that moves you

    "Beating of our hearts" from the finale of Luminous. The Soarin soundtrack. Both of those I think work in conjunction with what you're seeing. "Daisy Bell" (it's played in Main Street USA). "Feed the Birds" The "Reflections of China" overture, i.e. the portion that's played as entrance music...

    Less loud, noisy Value Resort please ?

    The AC units do that for me! I don't use ear plugs in case I don't hear the alarm. Rope drop and all that.

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I noticed there are t-shirts with Python quotes for sale in the UK pavilion. I was quite amused.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I was actually being sarcastic/ironic. That's why I started it with "apparently", because if a "fanatic" or "purist" moans about IP inclusion the inevitable response is that it's what the people want and expect from Disney parks. What I actually believe is that Disney does not care what people...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I have just returned from 10 days at WDW. Next planned trip will be April 2027. If they put up the construction walls now then hopefully they can get it all reconstructed by the time I next visit... [My honest opinion...the World Celebration gardens, with the associated ambient music, are a...

    Less loud, noisy Value Resort please ?

    I've just come back from 10 nights at Sports and had no noise issues whatsoever. That being said, I had a top floor room, an "inner corner" next to stairwell/custodial therefore only one neighbour, and a room in building 10 facing the main road rather than inwards towards the resort. Room 320 if...

    EPCOT Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    I'm here at the moment, I was in the pre-show room of Mission Space at 8.57pm and happened to check wait times, and SSE was showing 5 minutes, so it must have opened pretty late on. I'd given up on it.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I don't believe that Animal Kingdom needs new live animal exhibits, IMO this is not the future. As long as the park is about animals and their environment then that's fine, it can be done without live animals (erm, Dinosaur, Kali, Everest...). Remains to be seen how well Encanto and Indiana...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Is there any reason why you use Peter Pan's Flight rather than Small World?

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Both DL and MK Space Mountains have banked corners, it's just that they are different layouts and DL's has been retracked and negotiates the track more smoothly. I love them both, but I prefer MK's layout. Magic Kingdom Disneyland

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Given the price of LLPP, I'm sure it's included with that. Get on the ride before you've even joined the queue.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    They haven't even used the "+" yet.

    For some reason I've never done this at Disney, but always wanted to someday (the festival of the arts at Epcot)

    I enjoy it a lot, it's the one I've attended the most, although not specifically for that, it's just been the best time of year for me to come from the UK (price, weather, work, crowd levels). First time on a WDW-specific holiday for me was November 2014 (Food & Wine). I didn't know much about...

    EPCOT Mission:Space - Status and Future

    As I said, a lot of Disney people have overdramatic, oversensitive reactions.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Well, I think we are indeed at cross purposes. I was responding to a post about the fact it seems SeaWorld's QQ is better value than Disney's, on a price-per-ride basis. I agreed, saying how many times I'd ridden my favourites at SeaWorld, so not only is it better value on a per-ride basis but...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Strangely, they managed it with the paper fastpass and FastPass+, and Anaheim did it with MaxPass. Was the ability to pick a ride more than once really so bad that they changed it to Genie+ to make things "better"? And did it make it better? The equivalent of FastPass//MaxPass would actually...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I'm going to SeaWorld in a fortnight. It's forecast to be a quiet day but I bought a QQ in advance anyway, it was quite cheap. I don't think that table does it justice - where it says the number of rides, does that mean the number of rides that offer it or the average number of rides that you...

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    What makes you choose DCL over any other cruise line, given that they are all similar in terms of all-in costs and minimal planning and are quite possibly cheaper?

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Well, indeed. A lot of roughness can be attributed to poor design and/or age, but generally speaking the forces you feel are deliberate. Airtime is designed-in. Lateral forces (insufficient banking) are designed-in. Being thrown side to side is designed-in. Big Thunder especially has lots of...
