    November '71 Found Footage

    I know people are saying people dressed better then, but really, I don't see where the clothing is any better. I don't want to be wearing button up shirts unless they are tacky/vacation Hawaiian shirts (even then I'm not buttoning them up). Though, it is interesting seeing how little there was...

    WDW's Fantasyland

    I guess this never bothered me. I never noticed any sort of awkward transition between Tomorrowland and Fantasyland. I like the entrance to the Pooh ride, but I guess you may be right about some of the other ones, but it never bothered me much. Though, I do like the way it goes into the new area...

    This is why we go to Disney...

    I have found negativity to be a very common thing with the internet (and to be fair, some things in WDW deserve it, like the current state of Future World) from WDW, movies, video games, tv shows, you name it (the amount of hate on the internet for Batman vs. Superman was intense, and then you...

    Refurbishments at same time!!! - CUSTOMERS AFFECTED

    I mean, it's a pain if you are there at that time (especially with it still being hot out, so crowds that may have split between splash and thunder mountain are all now at splash) but ultimately, I'd rather have them hit a bunch of attractions at once instead of having a lot of downtime...

    TSMM vs Buzz

    I still prefer Buzz. While I do enjoy TSMM, it's the same issue I have with the Pirates of the Caribbean thread going around right now: I don't need CGI rides/video game rides because I already have plenty of that at home. Yes, it's cool to put on the 3D glasses and have at it, but I can get a...

    Does Disney need another big thrill ride?

    For me I would say no. I don't like coasters that much and motion simulator rides get me sick. Yes, I know, I'm like an old man. However, being practical, I'd say yes. People do love them. While I don't go on the coaster or Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios, the lines are crazy for both of...

    Pirates of the Caribbean Shanghai

    I don't like their's at all. Yes, it is all techy and modern, but so much of it relies on screens with CGI images. Maybe it's because I play a lot of video games, but seeing CGI animation like that (which isn't even up to the standards of some modern games) feels like a cheap way to make a ride...

    If It Rains?

    No big deal. The rain is usually not all day. From what I have experienced, it's usually a quick burst of rain or only goes for like an hour or two. Of course there have been exceptions/longer rains but for the most part there shouldn't be any issue. Plus, the longer rains I have been in usually...

    Mickey's Not So Scary HP

    It's a fun time. They have special shows and stuff like that for the event, which is cool if you are into that. It's also kind of cool to see people dressed up (I wouldn't mind going in full Game of Thrones or Doctor Who outfit if I were to go back for it). Basically depends how into it you want...

    Is Shanghai Disney Making Us Look Bad?

    I don't know. The Pirates ride looks like it is a lot of screens and digital footage, which doesn't do much for me (perhaps because I play a lot of video games, so animation like that doesn't do much for me). That said, it is still pretty cool. But it also makes sense they'd have more techy...

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    True, but even so, it shouldn't be a surprise that a place that holds an event or is designed for tourism will have higher prices. And WDW offers better value in terms of food than an Eagles game does. But I do understand your point about the stadiums/arenas having to be maintained (though...

    Why do people defend Disney's snack prices...

    Go to a sporting event or to a Broadway show, the prices for food there are also very high (I cringe when I think of the prices at The Linc where the Eagles play). It's not like WDW hides their prices. You can be fully aware of them ahead of time with some quick research. The trick is knowing...

    I'm so sad

    I don't know, I haven't really noticed any big decline in cast member quality. In my experience, the majority are very good and then there are a few that go above and beyond. Now, there was a lot of issue with the cast members a couple years ago at the entrance of the Beauty and the Beast...

    What WDW Guardians of the Galaxy Rumor you hate more?

    Would make sense to do this to Universe of Energy. It barely has a line most of the time and is tucked away in a corner. It's nowhere near to being a must do ride for most people. Now, I don't agree Guardians of the Galaxy should be in Future World, but there's no denying it would bring more...

    Swimming in the World Showcase Promenade

    Only time I saw anything like this there was one night back in Frontierland. All the water was rushing down the hill to the entrance of Splash Mountain and then building up. Though, not as severe as this. Though, it would be cool to experience the park with rain/flooding like this thread shows.

    Why Do People Struggle So Much With Snack Prices?

    Compared to some other places, their prices aren't bad at all. To get a large soda at The Linc (Eagles stadium in Philly) is nearly $11 a person (always amazes me how many beers people get there, I think a Miller Lite - which by itself is awful - is around $8 a cup/bottle, and there are people...

    Are Character Overlays Really the Problem with Epcot's Decreasing Quality?

    It's more the fact that Future World is somewhat abandoned in areas. Innoventions isn't really innovative and feels like a waste of space (not much to do in it). Shut down Wonders of Life Pavilion. Getting rid of Horizons for the now-not-so-popular space simulator. The pavilion with the Figment...

    IS THIS YOUR LAST TRIP?

    I was there when there when, if I'm not mistaken, there were working studios. The problem is, at least with the back lot tour, things started to go away, and it hit a point when nothing at all changed (this was a few years before it went away, if I saw that ball cage from Pirates of the ship...

    My first evac

    I too was evacuated from the TTA, and around the same spot you were actually (I was at the part right before you go into the tunnel to go to Space Mountain. Was pretty cool, but it was cooler when I saw the lights on Space Mountain as I rode by on the TTA.

    IS THIS YOUR LAST TRIP?

    I chose not to vote because I don't think it is sub par quality. I've been there quite a few times and while things have changed, I don't feel like we're getting less. Yes, the New Fantasyland expansion was a little underwhelming at first, but now I can't imagine that area being any different...
