I was in the MK park the day they did filming for this year's 40th anniversary parade. We found a spot to watch the parade itself just across the bridge to Adventureland (so sort of at the left-rear of the castle). We could see the backs of several characters dancing in the Hub periodically...

I agree that if you haven't seen the movie the ride isn't as "good" or fun. But, my GF has never seen either Tron film and she LOVES the ride. The ride certainly makes more sense if you've seen the film. It's not a "race." It's a battle to the death. LOL!

I'm very sorry to hear of your fear. While Florida may be "politically" unfriendly to the LGBTQ community, Disney is not. In fact, one of Disney's 5 core "keys" (values) is Inclusion. I agree with others here who say to just go for it.

Yeah, all of that stuff comes from the film. In both Tron films, the lightcycles don't race, they are in a battle of life and death (or, in the case of the "programs" piloting them, deresolution.). As for the ride itself, I love the initial acceleration and the trip through the game grid.

I think the Tron coaster is pretty fun all on its own. I agree it's a short ride and it's better at night. I would add to that, however, that the enjoyment of the ride is increased if you're a fan of the film. (Tron Legacy) The ride "story" is right out of the movie. =]

Having ridden both rides, I'm for going Indy all the way. I would also include the long and elaborate ride queue which has some cool interactive elements. As for my "reasoning," I just think the Indy version of the ride experience is more fun and relatable whole dinosaur theme.

Agree! Single day/park tickets are just too expensive. When you get multi-day tickets/hoppers, that's when the value kicks in. As for things to do at EPCOT (to the OP), since the World Showcase is the "main" feature of the park, there are ride attractions worth doing. Ratatouille, some of...

"Unpopular opinion" is a subjective thing. For example, my opinion of upcharge events (MNSSHP and the Xmas parties at MK and HS) is that they are just not worth the money. I think it's ridiculous to charge people obscene amounts of money for less than a full day in the park with marginal...

I think characterizing the company as being in a "tailspin" is a pretty grand exaggeration. From what I've read, their biggest concern right now is the streaming service(s). Their most recent financial report is publicly displayed on their website: HERE. I have an opinion like everyone else...

Yes, Pirate Island was formerly TS Island. The fort is still there. They have added pirate touches all over the area. I haven't spent much time there but someone who has has posted about being able to search for coins that are hidden in the area. Interestingly, the Davey Crockett Canoe...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in business or online subscription services. That having been said, I have an opinion. LOL! From what I have read D+ is not necessarily not PROFITABLE, but is losing subscribers. Why? Well, maybe it's because they are not introducing enough new content to...

I don't think Disney and Vegas are very comparable. Especially in the context of "budget." Disney is a single entity doing things all over the world. Las Vegas has numerous corporate entities (many own more than one casino/resort) so the money is coming from different places. Also, despite...

Interesting that you're mentioning two attractions that have both changed at DL. Country Bear Jamboree is now the Pooh ride and Tom Sawyer Island has been Pirate Island for years now. Are they improvements? Not really, IMHO.

There are lots of "good" Disney villains. I gotta go with Hades too (as many others here have). He's deliciously evil, but has a great sense of humor. Extremely well cast in James Woods. LOL!

Not sure if you ever got an answer to this outside the forum, but I just interviewed for a position w/Disney and perks were discussed. Main Gate passes are good at all parks worldwide EXCEPT Tokyo Disney Sea (so no to Japan). Hope this helps.

True dat! Hopefully the formal offer will come within the week period mentioned by the recruiter, but he doesn't control that aspect so yeah...waiting. =]

I'm commenting on my own post because the Admin moved it and IDK if those following it were notified. Seems buried now. LOL! Anyway, if you were following this thread, I added to it last night. Please see above. =]

I'll update or comment on this thread regarding my success/failure getting in. I'm pretty excited and optimistic though.

I like both rides but voted Tron here. Love Aerosmith and think the Rockin' Roller Coaster is a solid ride, but I'm more into Tron and the integration of the ride with the Legacy film is cool. The ride simulates the light-cycle battle you see in the film. I love the launch on Tron. It...

Whelp, I did it! I applied to work in the parks as a Security Cast Member yesterday. This will sound silly, but after working in multiple "careers" during my lifetime (I'm 62), and being semi-retired now, I consider this my "dream job." As a lifelong Disney fan (Like many of you, I grew up...
