I have experienced both of these Buzz rides. At DLR it's called Astro Blasters. The rides are nearly identical with one exception; the guns. At DLR, they are on cords that rest in a cradle. When you pull it out of the cradle you can aim it in any direction (in addition to rotating the whole...

Well, this has probably been discussed ad nauseum by now, but I wanted to comment again after visiting a couple of the parks last weekend. My GF and I visited with my son and his GF. We had reservations at AK and MK and hopped on both days (to EPCOT and HS, respectively, we're newly minted...

Agree with your comments. Sitting in the standby line watching HORDES of people march past you who have paid $20-30PP for the privilege of getting on the ride faster feels pretty classist to me. Seriously, if a family of four pays $20 to get on all available marquis attractions they've paid...

This is my first experience with WDW APs. At DLR/DCA, I don't think there was any renewal discount, but depending on when you repurchased, if it was before a full year had passed, you didn't lose the remaining time. That's not really a bonus or discount though. I'll happily accept any...

I'm goin' for the gravy! LOL!

After waiting in a virtual queue for something like six hours (no, I didn't just sit in front of the PC all that time, LOL!), I finally got my APs bought. I went for the top tier because I really don't want to worry about blackout dates. Now that I'm an hour's drive from Orlando, I know I'll...

This response made me LOL! Seriously though, others here think the article is a gag. It isn't. Disney will never pull up stakes in FL because they were here before DeSantis arrived and will be here long after he's gone. He's a political pip-squeak and what he is doing, IMHO, is self-serving...

I have to vote DLR. Not only for the practical reasons others have mentioned in terms of number and scope of rides & other attractions, but also because that's the park I have visited the most and have the deepest emotional connection to. I have made countless memories there with my kids...

Without having read all of the comments on thread, and having voted "I don't care," here are my thoughts on this... EPCOT (the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) has NEVER been what it was originally intended to be. I'm sure no one reading this needs to hear that, but the...

Happily, my children (now both adults) "grew up" at the CA parks. Eventually, we bought a "brick" that was displayed in the quad area (for those who are unaware, Disney sells personalized stepping stones that get laid into the space between the turnstiles for DL and DCA.). Talk about feeling a...

Wow! This was amazing! Thanks so much for sharing. I loved the background and the full video and audio of the ride itself. Was that James Mason (the original Capt. Nemo) narrating? Just awesome! This attraction shares many similarities to the older DL version, and even the updated Finding...

I still need to learn the lay of the land at WDW to make a fair comparison, but totally agree with you that Avengers Campus is an epic fail. Vast "under-treatment" of this incredibly valuable franchise. The Web-Slingers ride is a glorified TSMM and the "land" is laid out terribly with no...

Would you mind elaborating on this, please?

I realize this is an old thread, but as a recent transplant from CA I wanted to comment. The TS "Land" here at WDW is pitiful compared to what they did at California Adventure Park. They don't actually have a TS Land there, but have completely re-themed "Paradise Pier" to Pixar Pier. The...

Sadly, I never got to experience the 20,000 Leagues ride. I have seen pictures of the scuttled subs. Do you know if it was more or less the same as the old Submarine Voyage at DL? (Now Finding Nemo). 20,000 Leagues and Swiss Family Robinson are among my favorite live action, classic Disney...

I'm only semi-retired at this point and definitely not "flush." This year I'll start drawing SS and that, combined with a small retirement income stream I have should make it possible for me to afford the local resident AP (or whatever they are calling them here, Magic Keys at the CA parks). I...

I'm newly transplanted from CA and, admittedly, am spoiled by the constantly evolving World of Color show at DCA. (and yeah, I may be a bit Disneyland biased as I like their Fantasmic show better too.) I like to call it The Bellagio on steroids, but even that doesn't do it justice. They have...

I agree with MickeyCB. While the permits in and of themselves are not interesting to me in the least, it surely does give perspective to the sheer volume of work (by paid contractors) required to maintain the parks and resorts. I think most folks mainly think that it cost a great deal for...

Thanks! My GF is expressing concern over that issue (costume packing/storage). LOL! We need to give this some thought.

Hello Disney Friends. I'm taking my first Disney cruise at the end of May and Pirate Night looks like a fun event. I will be with my GF and my two adult children and their SOs. I haven't found anything at all about the event on the DCL website, but the app talks generally about it, saying (I...
