Spoke with one front-line CM about the now-concluded test at Anna/Elsa, and he felt it was a disaster from the front line point of view. From that I infer (and would have expected anyway) that people got irate when they walk up midday (passes were gone before noon) and there is *NO* way to meet...

The Meet-Minnie line at DHS, which has been open for half a year or so, has only one doorway and only one line, and there are touch points at the entrance. So if they decide to turn on FP+, I don't see how they could physically do standby also. Maybe through the exit?

That construction has been going on for some weeks now; saw it from the train about a month ago. It can't be a walkway since it dead-ends at the train tracks. My best guess would be something for Harambe Nights or other infrastructure of the land. It's way too wide for a walkway and way too...

My video was current, yes (taken on Saturday) - the envelope vehicle was out for some reason. It was being winched up to the next tunnel by about 8 workers; I can only surmise that a single car like that "valleyed" on that spot as it didn't have enough weight/potential energy to make it up that...

MiceAge. I haven't tried in a few years. I first tried in 2004 and was promptly not added to the list :) I sent a second email in... 2009 maybe? But the email back was obviously negative.

Nope, not on the gravy train - still not invited to media events. EDIT: I should further clarify that being invited to press events was always in the category of "would be nice" for the purpose of interviews and taking photos, but never really necessary. The food and drinks would not be the...

The moat system offers an excellent way to imagine a parade bypass - go UNDER the parade.

There is little doubt that some rides are experiencing longer lines to redeem the FP+ (Safari was advertised as 15 minutes yesterday, and the line started at the Dawa Bar, to give only one example). But the effect is not evenly distributed. I've seen long redemption lines at Space Mtn, Thunder...

Thanks Empress Lilly!!! I'm cooking up a second edition to that book, actually, with more than 100 new additions. But it may be second to the finish line. It's in a race with a brand new book concept. Be that as it may, we are in a golden age in WDW for tributes. Today's Imagineers are...

The data I am curious about is total usage. If the lack of paper FP tickets in front of the attractions means that some folks simply decided "the heck with it, let's wait in standby since we're right here already and the line is only 25 minutes," then the December 18 2013 distribution of...

Fun fact: Eisner is one of the the only Disney executive I have ever spied "shopping" the parks without an entourage. It was 1988, and he stopped by my restaurant, bought food, and asked tourist-level questions. I knew who he was immediately but didn't let on. He was there checking on the...

James Cameron's Pandora®: The World of AVATAR® inspired by James Cameron's AVATAR®, AVATAR 2®, AVATAR 3®, and AVATAR 4® featuring the Creative Talents of James Cameron®, Walt Disney Imagineering® and James Cameron® has a nice ring to it. Fixed that for you.

It's now the Swiss Family Robinson soundtrack LP visible on top of the stack.

My definition would only call it an incline if they add/plus something. Simply maintaining what they used to have, keeping up with the stuff that made them famous, would be neither an incline nor a decline. Level. :)

AWESOME!!! hahahaha (what's really going to bake your noodle later is when you realize the team could be writing back and forth to itself, with half of them pretending to be this Kevin person)

A little-known fact: some of the updates you associate with Al were actually written by "the team" long before the news went public that Al had retired.

Not to be a negative ninny, but I heard something two days ago about the WDW budget that sounded similar. I am not pleased if this pans out. Star Wars needs a massive budget if it's to over-impress.

You won't like this story: hand soap in some bathrooms could be more dirty than the toilet water, fecally speaking. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/public-restroom-soap-may-be-dirtier-than-toilet-water-035839590.html

I assume "monorail control" means the ongoing project to convert the trains to automated control, like any other ride at WDW.

Spirit just said he wasn't convinced it was her. And really, how is he supposed to know? The internet makes anonymity easy (at least initially). Look at how many users here don't choose their own name as a username!
