    News Flights of Wonder closing and replaced by 'UP! A Great Bird Adventure'

    Saw the show on Sunday, the day it officially opened. It was a bit rough in places (live performers interacting with a recording), but overall, it was acceptable. After the cast gets comfortable with the cadence, that will be fine. Personally, I'd edit a bit of Doug's routine as there was...

    EPCOT Updates to the Seas Pavilion

    The TLC mentioned, was certainly noticeable to me when I visited The Seas (w/ Nemo & Friends) this past Tuesday (4.24). The main tank was especially clear, and there appeared to be a greater variety of fish in said tank. Dolphins were back, after what a keeper said was a 6 month move to an off...

    DHS RUMOR!-Fantasmic! to recieve updates or be replaced by 2020.

    Saw Fantasmic last Monday (4.23) for the first time in a year or so, and to me, it appears as it's had some $ thrown it's way. Projections were the clearest I've ever seen them. Effects that used to barely work or didn't work at all, were all working-all 8 Poco torches on canoes worked and...

    News Sweet Spells to close for Toy Story store?

    This would make the perfect opportunity to re-open Starring Rolls as the sweet center of DHS....Starring Rolls is still sitting empty, correct?

    Some quick thoughts from my trip yesterday

    Lets hope that the deforestation crew from WDW's MK hasn't been relocated to DL. Most of the old growth at DL is awesome, although sometimes when the landscapers wait too long, a tree can't be pruned without looking odd. I fear most of the huge growth around NOS is past the point of meaningful...

    Any new info on the Mark Twain?

    Is the Mark Twain ever going to make a return to DLP? I know that the riverboat was in really bad shape, but haven't heard any recent news regarding any plans for refurbishment (or whether it's gone for good?). Just throwing this out there....any insiders know of it's condition or a possible...

    Dumbo & Main Street Updates

    Just saw a picture on my FB newsfeed of the completed project...although it didn't mention if the short spur that heads backstage was done.

    Enhanced Dining Experience Coming to Be Our Guest Restaurant

    Oh....I agree with you, but as a former restaurant owner/operator, they were acutely aware of what I saw on just two visits and I'm sure they're just making sure they're not leaving ANY money on the table. The fact that it's a restaurant with a high demand, it would make sense for Disney to...

    So after calculations, the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan is cheaper

    We did the DDP WAY back in 2006. We paid $32.99 pp (which was one quick serve and one table serve) and it INCLUDED tips. I believe we also received two snacks per day and the table service included both app and dessert. There also were not 2 credit dining experiences, every table serve was...

    Enhanced Dining Experience Coming to Be Our Guest Restaurant

    I've only been able to get into BoG twice for dinner. Once was with my own reservation, and once with someone else. On both those occasions, I found myself really irked at the number of parties I saw ordering next to nothing. My first visit, the table next to me (a table of six), ordered just...

    Early 1970s Tomorrowland

    It's actually both buildings....from the angle of the photo, the ladder at the end of the PeopleMover track is just above the current Buzz entrance. Follow that piece of track to the light pole, and the PM takes a hard left turn. The balance of PM track you can see is the Flight to the Moon...

    Early 1970s Tomorrowland

    That is true....just two attractions, but America the Beautiful (Circle Vision 360) and Flight to the Moon were open before the end of the year. The addition to the southern, Circle Vision building, was getting started too (future home of "if You Had Wings"). Although the PeopleMover station...

    Tokyo Disneyland maps

    Sorry for the bump, but I was finally able to resolve the TDL skyway questions although it took just short of 13 years. I finally found an image of a pre-opening map of TDL, and indeed, it shows the skyway with it's two stage design. As we know, it opened as a straight shot from the other end...

    News Liberty Square Riverboat closing for long refurb

    Let's hope they don't drop her, like the Admiral was so long ago.....

    News The Hall of Presidents is now open

    Trump or no Trump, it's good to see the HoP pulling in guests. That's roughly 1500 guests per hour that won't be lined up for other attractions during the coming holiday week!

    News The Hall of Presidents is now open

    Seems like there should be a better closing....when the curtain dropped, I felt like I'd missed something. As far as Trump goes, the speech was short and to the point, and non political, as it should be. I was prepared to cringe, but didn't.

    News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

    Since Friday evening, I've watched HEA on YouTube from quite a few different sources and each time I've found something that heightens my anticipation of seeing it in September. On first viewing, (the "official Disney" coverage-which by the way, I feel is the weakest), I thought the show was...

    News Wishes to be replaced with new 'Happily Ever After' nighttime spectacular

    Always felt as if Wishes was a reaction to Believe, There's Magic in the Stars....and it never "did it" for me. Wishes had huge periods of darkness with just narration which to me was a flow issue. Jiminy was the saving grace of the show for me. When I saw initial previews of HEA, I was...

    New MK welcome show debuts Jan. 9th

    For the railroad fans, here's another plus to the discontinuation of the current Welcome Show. Presently, the WDWRR uses one set of passenger cars specifically for the Welcome Show-they don't have railings on the left side of the cars so the performers can get out on the lagoon side. Once the...

    Carousel of Progress exterior refurbishment

    These signs actually beat the main sign to the punch....they were there during my visit, Sept 15-19.
