So there's this park in the Netherlands called "Efteling", and it's freaking amazing. The equal, IMO, of any Disney park except Tokyo's, yet it has its own brand of magic. It had an attraction called "Spook Slot", at which guests would enter a creepy mausoleum and enter a room where a huge stage...

I'm asking because I'm horrified about the condition of the Ariel animatronic in the beginning of the ride - the one who sings "Part of Your World". Apparently, it started malfunctioning some time ago and has never been fully repaired. In the video below, you can see how bad the figure was...

From Disney vlogger Kevin Heimbach. Watch it and weep.

Here's another video by Disney vlogger Kevin Heimbach covering the current state of WDW, which appears to be shabby as hell. Including the Monorail sign that has a huge crack in it and that's been "repaired" with...scotch tape. No, I'm not kidding. Holy crap.

So Kevin Heimback posted a video just now about his May the Fourth experience at DHS. And other things. And hoo boy. This is shameful. I'm booking a trip to Universal this fall. Nuts to WDW right now.

https://www.cartoonbrew.com/law/john-oliver-mickey-mouse-steamboat-willie-227529.html John Oliver even had someone dressed up as the Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse come out on stage - and say things that Disney's Mickey would NEVER say. Kinda funny, but also perhaps a warning about what's coming...

We've all seen videos of various Disney park rides' breakdowns. But this video is really interesting IMO. First of all, the captions are hilarious (apparently the OP's first language isn't English) and secondly, in the carnival/tornado scene, the balloon-head animatronics of Mickey and Minnie...

I doubt I'm the first person who's thought of this, but...I think that Universal would be very smart to build a Hogwarts-themed hotel. I think the public would go nuts. Imagine a hotel that looks like it belongs in Hogsmeade - very gothic and quirky - and, when guests book it, they get a letter...

This guy nails it.

Okay. I think we can all agree that there's a right way to revive an old franchise, and a wrong way. The video below demonstrates the difference. To the mods: this video does have some (hilarious) profanity. But it's PG (in my opinion). If you feel the need to delete it anyway, that's fine. To...

According to the Site That Must Not Be Named, a portion of the facade in front of Keystone Clothiers at DHS fell off today, taking a light fixture with it. The rot is getting worse. Again, didn't Sir Robert Iger once brag on a conference call that he cut the parks' maintenance budget? Thank...

So it's that time of year for Halloween haunts to open. Now, I don't like many haunts, as clever as they are, because they rely mostly on jump-scares and blood. That type of thing annoys and disgusts me, rather than scares me. But then there's Haunted Overload in New Hampshire. Oh. My. Gosh...

So I've been watching some travel vlogs, and the most recent ones that focus on WDW show that, on the Little Mermaid ride, Arial is horrifying. In the "Part of Your World" scene, her eyes are wide open and her mouth barely moves to the words she's singing. She looks like a muppet who's had a...

2 questions: 1. Is this...typical? 2. Didn't Iger brag on an investors' call that he cut maintenance at the parks?

So! Now that cancel culture just lost to Johnny Depp, will "Disney" allow him to be in any more Pirates movies? I say it should. I originally thought that his baggage would hurt the Pirates film series, but after this court case, his street cred is through the roof. His return as Captain Jack...

So there's this park in Germany called Europa. Not long ago, a devastating fire burned down part of the park. One ride, called Piraten in Batavia, was among the casualties. But the family that owned the park was determined that, not only would the ride be rebuilt, it would be built better (what...

So you guys know how most Disney in-park hotels look bland and uninspiring and would fit right in with your average downtown business area in your average city? Take a look at this in-park hotel in Phantasialand, Germany. Prepare to weep, and enjoy your Disney park high prices and cut services...

Okay, so there are these art installations/dark ride experiences called "Meow Wolf" being built in various areas around the U.S. The first one was built in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Recently another installation was built in an actual amusement park - Elitch Gardens, in Denver, Colorado (in this...

So I just watched something on YouTube called The Carpetbagger series. It's about a dude who visits roadside attractions, amusement parks, theme parks etc. And in one episode he went to WDW and rode the Tower of Terror. And sure enough - just like some on this site mentioned - the "Imagineers"...

I want MORE Pirates in WDW, in Adventureland. I want a Pirates-themed restaurant/show at least. I think Disney's fantasy version of pirates is sublime and inimitable. When I walk into Pirates of the Caribbean, I get chills. I'm in another world. If anything Disney owns is a Potter-swatter...
