    News Walt Disney Imagineering to launch new series 'We Call It Imagineering'

    Ehhh, Josh D'Amaro, I could take or leave. (I don't think the guy would know a strong animatronic show if it punched him out in the parking lot, but that's for happy hour.) Still, there's a part of me that wonders if maybe there is a bit more editorial leeway they're hoping to enjoy by releasing...

    News New Buses Debut With Features to Better Accommodate ECV/Wheelchair Users

    No one said they were, but in this case, the difference is stark. (Has been for a few years, now.)

    News New Buses Debut With Features to Better Accommodate ECV/Wheelchair Users

    I saw a post on social media that put it well... Universal revealed an immersive, expansive theme park world... Disney revealed a rat bus.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I don't imagine they're renowned for their proclivity toward shared custody.

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    Has there been a confirmed date for the attraction's reopening?

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I was at AK on Saturday, landed around 4:00. The lot looked full driving in, but they were refilling parking lanes right up next to Preferred when I got in. Lots and lots of empty spaces within the rows, and lots of people leaving even then. Kilimanjaro Safaris was a walk-on right up until it...

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    Could be. I thought they finished whatever they were hoping to get done, rather than left it hanging (or dripping).

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    If I remember correctly, roof work went on a few years ago, well before the pandemic.

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    I don't know that Habit Heroes was about politics so much as it was about taking an entirely ignorant perspective on fitness itself and giving it some real estate in Innoventions. There are plenty of people out there who are happy to forego any kind of detail or thoughtful analysis before...

    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    In Orlando, it kind of flowed through whatever they didn't elect to take down after the WDW 50th. There wasn't much to break up the span between the two. Complete bumble.

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    That beautiful Little Golden Book makes the whole park look worse. They even fit in Tony Baxter and Walt Peregoy, fer cryin' out loud. (I wasn't crying out loud, but I had to take a moment when I found it, because I wasn't ready for it when I was already Having A Day.)

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I don't know if this has come up (read: I'm not reading through 193 pages to find a reference to this that might not exist), but there's now a Little Golden Book themed to Figment, and it's surprisingly full of classic EPCOT Center references and scenes from the original ride. (Dreamfinder is...

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    Admittedly, Buzz has looked rough for a while. Fluorescent paint on flats stops being fun show after a decade or so. (For that matter, so do cheap plastic optical effects to make a fake toilet flush upside down...)

    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    Part of me says yes, it's a fizzle. The other part of me thinks that $20 for a coffee mug is exceedingly inflated, and that $10 would constitute a reasonable price with intent to sell. It says something unfortunate when the discount ends up drawing down to what would be a decent initial price.

    News 2023 EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays

    I stopped in for a few hours last night. It did my classic EPCOT heart some good to see Soarin' with a fifteen minute (actually near walk on) wait and the Glittering Greenhouses with a wait near fifty minutes. For me, that's the best light display on property, especially because it's done by...

    News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

    I thought that was Lynne Thigpen, not Phylicia Rashad.

    Food price increase? October 2023

    I only just got to F&W the other day, and it did seem that prices were up more than a little at the kiosks.

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Which is what I mean, really. Sure, all this nice stuff shows up in the blue sky, but once budgetary constraints come into play, the offering will be reduced to... what? I'm thinking a popsicle stand and a gift shop with a capybara enclosure.

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    The question I keep coming back to is what happens when the budget gets cut from where it's supposed to be now. I feel like that's a given.
