    MK Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    Just out of curiosuty, what were the ratings on Great Moments in History? Seemed like it was quite popular and always felt like it was a test to see if something bigger could work... yet nothing did come out of it (at least not yet).

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    It's better than Launch Bay... but we all know how fast and loose Disney plays with the term "temporary" (even if they didn't directly say that with regards to this project, which is probably for the better for their sake).

    Universal or Disney in Maryland: A Return Possibility or Just a Pipe Dream?

    Six Flags America in Largo, Maryland will be closing at the end of this season. The total property is just over 500 acres with the current theme park on property taking up only about 150 acres. The park is located just off I-95 in a property zoned for amusement parks and the local city council...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I believe the rational that they had is that the map on the Disney app was already updated with Cars/Villians, but they were just temporarily "hiding" it with a copy/paste of the foliage pattern used around the perimeter of the map that they could then just "turn off" when the respective lands...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    A "Cruella's Closet" store that sells (fake) fur coats would be low key hilarious/amazing...

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

    Also worth considering how few attractions DAK has to offer for when it's raining. Counting Dino, they only have five "all weather" attractions plus two shows. Encanto will add a much needed sixth and (I assume) the carousel will have a large enough cover (and a covered queue) to allow it to...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Geeze, those laydown/staging yards are MASSIVE! the one along the canal (if my Google Maps measurements are correct) is about 18 acres and stretches down to the Adventure Land expansion plot (on the opposite side of the canal of course). The smaller, triangular-ish one is an additional 13 acres...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Far too early for concrete... I don't think the ladder is even on site yet...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Maybe we'll realize that the real villains are the friends we made along the way!

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    "When villians want to get away from it all, they go to Maleficent's Scandles Resort, a lavish resort where they can be themselves without heros around to bother them. On one special weekend, Maleficent invites villians like Uresula, the Queen of Hearts and others to celebrate her 118th...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    I do have to wonder if that's why it's placed so early in the parade... just to get it over with and they put the "heavy hitters" at the end in hopes that is how it's remembered. I mean, the themes of Wish (and the fact that a wishing star is one of the main characters) fits the theme of the...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Floats/Sections: 1. Blue Fairy, 2. Wish, 3. Encanto, 4. Frozen, 5. Coco, 6. Moana, 7. Whimsy (Train) The music for sure has some nods to Spectro (based on the limited parts heard form the teaser)

    Taking off shoes is going away at some airports

    In a move that seems related (but I hadn't seen elsewhere), many larger U.S. airports also do not require you to remove larger electronics from your bags (which was nice for us coming from Dallas two weeks ago because all of our kids had their tablets stuffed in their carryon with tons of other...

    News Stitch Joins Walt Disney World Railroad with New Audio Overlay on Magic Kingdom Route

    Would seem foolish, given that the live action remake of Lilo & Stitch has made (as of today) nearly 1 billion USD world wide, for them to not at least consider (re-)adding a Stitch based attraction of some sort. They have certainly proven that the general public still has a significant appetite...

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    Personal opinion, but I think it's also because "how movies are made" just isn't as interesting as it was >20 years ago. As we have transitioned from practical to digital effects minimizing the use of in camera effects, miniatures, robotics, models, etc, I just don't think you can build an...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    My expectations on that are pretty low (not that my expectations on the actual rides are low, just low expectations on the ride systems). For the alleged dark ride, I'd imagine the ride system is probably locked in at this time and if it was something revolutionary, we'd have seen some patents...
