    News Tiana's New Year's Adventure at California Grill ($799)

    What in God's green acres is WDW thinking? $800 a head? How much food can you eat? I just ate at Cali Grill tonight, and I am sorry, I don't care what the waiter told me about their prix fix menu, I have eaten at CG at least a half dozen times and the quality and variety has been going downhill...

    News Disney's Hollywood Studios closing early on October 17, 2023

    See...this is NOT COOL. Treating the parks like a big corporate convention center. Some people save for a long time to make the trip, and they spend a lot of money at WDW. The last thing a family needs to find out is that a park is closing early so that it can be used to welcome convention...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    A lamp post is better than Chapek, but Iger is just as "woke" as Chapek was. He's just been better for the brand.

    WDW Ticket Price Increase

    OUCH!!! This is just one of the many reasons I sold/rented my DVC points this year. Prices climb while many big attractions and alterations are still not done. Great timing.

    Unmagical Day at the Magic Kingdom

    What about just expecting to make same-day dinner reservations in the restaurant of their choosing.

    Tell me your ride breakdown stories....

    Every time I go I get stuck in something. It's actually quite pathetic. Some worse than others. And I am claustrophobic and have constraint issues, so roller coasters, etc. can get ugly if the ride stops. Been stuck on Space Mountain for about 15 min before they turned on lights and we had to be...

    Magical Express

    Just came back last night. What I feel (after at least 5-10 DME trips) is that the buses from airport could run a little more efficiently. They hang out and monitor flights and wait for planes to come in, sometimes leaving passengers sitting and waiting a lot. Also, the bus drivers literally...

    What new attraction excites you the most?

    The TRON coaster will be very cool. The Guardians of the Galaxy structure is just obscene. WAY too large.

    How Long Before Disney Starts Charging Infants?

    This would be the most disgusting thing they could do, to charge a BABY. For what? They're on the lap of their parents for anything they do. They don't eat park food...what kind of message would WDW be sending to parents and kids: We're going to bang you over the head from the day you're born...

    So why weren't there many strollers back in the day?

    Watch videos from 20-25 years ago and people werent saddled up with bags, backpacks, strollers, etc. People seemed to be walking around maybe with a tote bag and that's it. No we seem to carry everything we own just in case. Just in case. Nevermind that you can find just about anything you'd...

    Is staying in Polynesian worth it?

    Have to remember that the Poly is an original resort. They've remodeled and enhanced and dolled it up over the years for sure, but the size and layout of the rooms is still 1971. Elevators, too. I think they tried to make up for that with an outstanding resort outside of your room, but you pay a...

    WDW Attractions & Claustrophobia

    Excellent thread, and one that I think affects more people that we think. We figure, it's Disney, what can go wrong, what's to worry about? Calm down, right? Well, I am a DVC member, have been to WDW too many times to count and for most of my life I have never had an issue on any ride. Rockin'...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    All of that nothingness will represent the collective creative output of the Imagineers. It represents nothing. Which is what's going on in their minds.

    News Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

    Great. The EPCOT FOOD COURT expands some more.

    News Circle of Life at The Land Pavilion permanently closing in early February 2018

    It's terrible. I just spent a week and actually felt really sad re: EPCOT. In a way Future World felt like I was walking through the remains of the 1964 World's Fair. Old original buildings meant to be something totally different than what it is today. Communicore East and West are nothing more...

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    I hope I never have to travel in a cable car. The way stuff breaks down at WDW all I can see is me packed into a car, stuck hanging for 2 hours. No thanks.

    News Monorail Red in motion with guests on board and doors open

    Can't say I am surprised. It's a little unnerving just listening to the recorded narration on board when they talk about the history of the monorail system. Great. Original monorails were replaced with the Mark 4's or whatever back in....the early 1990s???? So imagine driving a 20-25 year old...

    A long time Disney fan turns sour!

    I think there are many valid observations, mostly the fact that we get older, we pile up dozens of visits to WDW and we have deeper reference to fall back on and use to compare experiences and trends. I am someone who made my first visit (that I remember well) back in 1976 and have been to WDW...

    Any examples of 'bad show' from years gone by?

    Interesting discussion. I have been visiting since the mid-70s and within the past 9 years I have purchased DVC property, so I have visited now with my kids about 7-8 times over the past 8 years and it's interesting to see things differently than when I was the kid. Without question the exiting...
