    Ryan Gosling to take the reins in a new Star Wars movie coming out in theaters in 2027

    Those are some very cool trousers he’s sporting there; very 70s postmodern. I dig.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    I’m aware of this. Checkerboard has been around since the Roman Empire, however, its popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries would better evoke the style of this hotel and the era it’s set in.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    Agreed. This pattern of tile laying (herringbone?) was a thing 10 years ago. It was all over HGTV. It dates this area. Black and white checkerboard would have been a more timeless call.

    News Disney’s Boy Trouble: Studio Seeks Original IP to Win Back Gen-Z Men Amid Marvel, Lucasfilm Struggles

    My dad, a 77 year-old Boomer, saw A New Hope in theatres, first run, with his buddies. They were floored by the groundbreaking effects. It was THE movie to see when it was released. Lots of those ticket buyers were adults, like my dad, who later took my mom on a date to see it, years before...

    News Disney’s Boy Trouble: Studio Seeks Original IP to Win Back Gen-Z Men Amid Marvel, Lucasfilm Struggles

    I work retail, and our Zoomer employees will pick New Wave more often than any other genre on our extensive playlist. 90s are popular too, but they argue amongst themselves over genres. When someone turns on the Beatles, they groan. Motown is tolerated. Early 00s is seen as ‘tired’, which is...

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Part of it is motion and screens, in general. Not every screen-based ride, mind you. The screens in Gran Fiesta and NRJ don’t bother me at all. So with MMRR, and with one part of Ellen’s Energy Adventure, it’s certain screen action, especially when combined with motion. The flood/water scene...

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Hi! I’m one of the people who can do 3D shows but not rides, due to hereditary eye problems and inner ear issues. I get terrible vertigo that lasts for hours after. My mom can’t do 3D attractions of any kind. I did Rat and MMRR once each with other people and had to close my eyes pretty much...

    News Disney’s Boy Trouble: Studio Seeks Original IP to Win Back Gen-Z Men Amid Marvel, Lucasfilm Struggles

    I understand and agree with quite a bit of what you’re saying, but it’s even worse that these executives are thinking that, by featuring storylines with ridiculously Mary-Sue-esque, flawless female characters (Rey) but not doing any heavy lifting with plot or character development, they think...

    News Disney’s Boy Trouble: Studio Seeks Original IP to Win Back Gen-Z Men Amid Marvel, Lucasfilm Struggles

    Ok, I’m a woman and some of the comments in this thread are bordering on offensive. Quality content appeals across the board to female and male audiences. The Star Wars sequels were bad because they weren’t well-written or creative or even cohesive; the worst Marvel stuff clearly was churned...

    MK New Beak and Barrel - Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

    I think they’re actually pretty good at this. My bestie and I were at Epcot during Food and Wine a few years ago when she sat down suddenly on the edge of a planter feeling sick. We had been at a trade show in Orlando and were exhausted. We walked into Epcot via the International Gateway...

    News Ketan Sardeshmukh Named New Vice President of Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Just gotta say it: he is super-attractive. Stand back, Josh D’Amaro. Your Ken Doll appeal is no longer needed. A real hottie has entered the chat 😉

    MK New Beak and Barrel - Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge

    I very rarely drink alcohol anymore- kidney issues- but one thing I really dislike about many NA cocktails, and the 2 offered here in particular, is how overwhelmingly sweet they tend to be. It’s easy and possible to make NA cocktails that are balanced; any decent mixologist can do it. Barring...

    General Merchandise: Which Franchise is More Popular/Merchable?

    I bought a Bambi sweatshirt at Old Navy this past winter because it was so cute. I agree, more classic movie merch would be nice. Edited to add- it’s a child’s shirt, but I’m less than 5 feet tall, so it fits fine. I do wish they’d had stuff in adult sizes, however.

    Wearing Mouse Ears Outside Of Disney

    I’m weird, so I’d probably ask the guy when his last Disney Parks trip was, and what the best part of it was. I like talking with people about the parks. But I live in South Carolina, and being overly friendly/talkative with strangers is normal here 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Casey Jr Climbers

    There are good parents and bad parents. We get a lot of families coming into our hardware store on Saturdays, and a fair amount of them basically abandon their 4-12 year old kids when they walk in. It’s such a problem that we now have a code word the cashier says over the walkie as soon as kids...

    'Ironheart' (Marvel Disney+ Series)

    I actually liked She Hulk a lot. We watched it during a bachelorette weekend and all of us were rolling on the floor. The actress was pretty hilarious. It was fun.

    'Ironheart' (Marvel Disney+ Series)

    That’s great to hear- I’ll probably check it out. I loved Ms. Marvel!

    Disney's Tower of Terror

    I saw it on Disney plus and thought the idea was good, but the Rock was a bad choice of lead. They likely figured it would be safer to go for celebrity casting over appropriate casting. It bombed anyway, which is a shame because the right lead could have made it. Look at the Pirates franchise...

    Elio (Pixar - June 2025)

    I rarely watch family/kids movies unless I’m dealing with an ocular migraine, and not in the theatre since I was in my early twenties. That’s not judgement, I rarely go to the movies, in general, since they closed the independent one I liked. That said, Gatto looks so cute (kitty!) that if...

    just how bad is All Star Sports..

    Sports is the only value I've experienced. We mostly stay deluxe. That said, I thought it was surprisingly charming. We stayed in the tennis section on a glorious fall day and ubered to and from Epcot. Tennis is the only sport I know. I spent my 20s in Days Inns and Comfort Inns and Quality...
