    New 350 room DVC tower coming to Disneyland Hotel

    Well, despite repeated claims that no more DVC units would ever be built at Disneyland due to restrictions with the Anaheim city government, Disney has filed plans for a 12-story, 350 room DVC tower at the Disneyland Hotel. They say the design will blend in with the other towers. I am surprised...

    News The 'Disney Look' to be further relaxed at Walt Disney World

    Because it’s an electronic communication device and could be distracting- I would equate that to having your phone out. Not because it’s some piece of technology that doesn’t fit the era.. they are using touchscreen cash registers after all.

    News The 'Disney Look' to be further relaxed at Walt Disney World

    No, but I doubt this change would have allowed that anyway. Bracelet does not equal electronic device IMO.

    News The 'Disney Look' to be further relaxed at Walt Disney World

    Again, I'm sure that it will be appropriately managed. The change only referenced "bracelet", not sure an Apple Watch fits that description. I'm sure the fact that it has a screen (receiving text messages, etc) would automatically disqualify it.

    News The 'Disney Look' to be further relaxed at Walt Disney World

    I am truly shocked by the opinions in this thread! Everyone is entitled to their own of course-- just not what I expected. I could care less if someone's beard is 1/2 inch or 1 inch as long as I'm getting good service. I'm confident they won't allow CMs to wear a bracelet promoting some kind of...

    News Epcot Forever to debut as interim show before full Reflections of Earth replacement

    Better than I expected for a temporary show. Overall I enjoyed it. The amount of kid voiceovers was overdone and 100% did not need the Aladdin thrown in, but it's a nice tribute IMO.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    They are obsessed with colons/dashes now. Reflections: A Disney Lakeside Lodge, Toppolino's Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera, Toledo - Tapas Steak, and Seafood, and so on. It's annoying.

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I’m intrigued- it could be beautiful. Obviously don’t like the Moana tie in but hopefully it’s subtle and not in your face.

    News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

    Is that confirmed? I only saw photomatt say he registered with "with an email that belongs to Troy Porter", nothing about a Disney address.

    Ex-Disney accountant alleges major accounting fraud in parks and resorts division

    The fact that DIS stock still closed positive after this news broke signals that institutional investors, who know how to assess these kinds of accusations, don't seem worried. It's never a good thing, but even if some aspects are true (i.e. improperly double counting some gift card spend)...

    News Dismal Q3 Earnings

    That was definitely my thought reading the article. Sounds like his writing style and the article used some phrases like “the weatherman” that he’s used before. Plus I believe he’s said he “works in the industry” (apparently this guy is a consultant to media/ theme park companies) and that he’s...

    Rumor The Wave to become an 'Incredibles Steakhouse'

    While I certainly hope they don't theme the *entire* resort to The Incredibles, I honestly think what we can see so far looks good. I love the artwork and I think the IP is relatively subtle. The carpet color scheme better matches the Mary murals, and I like the light wood framing around the...

    News Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    The food court is much better than the lobby. At least it gives off a minimal mid-century/ Frank Llyod Wright (ish) vibe.

    News Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    I'm sure it's not final concept art but still. When I see the Wilderness Lodge lobby I think nature... this could literally be an airport terminal or something. Hardly brings the word "lodge" to mind.

    News Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    Wow- there are some TERRIBLE new renderings of the lobby. How is this "nature-inspired"?? Incredibly generic and the Pochantas statue is tacky IMO. Remove that, and tell me how this looks remotely Disney.

    News Disney Riviera Resort announced

    It's grown on me somewhat. I still find the lobby incredibly dull and the scale of the lobby is too small for a "grand resort", but the rooms are gorgeous no doubt. The outside is a little better than I expected. I think an underappreciated advantage is dedicated bus transportation to MK and...

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    Really hope this is true. The permit is pretty vague though, just "dewatering"... could it just be related to removing the personalized bricks? Maybe that's just what they call the "path to nowhere" even though it doesn't go all the way to GF.
