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

    Just got back from a trip and got to ride this several times. I noticed in the mill scene where the first Tiana is located that there seemed to be some loud machinery noise in there like a bad bearing in a pump, or something like that. Don’t remember this in Splash. Anyone have any info?

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Just got back from an 8 day trip. In the parks every day. Never waited more than 25-30 minutes for anything, and we did every ride in all 4 parks, most multiple times. Didn’t have a problem getting a VQ for Tron, Guardians, and Tiana (meh). We purchased LLMP for one MK day and one HS day, but...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Was just randomly checking wait times, and at almost 11am local time going into a holiday weekend I didn’t see anything over 50 minutes in any park. And that’s Disney wait time, so that 50 is probably closer to 30. We’ll be there toward the end of next week, so I hope the trend holds.

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    Ok. The poster @TrainsOfDisney was responding to is trying to drum up some outrage on this site about something that isn’t happening. I’ve seen a lot of respectful back and forth and folks throwing their 2 cents in like folks tend to do. There’s not some big racist conspiracy going on.

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

    All this talk about adding capacity misses one thing. They don’t want the parks any bigger. That would add infrastructure and maintenance to said infrastructure. It also requires more cast to run. All of that eats into profits. They’d rather cram more people into “underutilized” space than add...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Which means it’ll probably sit there and rot for 20 years like Wonders of Life and several more things I could mention.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    For a one minute ride across the river? How busy and pre-planned is your day?

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    That makes absolutely no sense. You don’t have to plan to stop and enjoy a quiet place in a theme park.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Disney must like the footprints of their parks as-is in Orlando. Any pure expansion adds infrastructure to maintain and more cast to run, thus cutting into the bottom line. There’s really no other explanation as to why they have all that acreage but never seem to give us much of an expansion.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Glad to see you back reading the tea leaves, @marni1971 D23 didn’t seem the same without reading your usual hints leading up to it.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I’m leaning toward Muppets going away for this. They announced where Tropical Americas location will be. They didn’t announce this or Cars, and well, we see how Cars turned out. More disappointment incoming.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    True, but by all accounts GMR needed a ton of work and was stupid expensive to staff and run.

    Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    I never said they weren’t or that MK only got the budget. HS will still be heavily lacking even with the door coaster/MI land, especially if Muppets and Star Tours is on the chopping block. Same with AK after Tropical Americas. Epcot’s “major overhaul” was, uh, something, I guess. Villains Land...

    Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    I’m generally happy with all the WDW announcements. The IP mandate is what it is, so bring on the much needed capacity. What I don’t understand is why they didn’t take the MK budget and spread that around to the other three parks, two of which are terribly lacking. MK will always be the big...

    That should give you pause. I’m getting the feeling they didn’t say how because it won’t be popular.

    Applause was, um, tepid at best for Cars announcement.
