    News Disney CFO Christine McCarthy says Disney will continue to focus on existing intellectual property for new park investments

    I’m not sure what you are upset about. Disney says they will use Disney+ viewing metrics to inform experiences in the park. You don’t provide any viewing metrics but somehow feel left out of providing viewing metrics. What is it you wish Disney was doing here?

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    You made a poor assumption. I had already read up. htaylor1918 didn’t insinuate anything (and also quoted nobody) and instead stated a fact: ”MGM was built before Universal studios”. As I said before, regardless of the reasoning behind the post, that is a fact. You called them out to get their...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Hmm, not really sure who needs to get facts straight here. htaylor1918 didn’t post anything factually incorrect in the part you quoted, at least as far as I can see. Regardless of if MGM was in response to Universal it still opened first, so that's correct. Also, AK opened in 1998, on Earth Day...

    News Gotta Pay2Play: Paid FP on the way!

    Sounds great! I hope it's rolled out in time for my Club Level stay at Yacht Club next month. I don't like the FP+ system at all, I think it's terrible compared to original FP. But doubling what I can currently get would be fantastic, especially if there are truly no strings attached...

    Pace Makers?

    See my reply from 2010 above, nothing has really changed. I'm a little older than you, also very active (I close my rings every day ;) ) have had a pacemaker for over 15 years and, again, my heart rate can get very low (I get 'false alarms', sometimes I get paced while I'm sleeping because my...

    new Star Wars-motion sickness

    Well, you're getting mixed results! :) I never felt any motion sickness on the original Star Tours. My wife did, however, and now won't ride most motion based rides. I went on Star Tours 2.0 in October for the first time and felt just a tiny bit queasy when I came off. Not enough to need...

    What is the best way from Boardwalk to WDW Speedway?

    I'm not worried about the $10 :) So, taxi it is! Thanks for your input everyone. Lastly, should we take the taxi to the TTC or will they go straight to the Speedway? Also, I lucked out on this one. My friend convinced his wife to buy him the package for his birthday. Once she agreed he...

    What is the best way from Boardwalk to WDW Speedway?

    My friend and I just reserved spots for the Exotic Driving Experience at the Walt Disney World Speedway. We'll be staying at the Boardwalk Villas and won't have our own transportation. Our scheduled time is 8 AM and we're supposed to arrive at least 15 minutes early. I suppose we could...

    Kodak Bankrupt

    This That was the first thing I thought, also! Then I thought (and not that it matters, really) is Fuji Film doing any better that Kodak? I realize Kodak's problems are greater than not having much of a film market in a digital world but I don't see Fuji anything these days. Side...

    Would it be in Disney's best interest to clone Toy Story Mania right next door?

    I agree it won't ever happen. As was mentioned above, it would cost money to build it. Sure, it could potentially save us some time in line but how would that benefit Disney? It's probably better for Disney to have crazy long wait times and get-my-FASTPASS®-early-but-have-to-return-late...

    Best Bathroom?

    Well, If you're planning a trip at the end of February, as I am, then I would suggest only going to Universal. Thanks in advance.

    Disney ring tones?

    On a Mac and with an iPhone? If you are on a Mac you can use Garageband to create custom ringtones from your iTunes songs or from movie files. It's a little easier than doing it in iTunes. Open the file (you can drag and drop them) in Garageband, use the controls to split the audio where you...

    4 hours until I land in my happy place

    Wait. Am I reading this right? Your most favorite place ever is Orlando International Airport? I will admit I would never have guessed that.

    Sleeping Wife and Daughter. Who deals with this?

    I run into that too On a week trip to Disney I'm lucky if I can get my wife out the door by 8 just one day. Usually we aren't having breakfast until about 9-9:30. At first I was frustrated but now I'm alright. She likes to sleep late on vacation. Usually during the week she has to be up...

    Booked Trip with AP now AP is expired. Is this OK?

    So I should be good then. I'm planning to get another on this trip, it just didn't make sense with future trip timing to renew. Thanks,

    Booked Trip with AP now AP is expired. Is this OK?

    I booked my upcoming trip using the AP discount and staying on-property. In the time between booking and the trip my AP has expired. I plan to purchase a new AP when I arrive (actually I was thinking toward the end of my trip). Will this be a problem when I check in at the hotel? I...

    Monorail expansion pieces actually built

    Not arguing How do you know that's a footing? To me it just looks like something that is indefinable. Do you have any other information you are going by or can you show any other examples of footings that are clearer?

    Persian Resort site

    Nice. Any idea what resort is at 12:00 a little further than GF? Side note: I'm actually pretty happy all these other resorts haven't popped up around MK and on the monorail line. I like having the Deluxe Resorts spread out over the property more as they are today.

    Persian Resort site

    Ahh, I see. I guess I was thrown off by this: The site I was referring to seems closer to the monorail so I figured that's what he was talking about. Plus, that area looks like it has a dock (or something) on Bay Lake, as a resort would probably have. Also, that retaining pond area seems...
