    News EPCOT Parking Plaza refurbishment?

    Let me put this in perspective. The parking lots provide proportional space equal to what a park can handle. The greater the size of the park the greater the size of the parking lot. Universal prior to their garages had a much smaller amount of people in the parks due to less parking. Thanks to...

    News EPCOT Parking Plaza refurbishment?

    God I hope you are not suggesting disney consider a parking garage like universal. Its bad enough having that many people in the park at once when the parking lot is full but doubling it or more could be quite insane.

    Scentsy and Walt Disney World are bringing a new guest experience within Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom

    This could be interesting. All kinds of smells. Anything from roses to dumbo's stink bombs. Maybe this is a chance to know what some characters smell like. Does mickey smell like cheese or money? Does goofy have a goofy smell? Does the little mermaid smell like fish? Disney might even be able to...

    News May 4th 2024 at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Alas disney has undervalued and underestimated how great those events were. I still have a mini jabba plush toy from that event. People still ask where I got it but sadly few believe that star wars was once so popular that disney dedicated most of mgm studios just to star wars for a few weeks...

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    I wonder if they will consider reviving the fun to be free tagline. At the very least they should bring back some of those old animatronics. At the very least the manly centaur and the giggling girl will get some good chuckles.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    A couple thoughts: 2 encanto attractions in the future. The question now is which is the ride and which is the show. My money is on an encanto ride at MK and a show at AK. The slot at AK is just big enough for a decent show space plus if they do axe the nemo attraction nearby then it leaves...

    News Tornado Watch issued for the Walt Disney World theme parks areas April 3 2024

    Driving in some spots heading south is a little scary as the sand has picked up to some degree that you get a little mini sand storm when heading south towards lakeland. I was expecting to be driving through a rain storm but instead of a sandstorm.

    News New 'Forces of Nature' acrobatic show debuts at EPCOT

    When I first saw this I thought it might be a hold over from the early plans for pixie hollow at Magic kingdom. She almost looks like tinkerbell and those do seem like pixie outfits. It almost seems like something you would see in a 1920s burlesque show.

    New eats coming to Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano on April 1

    I gotta agree on maggianos though they have kind of shrunk their portions compared to what it use to be. Still some of my favorite pasta of all time but now entrees are almost of similar size to Chili when in truth it use to be so large you could get one and it was enough for 2 or even 3 people...

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

    Sadly its a lot worse than you realize. The dinosaur animatronics are breaking down. They don't work like they use to. They are pulling the same disco yeti tricks as they employ at Expedition everest. Replacing them is tricky because the technology is now antique compared to the modern tech...

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

    Disney has been testing the waters on this for years. Stage shows. A supposed broadway musical. And now a small production to see how it works on a limited stage. They even have a big event on disney plus to also test the waters...

    https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/magic-kingdom/news/05mar2024-new-encanto-entertainment-experience-coming-to-walt-disney-world.htm All the clues I have seen so far point to it. They are taking the same approach with the lion king where you start with stage production, followed by a limited...

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

    Encanto will be a show. They are taking the same approach they did with the lion king. Test it on a small scale to see if audiences like it. If it works then they go full scale. If they do not then they will keep it small scale and likely stick it in the old finding nemo attraction at AK. As...

    News 2024 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival

    Good to see the wicked witch of the west showing her more pleasant side. It looks like a cross between wicked witch of the west and the joker. Wait did the joker get busy with poison ivy?

    News Disney partners with Epic Games to launch gaming and entertainment universe tied to Fortnite

    If you are referring to their game sales, its not working out as well as you think. Epic is getting a lot of flak from developers for practically giving away their games just to keep people on the platform. Add in that some of the games being added are very old games, games created with ai, game...

    News Disney partners with Epic Games to launch gaming and entertainment universe tied to Fortnite

    Its not just for the parks. When you invest in a company to that degree you get access to a lot of IPs. Remember that its not just mario but also donkey kong and anything else universal makes a deal with them on. What is real elephant in the room is when they suddenly decide to go with pokemon...

    News Disney partners with Epic Games to launch gaming and entertainment universe tied to Fortnite

    Did I say it was for the theme parks? No I did not. You made a huge assumption so I will explain so you can understand why this is a bad mistake. Just leasing the unreal engine is suitable enough as there are plenty of great developers that can create fantastic games. The problem is unreal like...
