    What is EPCOT now?

    I’d rather walk around Epcot today than just about anywhere else on Earth. Loved it 20 years ago. Still love it today.

    Can I Come Back to the Parks?

    I don’t get what everyone is so upset about. I was there in August, went back in November, and I’m going back in January. I’m still thrilled by the place, as thrilled as I was back in 2003 and as thrilled as I’ve been every year since then - minus pandemic time when we stayed away for 2 years...

    the old feeling is gone.... or at least reduced a lot..

    Beautifully stated. My last two trips over the last four months were wonderful in every way.

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    This ride is a total blast from start to finish. My whole family thought so. Another friend and her party of 16 on a recent trip all thought so. Pretty surprised to hear so many people disliking it. Or actually…. I guess I’m not.

    Where can I go for positive news?

    The internet seems to bring out the biggest complainers. I follow a few websites that pertain to the biggest passions of my life, Disney - specifically WDW, Springsteen and the Grateful Dead. Three institutions at this point. The one thing that is constant across all three and across many...

    Epcot's 40th Anniversary

    250 cakes at $6.49 is like 1600 bucks. Not really a fortune

    Hurricane Ian expected to impact Florida (updates and related discussions)

    I was at Disney when Charley came right through. Pretty crazy. Next day my cousin,who lives nearby came to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge at a great rate. His job, wife’s job, their home and both kids schools had no power but Disney was essentially up and running the next morning around noon, so...

    Guardians Review

    It’s incredible. I can’t even explain just how much fun my family had on this thing. We were hooting and hollering and laughing the whole time. It’s also the music. It’s a HUGE factor. It clearly adds to the fun and since music is such an important element in the films, it makes perfect sense to...

    Another things wrong post

    Hate to always be the positive guy but I just got back from 8 days on property. -we requested a specific room at French Quarter through Touring Plans. Got one nearby. Perfect river view. - A magic band broke on 1st day, asked at front desk if they had replacement. They had none. Saw I was...

    Disney Surprise

    We did this once with a scavenger hunt around the house with the end prize being the box with Disney stuff in it and the card that was the big reveal

    OK, I'm Giving Up!

    I just got back and loved every minute of our 7 days in the parks and 8 nights at French Quarter. I park hopped. I used Genie +. I bought a few Lightning Lanes for Guardians and Resistance. Not happy about it being a paid service now, but it didn't break my bank either. I was at Hershey...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    My bubble and your bubble are two different things. And that's OK. Personally...and once again...this is just my point of view that I'm expressing, you don't have to agree with it, but please don't disparage it...I don't think ESPN when I think of Disney just because they own them. Same...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    I don’t think either of us were walking by with our noses up in the air at all. You think it fits the theme. I don’t. I’m not poking fun at your opinions. It wasn’t a horror. I wasn’t scarred. I just thought it was completely out of place. Here’s another example. While staying at the Yacht Club...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    I join you. Goodbye ESPN! Never went inside. Never wanted to. Last time I stayed at the BoardWalk, I was having an amazing final Disney day at Epcot. It was a Sunday in the fall. We walked back to the room, still full of Disney giddiness to wait for our Magical Express and walked past ESPN to...

    Let's have a bit of a laugh. What restaurant do you secretly enjoy that everyone else thinks you're nuts for?

    I've caught a lot of grief over the years for my love of the San Angel Inn. I don't get it. People say, it's not real Mexican food. I live in New York. Just outside the city. Grew up within the city limits. Plenty of top notch food of all kinds all around me. We love San Angel for the atmosphere...

    Disney Resorts Slowly Being Eroded and Dismantled by WDI, Guest Questioners and Outside Design Firms

    I stayed at The Yacht Club after the redo and have stayed there many times before. I have to honestly say, I had no problems with the place. I thought the older furnishings were looking old and the new room looked fresh and new. It still felt like Disney to me. I've been in many many standard...

    Yacht Club or Coronado

    Personally, I'd spend $500 to stay at The Yacht Club any day over any other resort. It's our favorite. I think the sentiment here is pretty accurate though - if it's Gran Destino vs. Yacht Club, then maybe give Gran Destino a shot. If it's a regular Coronado room vs. Yacht Club, that's not...

    Movies That Don't Get Any Love

    Someone else mentioned Emperor's New Groove - would love to see that in an attraction or area of a park somehow. Hunchback is in Happily Ever After. We were meeting Robin Hood, the Sheriff and Prince John in the Magic Kingdom pretty regularly '03-'05.(guesstimate) Something Atlantis would be...

    Splash Mountain Merchandise

    There's nothing Splash Mountain related on ShopDisney, so my guess is they're trying to get rid of whatever they have in the parks/warehouse and then that's it. Just a guess. There are literally photos of the Splash merchandise on eBay that are so obviously in Frontierland. Didn't even make it...

    Best for a large lively group?

    Went for my 50th in 2018 went 27 people! The only full group meals were Biergarten, Artist Point and Crystal palace - all my choice. Biergarten the night before my 50th once everyone arrived was awesome. Lots of large beers being hoisted. Lots of dancing to the band. We had a bunch of those...
