    The Disneyland Pig Conspiracy

    Gasp! You're right! Just how deep does this pigpen go?

    The Disneyland Pig Conspiracy

    Rocco Botte, a part of the Mega64 comedy group, has uncovered a Disney Parks conspiracy unlike any other... LABEL YOUR PIGS CORRECTLY DISNEY!! :bookworm::arghh: ... in all seriousness, what a weird coincidence that Disney would label two different Horizon pigs as being Pirates of the...

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

    Mm, I understand this is a common gripe dinosaur fans have about dino depictions. Personally I feel like Dinosaur avoids that. The only dinosaur that hunts you is Carnotaurus, the pterosaur that divebombs you is defending its nest. The rest you just drive by.

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    Perfect! I get in on the 12th. Here's hoping they don't close the line too early, lol....

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    Do we know if that's the day the meteor hits, or if the 12th's the day after and there's nothing left... so to speak? 😉

    News Disney’s Boy Trouble: Studio Seeks Original IP to Win Back Gen-Z Men Amid Marvel, Lucasfilm Struggles

    This isn't something new. Disney has always had "trouble" with the "boy" crowd, so to speak. It's baked into their DNA as a company in tandem with how Americans socialize their young men. Even more man-friendly subject matter from Disney like Aladdin or Hercules is offputting to a lot of young...

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I'm not trying to be combative, but, I'm really not sure what controversies you're talking about. If it's her expressing cultural/political opinions, well, Elon Musk and Obama are still in the American Adventure (and, well, HoP is *right there*); they still get James Woods to voice Hades...

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    Most of the Muppet recasts have been fine with me. Vogel's the odd one out that I'm still not used to at all. Taylor Swift is one of the most milquetoast artists ever in terms of potential controversy. If any "controversy" happens, it'll be a controversy that Disney or whoever their CEO is at...

    News EPCOT's Garden House Kiosk Now Closed, Construction Walls Installed in Japan Pavilion

    I do appreciate them trying out new things relevant to modern Japan, even if previous attempts lasted all of a few months. Helps that this helps bring in some money, maybe without Mitsukoshi getting a cut?

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

    It did indeed. It was apparently one of the earliest changes, even before CTX got changed to Dinosaur. It used to slide towards you, kind of like the final Carnotaurus (that used to be a meteorite).

    DHS Disney Animation-Inspired Experience Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    Oh, and to get things a bit more back on topic, while segue-ing from AK talk. . . Do you all think they will/should remove the Animation Academy from Rafiki's now that there will be one back in Studios?

    DHS Disney Animation-Inspired Experience Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    Dinoland covered an extremely broad subject: dinosaurs as a whole. Dinosaur/Countdown covered the actual extinct animals. Restaurantasaurus and the Boneyard covered the paleontology aspect. Dino-Rama covered the pop-culture conception of "dinosaurs". The roadside tourist trap is an important...

    DHS Disney Animation-Inspired Experience Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    Hm, I wonder how much the new animation experience will take from the DCA animation building. It's a nice place to relax for a while. Would be nice if they have something like the lobby there where you're just surrounded by Disney songs and concept art. It's surprisingly effective for something...

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

    The funny thing about phobias is that they are defined as an irrational fear. A lot of people with phobias logically understand they're irrational. Their brains just instantly put them in fight or flight mode when they run into the subject of their phobia. It takes a lot of exposure therapy to...

    Animal Kingdom - Wait Times added for Walking Trails

    To add to what @JIMINYCR said, remember that when the tiger cub first got put on exhibit, they had to limit the number of people going through the trail, leading to the second longest line in the park after FoP. Having wait times built in in-app is useful for such instances.

    AI on Billboards

    Is it even AI? It just looks like CG renders to me. Only Simba looks all that weird to me and I think that's because they're using the FotLK puppet as reference. There was a similar image Disney put out a few years ago people though was AI but it just looked weird because they used the park...

    DHS Mando and Grogu Join Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

    I wonder if having so many potential destinations and possibilities might actually make Star Tours irrelevant. People were saying it was post-MFSR, but that didn't last long.

    I'll just say: Be thankful this is the current state of Dinosaur. If you had gone a year ago, two years ago. . . woah boy it was dire. I'm glad you got to see it one more time though.
