    DHS Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular Boulder Incident

    For what it's worth I never really bought that walking through the dining area of a closed quickservice restaurant transports me from a turn of the last century small town main street into the future-that-never-was either but sometimes you gotta just sort of roll with it. 🤷‍♂️

    News Sprinkles Cupcakes Disney Springs Location Reportedly Facing Imminent Closure

    Not sure that has a broad enough appeal to survive in a general high-tourist area like this. I mean, look at Bongos - or you know, I guess don't since it's gone. Personally, I'd love it but I've yet to meet an out-of-state person who has the foggiest idea what a Cuban sandwich is unless they've...

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    That and to try to make how much slower the line moves seem a little less obvious. That seems to be the biggest issue to me with standby lines. Not just the increased wait time but the increased wait time not moving and doing nothing. It's incredibly tedious, especially in places like Test...

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    You know, they tried. 🤷‍♂️ It's funny because I feel like all of that would have worked a lot better at the exit to the ride rather than in the queue. Like if it were an optional interactive area people could explore at their leisure or completely walk straight through the middle of and...

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    I can sort of get behind the stairways to nowhere at the start. The jiggling spiderweb scene it replaced always looked kind of less-than-Spirit-Haloween to me. I know there's not a lot of space to work with there so while I have no emotions for the stairs at all, I see what they did there with...

    Pretty sure that opinion is shared by TDO so I think you're safe.

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one word to you? 🤔 Dude, you spelled something weird and then people had some fun with memes and you keep doubling-down for some reason. What did you expect to have happen when you take yourself so seriously on a Disney fan forum? You keep trying to...

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    Nobody bats an eye because that's not an abbreviation, it's an initialism (though it would normally be done with capital letters). It's like saying FBI or NBC - each letter is the first initial of a word. That's not the same thing as misspelling a word as another word intended as some sort of...

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    That's a whole lotta writing to justify misspelling a word for alleged brevity. :oops:

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    I really wish they'd stop "improving" the mansion and channel some of that lower budget energy to attractions that could actually use it like Peter Pan's Flight (will we ever get the 20 year old DL upgrades?), the show scenes in People Mover including the now pitch black Space Mountain segment...

    News Walt Disney Imagineering Files New Haunted Mansion Permit for Set Installation

    For a company that describes themselves as doing interesting cool stuff, their "gallery" is pretty boring and full of "corporate" work (though the work seems really professional). Wonder if it's a case of them not being able to advertise their theme park projects.

    News Gideon's Bakehouse May Be Cooking Up New Venture at Disney Springs

    I'm sure there will be plenty of people excited for another place to buy booze. That just killed all interest in this project for me, though. 🤷‍♂️

    News Gideon's Bakehouse May Be Cooking Up New Venture at Disney Springs

    I'm thinking this could either be a merch location or a pre-order pickup location or both. They have a fairly extensive amount of merch online you can't get at either existing location. I think there's definitely enough interest in the branding and theme to support such a walk-in style shop. I...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    Your son and I could hang. The Bambu A1 Mini is the printer I wish could have been my very first printer. (I recommend the combo with the AMS lite, even if you're not planning much or any multi-color printing -it's useful for more than that and you save about $100 by getting them together) FDM...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    Honestly, my suggestion would be to learn from my mistake and start with FDM first. Resin has a lot of advantages when it comes to fine detail but you'll find yourself limited almost entirely to only ornamental objects going that route. You're dealing with toxic chemicals that you're not...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    I suspect many people here have never made a real effort to focus heavily on the background elements of scenes in attractions like Pirates of the Caribbean and Spaceship Earth at WDW. ... and why would they? We're not supposed to. The scenes are intentionally designed to draw our focus to the...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    I wish the artifacts in the temple scenes were made from real gold, too but Disney works off the Hollywood model of if it's cheaper, faster, safer and/or more durable to imitate, that's what they generally do, everywhere - similar to how the boat in the Venetian scene of Spaceship Earth is not a...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    Every construction/manufacturing technique has pros and cons compared to others. Same with materials. That's all this is - just a different manufacturing technique. The article explains the advantages of this pretty clearly so if you haven't read the whole thing, I'd suggest it. What would you...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    More or less, yes if you're just taking someone else's design. If you're designing your own in CAD or general 3D design software, that's a talent and skill of it's own but to get a sense of what people design and give away for others to use (usually for non-commercial use, only*) for completely...
