    New Florida law addresses "fake" service animals with possible jail time

    "Miniature horses" were mentioned during a meeting about service animals, so I asked what the deal with them is. Apparently they are often used by people with balance issues. Why that is better and less trouble than some sort of cane a la Carl Fredricksen from Up!, I do not know, but then I am...

    Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

    It's not that people didn't notice it. I'm sure some did. It's just that back in 2001 there was no twitter, instagram, and so on, nor did everyone walk around with cameras in their pocket ready to take a picture and upload to the Internet within seconds.

    The Spirited Sixth Sense ...

    I stand corrected then!

    The Spirited Sixth Sense ...

    This makes more sense as I couldn't imagine King Kong going into the JP area when the current Kong attraction at USH is simply a tram going into a room surrounded by screens and back out. The Disaster building seems to be perfect for this. So my guess is Kong will replace Disaster and then...

    Star Wars Weekends 2014

    Sigh! I guess Kit Fisto won't be coming out.

    Under the Sea on fire!?

    Every park has designated routes for emergency vehicles.

    Festival of the Lion King closes January 5th

    I believe that Jan 5th was chosen because that's roughly when all the yearly contracts expire for the performers.

    "Escape from Tomorrow" guerilla film shot inside WDW

    They could unfortunately keep the director entangled with legal matters long enough to make him sign some kind of agreement or risk going broke.

    Disney to make an expansion announcement today.

    I see the buzzwords have finally reached a peak.

    First the napkins, now the cups?

    Since the whole "Disney Parks" thing is still in effect, do we know what's going on at DL? Are their cups and napkins also plain and generic? Or is this just a WDW thing?

    Downtown Disney update

    Well, that explains why there was some infrastructure work (to use Martin's word) being performed in there early this week. I thought it was odd that they would suddenly start working in that building with no plans. I'd love for the club to come back, but that's my own personal bias.

    Any new thunder mountain info?

    HA! I found myself in that video. I wish I would have known who was recording it, it's going to bug me!

    Any new thunder mountain info?

    Correct and I am also as disappointed as you are. Disney should be be able fix these things, but weren't there some rumors about perhaps using some animation? I don't know if that was a wishful thought or if there was some truth to it, at least at some point. I figured that it is OK to cut them...

    Any new thunder mountain info?

    I noticed some RFID readers at the top of the a pole over the fast pass line. There were also some boxes throughout the queue that looked like they may be used for interactive elements but I could be wrong, it's hard to tell if anything that is currently there will be interactive or if they...

    Innoventions 'Vision House' to open in April

    I've been through it and I was a bit disappointed. This new version isn't as "showy" or "demonstrable" as the previous one. The guide will point at things such as placemats, or tiles but that's about it. The only two things that are demonstrated are a touch screen in the kitchen and the same...

    Orange Bird Back at Sunshine Tree Terrace in the Magic Kingdom!

    This is a part of the Florida Walt Disney World history. It's good that it's back. It adds another layer to the area and if it sticks around then another batch of kids (and first time visitors) will grow with this character in their lives.

    Screamscape - Monorail Expansion Rumor

    Some of the comments above have reminded me of the fact that most of the time I would happily walk TTC <-> MK if there was a safe way to do so.
