    AKL Pros & Cons

    Hi Brenna! We've stayed at AKL several times and love it! I can't get the family to stay anywhere else now. The only con I can think of is the location. It is far removed from everything except the AK park. If you have a rental car, you have no worries. Bus service is exclusive (or it...

    I have a bone to pick with a MVMCP "rule"

    Sorry, I agree with the CM. You were aware of when the park closed for the day and you were "trying to squeeze in as many rides as possible" and were already still in the park 15+ minutes after closing time. When closing time was approaching, you should have begun to move toward the exit and...

    Castle Christmas Lighting

    I really wish it was still this way. I understand there are some decorations (Osborne Lights, etc.) that take more time to put up and can't go up overnight, but it would be so nice to keep the holidays exclusive to their traditional time period. My personal preference would be Halloween...

    EMH Experiment

    They need to scan the room keys at the entrance to each attraction. No need to "read" anything in the dark and no need to be concerned with dates, colors, etc. to ensure it's a currently valid card. Scanning works and not only does it serve as a verification process, it also captures data...

    Economy does in Fantasyland

    Every individual has their own perspective on virtually everything, however, I don't see how anyone can look at and ride WDW SM and say it's fine, leave it alone. It's gotten so shabby! It's old and worn out and it shows everywhere you look. I'm not saying change Space Mountain to something...

    RnRc Contract End?

    I can see this as a viable alternative to a specific band. Good marketing tie in for Hanes also. I could live with that. What I cannot accept is a teen pop group (that's good for a couple of years at the most) taking over there. Keep the ROCK in the coaster.

    So, what's it going to take to vanquish the heathens? :fork:

    Economy does in Fantasyland

    Just curious.. Is a "more compact" version proposed for WDW because of available space or because it will be a watered down version? If all this truly is because of the current financial concerns, I'd rather they hold where they are and just keep all the parks beautifully maintained and safe...

    Economy does in Fantasyland

    I know nothing and I know no one in the know :veryconfu :lol: but I have to say from my own perspective, what could be more important at MK now than a total rehab for SM? Almost 4 yrs ago I made a few observations while at WDW. First, HM desperately needed a rehab as did SM. While I...

    Horizons - 25 years old today

    Thanks Marni :) Brought back some great memories. We loved that ride. What a great experience. I'll never understand why it wasn't popular enough to keep it open for many years longer. It was (and with appropriate upgrades still would be) on our "not to be missed" list every visit.

    Space Mountain

    :confused: Sigh..... Sadly, SM has already dropped off my favorites list. It used to be near the top and we would never miss it but, in recent years, it's fallen into such a sad state that we're very lukewarm about riding it now. After going on the new DL version, the poor condition of...

    Any word on the new EMH policy

    I was just interested in how it was going with the new system. Seems to be rather quiet. Anyone have any additional input on how it's working out?

    EpcotServo's Sep. 9th STUDIOS Update: Someday at the Studios

    Once again, thanks for a nice pictorial. And we got video too! Every time I see a great shot looking down the street and see that hat.... The hat's not bad. It's just in the wrong place! It ruins the ambiance and looks completely out of place where it is. And what about all those lovely...

    Pixar overlay of Universe of Energy - Supply me a rope?

    That's the biggest problem of all. It's way, way, way too long! Every ride at WDW, I exit going awww man that was way too short...over too quickly. At UOE it just goes on and on. Love the moving theater but the only part we enjoy is the ride through the dinosaurs. That's very good. The...

    Fantasmic...Overated

    Our whole family loves it and it's definitely on our "not to be missed" list. We think it's a great show all the way around and as icing on the cake, we get to SIT and enjoy a good view. At every other show/parade, you have the hassle of trying to get a reasonable view and then stand for the...

    Fresh batch of pictures from the Idol construction

    After reading this post, I realized I sounded somewhat rude in my own above. :o I always appreciate the information and pics Steve and everyone else share here. My comments were a statement of opinion on the attraction itself and not meant to say that I found the information uninteresting.

    Fresh batch of pictures from the Idol construction

    I have zero interest in this attraction. :snore: My big concern has been that huge obnoxious outdoor screen intruding on my Disney state of mind. My opinion is, it will do ok at first, drawing in those who are curious about a new attraction and want to see what it's all about. Once the...

    This could be bad for Disney folks

    Agree! We don't come from anywhere near the distance you do, but we ALWAYS include 2 days at USF & IOA on every trip. I love Disney through and through. There is a heart at Disney that is not present at USF and when leaving WDW and entering the parks there, we feel the difference. But we...
