    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    This thread is, how to put it, concerning. How are we arguing about IF Song of the South is racist? It is, plain and simple. You can be disappointed that your favorite attraction is closing without defending the source material. I have my doubts about Disney giving this reimagined attraction...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    I have quite literally zero confidence in Disney doing this the right way. The likelihood of Disney gutting this ride, then gutting the budget, and leaving us with a 9-minute ride through nothing but screens is pretty high. Closing a beloved attraction is disappointing enough. Replacing it...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    So I’ve been reading these threads for the past 6 hours, as that is as long as I’ve been attempting to make my park reservations. I’ve tried on my iPhone and laptop, used three different browsers and experience the same problem each time: I’ll be stuck on the Space Mountain screen for about 30...

    News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

    I really dislike how they’ve handled this. Is it necessary? Most definitely. But to announce this the day they begin prep work is amateur hour. We know literally months before when they close the Swiss Family Treehouse for a week yet we find out the day they begin work on the most iconic...

    New 2013 WDW Ticket Prices

    Mark me in the category of "I have magical moments at Disney and then cry myself to sleep because of how insanely expensive it is." I mean seriously, Disney is awesome. But these price increases are beyond ridiculous. Especially when they continuously strip entertainment options and don't...

    Fastpass+, a solution to "overwhelmingly negative" responses from families

    If Disney really wanted to reduce stress, they should just start planning trips for people: 8:00- wake up 9:30- Arrive at parks 9:45- FP+ for Carousel of Progress 10:30- wait in 90 minute line to meet Princess Belle 12:00- eat one cheeseburger at Pinocchio Village Haus (1 squirt of ketchup...

    Fastpass+, a solution to "overwhelmingly negative" responses from families

    This Fastpass+ thing absolutely stinks. Not quite sure how this alleviates any stress from customers, but more than that I'd like to know who these families were that had "overwhelmingly negative" responses to Fastpass.

    BTMRR Next Gen Effects Being Installed

    They should've put a protective pane of glass on that painting. Such a shame that a guest would ruin that within days of its installation.

    Splash Mountain falling apart (literally?)

    Any news on potential interactive queue elements being added to Splash Mountain?

    Splash Mountain falling apart (literally?)

    This rehab seems to be pretty extensive. I am hopeful that the interior show scenes got the same TLC that the outside appears to have received.

    Kali River Rapids reopens.... and guess what??

    That seems too logical for those in charge. From an outsiders perspective, it seems like they would be content with letting all the parks stagnate while jacking up prices for everything. But hey, we will get more meet-and-greets!

    Kali River Rapids reopens.... and guess what??

    I HATE the excuse of not closing attractions down for refurbishment due to all the guests that would be inconvenienced. Refurbishments are a necessary part of maintaining the magic within Disney parks. I'd rather visit WDW and not be able to ride a few rides than be able to experience...

    Kali River Rapids reopens.... and guess what??

    I agree, pristine was too strong a word. It's just dismaying to see the disparity between maintenance of WDW and Disneyland. For the prices they charge (and the increases they inevitably do every year) things should be better than they are.

    Kali River Rapids reopens.... and guess what??

    I'm sure Grizzly will look great when it reopens. Disneyland seems to be run by people who want their attractions to be in pristine condition. And the people who go to Disneyland will not tolerate anything less than perfection. I know that a lot of on this site want change, but I feel like...

    Kali River Rapids reopens.... and guess what??

    I really wish more guests would complain about the state of the theme parks. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love Disney, but the lack of care that WDW gets is disgusting at this point. As someone who only gets down to WDW every couple of years, it's disappointing to see that TDO only cares...

    Snow White to Close Thursday, May 31

    First Mr Toad, now Snow White. (I love the winnie the pooh ride, but losing Mr Toad was rough). Maybe they will rip out Peter Pan next and replace it with a lovely Peter pan themed gift shop. It's frustrating to see TDO sinking so much money into M&Gs. I remember not too long ago when a M&G...

    Jim Hill on XPass attraction line-up

    This is one of the worst things I've ever heard about in terms of Disney parks. Xpass seems bound to anger the average park guest and lead to longer wait times for those of us without million dollar trust funds.

    Jim Hill on XPass coming in 2012

    Honestly, I see this program lasting a few years and then being cancelled. I just don't see the market for rich guests who want to take the time and plan out every last aspect of their trip. It's an incredibly stupid idea that will (hopefully) fail miserably for the company.

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    I'd love to see Apple get involved in the Imagination pavilion. New sponsorship, huge overhaul, increased popularity. That's what I'd love to see happen.

    How Many Days for You... (Part 6)

    Too many... :lol: Going over Christmas. Not sure of the dates yet, but let say less than 300. Oh yeah!
