    Country Bear Jamboree

    Saw it in January of this year after having not seen it since 2000 and it sounded fine to me. Still a great show and a lot of fun. I certainly hope Disney doesn't listen to the naysayers like some in this thread and keep it around.

    Best Attraction in the World: Asia

    Can't stand Everest (boring, drab, sparse, missed potential) and Kali is too short, though it is beautiful for as long as it lasts. Had to go with Maharaja Jungle Trek, which is a beautiful and engrossing "attraction".

    Best Attraction in the World: Magic Kingdom

    At the Magic Kingdom its not even close: The Haunted Mansion by a mile. Now, if this were Disneyland, it'd be a toss-up between Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. Maybe a best Disney attraction in the U.S. could be next. It'd be a four-way tie for me between The Haunted Mansion...

    Space Mountain Predictions! ;)

    That's unfortunate for you, but with so many wonderful things to see and do at Disneyland and Walt Disney World I'd be hard pressed to say the temporary closure of any one attraction would "ruin" my vacation. I've been to DL when Haunted Mansion was closed and when the Matterhorn Bobsleds were...

    Fantasyland Philosophy

    Well, I may be wrong here, but if Walt Disney meant what he said exactly as you are interpreting it, then Disneyland would have been a failure even during his lifetime. How exactly would a family with small children have been able to experience the Matterhorn Bobsleds "together"? Even if there...

    BREAKING NEWS: a suspicious package is on a disney bus

    Are they driving all the buses to one place to do the searching? I wouldn't want to be driving one of those buses. I'd be nervous as you know what even though its hopefully nothing.

    Fantasyland expansion a go - CONFIRMED

    Definitely agree. VERY much looking forward to The Little Mermaid, but the rest of it will be a complete waste for me and mine. That includes me, my wife, a 14-year old son and a 5-year old daughter. My daughter would rather ride Disney attractions than stand in line for any meet and greet. We...

    Which do you like better Liberty Square or New Orleans Square?

    No, I haven't seen Tokyo DisneySea, unfortunately. :( I used to live in Okinawa, Japan when I was growing up. My father was in the Air Force and he was stationed at Kadena Air Force Base. I lived in Okinawa from 1985-1991, so we got up to Tokyo Disneyland (about a four hour flight from Okinawa)...

    Which do you like better Liberty Square or New Orleans Square?

    Maybe I got lucky with DL's elevators? Or was just too wrapped up to notice! :) I HAVE been to TDL, and the HM does not fit in in Fantasyland at all. They didn't have much choice, though, with no Liberty or New Orleans Square, there wasn't anywhere else that it even remotely fit. All my...

    Which do you like better Liberty Square or New Orleans Square?

    Don't know when you were at DL last, but I've ridden it several times this year and never felt any "jerk" in either elevators. Yes, Phantom Manor works great in Frontierland, but neither of the stateside versions are the same as Phantom Manor. Not just the exterior themeing but the interior is...

    Which do you like better Liberty Square or New Orleans Square?

    PotC fits perfectly in New Orleans Square. Absolutely perfectly. It also fits in Adventureland. I don't think either fit is better, really. Shame that WDW didn't get a proper PotC ride out of the deal. If only the beautifully themed queue in the old Spanish fortress had translated into a...

    Who is getting the best expansion?

    It was a toss-up between Carsland and HKDL for me. Mystic Manor sounds amazing but Carsland is going to be a monster. 180 foot tall rock work creating a berm around part of DCA? Wow. The artwork looks unbelievable and the details about the show building promise to give the US an attraction based...

    Which FL will bet better WDW or DL?

    Yeah, it sure does. I would never have believed it, either. I was born in Florida and never visited DL until this year, even though I've lived 6 hours away for 8 years. Finally made the trip over there and could have kicked myself for missing it for so long. I was just so sure it couldn't touch...

    Space Mountain starting test and adjust

    Because when one of the biggest attractions in the world's (officially) most visited theme park goes down for a rehab years and years and years after it needed it I'd have hoped that it would get enhancements at least on the level that the other version of the same attraction got more than four...

    Which FL will bet better WDW or DL?

    As a whole, if all they are adding is one new ride, themeing, a bunch of meet and greets, a clone of Dumbo and a BatB dinner show then DL will still be marginally better. Maybe not more beautiful, but the number and quality of attractions will still be in DL's favor. Besides, Mr. Toad +...

    Fantasyland expansion a go - CONFIRMED

    The FL concept art sure does look beautiful. I wish it was more than one new ride, as the meet and greets are not my family's cup of tea, but it will definitely increase capacity and be more aesthetically pleasing, which benefits everyone. Hopefully the BatB restaurant will be a great show as...

    For all you HM lovers out there

    Good grief. I don't think words can express how amazing this was and how blown away I am by this video. This video makes all your other videos pale in comparison, and your videos have always been uniformly excellent. I don't mean this as a sleight against your previous work, but this is quite...

    Official D23 Thread

    Hated Captain EO, but it was better than HIStA. Not a huge fan of Cars, but I won't leave the room if its on or anything. Its the only Pixar movie that I don't think is a 4- to 5-star movie. However, as many have said on here before, a good or great attraction is a good or great attraction, no...

    Will new Space Mountain get Ghost Galaxy in 2010 MNSSHP???

    I get so tired of this argument. Watch videos on Youtube of both Space Mountains with the lights on. Count the turns on each ride after you are done with the lift hills through entering the re-entry tunnels. Disneyland Space Mountain: Left turns, 4 (25%); Right turns, 12 (75%) Walt Disney World...

    Disney to buy Marvel Entertainment

    I'm not nuts about Dinorama. I get the idea, I just think its very cheesy. There's no reason they couldn't have done an idealized version of a side of the road place. They didn't make Frontierland authentic, either. Its an idealized version of the old west. It would have been better to either do...
