    The American Idol Experience closing for short refurbishment in June

    I guess I'm in the minority, but I wish they'd go back to something like Superstar Television - but obviously a modern update. And not tied into any specific show - get back to the "Behind the Scenes" Hollywood aspect that the park was founded on!

    Art of Animation Buses

    Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else... Does anyone know if Art of Animation will have its own dedicated buses like Pop Century does now, or will they be sharing with Pop Century? Pop Century's exclusive buses were one of the BIG perks over the All Stars IMHO... Thanks for any and...

    Time Machine!

    I was there 3 times between '91 and '92, and it really was quite great then. I loved MGM Studios during those years - Yeah, it may have been a "half day" park, but that just meant you did everything twice!

    Crazy Comments: Perceptions of Disney from a non-Disney Person

    I'm embarrassed to say that when I was 16, I got to go to WDW 2 times in a 4 month span - and at the time, I was kinda bored. I liked Future World, and some of the old MGM attractions, but the rest was too kiddie-like for me. I was a thrill ride guy - I only liked rides like 90 mph looping...

    why is their no monorail, going to hollywood studios?

    Slightly OT, but I had a roughly 10 year gap in trips to WDW (HS Senior year to being a young Dad) and we had our first trip with our daughter booked with a consultant - we stayed at A.S.Music and did Magical Express - I didn't really do much research prior to the trip, and so for some reason I...

    Your Biggest Disney Regret!

    Not riding Everest before 2009 because my oldest daughter wasn't tall enough, and my wife doesn't do thrill rides... My wife offered a few times to hang with our daughter in Dinoland while I rode, but I always turned her down! So, I never got to see anything except Disco Yeti...

    I saw Paul Mccartney at the Magic Kingdom yesterday!

    All jokes aside, I wonder if Macca is even aware of this little bit of Beatles/ WDW trivia? I mean, there's really no reason to believe that he would be aware of that story. (In case you don't know, John Lennon signed the papers that officially dissolved the Beatles while vacationing at WDW...

    What's coming after FLE?

    I think we'd all be happy if TDO could just get everything that they have on hand NOW to just ALL work up to their full potential for a few years! The Yeti is the obvious one, but of course there's tons of other little missing Disney pluses anymore. In terms of NEW things, I think that the...

    Disney at Walmart

    Just adding a little fuel to this interesting fire... What if this partnership turns into "WalMart presents Soarin' Around the World" or "WalMart presents Everest with a Working Yeti" or "WalMart presents Horizons 2.0" or any of the other attractions that you'd like to see, but just never seem...

    Disney at Walmart

    Thread winner is right above, IMHO... Coincidentally, I was JUST at Walmart, and I saw this. Its really nothing at all, just a mobile device scan thing. Its on a cardboard display of DVD's, video games, stuffed animals, and some Disney cups and such. NOTHING to get too bent out of shape about.

    Do we have any sweepstakes winners here?

    Well, not to brag, but it has been allowing me to enter EVERY DAY... So maybe that increases my chances...?:ROFLOL: But seriously, as it is already more than half over and they give out the prizes weekly, I doubt I have a shot. I use Internet Explorer, whatever the latest version is... I 've...

    Port Orleans Riverside (Dixie Landings) Turns 20

    That boat ride - at night, when its warm, but not overly hot, very well may be my FAVORITE thing to do in all of WDW. There always seems to be great CMs driving, and I love leaving the hustle and bustle of DTD, then being in those quiet woods... OK, I'm ready to go back now, thanks! Who's...

    Kim Possible adventure Epcot change rumor

    I agree 100%. KP was dated when it was opened, and I think P & F is already becoming dated as well. My kids used to watch it daily, but I can't think of it being on in my house for a year or so. Maybe The Incredibles would work better? Or Monsters Inc, as the sequel is coming soon... Something...

    New Dumbos is a hidden Mickey!

    Yeah, they're still there in the SAME little shack that's been there for as long as I can remember! You can see some pics here : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Berts-Hotdog-Stand-Atlasburg-PA/301923015673#!/pages/Berts-Hotdog-Stand-Atlasburg-PA/301923015673?sk=photos

    New Dumbos is a hidden Mickey!

    I actually called the hidden Mickey/ Dueling Dumbo thing on here about 2 years ago, but in reality, they don't look as much like a HM as I thought they might... Check back to this old gem! http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=556840

    American Idol Experience is...

    I was thinking the same thing - not necessarily Avatar, but I think a show where audience members get put in motion capture suits with live animations onscreen would be very popular. It could be all over the place in terms of what movies or shows - Buzz Lightyear, Avatar, Yoda, or even classic...

    What classic disney movie needs a ride.

    Well, Miramax is owned by Disney... so we could have a ride based on... Imagine driving a car where you run down an AA Marcellus Wallace, or crash into a lawn with an OD'ing Uma in your front seat, then turn around and shoot Marvin in the face! :ROFLOL: All jokes aside, they could open Jack...

    Quick hotel question

    I would say it REALLY comes down to which theming you prefer. The amenities at the two are VERY similar. I prefer the Bayou/ Swamp feel of Riverside - but French Quarter is very nice as well!

    Possible New Main Street Music Loop To Debut

    When I'm driving to work in the morning, if I'm tired or I know I'm going to have a bad day - I sing "Surrey with the Fringe on Top" to myself... For some reason that song ALWAYS brightens my mood (I was also in "Oklahoma!" in high school, 20+ yrs ago) and I would REALLY miss hearing it on Main...

    One Republic "Good Life" music video recorded in Magic Kingdom

    I enjoy the video and the song... but I had a thought while watching this video. WDW will NEVER get rid of the Tomorrowland Speedway. It frequently shows up in promo videos, it is featured in this video, and it was featured in the tilt motion video from a couple years back. I guess some Disney...
