I am sentimental to Big Thunder. The line always seems to be moving and there is this true wild west feel to it. Even in the line up there is lots to see and times when you can watch the coaster out the window.

We are in the minority here but the first two times our kids went to Disney our youngest was shy of 2 years old. We had a stroller that day for her. We went the following year when she was 2 and a half years old and did NOT have a stroller for her. The result was she lasted the 12 hours we were...

Right. But no one built a land over it.

September 2009. Not a particularly busy time I thought. Maybe we hit a good day, I don't know. But we had a long day at the Magic Kingdom and hit everything and stayed for the fireworks and the parade, which was Spectromagic back then. Then people start peeling out down Main Street to head to...

A hard no. The Simpsons is a show most of us forget is actually still on Sunday nights - new episodes too. I haven't regularly watched the new episodes in about 15 years. So it is just not relevant like it used to be. And while it may have staying power to an extent, can you imagine a Jetsons or...

Maybe it is because I grew up in the 1980s and 1990s long before a "Karen" even existed and when you could hear jokes from Roseanne or Al Bundy on TV, but what exactly is supposed to be "controversial" (not my word, the OP's word) about Frontierland? Even trying to put myself in the mind of a 20...

An already anti-social society and generation that was trending in the wrong direction did not need MORE isolation and lack of human contact. And I think we'll be paying for that in many ways, including socially, for a long time. I cannot stand the people that put on the loud speaker when they...

I think cell phones and social media have really had us take a sharp decline is proper etiquette. I can remember when it became popular to just sit on your phone and text while you were in a conversation with someone. I can very clearly remember thinking how rude it was to do that. But in 2024...

My daughter's first rollercoaster - when she was 4 - was on Thunder Mountain. That was pretty memorable, and she loved it and has sort of turned into a thrill junkie since then. I also think my wife going for the first time when she was an adult was a great trip. My kids - all of them - seeing...

It does have that feel, and perhaps it is intentional. You are pretty high up there considering you need to take the elevator to get up there in the first place. I always envision the arm snapping off and just flying in the air before crashing to the ground. I know that will never happen, but I...

Just wondering why you think this. Granted, it wouldn't be the first nor the last proposed theme park to not be built. But what is your thinking as to why this won't happen? Lack of funds? Also, what about Libertyland in South Dakota? Both are slated for 2026. I don't know if it will happen...

I know that 4 parks alone is tough to do. Our next trip to Florida I plan on doing the 4 Disney parks instead of adding Universal in there, because there are still two parks our kids haven't been to at Disney. I might even do a 5-day pass just to get another day at Magic Kingdom. But that would...

I had actually forgotten about that defunct idea to put a Disney park in Virginia back in the day. By the way, I like the idea of the park in Rapid City. Very close to Mount Rushmore. I've always wanted to see Rushmore but just never could find enough stuff to see on the way to South Dakota. A...

Maybe, or maybe they can turn WDW into a 5-day vacation. It is a dream................for us I guess. I think they've done pretty good adding things in there. DHS is a better park than it was 5 years ago.

That's a fair assesment. Disney is still leading, even with Epic Universe. But man, the margins are getting thinner aren't they?

Obviously with Epic Universe opening in 2025 that brings a lot more competition Disney's way with Universal being so close in proximity, but is there any impact that you feel American Heartland will bring to Disney when it opens in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area in 2026? From what I have seen it is...

I guess I am the rare one that says perhaps in the 2020s it is built. The reason being is that Disney has got to be a little worried about Universal now. Epic Universe is going to be....................well, epic, when it opens in 2025. Disney always has an answer for things Universal does...

Pete's Dragon in Fantasyland? Bambi in Animal Kingdom?

Part of it is the guest isn't as smart as they used to be. I just had a sister and her family who went to Magic Kingdom and DHS. First time they took the kids and it had been 15 years since they themselves went. My sister is NOT a good fit for theme parks. It is not her thing, but she did it for...
