We're all bound to have some unpopular opinions regarding the Walt Disney World Resort. To start, here's a few of mine... there's too much Star Wars at Hollywood Studios Disney should have built all-encompassing Pixar Land and Lucasfilm Land instead of Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge...

Over the last few months, I have been armchair Imagineering an original Disney resort. Like MEW, it will be placed in Australia, but unlike him, I have a specific location within Australia in mind. This resort is to be located on the Gold Coast, joining such theme parks as Dreamworld, Sea World...

Suppose that Journey Into Imagination was getting a refurbishment and, for whatever reason, David Goelz is unable to reprise his role as Figment. Who do you think would provide a good voice for Figment? I'm no expert on voice actors, but three possible candidates I thought of are Tom Kenny...

Greetings, fellow Armchair Imagineers! Welcome to the latest edition of the Gemini Series. This time, I will be covering my ideas for Epcot. Before I delve into the meat of this edition, I would like to let you know that I changed the park's name back to EPCOT Center. Along with this change is a...

What funny and/or absurd rumors have you heard concerning the Disney Parks? I overheard a guy on the monorail last year telling his teenage daughter that there were alligators in the castle moat.

If you could add or remove anything to/from Downtown Disney, what would it be?

The first rule of Chuck Norrris: you do not talk about Chuck Norris.

As most of you know, Disney's Hollywood Studios has an identity crisis. You see, it does not know if it wants to be a working film studio or if it wants to be a "ride the movies" park like Universal Studios Florida. My solution is that it should be a working film studio, like it was in the late...

On October 23, 1982, EPCOT Center's first nighttime spectacular, Carnival de Lumiere, debuted. It played for a few months before being replaced by A New World Fantasy. Before I created this thread, I read the Wikipedia article on EPCOT Center's nighttime spectaculars and it said that "little is...

Let's look at the people who have narrated the ride. Vic Perrin's narration was OK, Walter Cronkite was great, Jeremy Irons was excellent, and Judi Dench's narration, although she may be James Bond's partner in crime, is mediocre at best. I thought Carl Sagan would've made an extraordinary...

What crazy stuff have you heard at or about Disney? On my last trip, I overheard two preteen girls saying that a mature animation arm of Disney makes South Park, Family Guy, and Beavis and Butthead. On the same trip, I overheard a guy asking a Cast Member for the location of "the SpongeBob...

I jus started to wonder what the Walt Disney Company would be like if Frank Wells hadn't gotten in that helicopter crash back in 1994. What things would be different? I guess Jeffery Katzenburg would've stayed with Disney (therefore DreamWorks would never exist), Michael Eisner not become so...

As you may or may not know, I have had the intent of designing a Disney park for Brazil for aquite some time now. Well, all that work has paid off, for I have finished the project for now. You can find the plan here: http://geminiseries.blogspot.com/2012/08/brazil-disneyland-rio.html.

I was tinking about Islands of Adventure recently when it hit me that Merlinwood and Harry Potter share a lot in common. They're both about male wizards who live in England. So I was wondering would Forbidden Journey and/or Fight of the Hippogriff aesthetically fit within Merlinwood? I know what...

Hello, everyone! I just arrived in my room at Disney's All-Star Movies Hotel for a week-long vacation at Walt Disney World. I also noticed that the rooms here are more modern than I remember. By the way, on Disney's Magical Express, "Listen To The Land," "Tomorrow's Child," and the 1983 version...

I am going to Walt Disney World tomorrow for a week's stay. Disney's All-Star Movies Hotel is my hotel of choice on this trip. I'm flying out of Atlantic City tomorrow morning at around 7:30. And I promse to finish this trip report, unlike the others I've tried to do. Edit: I'll also be taking...

Since the early 1950s, the imaginations of America and the world have been captured by an innovative device known as a television. The television brought the outside world into the comfort of your own home. Programs on the television's channels and networks have a wide range of topics, from...

As we all know, EPCOT Center (or Epcot, whatever you want to call it) is in grave danger of becoming the product of when Disneyland's 1998 Tomorrowland met Universal Studios Florida. Ugh, that'd look VERY ugly. So it's up to us to keep that from happening. To start, here are some point from...

Given all the places in which the Summer Olympics have been hosted, do you think Orlando is a suitable place to host them?

On my blog's refurbishment of Disney's Hollywood Studios (renamed Disney Studios Florida), there is a drastic redo of The Great Movie Ride. I'm having trouble with deciding film should represent the sports genre, Rocky or Caddyshack. There is a poll above with the two movies.
