I was at the Magic Kingdom a couple of days ago and while I was there I paid a lengthy visit to Tom Sawyer Island. While exploring the island, I noticed a couple of new things about the current state of this attraction. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The main Tom Sawyer Island sign has...

During my most recent trip in January, I noticed that almost all of the dinosaur animatronics at Dinosaur were not running at full capacity. It appears that many of their functions and movements have been turned off. For example, the alioramus ( the dinosaur that is eating a large lizard) only...

I'm happy to report that the barking animatronic dog is now back on the porch of the farmhouse in Living with the Land. He has been missing since March.

I've noticed that Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are hardly mentioned within the Disney community compared to the many other things that Walt Disney World has to offer. I hear people praise them once in a while, but not many people seem to acknowledge them as part of the "Disney experience."...

I just read over on MiceChat that someone was in the Magic Kingdom on Sunday and, apparently, they were holding a ceremony in which a little boy was chosen to pull the sword from the anvil in Fantasyland, accompanied by a four musician band that was playing "That's What Makes the World Go...

Does anyone have an update on the status of the nets that have been put up on the trails around the Tree of Life? If they are still up, are they coming down soon?

I've noticed that Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach seem to be in much better condition compared to the theme parks, especially the Magic Kingdom. I know this is partially due to the fact that each water park goes down for a few months in the winter for refurbishment. However, I've noticed...

Apparently, Melvin Macheezmo's last day was on April 12th. He is going to "Broadway" to star in a brand new musical. Melvin was such a charismatic and funny guy, one of my favorite Citizens of Hollywood. Melvin, the streets of Hollywood won't be the same without you! :kiss:

I have noticed that Tangled has a gigantic following and was an instant hit when it was released. It made tons of money at the box office and the merchandise is heavily in demand. I was very impressed by Tangled and I think it will definitely become a Disney classic. In comparison, I...

April Fools! :D Take a look at this article from Yesterland, it's pretty funny: http://www.yesterland.com/disneyparks.html Sadly, though, this could actually happen in the future if this branding craze doesn't stop.

The mermaid fountain that is usually located near the Backlot Tour is missing. Is it out for repair? This better not be a permanent removal. The fountain has a unique connection to Disney's Hollywood Studios because it was actually made in the Scenic Shop at the Studios and it is from the...

I was reading the forums over at MiceChat and I came upon a post stating that Colorvision International Inc. will become the new sponsor for the Imagination Pavilion. Can anyone confirm this? Here is the link to the post...

I have noticed, in several recent pictures of the Studios, there is a rather large stage set up in front of the Sorcerer's Hat. The hat is ugly enough, but the stage makes that part of the park even more of a mess. What is this stage currently used for and when will it come down?

Will the original Hitchhiking Ghosts ever return to the Haunted Mansion? I know that there was an auction for the original figures during the latest D23 event, but I don't know how many of them were auctioned off. Couldn't they make some new figures? The new digital Hitchhiking Ghosts are...

Is Blackbeard still on the waterfall projection? If he is, when will Davy Jones be returning?

Apparently, Disney lists Mulan as an "official princess" in their Princess franchise. She occasionally appears on princess merchandise, is sometimes present the Akershus Royal Banquet Hall for the Princess Storybook Dining, and appears on the mural in the princess room of the World of Disney...

I had a quick question concerning the Pirate Hat Thief figure that appears in the "burning city" portion of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Well, during my last few to trips to Walt Disney World, I have noticed that this pirate is always missing the many hats that he seems to have...

Has anyone heard of this? http://dizfanatic.com/DizTech012.aspx I personally don't like this concept. I can think of a bunch of things that can go wrong if this wristband technology is used instead of the "Key to the World" cards. Also, the personalized ride experiences are just going...

Hi all, We just finished planning our January trip to WDW and I am slightly confused about one of the reservations that our travel agent booked for us. On the day that we will be spending at Animal Kingdom, we wanted to reserve a dinner spot at the Tusker House. The problem is that our...
