    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    I hate to park hop the conversation from Epcot to Hollywood Studios, but this goes back to an initial comment/conversation from the start of this thread. It's about escapism and game changers in the industry. With everything Disney has done to expand the Magic Kingdom and make it more...

    If you were homeless....

    What also helps with a scenario like this is that resorts like the all-stars have lax security, you can get through the gate without real proof that you are staying there. That helps if you ever need a free shower, since they have showers in the bathrooms by the pools with, I think, at least...

    Sweedish Chef disappeared from Muppet Vision 3D

    The same thing happened at some point between March and May. I had done the show for a week straight and never saw the Swedish Chef effect working :(

    Getting a Part Time Job at Disney?

    I dont know about the theme parks directly, but I know that disney will hire you for things like DTD positions if they knew you weren't staying too long. LEGO for instance had someone that was hired for I think 4 months, and they had a bunch of temporary college program people there as well. If...

    The Enchanted Tiki Room is coming to the Magic Kingdom!

    I missed the chance to see the original in person and never got to see the refurb, so I'll definately check this one out once it returns. I can't wait!

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    Thanks for the replies! Now my mind is wandering in all sorts of (good) directions. Speaking of Disney...I remember way back when there was an idea for a Disneyquest in NY (I'm originally from LI so maybe thats why this stuck with me), but then the DTD Disneyquest didn't do so well (or...

    Purchase Fastpasses online Prior to visit

    After reading the article, I dont see how this is entirely a good idea. It seems like it'd backfire to some degree (at least, thats what I see happening from the idea of even reserving seats for shows in advanced. If I'm waiting X hours for Fantasmic, I wont be happy with someone just walking in...

    Magic...it seems to be slipping...

    We had to use a wheelchair one time and were forced to use the alternate Test Track line. The CM who sent us there told us to go right away. When we got to the top where they put you on the ride, the attendent screamed (made quite a show) at us (particularly my wife in the wheel chair) that she...

    Everything Right with "The World"

    I love how I live in Kissimmee, and yet the minute I step out of the car onto Disney Property, everything feels different. It's like theres magic pumping directly into the air. Other favorites: The attention to detail on even their office buildings, keeping with the magic of the parks. The...

    Purchase Fastpasses online Prior to visit

    I wonder if these advanced fast passes (if they go into effect) would have times on them? Or if, since these were "purchased" ahead of time, be generic one ride but at any time of the day? That leaves it open for some more possibilities. I rarely use fast passes, having been so many times...

    Rare Characters Question

    I moved down to FL three years ago and up until my daughter was born (she is one now) my wife and I would go to the parks nonstop and the only rare character I have ever seen was Friar tuck over at Epcot. Unfortunately, when I decided to head over for a picture with him, he was being led away...

    Haunted Mansion Holiday?

    I think this hits the nail on its head. We're a here and now society, and that is why things like this dont go well.

    Eddie Sotto's take on the current state of the parks (Part II)

    Here's a question... Is there really a market, or maybe need is a better word, for a new theme park? I know a lot of people wish for a 5th park at WDW or another part of the country and it'd undoubtably get guest, but would it be a success in the long run as opposed to improving upon...
