Good thing they kept the tromp l'oeil murals, because they keep the interior somewhat classy. Replace those wonderful murals with some more wood paneling, some large mirrors, a few cheap wall sconces, maybe throw in some white Christmas lights, and fill it up with cigarette smoke, and you've...

This is the attitude to have! I usually make it a point to avoid WDW restaurants that I have at home, and that usually includes anything Italian, because I eat it all the time at home anyway so it's time to eat something different. Plus, the "pizza" they serve at most places is a crime (Via...

Disney's real "backlot blunder" was building the park in the first place. Then they built it (more like under-built it) in a bad location, and only built it to spite Universal. The park does, luckily, have a good foundation in Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards, as they are truly great pieces...

I always loved the Hilton, and it is at least cater-corner to the Marketplace, but the Holiday Inn is the next hotel past the Hilton, so it's maybe another 5-10 minute (I've always hated walking on Hotel Plaza Blvd so the times may be much less than what I remember) walk from there to the...

Go for the tiara! My wife always finds an excuse to wear one. Of course, I've told her that just because she spends money like a princess, it doesn't make her a real princess...:brick:

Just don't get your hopes up; Newark is infamous for delays, and since your flight is at about 6 pm, there's unfortunately a higher chance for things to go wrong somewhere on the East Coast during the day, causing chaos in the New York airspace. So maybe you won't get to see Illuminations...

Right, and they'll probably just soft-open whatever they can as early as they can. Remember, any official opening date is pretty much worthless, as something can (and in this case will be, to work out the bugs) be soft-opened for weeks before it's official opening

There's a lot of Walt there, but it's more spirit than actual design. WED had become a well-oiled machine anyway by the late 60s, so they didn't need Walt to micromanage and still designed an amazing park. Walt probably gave some overriding ideas (like a taller castle than Disneyland), but I...

If they ever wanted a quick fix for the Studios they could build a variation on the Toontown theme as they have done in Paris.

Rail would make money, like it did 100 years ago, if the government got out of subsidizing highways, or if highway users paid the true costs of building and maintaining roads. But this is probably not a discussion for a Disney board.

Yea, sorry you didn't like the comment, but I know a few people who have the poster who had no idea of it's original purpose, and many don't care about history in general.

I'm surprised they haven't yet run with the fad and started selling variations of this at the UK pavilion. Perhaps the poster's original purpose would mean it's in bad taste, but few know/care anyway.

They are supposed to be the royal couple of the Kingdom of Anandapour. Their pictures hang around probably for national pride, much like the portraits of Queen Elizabeth II that hang in Canadian hockey rinks. The picture is usually accompanied by the royal seal, so I'm guessing the backstory is...

Wow, there's a blast from the past. If this was 1992, Launchpad probably would've been the marquee character for the Barnstormer.

They've tried quite a few things over/on the lagoon during the day, and none of them worked very well and/or no one really cared. Just like the abandoned stage behind the Fountain of Nations, the lagoon during the day is another example of current management not really knowing what to do...

The Speedway is even more incongruent than that; Disneyland's Autopia was at least the "highway of the future," while the Florida version has always been a Speedway, as in, a race track. I just wonder why this attraction never caught a case of 20,000 Leagues-itis, where Disney decides to shut it...

Kodak was simply not able to move into the future; they couldn't transition from film to digital, even though they were among the most innovative companies in the world a generation ago. It's sad to see George Eastman's company go this route, and I suppose he'll become even more forgotten...

Once foliage grows in, most of these problems will be solved. I still think the Speedway is going to be mercifully put down at some point, so the Dumbo hvac won't matter. There are already a lot of terrible views from the Railroad, so it's really no big deal. And they'll find some way to fix the...

Question is, will there be some sort of tribute to Mickey's Toontown Fair, beyond the recycled tents and Barnstormer?
