    With The great movie ride gone what have we lost?

    I have to agree 100%!!! Over the last few trips to DW, I felt the studios was loosing the "Studio" part. It started with 1/2 the backlot closing. Then shutting down the rest of the backlot. This last trip seeing the Great Movie Ride just sitting there silent was almost heartbreaking. I mean...

    Favorite Song From The Disney Parks

    Tapestry of Nations has always been my favorite. A very close second is Hapa Duniai from the safari ride (if you have no idea what I am talking about, during the safari ride the operator says ":Let's see what's on the radio..." ()). However, this last trip I got to ride the Na'vi River and...

    Google Earth - Neat Disney Over The Years

    I found something new while playing with Google Earth today. There is a button called "Historical Imagery" (it looks like a "redo" or "undo" button). If you punch in Disney World, you can see changes to the park back as far as 1996. For example, if you look at the new Fantasyland expansion and...

    Thread Bashing

    I find it funny that people have nothing better to do than sit and bash people's posts and comments. If you don't like what people write, don't come here. Someone wrote in one post "I don't understand why we are having this conversation. That ride was overrated and cheesy..." So what. You don't...

    Should MK have another skyride?

    I was not sad when they took this out! LOL I am afraid of heights so I never liked it. A funny story was I thought I was going to be thrown out of the parks for foul language. My friends dragged me on it once. I was cursing and yelling at them the entire time (mainly because they kept rocking...

    Magical Express..Do you tip the driver?

    I don't think it is expected. For the most part, when you arrive at the airport they don't load or unload luggage unless you have large carry-on items. When I am going back to the airport I usually tip because they are loading my luggage.

    Priority Fireworks Viewing!

    The priority viewing for EPCOT, I believe, is right where Futureworld & World Showcase meet at the lake. There is a big open area. Up near the lake there is an area that is usually roped off. I am not sure about the spot for Wishes.

    Your Family's Personal WDW 'Slang'

    It's not really "slang," but I still use old names - MGM Studios instead of Hollywood Studios - Alien instead of Stitch's Escape - Wedway instead of Tomorrowland Transit - Electric Parade instead of Spectromagic What was funny was a friend of mine had never been there and I told her about the...

    Is the franchise getting bigger then the magic?

    Another on the clean part - was when I was at Caribbean Beach 2 years ago, someone broke a beer bottle in the little courtyard by my room. It was there for three days before my mother-in-law picked up the glass because she almost cut her foot open going to the pool. It wasn't that hidden that...

    Is the franchise getting bigger then the magic?

    NO! It's not just you! I have been saying the same thing. I am sad at the decline of "the magic" when I am there. I posted a reply to a different post about some of the issues I have had. - How unclean the parks are. That back in the 80's you could eat off the ground and now you see trash...

    Disney People

    I agree! Spot-on! It's kind of funny on my end. Anyone who knows me, knows me as lazy, sarcastic, uncaring, miserable, etc. But when it comes to Disney I am a little kid. I mean, I was telling a friend who is going for the first time about some of the rides and shows and I started getting all...

    What do you like to do on your arrival day?

    Sleep! LOL I usually fly in late at night. It's sort of a waste for the room, but I feel that way I get a full day at the park instead of getting up at 4am, flying out at 7am, getting to hotel at 11am, park by 1pm, passing out at 9pm... But the first thing I do is go to Space Mountain and...

    How many parks per day?

    I usually go for 10 - 11 days. The first 4 days is one park per day. Then I think the most I have done in one day is two parks. I just feel like the amount of money I am spending, every minute I am there is money and every minute I am spending doing things like riding a bus or monorail to...

    Traditions, Your last One.

    Even if it is just to walk on Main Street, Magic Kingdom has to be the last place I visit before I leave (that is other than my hotel the next morning to catch my flight home).

    What Existing WDW Attractions Would You Remove?

    - Lights Motor Action - definitely! And mainly because by putting this in I feel they ruined the Backlot Tour. - Journey into Imagination - I want the original one back! - In EPCOT get rid of the countries like France, England, Moroco and put in countries like Norway and Mexico that have rides...

    Does Hollywood Studios live up to its name?

    I used to love the Studios. I loved the whole "Old Hollywood theme." I don't really feel it lives up to its name anymore. The last couple times I have gone to DW, I spent less and less time at the Studios. I feel like what attractions they have are too far spread apart - not to mention Star...

    Adults and Meet And Greet

    My other half has to do pictures with the characters every time we go. I always feel awkward taking pictures with the characters that are not in the mascot costumes, like Mary Poppins, Cinderella, etc because I feel like an idiot LOL. Only because they talk to everyone like they are kids and I...

    You Say You Want a Revolution

    If you get one of these up and running I would gladly join! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE DW, but I am beyond angry with how different the experience is now from what it was 25+ years ago when I first started going. I have been to DW at least 18 times that I can recall and each time my experience...
