    Who thinks they should reopen Wonders of Life in Epcot with some new Inside Out theming?

    I just saw "Inside Out" last night, that's a no brainer...With all the publicity and great reviews for "Inside Out" if Disney does not move on this quickly and not take 2-3 years to finish this pavilion they are nuts! It would not be a "tacky" move like Universal Studios who changed the name of...

    Best website to visit when you get the WDW blues?

    Thanks, I do that too! I sometimes feel like such a nerd but I often go to Google Maps to check out all the Disney parks around the world I've been too. I especially like viewing the Disney Sea in Tokyo. Most of the rides there are not in any other Disney parks so it's like visiting the park...

    Best website to visit when you get the WDW blues?

    Just returning from WDW last week I often go to this website and a few others when I need a WDW fix. I also like going to Youtube to see videos posted on rides. I really like when they have a great person behind the camera that really knows how to make me feel like I'm right there enjoying the...

    Did anyone ever earn enough Disney $$$ for a free trip???

    Yes and it's GREAT! I am very lucky that for business I do a lot of buying on a certain website. In turn that website gives me bonus dollars that I can use to buy Disney gift cards. I had enough last year to purchase my whole Disney trip with the gift cards and I went during free Disney...

    In your opinion which rides need a semi makeover, re-Carousel of Progress...

    I couldn't agree more! Revamp it or at least bring back Alien Encounter.

    How can I upgrade my tickets to Magic bands?

    I'm staying at OKW next month and got a letter from Disney asking if I would like to participate in the trial of Magicbands. In the letter it gave me a reservation number that I was able to link to MyDisneyExprience and start planning my trip/fast pass choices. I got the wrist band a few days...

    Got my Magicband in the mail today, super cool! Questions about it....

    It just arrived in the mail today for my trip next month, how exciting! The design of the presentation box and band itself looks like Apple designed it! I picked orange and the color matches my Iphone cover. I love the way they have personalized it with your name on the box and band. Just...

    In your opinion which rides need a semi makeover, re-Carousel of Progress...

    Thanks for your post, I don't fell that old now. I do remember as a very young child going to the "house of the future" at Disneyland, it was near the entrance of Tomorrowland. Also the pack mule ride with real live donkeys.

    In your opinion which rides need a semi makeover, re-Carousel of Progress...

    The old ride at Disneyland ended with the audience exiting the ride on a escalator in front of the seating area where the stage was at the finale. Up the escalator there was a model of town of the future that would later become Walt's idea for EPCOT, I think it is still part of the People Mover...

    In your opinion which rides need a semi makeover, re-Carousel of Progress...

    My vote would have to go to the Carousel of Progress. I don't hate it but I have been riding it since it first premiered at Disneyland (yes, i'm that old) and it has had little change. Mainly it's the last section. Does it look like the future or even the present? Yeah, maybe if it was still...

    Haunted mansion addition?

    I saw it a couple of years ago and LOVED IT! It was like riding it for the first time again and except for brand new attractions how many rides can you say that about. I found nothing cheap about it and it brought on a huge smile the whole ride from the incredible look to the outside to the...

    Is EPCOT too dark at night?

    I live in NYC and the streets are not as dark as some walkways at EPCOT.

    Is EPCOT too dark at night?

    Nice to see that others agree with me. I like most of the lighting of the world showcase pavilions but some of the walkways need either more or brighter lights.

    Thanks, it's nice to see others feel the same way...

    Is EPCOT too dark at night?

    I agree, some of the pavilions are beautifully lite but the walk ways between them, especially between Japan and Morocco can be dangerously dark. Japan is set pretty far back from World Showcase and the pavilion itself is dimly lite. I don't want to see flood lights, just something a little...

    Is EPCOT too dark at night?

    I agree. They should put them in dead spots, mainly between the pavilions where it can be very dark just before Illuminations.

    Is EPCOT too dark at night?

    Exactly! I think putting a little brighter lights on the bridge would not take away from the ambiance.

    THANKS! I'm very surprised with safety issues so important to Disney this problem is not looked at...
