Long-time member, first-time trip-reporter. Unlike some of you, I'm not privileged to go to a Disney park multiple times per year. More like multiple years per time. My last trip before this one was to the World in January 2012. I didn't do a report on that one, for whatever reason. Probably too...

I'm hearing a lot of people comment on various threads that such-and-such ride is/was "dated". Like Inigo Montoya, "I do not think that word means what you think it means." Horizons - dated Ellen's Energy Adventure - dated Whether or not we agree on those points, I can see where someone is...

Disneyland / the Magic Kingdom is a great concept, but I feel like parts of it are a bit dated. The idea was to partition the park into several lands based on the popular entertainment genres of the time, but the genres that are popular have changed. If you build the Magic Kingdom today, for...

I have a confession: I'm obsessed with Frozen. I'm not sure how many times I've watched it. I'd guess more than twenty but less than a hundred. I keep noticing new things. This time I noticed that when Marshmallow throws them out of the ice palace, Sven has got his tongue stuck to the ice...

It's pretty obvious Arendelle is supposed to be in Norway. But where are Weselton and the Southern Isles? Midway through the movie Kristoff explains that he was adopted by the trolls, and we see a bit of this in the beginning when the troll says, "Cuties! I'm gonna keep you." But who are the...

Concept: A fast-paced ride on Kristoff's sleigh pulled by Sven Basic type: Dark ride through themed sets and animatronics Technology: Ride vehicle like Dinosaur and Disneyland's Indiana Jones. Additionally, effects simulate higher speed than actual. That allows the sensation of speed without...

What I mean is, I'm too cheap to go to a movie theater. I'm even too cheap to pay individually to rent a movie, so I waited until Frozen became available on Netflix. So I have missed out on the Frozen-related discussions thus far. I thought it was quite a good movie, though it had a few flaws...

Noticed on our last trip that we wasted a lot of time eating dinner in the parks. After we finished dinner, we'd have time for maybe one ride before closing. Could wait until getting back to the resort, but I think maybe by the time you got there, they were only serving pizza (value resort)...

I've long wanted to stay at the Contemporary. I've stayed at the other two monorail resorts (long ago on the parents' dime), but never the Contemporary. I think the "right" way to do the Contemporary would be a tower room, but those are way overpriced for me. My main question is, do you get the...

This is not an original idea, but I was thinking about the idea of making Epcot a functional research institution. I think the investment would be too much for the impact it would make for parkers, but it could happen if Disney didn't have to pay for the whole thing. They could partner with an...

Just a little idea for some spontaneous unexpected magic. Young female cast member is going about custodial duties: sweeping, mopping, or emptying trash bins. Fairy Godmother appears on the scene and asks her why she's not dressed for the ball. She's whisked through a CM-only door. From inside...

Only it rains a lot longer. Hi. I don't usually frequent the "Chit-Chat" section of boards, but I'm on a ferry and I'm bored. Ferries are cool, but I do ride it most every day. Seattle is like Disney World. We have ferries and a monorail. Our monorail kinda sucks, though. Really, monorails...

The monorail is overdue for an expansion. Disney World has expanded extensively in the last 30 years with more theme parks and resorts, but not the monorail. Traveling by bus is decidedly un-magical, but is the primary mode of travel for on-site guests. For many guests, if they choose the most...
