    Let's be honest...is Carousel of Progress going to last the next five years?

    CoP is a total embarrassment. The first three scenes have absolutely no relevance to anyone under 90 and the final scene-"The Modern Era" circa 1993 or whenever with its Space Invaders video game-is perhaps the most cringeworthy thing in all of WDW. Depending on your life stage this attraction...

    Starcruiser: What do you think it'll be used for in 5 years?

    I can't wait to read the first report from a guest who escapes from Batuu to check out "For the First Time In Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along" or "Beauty & The Beast Live On Stage".

    Starcruiser: What do you think it'll be used for in 5 years?

    I find the responses on this thread amusing-but there's no way this is turning into a backstage storage building. Disney has been hyping the Star Cruiser so much that it's "Too big to fail" at this point. It will do well at first as the vloggers and the SW Geeks (those with money anyway) will...

    VGF Resort Studio: No Mini Kitchen??

    Even though sales haven't yet started, there is some information available on the official DVC website on the new "resort studios" that will be built in the refurbished Big Pine Key building. In addition to the points chart, there's a link to a room floor plan as well as a list of amenities...

    So who is going?

    I will be going to WDW in May of 2022. But it will be a resorts only trip. I am a DVC'er and getting a $600 room for $125 is still a really good deal. But while I won't be visiting the Disney Parks, I do plan to take three days or so to visit Universal and check out their parks, as I've never...

    Which decade did you first visit WDW?

    January 2002. I had been curious for years but work & family obligations-along with a general inertia (OK laziness) kept me away. But the deals were so good right after 9/11 that I knew this was the time. I got a flight/4 nights hotel/rental car for $400 from LA CA. Even though it was freezing...

    Disneyland suspends FastPasses and Extra Magic Hours when theme parks reopen - OCR/SCNG

    Then it will be like it was in the early days lol. For the first ten years of its existence DCA basically existed to take DL's overflow. But DCA was a pretty substandard park then as well.

    Ready to buy, push me over the edge

    Let me clarify about the "Disney Feel" thing. Yes there are subtle touches as there are everywhere at WDW. But it doesn't scream "DISNEY!!" at you constantly. That's what The Parks are for IMHO. When I am done with The Parks, just like when I am done at work, I want to get away & decompress. So...

    When Disneyland reopens, it's going to have even more of a privilege problem - SF Gate

    What you are referring to is something I like to call "trickle-down technology". Safety and other tech is introduced first in an automaker's most expensive models and is introduced over a period of years into their other products. Also other automakers copy just enough to avoid getting sued for...

    The species is MCO rental car in their natural habitat.

    Ready to buy, push me over the edge

    As a DVC Member and frequent WDW guest here’s my take: SSR advantages: Quiet and restful, Close to Disney Springs (although only Congress Park is really within walking distance), the new room & villa remodel is really attractive. SSR disadvantages: Somewhat distant from the parks, does not have...

    Reopening Disneyland

    The virus that caused the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1919, as well as the one for The Hong Kong Flu of 1968, are still circulating. But humans long ago built up herd immunity so those viruses are no longer a threat. The same will happen with Corona eventually. And it will happen more quickly with...

    Best hotels for couples?

    You're looking for a Rock & Roll trip you say? Then I'd suggest The Hard Rock at Universal. Or Pop Century-or Cabana Bay. And be sure to ride Rock & Roller Coaster. And Rip Ride Rocket if you're going to Universal.

    Disney Resorts Slowly Being Eroded and Dismantled by WDI, Guest Questioners and Outside Design Firms

    Personally I love Yacht Club. To me it's the classiest and most upscale Disney resort-even more so than than the Grand Floridian. I have never stayed there as it's out of my price range and doesn't have a DVC component. But I love to just relax in the lobby with my refillable mug enjoying the...

    Which resort for a new experience?

    I would wait on that until the monorail is open. DVC Polynesian is probably a two mile walk from MK. In Florida in August. As Olaf might say: "Nope!" Or-just walk to TTC and catch a nonstop monorail from there!

    Rumor Muppets to Take Over The Hall of Presidents

    I like this idea because I loved the "Great Moments In American History" show that was in Liberty Square for a little while. My only concern is that it will make HOP too popular. If that happens where are the nursing moms and old folks who need a nap supposed to go?

    Why do you think people still go to WDW?

    WDW is one of not too many travel options available right now. Cruises? Not sailing. International? Americans are not allowed hardly anywhere due to our pitiful pandemic response. California? No--just no. Even now most visitors to WDW are Disney Dorks like us. Now is not the time to come if...

    Strongly Considering a Trip to WDW: Please Help me plan or talk me out of it

    You have really done some research....I'm quite impressed. Not everyone does this ("Why isn't this place more like Six Flags??"😂🤣😕😒). As long as you are aware of all the limitations in place and the experiences that are currently excluded like live shows, fireworks, traditional parades, most...

    Politics Theme Park Reopening Guidelines to be released 10/20/20

    Not San Fran of course, but most of the districts here in the OC are very much in play. As the late House Speaker Tip O'Neill said "All Politics is Loco" (Actually Tip said "Local"...but Loco works too)

    Politics Theme Park Reopening Guidelines to be released 10/20/20

    For an even better experience--keep everyone locked inside until Super Bowl Sunday. Or until all the Thanksgiving leftovers are finished. Whichever comes last.
