How is questioning The Mom ever a good idea?
I allowed your first remark to stand, ie, you were in line for 7DMT. Everything else belonged in a trip report or the multiple threads devoted to the 7DMT opening. This is not the thread for a string of photos, talking about where you are headed next, etc. So they were all deleted.

End of conversation.
my bad! I thought I posted those under my trip report thread! I hit reply without checking where it was going. Please accept my apology. I was all confused as to what was going on.

EDIT - As proof of my intention, you will see I posted early on that all updates will be on my trip report thread.

Unless Hasbro has the copyright for the term how can they C&D anyone for using it?

The topic isn't so much over using the word... But is about haasbro cracking down on the community. What they go after is the use of the images, copyrighted material, etc. in effect, if you become 'undesirable'... All the graces you had before .. Can disappear. That was the point I believe :)

Just think how many blogs use Disney imagery, copyrighted or trademarked names, slogans, music, etc.

How many kids in MK at midnight? I think the target audience has probably been asleep for hours.

I wasn't there at midnight.

It's my opinion that the coaster more appeals to adults. That's all. And it's my opinion that they made a mistake targeting it towards children. I don't know why you want to question just an opinion.

Chaos. Confusion. Poorly behaving guests. Thousands of people in lines.

Similar to Friday the 13th
Poor crowd control once again? They didn't learn from last year's event with the villains?

Something tells me, if they added in a "shadowlands" to Fantasyland somewhere, it would go over extremely well with guests since villains are extremely popular.

Not questioning your opinion at all. Your post was after midnight so I assumed you had ridden it in the evening around that time and that could be a reason you wouldn't see many kids in line. I shouldn't ASSume things. In this case the saying was dead on:)

So in the future could Disney send Spirit a C&D for having a user name with WDW in it? How about my picture of goofy? I can understand not wanting a negative spin on your products, but policing it will be tough.

The quoted tweet explicitly said "C&Ding use of the word brony".

So I'll ask again, how can they do that if they don't own the rights.

Just watched the MSEP MK live stream and... Please, disney, don't drag this rotting corpse back to Disneyland for it's anniversary. It would be so insulting.

Even though it looked better tonight than the last time I saw it, it's...still a mess.

And I hate that tribute to America float tacked onto the end of it, it makes no sense with the rest of the parade being disney characters.

I'm glad the MK stream looks good. Too bad the DL ones kinda crapped the bed. :/

WHAT'S THAT? YOU HATE AMERICA? ARE YOU A COMMUNIST?

Seriously though, luckily for DLR, a smart decision was made. DLR is getting a brand new light parade next year, likely a clone of the one opening in HKDL this fall, so MK will be stuck with the Night of the Living Electrical Parade until they decide to let it kick the can.

land behind mermaid I believe is firework territory for wishes.
With how much space TDO has around MK, it's pure laziness that they aren't willing to build a new area for the fireworks. MK has enough land around it to add 35-45 acres to its current areas. TDO just has to bother to take the money it wastes on things like MyMagic, and apply it to reworking backstage space.

What's the point of utilidors and the expansive resort space if they don't use the stuff they can?

And they probably won't spend the money on a new one either.

A coaster that is targeting adults would have a 48"+ height requirement.

Aside from Rock n' Roller Coaster, none of the ones at WDW are what I'd call thrill-orientated. Everest and Space Mountain are kid-friendly enough (44") while Big Thunder is generally one of the first "big" coasters little kids go on (40")

SDMT is really a bridge between Barnstormer and BTM. 35"-38"-40"
