Seriously. Excellent food, excellent historical monuments, beautiful and kind people, beautiful sights to see… What more could you ask for? I uncontrollably cried the night before my flight back home. My trip was perfect. The dream is to relocate there at some point in my life. We’ll see.

Can we join you? I promise Colby and I are clean... kind... and love to cook.

1 week in a private villa in Trastevere and my heart's been there ever since. Especially as someone who studied Roman archaeology in college, I've never seen a more beautiful place whose history is quite literally at the seams of the built landscape.

Certo (“of course” in Italian)!

I didn't get that either. It's just Midway Mania, except you don't get a gun and there's a twink in the pre-show. Why?
I'm clearly not the target audience for this Marvel stuff, let me just say that up front. But I am a theme park fan. Before I moved from OC I had a few passing thoughts of making a trip to Disneyland/DCA to see it as a "local" one last time. I even pieced together a hotel stay on a couple of potential dates. Then I stopped. Nothing about this new Marvel Land appealed to me, and the rest of the property was all the same or still on Covid closures as of this past April. So... why even bother?
It's beyond baffling that they put that ride system and concept in the same park a few hundred yards from Midway Mania. Idiots. I can't even blame Bob Chapek for it, as there had to be a whole bunch of other people who sold the idea to Bob Chapek.
Because God knows Chapek isn't going to have any sort of vision for a theme park, beyond applying the troublesome App and confusing rules branded with plus signs to more stuff.

Breezing through Indiana Jones's queue isn't a good idea either. Too bad none of the queue effects work anymore.

Is there a reason why people on Twitter are expecting Disney to soon announce "Walt" is getting dropped from Walt Disney World? (genuine question)

“Walt” was dropped from “Walt Disney Pictures,” so it wouldn’t surprise me.

Not one of the Marvel rides I've done are good, and I'm not sure what it says about the other rides that Guardians is easily the best of them.I didn't get that either. It's just Midway Mania, except you don't get a gun and there's a twink in the pre-show. Why?

I also don't feel like it really did a good job of explaining what you were supposed to do on Webslingers (in terms of how to shoot). Maybe I was zoning out but it seemed poorly explained to me (same for Smugglers too actually with the different roles).
And there's an internet with plenty of videos showing a superior Spider-Man ride that's more than 20 years old. I just don't get it.

He’s problematic. They should take down the Partners Statue next.

According to Len Testa on this week's Disney Dish, it likely has more to do with tourists by and large referring to the resort as Disney World or Disneyworld rather than Walt Disney World.
Personally, I hope the name remains WDW. But hey, this is the company that had the gall to replace Maelstrom, so all bets are off.

The Partners statue should arguably be removed, in all seriousness.
Weird timing if true no? They don’t play the opening day day speech on Disneylands birthday for the first time in decades (undoubtedly because it was the first time I was in attendance on the parks anniversary) and now they re considering taking “Walt” out of Walt Disney World?

Interesting. Wasn't aware this was a tradition. Has Disney cited a reason for not playing the speech?

Why? I ask sincerely; not trolling.

Well, Walt Disney was not the kind of man that would have liked something like a statue of him being erected. There’s good intention behind the statue, but…
I don’t mind it being up, but I wouldn’t make a big stink if it were to be removed.
