DIS certainly gets more traffic. Micechat would be the other, although that of course is DL focussed.
WDWMAGIC is certainly more on-subject than most, even some that may be larger.

I have a question!
The MK version of Haunted Mansion now is supposedly superior now to the DL version.
How come after I rode it recently, I felt like something was missing. I didn't appreciate it as much I do when I ride the DL version. Why?!?
My guess is that the MK is too lit up and is too colorful, while the DL version is dark and foreboding, but I don't know...

I'm at the Wilderness Lodge right now, staying in the Villas. (Chaperoning only 5 teenagers this time, not like the 10 we watched last time at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.) They also have construction going on here for the water feature. From what I've been told, it's been dragging on for some time. It does seem odd that TDO would OK simultaneous construction for 3 of the Magic Kingdom's 4 Deluxe Resorts during summer season.
Wilderness Lodge occupancy is 79%, surprisingly low during vacation season for what's perhaps WDW's least expensive Deluxe Resort, one that's conveniently close to the Magic Kingdom.
Check out my soon to be posted new thread. ... the above will definitely be hit on.
I have a question for you, though. What do you think of the renovated units at WLV? I had planned on stopping by there and asking to see one ('Angie' is thinking of adding points there when she wakes up from her drunken stupor from partying over Germany's World Cup win, which only happened because I am wearing my lucky EPCOT Germany cap!) ... I have heard mixed reviews. Any pics you can share with us here? Thoughts?
I have never bought food items at a WDW resort, so I admit I don't pay much attention. But I have seen two-liter bottles of Sprite go for over $3 and I recall my old pal @CBOMB complaining about being gouged on beer at said resort. Maybe prices have been lowered due to complaints or the fact that Disney know sells these items to CMs at Property Control/Cast Connection.

You would NEVER know Disney owned Marvel based on WDW.
The characters, obviously, have no presence. And merchandise was largely pulled from the parks years ago because they didn't want guests asking where the Spidey and Hulk attractions were. ... I saw one Avengers pin on a rack in Toontown 4.0's Circus Tent shop last weekend. I saw a few Marvel prints (the $39 variety) mixed in with Disney and Star Wars and Pixar at Studios Gallery. But, really, you could visit WDW and never know they have any connection to Marvel and I think that is what they want.
That is one dead-on piece of analysis right there. You nailed it!
It is OK -- in fact, I tend to respect those folks more -- to have a life beyond fan discussion boards. I enjoy coming here and chatting. I like to educate and entertain and provoke discussion. But I can shut it off, even with my own OCD tendencies.
I have heard 7-8 is the optimal number. I have never heard nine, but I don't tend to focus on those aspects of attractions.
The Spirit pays for one.
I pay for six.
I think I have The Spirit beat.
Sometimes, the Spirit doesn't even pay for one. That's how us Faux Top One Percenters roll.

I've been hearing worrisome things about the show's budget being hacked and it losing elements (water screens for instance) left and right. Not been able to confirm, but very good sources have heard the same tales.

Who are you and what did you do with the real Spirit?
Why Frozen of course! Lou Mongello told me so!

The 1960s original was a true classic and a great film ... but everything that has come since (from the 70s sequels to the Burton reboot to the Franco film of three years ago) has been largely mediocre to unwatchable. ... I think a close friend may want to go see it with me, though.
I heard he was at Kingdom on the Twitter ... I think that is the other name of Vista Way where the jauzzi was recently removed by a team from the CDC in Atlanta!
I will die of laughter if this is true. That place is like every party school in the US wrapped into one + some.
I do know of things that were cut, but I can't comment further because UNI is quite serious about leaks and I don't want this being traced back.
The bottom line, though, is any/every attraction ever built has had things removed, reworked or never operated and Gringotts is no different. At least it would appear (I have NOT ridden yet) the attraction is great anyway.
I do know this attraction was designed to be more accessible than Forbidden Journey. The Mummy meets Spidey on 'roids comparison is one I hear quite a bit of.

When I was in college, they re-released Grease for its 20th anniversary. A bunch of us went opening night. Talk about not being prepared going in! Not only were the songs sung along to. Most of the crowd was talking the dialogue in perfect sync as well!
It was actually pretty cool to experience, but totally unexpected. Had no idea the impact that film had.
I haven't seen Frozen, but I work with kids and nothing has compared to the impact of this film with young girls in all the years I've been around.
