    EPCOT AmAd Updates for USA 250th?

    Years ago, it was 3 parts… Fife and Drum, then Voices of Liberty, then American Adventure. It was a complete package. So, even if someone never looked at the showtimes they would always be something in progress or about to begin when they arrived at the pavilion.

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    A one seat ride which equates to 45-60 minutes of time back most days - much more on bad days. But way off topic.

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Don’t need 10,000 SF of impervious coverage to enjoy the beach. Besides, they do not let riff-raff like me onto their beach. Cleanup is necessary. It is better to shut it off and quickly fix the problem. Otherwise, the idiots in charge have time to over-regulate a “solution”. I have worked...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    If your point is people build in stupid places, I agree. If your point is that the severity of storms is increasingly unpredictable, I agree. If your point is sometimes life sucks, I agree. But I had two cruises rerouted due to hurricanes, one in August and one in September - different years, so...

    News Harambe Market Refurbishment Planned Ahead of Restaurantosaurus Closure

    I am not an expert. I am not of Italian descent. But an unfortunate combination of doughy crust, bland tomato sauce and low quality mozzarella is combined and labeled “pizza” in most venues in Disney.

    News Harambe Market Refurbishment Planned Ahead of Restaurantosaurus Closure

    I am from NJ and I detest Florida “pizza”. But when my kids were little, we went to Pizzafari more than once and I got a salad. One, kids are picky and two, air conditioning. As wonderful as Flame Tree or Yak and Yeti are, the seating is outside and I (and little kids) need a break from the...

    Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2025

    Several of the adults on our trip questioned why we did not just get a 6-day pass like we had in the past. When I showed them the difference between the numbers only 2 of 16 decided they wanted the 6-day pass.

    Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2025

    This was our plan for our trip last week. The 3-day, 3 park pass and our MK day was Friday’s (8/22) party. Edited to add… Of course, the plan included watching the fireworks from O’hana during Tuesday night’s party. With our large party (16) we sent the kids with mother-in-law to have the...

    WDW July 4 2025

    I have no insider info. I am just a mom who travels with a “tribe.” There will be 16 of us on our August trip. Our kids go back to school after labor so we very often travel 3rd/4th week of August due to pricing and lower crowds. This is the first time I called group dining 59 days out (60...

    MK Prairie Outpost in Frontierland to reopen soon as a hat shop

    A heavy hat probably not, but there are plenty of people who do not realize how strong the Florida sun is and forget to pack a hat. Will this be a replacement for “La Chapeau”? Visiting the talented seamstresses who would embroider a little one’s first set of ears was a very special part of a...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    The first one is Pocahontas. I agree second is Mulan. Because of the white on the other two, I was thinking Uncle Scrooge and Launchpad, but they are not with the other ducks. Then, I thought about Pongo and Perdita, but then there would be more scattered black. Mary Poppins wears a white dress...

    Interesting new transportation Option: Whoosh - Autonomous Elevated Cable & Rail System

    Texas and Florida are warm all year. Jersey is not. It is my understanding snow and ice were major contributing factors to the deterioration of the airtrain at Newark. If the cable is not moving constantly, like a ski lift, ice will be an issue. Back on topic, if a similar stationary cable...
