    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Not sure where you are getting that information from as no timelines have been announced yet. I would imagine we would see this open up in 2017 at the latest as it seems highly improbable that DHS will sit nearly completely shuttered for three more years without getting anything new. If they are...

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I love this idea and find it very creative. I'm just struggling to conceptualize how this would physically work. Seems like any potential ways to do this would require several complicated mechanical parts that could definitely cause a lot of down time for a park that can't afford to have rides...

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    As much as I want it to be Intamin track (Intamin has made some of the best coasters in the world), I doubt Disney is working with Intamin on this coaster. I seem to recall some disagreements between Disney and Intamin with modifications made to California Screamin' at DCA after the ride was...

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Yup. The flying saucers technology the ride opened with doesn't really work as well as anticipated and the ride isn't very popular so they are redeveloping it using a trackless system similar to what is used at attractions in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Paris.

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I think it is unreasonable to expect two massive expansions containing new E-tickets to be announced at the same time. The Toy Story area's role is to increase capacity, and I think it will do that extremely well based on what has been announced.

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    As far as we know right now it could be anything. The first thing I thought of when I saw the Alien ride was Luigi's Flying Tires in California, but since they are already replacing the old school flying saucers system that was originally with that ride with a new trackless system, I figured the...

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The presentation is over now. Other WDW announcements include some updates on Avatar, new Soarin' video coming to Epcot, and a few small Star Wars related attractions (not rides) to tide over until the new land is built.

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I'm actually very impressed with this addition. The family coaster looks like it has the potential to be fantastic, and who knows what the Alien ride could bring. It would be really nice to see the utilization of a trackless system like what is in place at Mystic Manor in Hong Kong and...

    Swiss Family Treehouse closing for 10 week refurbishment in July 2016

    I just don't want to see a repeat of the atrocity that currently exists at DLR. And as far as the Disney incarnations of these stories goes, I'd consider Swiss Family Robinson FAR more classic than Tarzan.

    Swiss Family Treehouse closing for 10 week refurbishment in July 2016

    I'm not religious, but I'm going to say a few prayers that what comes out of this is not Tarzan and/or Pirate themed. Stick with the classics please!

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    I guess that's more what I was envisioning. So if this is truly a Frontierland expansion, then I can see how Cars doesn't fit at all. Obviously these are all rumors at this point, but are we sure this is only an expansion of a current themed area (I mean based on what those "in the know" have...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    I agree with most of the points you make here, and honestly, I think I would be completely ok and very intrigued if they decided to build attraction on some obscure IP. Obviously Disney's collection and range of IP is massive and I'm not going to pretend to be familiar with all of it, but to the...

    Possible Frontierland expansion

    Deep down I'm really hoping they bring a non-IP E-Ticket to Frontierland. It's worked well recently in other Disney parks (Mystic Manor at HKDL, heck even Everest), but I'm doubtful that WDW execs are willing to forgo the the IP route. :(

    Coming Soon: Ranked List of Every Milkshake at WDW

    Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know about a project I just launched today called "The Disney Project" on my milkshake review blog, What's Shakin' with The Chum?. Typically, I review a different milkshake place every Sunday, but with the Disney project, I hope to review all 24 locations...

    Annual Pass FastPass+ Glitch

    I called a few times and haven't made any progress. I went ahead and booked the two days I could and then I'm hoping I can just add myself to the rest of the group's reservations day by day on my earlier trip.
