    Disney slowly losing some of what made it special.

    It's not all about you Eliza ;-) People actually live in other countries and travel to Disney Parks abroad quite frequently. I'm comparing the costs of the park admission, souvinereres, food & beverage to the quality received. WDW ranks the lowest with the highest costs to the lowest quality...

    Disney slowly losing some of what made it special.

    Disney World is the Walmart location of their 6 sites. It's their money maker. There is a lot less IP takeover, crap souvenir stores and alcoholic themed beverages elsewhere. WDW listens to survey results to decide what to build next, not the creatives or Imagineers. Short term gains will drive...

    Club 33 Members?

    http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2015/06/disneyland_club_33_lawsuit_member.php Interesting indeed! Selling membership for profit is obviously a no no.

    Who wants to crowdfund a membership that we can all share? :-)

    Club 33 Members?

    Hi There! It's been years since I've engaged on the WDWmagic forums. It feels surreal to be posting again honestly. This is the place where I first found an outlet for my Disney passion (I was a kid in middle school back when WDW magic opened). Since then I've continued to grow my passion...

    Very Interesting Info about Partners Statue

    Well, I can't be sure about the reasoning behind Partners, but I do know for a fact the reason Cast Members point with two fingers. It's not because pointing with one finger is considered rude in some cultures as you might expect. With attractions like COP and the offensively introverted...

    COP refurb

    COP needs to be restored back to the way is was originally presented. To evenly distribute the scenes with the eras leading up to present-day, you would have to completely re-build all of the scenes. I wouldn't want to see any of the first 4 scenes negated just to make the attraction more...

    Aqueduct/Water Bridge to Contemporary and MK

    Something that has bothered me for years is the lack of attention given to the aqueduct roadway tunnel (connecting Bay Lake and 7 Seas). Compare this tunnel to the one between the Boardwalk and Beach Club. It's a night and day comparison. I know there are bigger issues at the parks, but...

    minor Laugh Floor info

    Saw it yesterday. It has potential. As soon as the cast become comfortable in thier roles, I think we will take to it better than Turtle Talk. In other news, I like ice cream!

    Say "NO!" to Pixie Dust pins!

    It will be the difference between those who give away their extra FastPasses to others and those who just choose to throw them away. I think all people generally enjoy the act of gift giving. It makes the giver feel good, and it makes the receiver feel good (all at Disney's expense, thanks to...

    Say "NO!" to Pixie Dust pins!

    This sounds like an interesting strategy to promote polite Guest behavior in the parks. This is something WDW needs. Guests are getting pushier, more inconsiderate, and less grateful each year. If this program can increase good guest behavior, then I'm all for it.

    This is true from more than one source that I've seen.
