    Carousel of Progress. Do you think it should have seat belts?

    I had a friend that once worked at the attraction. When someone leaves in the middle of the show, it sets off an alarm on the operating console. The Cast Member has to walk around the entire building to verify that it is clear before they can resume rotations. Depending on when that guest...

    MK New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Updates Coming to Walt Disney World

    The fog machines were important to being able to see your lazer however, they also would occasionally trip alarms in the building. This isnt a re-imagining of the ride. It is upgrading and refurbishing it. It looks great and the game play appears to much improved. Im pleased with this!

    News WDI Files New Permit for Hollywood Studios Entrance Toll Plaza Work

    When they built the new entrance, their measurements were off. There is not enough clearance for semi trailers or large bases. They have to drive to the side of it. I wonder if this is to fix it.

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I wondered if they would go this route, but I'm shocked it happened now and without acknowledgment or notice.

    News Walt Disney World Holidays 2025

    There's a lot of factors that go into party ticket capacity vs regular park capacity. Entertainment is a larger factor. With a special event that has more of a draw to characters parades and shows. They have to make sure attendees are able to get in the what the avg person expects to get in to...

    MK Walt Disney to Appear in Carousel of Progress with New Audio-Animatronic at Magic Kingdom

    Let me first say how much I love Carousel of Progress, it's history and the scenes that haven't changed much over the years. I still would like to see a new COP cut from the same cloth but for a new generation. The original relied on nostalgia from Walt's generation to show how much progress...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I'm sort of in agreement. I'm really glad people like it. I didn't think 2.0 was that bad, but I'm not fully impressed by 3.0. I'm in full agreement with your pros (lidar, projection room, and canopy). I LOVE the new canopy. The other stuff fell a bit more flat for me. I like Test Track 1.0 &...

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    I'm surprised by this announcement, but not shocked. I think it was a matter of time that we would have seen another park/resort somewhere with the South Asia/Middle East region due to the population. I think it is surprising to see some of the comments on this though. Regardless of local...

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    Prepare to be underwhelmed temporarily here.

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    I imagine this is more of what we will see in the short term. Once Mermaid open, the rest of the Courtyard will need something else to stay fresh. Disney Junior and Launch Bay are prime locations for something minor to get people's attention until a much larger project opens up. So I think we...

    Fascinating Scene Here at Star Tours

    Sounds more akin to a fire if the entire building was evacuated, but it must have been serious enough to block off the surrounding area meaning it may have been a larger threat.

    Rumor MK Space Mountain REVISED in 2026? (One track? side-by-side seating?)

    I have always been a fan of WDW Space over DL Space because the track layout was better even though DLs has other great qualities. WDWs Space Mountain does need to be replaced badly though. The building does have a lot of space that I'd hope a two track replacement could happen. I also think...
