The Skyline is one of those things that I love that they added. It is free, you get to see a bird's eye view of some of the property of Disney, and go visit resorts that you wouldn't have done before. It adds to the experience.

I think this is Epcot in a walk. There are parks that are similar to the other. Disneyland obviously has plenty of similiarities to Magic Kingdom. Animal Kingdom in itself is unique. Busch Gardens has a similar plan but the theming is much better at Animal Kingdom. That being said, there is no...

What we are seeing is the first generation (kids born in the 1980s) that didn't have children. And by that I mean the birthrate has plummeted. People who were hippies in the 1960s still eventually settled down and had a family in the 1970s. Late Gen-X and early Millennials are the first...

Everest is a very underrated and thrilling coaster, even without the Yeti at 100%. But this vote goes to Pirates. Even the WDW version. Other than perhaps Haunted Mansion, there is no better ride in the parks than Pirates. None I enjoy more and none with better quality or attention to detail...

I doubt it will take long to do this. Usually it takes months with a new President. But they have Trump already and basically all they have to do is switch him and Biden and maybe record a new message. It shouldn't take long, maybe a month or two if I were to guess? What should be done and will...

Pirates is going to win this poll in a walk. It is my pick too. May I add that I love just cruising on the transportation boats just for fun at the Boardwalk or Disney Springs.

Most Disney fans never wanted it gone in the first place. You can tell simply by reading these boards and by remembering how long the lines were. It was a mistake to get rid of it, why are people so stubborn to admit this?

Yeah I know, that's even more disappointing. I follow Floyd Norman on social media. He posts a lot of neat stuff, just the type of stuff you'd expect a former Disney animator would post. Recently he posted the tar baby scene from Song of the South and noted how disappointed he was that such a...

So all I am hearing about Tiana is just how inferior it is to Splash. I predicted this from the get go because you simply can't replace a beloved attraction that is among the most popular ever built. It is like doing a remake of "Jaws" or "The Godfather". Without even seeing the movie we know it...

Dang, can you elaborate on that? To each their own of course but these are epic shows almost universally beloved. What is it about them you don't care for?

Haunted Mansion and Pirates are like steak or lobster for me. I think Haunted Mansion is just so immersive and an excellent attention to detail that I just can't overlook it. It's the best ride quite possibly in the world. Now, if this is Disneyland, just based on the length of the Pirates ride...

I was 10 years old and was convinced that the Presidents sitting up there were real. It amazed me. And it still does. I was so happy all of my kids loved the show. Honestly, I thought they might be bored but they weren't. I figured just based on the Walt-created charm that CoP wins this poll...

People in 2024 are so overly offended that someone actually calling them out for bad manners offends them. This is the fruits we have bore in the 21st century unfortunately.

I could have sworn I had done it right when I filled the thread out originally. Either way, a mod seems to have fixed it. Wow, a dominating 13-1 advantage for CoP? Didn't think it would be that big of a difference. Nixon was the first President when it opened in 1971. I've personally seen Bush...

Which show is better in your mind? Or which one do you enjoy the most? This is a tough one, because they are both great shows for different reasons. In a way Walt was behind both of them. We know for sure he created Carousel of Progress since it was at the 1964 World's Fair. But another thing...
