    Why are Americans so charming?

    Well, for one, if you're going to Orlando, presumably Disney, they are going to be extra nice there - they generally have excellent hospitality skills. That said, it does depend on where you go in the country. Some regions don't ahve a reputation for being overly nice and polite. Interestingly I...

    Beyond Big Thunder

    Well, for me, a night time parade would be a good start. The fact is, while I welcome expansion, MK needs it the least. They could bring back some street performers, etc. and that would make a big difference (not to mention general maintenance). The other parks are where they really need more...

    I mean, it could be teaching those young'uns what good music actually is! 🤣

    I don't necessarily mind that Guardians is in Epcot, but it would have been nice if it had like a post-show area about space or energy sources for theoretical faster-than-light travel, etc. I do like how it is the Xandar Pavillion for the World Showcase though.

    Yeah, the plans for Play! weren't great, but that is why they lost that space as the Festival Center. I would still like to see the pavillion become something.

    Communicore Hall did replace the planend new festial center, so hopefully they will still use it as such. I am not sure how downgraded the facilities are. Of course, the grand plan was to transform the Wonders of Life pavilion into something, but that hasn't happened....

    Well, and as I have stated before, there have been lots of dinosaur finds in South America, so it could still work. Keep the Institute, but replace the Dino-Rama. I just don't really think it needs Indiana Jones, and I don't think that just because the ride system is the same that they have to...

    Ride differences between DL and WDW

    It can definitely be weird for a WDW vet at DLR for the first time. I remember thinking about it as "Bizarro World" - almost the same, but not quite. It's like, "Why is Big Thunder on the wrong side of the river?" The trickiest thing was finding restrooms - "There's should be one right...here?"...

    After Hours Events - Ask Questions and Share Experiences Here

    I like that review - I am going next week on Monday night and it sounds like you had a good time! Was TRON really that easy to get on? You did that during Enchantment, yes? I was planning to do the same thing - buy an ILL for it (before I even get on the plane 😁) for like 7:30 PM and do that...

    1 wdw splurge?

    I have not done Wild Africa Trek, but it is definitely the one I would want to do the most. Usually it's just a time thing as I tend to take short trips and never feel that I want to devote so much time to it. It looks amazing though.

    Was Disney expecting Elena Of Avalor to become a hit on TV for Disney Junior?

    I think that Elena was a decent hit for them, however Disney Jr. shows usually have a pretty short shelf life. The kids who are into it age out and move on, so they cycle the shows quickly. Elena had a large merch push though and I think was pretty popular in general.

    What's Your Favorite Song on Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I have only gotten Flock of Seagulls and Tears for Fears (twice). I actually don't care for the slowness of Everybody Wants to Rule the World. Blondie is probably most my style (though I like Flock too!), but honestly I can always go for a little Earth, Wind, & Fire! If I brought my parents, I...

    But there's nothing inherently wrong with a disnosaur themed area. It could use some work for sure, however I could see them keeping the basic theme. I think the Dino-Rama should probably get axed in favor of something more like a fossil dig, an extension of the Dinosaur ride. Now, I kind of...

    What's your favourite Disney memory?

    I've had so many great ones, so it's hard to narrow it down. The most memorable though would be when my mom took us and we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside (before the name change). Anyway, one evening we had eaten dinner at the restaurant and I think I had been playing in the arcade. Anyway, it...

    Have You Ever Tried Dipping Sauces with Your Disneyland Churro?

    A lot of the specialty churros come with sauce - and I will gladly use it. I seem to remember a frosting dip for the Carrot Cake churros I had once.

    I don't think general discussion should be an issue as long as you don't quote anything particularly off-color from the trailer (I have not watched it). Ask away.

    Would you go on a game show?

    Oh yeah - They would show your head in an inset is the camera panned over all these things with price tags - you spent your winnings on what you wanted and I think you could defer the rest to be used later. I don't think you ever just took home the cash though. Heck, I remember when Wheel...

    Beyond Big Thunder

    Hulk would be a reasonably easy retheme. Spider-Man though would be a major loss. Personally I say keep it - it actually has the coolest versions of the Marvel characters.

    slo’s MONDAY 4/22 poll - Disney Parks Dining 🍽️

    I eat wherever I want and it can depend on the trip. If it's just me, then I tend to focus on quick service, but I will do table service too. I don't do a lot of signature places, but mostly because of the time or location. I tend to have shorter trips that are quite packed, so I want to...

    Crowds on a day Magic Kingdom closes early?

    I agree. If you plan to hop anyway, then it's definitely a good idea to make that day one of your early MK days.
