    Flight of Passage + People of Size = Disappointing

    5’10, about 350, 58” waist, and a no go on FoP—But was able to go everything else at WDW, 7DMT included! Universal was better than expected in some ways but not others: Tonight Show ride: Cast members had seatbelt extensions, wasn’t a problem. The Mummy: Was OK on the test seat, but a no go...

    What Would You Do?

    None of the above. If you're paying to do Ultimate Day of Thrills, and you're a couple without kids, you can cover the rest of MK in 1 day having hit the big rides with long lines on the VIP tour. That you've picked the Ultimate Day of Thrills VIP tour suggests that you like intense rides...

    How much is dining a part of your Disney vacation?

    A big part. Disney meals aren't just meals; they're often entertainment. My favorite TSs are the ones with a theme--50s Prime Time, Biergarten, Be Our Guest, Whispering Canyon Cafe, etc.--and those are experiences unique to Disney. Even the signature restaurants I've really liked have a...

    What's wrong with me?? (being jaded)

    I'm in the same boat as you--32, no kids yet. It's a combination of growing up and park decline. I can't wait to go when I have kids to show the park for the first time, but for myself, I've seen and done it all enough times now. And then on top of that, there's WDW's decline in attractions...

    DisneyQuest closing

    Would rather have seen them fix DisneyQuest than tear it down, but I can understand them tearing it down. I don't understand why Disney keeps replacing things with ideas that are "trendy" but no one really wants. There's an ESPN Club restaurant at Boardwalk already. It's...there. It's mildly...

    Malestrom Becomes "Frozen Ever After"

    I thought it was less the lack of Figment than that it was joyless and boring :). But that works too; it's not like I've written a full story board for the attraction :). The important part is to build a new ride with a more innovative feature or story than "faces on the animatronics look more...

    Malestrom Becomes "Frozen Ever After"

    Agree with the posters who are complaining not that it's replacing Maelstrom, but that it's nothing more than a ride overlay with improved animatronics. Sea World just put in a big Antarctica land with innovative trackless ride vehicles--Disney couldn't have gotten any ideas for Frozen from...

    Mission Space Orange vs. Green???

    Green does not spin. It does shake, tilt, and move, much like Star Tours. But since it doesn't spin, you don't get the "pressed into your seat" feeling you do on Orange.

    Whats Wrong with Disney?

    This is an interesting comment because Disney's not even doing a great job with that! Let's see how many attractions we can find in desperate need of repairs or changes: MK: Carousel of Progress Stitch's atrocity Splash Mountain (AAs frequently aren't operating) Country Bear Jamboree...

    Which park would you leave out?Why?

    AK. My favorite park has always been Epcot. On my last two trips: Trip 1: 7.5 days; 2.5 Epcot, 2 DHS (1 SWW), 1 MK, 1 AK, 1 BB Trip 2: 4 days; 2.5 Epcot, 1 MK, .5 DHS (my wife slept in that morning while I rushed through the big rides). Maybe if AK grows and DHS keeps stagnating...

    WDW's Coaster Phobia

    The problem is less that there's no modern mega/giga/stratocoaster and more that WDW hasn't shown any real ambition since Everest. Instead we get reskinning of thrill rides (Test Track, Star Tours, Goofy's Skycoaster), dark rides that are the same as the others with different animatronics (The...

    HELP....Need a Steakhouse on Property

    We did both Yachtsman and Le Cellier on our last trip. I think service was better at Yachtsman, and it was quieter. The food was excellent at both. I preferred the Le Cellier bone-in ribeye to the NY Strip I got at Yachtsman, but I think that's mostly because it was a bone-in ribeye :). I'd...

    Hoop De Doo?

    If you've got a car, driving will be easiest. Since beer and wine are included in the price, make sure you've got a designated driver :) If it's the ordinary dining plan, it's not a bad deal but it's not the most efficient use of your credits. Whether you want to use 2 credits on that or...

    50's Prime Time Cafe

    Yes, unless you're the sort of person who doesn't like playing along with the "theme." If you would get angry at a waitress pretending to be a family member and playfully scolding you for taking out a cell phone or not eating your vegetables, this probably isn't for you. But if you would find...

    Little Mermaid (MK vs HS), Nemo (Epcot vs AK)

    It follows the events of the movie, but it's a slightly different story. Instead of Nemo getting caught and Marlin going to rescue him, Nemo goes through the same scenes Marlin does in the movie with Marlin & Dory following behind. Nemo AK is the exact movie storyline. And of these 4, not...

    Little Mermaid (MK vs HS), Nemo (Epcot vs AK)

    All four are completely different (well, except for being based on the same movie for each pair): DHS Little Mermaid and AK Nemo are both shows. Little Mermaid DHS features live actors and animatronics, and mostly follows the storyline and songs of the movie. Nemo is entirely done with...

    Disappointed in seven dwarfs mine ride!

    I think the disappointment is in the general lack of innovation at WDW in the last 5 years. DLR got Cars Land, with a true E-ticket (even if largely a Test Track clone) in Radiator Springs Racers, a few more rides, and great theming. In that time, Universal's gotten WWoHP, Springfield, it's...

    The Best and The Worse Meal you had at WDW

    Best: Le Cellier. Amazing bone-in ribeye. Worst: Garden Grill. Good characters, but food was kind of meh. Most mixed: Chefs de France. The food was great, and it was even better as dinner right after my engagement...but my wife, then fiance, had a bad reaction to the onions in the French...

    The Middle filming in MK

    It is an ABC family sitcom, they had to go eventually! Maybe the nice rich family whose name I can't remember lets them use a timeshare or Mike gets paid to go to a conference...I'm sure they can come up with some excuse :)

    Frozen

    So, does anyone know if BBB is offering Anna's hairstyle with the partial white braid? I have to think that tons of little girls would want to copy that!
