    News Round Up

    Recalling a day-by-day review in one of the all ears.net blogs, I'm recalling that both Tokyo parks were incredibly crowded, and had 2-3 hour lines for even the chintziest of rides, hour lines for food/etc... I don't know if it's an exact correlation, but if THAT is the trade-off, then I am a...

    Bob Iger contract extended

    I love it too. You're certainly not the only one. He has been great for the company fiscally and entertainment-wise. I love the intellectual property he's acquired, and I personally thing FP+ is great. As far as parks goes - Things are/have moved slowly in Florida, and not much to them...

    Magic Kingdom Welcome Show - During Railroad Rehab?

    Good morning. Wondering if anyone happens to know if they will still do the full welcome show at MK (on non-EMH mornings), while the Railroad is down for Rehab? Thanks!

    12 Hollywood Studios Rumors (A Disney Rumors video is on pg. 1) and (an update is on pg. 16)

    Actually, I'd argue that the demographic is perfect: My generation, the original-trilogy generation, all has kids between 2 and 14 now. If that's not an ideal match in terms of getting (mostly) dads who are making money, and are ready to spend it on their family, excited to go take their kids...

    Be Our Guest Lunch FastPass Thread [PLEASE read the FAQs in the first post!]

    It's having issues right now it appears. It was down last night at 12 when I went on as well. Hopefully will come back soon, and hopefully I'll see you at BoG on the 22nd... hehehe (my day too).

    News Round Up

    A lot of people don't post here, because they feel like there's no point, since they're not one of the three people whose opinions apparently are "right" or "matter". Discussion is different than what usually happens in this forum. Discussion is a back and forth between multiple parties...

    Why no official announcement for Maelstrom rehab?

    I'd imagine the biggest reason is that they're still not sure of timing. If they're rushing to throw something new in there (good or bad - no judgement here), but they're not ready yet, it makes sense not to commit to a timeframe yet, until they've got a firm handle as to what exactly needs...

    Mid October Discounts?

    Was just gonna post this. Was also able to apply to POFQ for Oct 21-28 on a king bed. Not bad savings. I'll take it. $60 sounds low. It was around $300 for me for 7 nights

    Disney Imagineer Jason Surrell has left the company

    Disappointing, but it sounds like there were some issues there behind the scenes. His books are phenomenal, and I highly recommend his books on Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, and the Disney Mountains. All are excellent.

    I Heard A Rumour!

    I'm quite sorry everyone - didn't realize it was a troll. I won't feed it anymore. :)

    Disney, Why...? The TDO Footprint Constraint

    I'd love to know at what ratios other parks/expansions took place. Obviously can't compare to UOR historically very well, but maybe a trend can be found within the employment numbers that you used, if those #s can be found for years epcot, MGM, AK, DHS expansion, etc... all happened? or does...

    I Heard A Rumour!

    A) Love that Starbucks being a large popular company makes them "evil" whilst apparently Disney being a larger company is not? B) Because you know, Walt and Roy and so on and so forth never got sponsors for anything except everything... and there were never corporate logos plastered around in...

    Your 10 Worst Things and 10 Best Things About WDW

    Ten Worst: 10) World Showcase's operating hours: I'd love to be able to visit in the AM, spreading some of the crowds from the E-tickets in Future World to the promenade. I think this would help everyone! 9) Dole Whip: Sorry, not to start a controversy here, but as a regular traveler to...

    From French Quarter to Boma

    Oof. Lots of negativity in there! I've done this exact trip POFQ to AKL multiple times (we really enjoy Boma for breakfast!) and never has it taken us 2 hours. Give yourself an hour and a half from your door to the restaurant and you should have plenty of time. You can always cab it from AK...

    Non-Smokers

    Like PP, I'm a smoker trying to quit. I don't smoke anywhere near my kid. At Disney, that means I have one or two a day, at the resort, at night after she's in bed, at the furthest DSA on the resort grounds. In the park, I have no problem with people in the DSAs (yes, sad for the people who...

    This forum is called "Rumors and News"...

    not "Post a detailed description here about why you deserve/NEED free dining" There are other sections of this board for people to post their personal travel plans/wishes/wants/"needs". Go there.

    Free dining 2014

    I'd hate to be a booking cast-member on these days, with every idiot and their brother calling in repeatedly to see if they can get free dining. I find the repeat phone call claims to be obnoxious and rude. JUST WAIT.

    CoP revoice (not a rumor)

    ^^^^ Carousel of Progress... and imho, it either needs to remain untouched as look back at one of Walt's originals, or entirely removed due to it being passé, boring, slow, and unpopular. I waffle back and forth between those two pretty regularly. But re-voicing it will accomplish nothing...

    Article: Did Pixar's Monsters University deserve its Oscars snub?

    I think the problem is that the pool is too small to draw from. I'd almost like to see the award every 3rd year of something like that. It's like "hey, there were 5 major animated films, so we'll nominate all but one, and then pick which was the best, when in reality the best was a B+". They...
