DIS Dads DDC XXI - Passing Time Until Our Next Trip

[Twin Dad]

You're secretly proud, aren't you?

Shhhh. Don't tell DW.

 

[Chris the CPA]

Cool Yeah did you just answer the roll call for august?

No I have not. I do not know where it is located. Is there bacon involved?

 

[that's nice]

More Cool News....

Free WiFi now in MK!

That's cool.... I wonder if it will be usable with 50,000 people on the internet at the same time.

On another positive note, I will be able to easily participate in the DIS Dad's Fantasy Football draft now directly from Disney World!!

Sweet!

No sadly not. It is in PORs topic now.

Awesome! Now I can use the mobile magic app!

Interesting… Being as Test Track exists at Epcot though; the “Racers” attraction probably would not be included in an east coast version. It seems to me that thay’d do better picking a different Pixar franchise to anchor at DHS. That way, they could devise a completely new experience (which DHS certainly needs)

Agreed. What about a Marvel/Incredibles superhero area?

You're right *cough*Dumbo*cough*. Disney would never *cough*Aladdin's carpets*cough* duplicate rides *cough*Triceratops spin*cough* across their Florida resort *cough*Astro Orbiter*cough*.

Monsters would be a better fit in Orlando then installing a second Sierra Nevada landscape.

I don't know... I think I'd like to see Carsland at Disney World... but I love the Cars franchise. The way I see it, if they can duplicate a tribute to the state of California that they call Soarin, then why not a land in the theme park that is actually relevant because it is based on a film?

As for the part about RSR being too much like Test Track. I think it would still be a completely different experience. Just like Space Mountain is different from Thunder Mountain, etc. And yeah... as Barry pointed out, the precedence has already been set.

That's cool.... I wonder if it will be usable with 50,000 people on the internet at the same time.

Well, if the quality of the free wifi at the resorts is any kind of indication, I would think the limit will likely be about 25 people at once.

And there it is. He's gotten back to running, the confidence is strong. Team Tim is ready to go!

I hear ya’, and back when my young’en was small enough to want to ride that particular set of minor attractions… we certainly didn’t stand in line for more then one of ‘em per trip. I’ll also forgo TSM if it’s too long a wait because in truth, it’s not really that much different from Space Ranger Spin (yah… I know… sacrilege). I can see having the same thing on both coasts… but that’s what they just finished doing. Time for something new.

Of course… it’s all rumor to begin with and the Imagineers won’t be asking me for my opinions of the subject any time soon.

THat's funny right there.

I've thought hard about a career change, but it would be awful hard to make a change and still provide for my family. Plus I have a pension, and that's a benefit that is really, really hard to give up.
?

KY was rated 4th worst in nation from state pension fundability. Turns out our only Republican governor in 100 years, and a minister, did not contribute any funding to retirement fund his four years in office, and used the money to buy a plane to go to Reagan's funeral. Fortunately, I am in with Teachers Retirement. If they dismantled that and all school teachers walked out, who would babysit for all the children? Must have hope.

Rumor....Carsland coming to DHS!

Cool. That's where Soarin came from, and it's one of my favorites.

Don't mind it, a lot better then "Avatar Land" (likely cause still haven't seen it yet, not really rushing to either). I'd still like to see a "Monsters Inc" coaster like the rumours keep saying.

I thought Avatar land was going to AK.

‘
Now, I gott’a defend Norm on that last point. The argument was between the Nation of Canada and the “nation” of Kentucky. There ain’t a sole in his corner of the word that has anything to do with just how stunningly bad the Bobcats are (and they are awful to be sure, but that ain’t Kentucky’s fault)..
.

Thanks for the backup against these rogue Canadians.

At best.....

So I'm sitting at my desk here with chills and a fever. I blame Andy for passing me this virus.

I went home early yesterday but I had a number of meetings (still 1 more to come) that I could not miss today so I'm suffering in misery.

Thanks to the wonders of DayQuill I've survived thus far, just waiting for my mid-day dose to kick in.

This I like, especially since I'll have a smartphone by next years trip.

Agreed. What about a Marvel/Incredibles superhero area?

Now this would make a great rumoured "5th park" they keep rumbling on. You could make it into different "lands: "New York/cityscape" "latveria" etc and really make an immersive experience.

And yeah... as Barry pointed out, the precedence has already been set.

Wait, Barry had a point?

 

[AirGoofy]

Can we add an iPad security check in line? Maybe the lines will be smaller to rides as everyone is playing with their free WiFi.

You're right *cough*Dumbo*cough*. Disney would never *cough*Aladdin's carpets*cough* duplicate rides *cough*Triceratops spin*cough* across their Florida resort *cough*Astro Orbiter*cough*.

Astro Orbitor has an elevator to get there. Completely unique.

I thought Avatar land was going to AK.

Yes, I didn't word it right. Still think it's stretch to put it in AK. Why not just do the Beastly Kingdom portion as originally intended? Guess seeing blue guys running around a park died out with Wonderland in the early 80's with the Smurfs

Don't make me come down there...no really, I don't want to.

Another one sick? Ugh....feel better soon

You know what American's and Canadian's have in common? One nation is bordered on the south by an underdeveloped backwards nation........
