    Splash Mountain to become Princess and the Frog ride

    For those deriding that it is only a ride, to many it's more than that, people form connections to memories and the joy something has brought to them. Disney more than any other park attracts people on nostalgia, certainly for Magic Kingdom. This doesn't mean rides shouldn't be changed or...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    This wont be of concern to most on here, but I will also be surprised if the yearly Epcot pin event goes ahead in August, but for us serious pin collectors this is sad. The event packs 2000 people into crammed queues in the event hall by the UK pavillion. So I see little chance of that...

    Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

    Any rumours yet on what will happen with the Halloween parties at both MK and Universal? Universal especially I can see as being a problem with the huge house queues and the conga lines through the houses. And scare actors have to get right up in peoples faces.

    News Round Up 2019

    Unless there is a last minute save, it looks like Thomas Cook who do multiple flights a day from the UK to MCO among other destinations will go under at midnight tonight (GMT). This will likely mean less tourism from the UK over the coming months as thousands of holidays will be cancelled...

    News Round Up 2019

    I agree that the offering from Disney+ seems very light. For reference, in the UK I subscribe to Disney Life and that has over 450 Disney movies on it, and over 120 Disney TV shows. And on top of that it has a load of shorts on it. Although I will be interested to see what happens with Disney...

    Rumor? Seas and The Land closing?

    I could get behind the Seas going if at the same time Animal Kingdom created a new land for sea life and relocated the animals there. A Seas addition to Animal Kingdom could be really good and more in theming than at modern Epcot. The Land however I would not be in support of, although a...

    Now they need to do this at DLP, or at least enforce the existing in-park ban. Last time I was there I saw a group of about 4 in Discovery Land all smoking with a cast member close by who said nothing.

    News Round Up 2019

    I'd recommend at least 2 days, 1 and a half days for DLP and half a day at Studios. We're going for 4 nights in 2 weeks time but thats because we got a night free with an offer.

    Disney Banning APs of "personal shoppers" / merch resellers

    I support this if it means people who want the actual item stand a better chance of getting it at cost price, but I think they are sending mixed signals when for the Funko releases they had bags of 10 Pops pre packaged up ready to hand out, they know why people would want 10. And as has been...

    I hate to be cynical but I wonder how many of those are flippers who will go straight home and put them up on EBay.

    News Round Up 2018

    Initially I found it odd that they would be singing a song from a non-Disney movie, but I've just realised it's a 20th Century Fox movie, so I'm wondering if this is why, is this one of the first instances of Disney using something from 20th Century Fox? Or do Voices of Liberty often sing non-...

    They are also changing the breakfast from Pinocchios to Cosmic Rays. Is Cosmic Rays larger by any chance? We have done this twice now the first was 2 years ago and the second was last month and it already felt busier than it did that first time. Considering most people want to do this for...

    And it sounds like Peter Pan has been removed, which sucks since the new additions ( Liitle Mermaid, Teacups, IASW) usually have very short queues anyway.

    It was also made by Don Bluth who used to work for Disney. Probably my favourite non-Disney animator.

    2017 TEA Theme Park Attendance report

    Pleased to see DLP got a large bump, it's deserved as they have done a great job bringing it back to a great level again. I went about 5 years ago and it was in a sorry state, but we went again last year and it was all like new again. So this hopefully shows the execs that if you look after the...
