Texas is the only logical answer. Weather is a big factor into where Disney Builds...so is available space. Texas has a lot of unused land, and its winter's are less harsh than areas such as NY and PA. It also splits the difference between CA and FL. I would love to see an entire theme park built on...

I think they are refurbing the ride to include a wheelchair vehicle similar to the one on the Nemo ride....which means they would need to redo the queue to allow wheel chairs into the front entrance, and a new counter rather than the old turnstile.

Go to the character spot in Epcot....that would be a good test. The characters there are in a very big, open environment, and you get to meet like 5 in a row. Usually Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pluto, and one other.

Its only been there 7 out of the 25 years....less than half. You should be excited to see SSE the way everyone saw it when it was opened. If they move leave a legacy....it would bring a tear to my eye how beautiful the entrance would be.

I don't know if Disney still does this... but years ago when Mum and I went down to WDW (this was 1994 or so), there was no way to know what was going to be down for refurb. We went there and not only was part of the Mickey Mania parade down (which was why I wanted to go that trip, to see it) but s...

At Soarin' a woman was wearing a non-seethrough poncho. Literally seconds before launch, the cast members heard a baby crying and searched for the sound. The woman had been hiding her infant under her poncho the whole time. as for..."why didn't they just take the kid on the ride?" the most...

It really has become more about money than anything else. Walt originally said something to the effect of It's not about the money, its about making a place where families can go and have fun together. The most apparent example is custodial and maintenance. The parks have never looked dirtier or bro...

Yes, Roseanne did one, and Boy Meets World did one where they took a tour to the top floor of the Living Seas where the Dolphins are. Topanga is on a trip she won at school, and Cory somehow gets past cast members and key card locked doors to the top floor looking for her and ends up talking to a Do...

Soarin' will be getting better, while the wait time will not get shorter, there is now an interactive group activity in the queue that is pretty fun and makes time go by much faster.

I believe the Gravestones are set to be moved. The question is just "where?' The contract says they have to be on display in a public area, so I guess Downtown Disney is the best solution.

ok, so I just got back from MK watching the July 3rd version of the July 4th fireworks. Yes the park was busy, but no where near as busy as last year. I expected long lines but never saw many rides more than 30 minutes, and only about 60 for space mountain.
