Re: Carousel of Progress video but... something is not quite right

Did they just replay the entire 40s segment or try to stop it and then speed forward? I usually do Carousel when I'm heat exhausted so I'd just be like "did they just do this? no? maybe I am thirsty? did I hallucinate that I saw this already?"

It's called Friday Steaks (FS) where I am. This started during the pandemic and it's just a little thing to make it more of an event.

More from Ft. Wilderness, this time from 1985! The year I was born and probably from my second trip, lol. Camp site registration (look at that rate!), and welcome letter from the manager. I love it! We used to stay at Fort Wilderness around the late 80s also. I found a hand-stamped multi-day park p...

Personal favorite is Space Mountain's ambient music which makes the very long lines a little less bad.

Re: Attractions that scared you as a kid but you love now?

As a kid I was terrified of the “Haunted Mansion” and the alien scene from “The Great Movie Ride”, but now I miss “The Great Movie Ride” and it’s fun cast member driven story, and the “Haunted Mansion” has become my all time favorite ride. This is what I was going to write - the alien that hangs do...

Re: Most Polarizing Food at WDW

Love it, Hate it. What are some of the most polarizing foods at WDW? My #1 pick would have to be the turkey leg. A meatsicle! Lots of people love 'em. Smells wonderful, looks pretty tasty, and the first bite or two is really good, but after that, at least for me, is pretty much nothing but grease &...

Re: Never Again

I went on Tower of Terror at the encouragement of a guidebook that suggested everyone should try it.

I respected the achievement of the attracti...

I'm not quite sure if this type of post has been made before, but I thought I'd give it a go! When you first arrive at WDW, what park do you go to, what do you do first? When we go to WDW, we always go to Epcot first, and eat at either Japan or the Land. :D Lots of fun memories! Traditionally, the ...

For us, it's usually dinner on the last night. We're usually great planners, but somehow never think about where to get dinner on the last night until the last minute.

Journey Into Imagination With Figment (honestly, I think it's just Figment's voice that bothers me).

Re: Journey to the Center of the Earth at Tokyo DisneySea

The fifth dimension is pretty cool, but it's a technological headache and that's why it isn't replicated at the other parks.

I think the PeopleMover uses some kind of ancient technology originally premiered at the World's Fair - is that the problem?
