Ratatouille Ride Quick Impressions

Hey everyone! I was lucky enough to catch Cory's morning stream of the D23 preview of the new Ratatouille ride in Epcot. They say first impressions are everything, so here are mine (I'll try not to give too many spoilers): >>The courtyard is very well done with tons of little things to look at. The ...

Re: Mears connect coming Jan 2022 to fill in

Great news! I just knew Mears wouldn't let that source of revenue die. They just need to keep it at a price that nearly everyone can afford. As for the luggage, I've schlepped my bags through airports all over the world, so it's not a big deal for me. I worried more about my bags when they WEREN'T w...

Re: Club Cool lives!

So glad Club Cool is returning! It's a nice 20 min. break to go there & sample some international beverages. My only complaint/observation is the floor. Stickiest surface in all of WDW. They need to use that on the NASCAR tracks! They'll never slide & crash! :lol:

Re: love the mask rule change whats next?

My guess would be that they're working hard for an Independence Day return for the fireworks. That would give them enough time now to get everything working right, and do some real-life testing beforehand, and make a big splash (no pun intended) on the 4th. It also would allow almost 3 months for &q...

A cruise on the Liberty Belle is always a nice way to relax at MK. Taking a break at Aunt Polly's on TSI in one of those comfy chairs is good too! Just don't fall asleep in one like I did! :lol:

Re: People mover

While I want to believe that they're still working all the bugs out, the cynical part of me says that the April 4th reopening can't quite be made because of some minor thing, maybe a week late or so, and Disney pushed the reopening back to May just to be safe. Now, when they open it before the revis...

Phrases That Only Make Sense at Disney

After watching many streams over the last year, one thing popped into my head - how phrases & sayings we take for granted when we hear them at WDW would sound in the "real world". For example, someone in the chat last night asked "How many ears do you have Jenna?", and of cou...

Re: Pecos Bills

The previous posters were pretty much correct. Pecos Bill's is just fine, but it's not really "mexican food'. More like mexican inspired. Save the craving for Epcot, where the Mexico pavillion offers far better mexican food than any place at MK. Some of the non-park restaurants have some really...

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.

OK, Josh needs to have a squirt gun loaded & ready for the first TTA ride with the gang after it reopens. Don't tell anyone, and then whip it out & squirt everyone (lightly, of course) and tell them you're trying to "recreate" that epic TTA moment! :o :P :lol: Own that monsoon, Josh!
