    No More Dishes at Florean Fortescue

    If you're interested in just butterbeer ice cream, I found out today that you can get a cup at the outdoor butterbeer stand (to the right when entering DA). It was just a plain white cup. AP discount works as well!

    2014 Holidays at Universal

    I still believe that Sea World has the most complete Christmas event out of all the parks. With the combination of lights, shows and ambiance, I was really impressed with the event. Never really cared for Uni's Christmas events. Kinda bland, and there's just not a whole to do.

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

    My only gripe regarding this silly outdoor queue is that only half of it is covered. I do believe, however, they could have done more (like theme the fans) but it's really not the end of the world.

    CityWalk Expansion

    I could be completely wrong and they may just paint them. It's hard to tell in the concept art.

    I believe where that front paneling is located will be screens.

    Frozen Ever After

    You can't exactly compare the budget of a Disney attraction to the budget of a Universal attraction though. Universal's money tends to go quite a bit further than Disney's. Also, the fact that the Frozen M&G is supposedly up to a 300min wait, does prove that regardless of what Disney builds...

    The Tonight Show coming to Universal Orlando

    I agree. I spent all day at work refreshing that damn page and then they decide to alter the way they offer tickets? Bull****. Also, the Facebook app offered a way to bypass the virtual queue which is also crap. I'm so frustrated! :lol:

    Is Rockit a Success or Failure?

    So pretty much what you're saying is that Universal should simply cater to your tastes and what you enjoy. That's incredibly closed-minded. Just because you think what people listen today is crap (I don't necessarily disagree) doesn't mean they shouldn't update the attraction.

    Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

    Trainers. There have been ops cast members cycling the ride for a while now. Like you said though, training for regular cast members is happening soon.

    Cabana Bay Beach Resort

    I think the point was more that value hotels tend to have a different clientele than say, a 5 star hotel. Of course, there are exceptions, but there's no arguing that fact. Regardless, there are definitely some good points that are made in the reviews. It will take some time to work out the...

    Annual Pass Question

    Your AP will be scanned when you enter each Express queue. If it has already been scanned that day, it will come up with an error message not allowing entry.

    Annual Pass Question

    Yes, they're once per day after 4pm.

    Cabana Bay Beach Resort

    There's a big difference between the words "cheap" and "affordable". Cheap has a much more negative connotation than the word affordable. Regardless, the entire point of this hotel being constructed was so that families could more easily stay on property without paying an arm and a leg. I...

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    You have to flip over your ticket for it to be scanned (so the barcode is facing downwards towards the ground). There's no mechanism that takes the ticket.

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    Sorry, this is a pretty awful picture, but the finger scanner is boxed and the ticket scanner is circled. Nothing has really changed other than how the system looks.

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    Not sure if it has been talked about already, but it looks like Uni might be trying some new turnstiles at the front of the park. This was at IOA on the very far right. Much sleeker looking system them the one they have currently.

    Disney's NextGen Initiative

    I think it's more the fact that it's something new and most guests are unaware that the system has changed. Some of the people I talked to assumed that fast pass had just been eliminated altogether. I'll like the system better if you can get more than 3 fast passes a day.

    Disney's NextGen Initiative

    I was at Magic Kingdom yesterday for the majority of the day and I heard a lot of unhappy guests with the new fast pass system. Probably every single attraction I walked by, I heard guests complaining about something. I went into to get a Lefou's Brew and one lady couldn't get her magic band...

    Fantasyland Expansion - Part 2

    My favorite part of Disney currently, are the fireworks. I own an annual pass and pretty much the only time I visit the park is so I can see either Illuminations or Wishes. Both are incredible shows. I have no desire to argue the fact that both shows should be updated, but I still enjoy...

    CityWalk Expansion

    I still feel that if there's going to be any real growth at CityWalk, they need more experiential restaurants and not run of the mill, mediocrity. I think Antojitos is a step in the right direction, but the exterior leaves a lot to be desired.
