Interesting article. Not the first time this has happened, seems to be a cyclical thing. Buried in the article but it also shows how even a little DAS abuse can throw off park ops--something perhaps HHN should note. I will say this: as someone who follows Orlando theme parks pretty closely and...

Data is beautiful... https://talk.thrill-data.com/blogs/entry/26-a-look-back-at-past-halloween-horror-nights-events/ A few random observations: While it used to be the case, this is a nail in the coffin of the "Halloween night is slow" argument. In 2022 (it's the only Monday) busier than the...

Saw it in IMAX. At this point, you know what you're getting, but I thought it delivered that well. While still ridiculous, nothing as over the top as the last two movies (thinking the cars all being controlled or going into space). A slightly more grounded unrealism. No real spoilers but ...

Surprised this annual thread hadn't been posted yet, but maybe everyone else found the movies sort of lacking this year as well. On the flip side, TV was amazing. In any case, tradition aside, I like these, gives you an idea of everyone's baseline when they comment in other threads. TV 10)...

{Full disclosure, I was hosted last night, and the owner is at the very least a friendly acquaintance, tho anyone who has read my posts knows I'm not great at holding back my opinions.) After being created out of necessity in pandemic-stricken 2020, Scream-n-Stream is back with a new theme and...

Checked out the first three episodes, available as sort of a hybrid binge/weekly model. Going in I knew next to nothing--despite being the right generation, never got into the books, had only a cursory idea as to what they are about. So can't say how accurate this is, but it doesn't feel like...

[Full Disclosure: I was “hosted” at a media event, did not pay the standard $47 online rate to do this—tho I plan to in October, I enjoyed it enough to return] If you read my review last year, you know I was pretty high on Scream & Stream, one of two drive-thru haunts that debuted in...

Figured if HHN has one, might as well carry on the tradition. My picks: 1) Beneath the Ice—polar bear themed haunted house? Nuff said. (Hoping they exploit the cold inside Wild Arctic.) 2) Capt’s Revenge—pirates may be a Halloween cliché, but still fun when done right. I imagine cast will make...

It says more about 2021, but best movie I've seen all year. Two acts of fun PG John Wick Lite action sequences, then the third act takes a hard left turn into the weird fantastic sci-fi the cartoon specialized in. If you weren't into the 80s series, trust me, skip this, you'll hate it. But if...

Festival kicked off today. Hour plus waits to get the Orange Bird sippee cup. In fairness, one of the cutest pieces of merch Disney has released in a while. Otherwise what I saw seemed mostly the same. Pineapple Promenade and Honey Bee-stro carbon copies of last year (granted, glad to see the...

Despite usually making MNSSHP every year, haven't been to MVMCP in at least 5 years--wasn't a fan the one time I went. But new g/f a Christmas fan, had to pay her back for braving HHN, so had a CM friend get tickets (still $75!) and went last night. OK, I'm shook. I'm a Halloween partisan but...

Stopped by a fairly new bar in downtown Sanford last night (east of Orlando, 25 minutes from UOR if traffic not bad), Bitters & Brass. It's nice, all craft cocktails, including absinthe. Worth a visit if you're in town. But talking to the bartender ... The owners are opening a tiki bar a couple...

File this under current plans that may change ... Already this year, Blizzard and Typhoon have added small, seasonally opened bars. Blizzard by the chair lift, Typhoon in the old Shark Encounter (which is actually my new favorite of the two in the park). Rumor is a big focus of this Winter's...

Probably the least sexy review I ever post, but arguably the most relevant. Stopped by the newly renovated Speedway this evening after a night at the monorail resorts. Outside, little new. Hess truck murals painted over, but same look, same number of pumps. They did add four outdoor metal...

Hope you'll indulge me, all the eye-rolling in the Kid Zone thread got me wondering--why isn't Fievel better known? The first movie was a huge success--at the time, highest grossing non-Disney cartoon ever and beat out Great Mouse Detective that same year. Spawned one theater sequel and...

Some friends and I went to the New Year’s Eve gala opening of The Edison in Disney Springs, housed in what was once the Adventurers Club. It was a $150 ticket but came with an open bar and tons of food samples from what will be the menu. Tl; dr: A unique, fun space while it lasts, but...

Not a lot of detail, but actor friend heard the show is closing permanently at the end of the year. A shame, really fit the DAK theme (with actual living animals!) and employed a lot of talented comedic actors.

So the Spirit has gone from hinting to flat out stating a Haunted Mansion take on Skipper Cantina is coming to MK. No real info on timing (tho apparently faster than that Star Wars hotel) or exact location. Everything that follows speculation ... Can't say I hate the idea. Almost seems a...
