    Goodbye IU Forum.

    I will gradually have less and less time to devote to this theme park hobby of ours. Due to medical issues it’s looking like I have a few months left. This forum has been such a great outlet for like minded to people to discuss in detail everything about the parks. While this may seem very...

    Green Eggs & Ham Menu Update

    I think one thing this has going in favor of it being a more “permanent” thing is they actually repainted “tots” onto the building itself. They didn’t just slap a new menu up.

    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    Yes. There was actually a news interview where they were talking about how long an evacuation would take of the skyliner. They were basically making the point that for each car they would have to move all the equipment and set up again. As I recall hearing they evacuated 6 cars the other night...

    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    Probably strapped to a board or being carried by a firefighter. Funny side story, I participated in a monorail evacuation once and they asked for a volunteer to be in a wheelchair. One guy raised his hand eagerly and volunteered then had lots of fun rolling around in it. It wasn’t till he was...

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    This shouldn’t really have any effect at all on the amount of strollers and scooters. When they introduced the preferred vendor program, those companies that opted out had no real issues at all getting the strollers and scooters to their customers. In fact it actually made for better customer...

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    This doesn’t make it more inconvenient from the guest perspective. They still simply show up at their hotel and their stroller is there waiting for them. Also that article mentioned one of the companies opened a location at the airport, that seems to make it even easier and you can use it in the...

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    They don’t have any other than daily rentals so nothing really comparable. The Disney strollers can’t be used outside of the parks. Not to mention they’re priced to the point where it’s cheaper to buy a stroller and just throw it away when you leave. This actually happens very often, in fact...

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    So if this applies to the preferred vendors wouldn’t this be the opposite of a cash grab. They’re eliminating a program where they charged vendors for the privilege of being able to drop of strollers and wheelchairs and now instead will not charge and just require the vendors to meet their guests.

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    See that’s the part I have a hard time believing. Disney was charging them money, hard to imagine Disney just deciding to give up money and just let them come in and do it for free. Could be though, would be interesting to get some confirmation on that.

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    If they’re not part of the preferred program they are required to wait out front and hand it off to the guest. That’s why I don’t see what’s different about this. Honestly I think it was better before Disney started that program, because they would all just hand them off to bell services and be...

    WDW Parks Banning Smoking, Stroller Wagons, Loose Ice Beginning May 1st

    I’m not understanding what’s really different about this. Several years ago when they started the preferred vendor program for strollers and wheelchairs they stopped letting the other companies who opted out of the program drop off and required them to meet the guests. So did they get rid of the...

    The State & Future of the Monorails (WDW)

    There’s a difference between investing in a star attraction that will theoretically have a quick return versus investing in infrastructure that shows long term planning.

    Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

    Yep! That was the time I grew up as well, we also had Police Academy and Toxic Avenger cartoons and toys. There seemed to be no issue at all adopting adult stuff for kids, it was great! Of course by the time they got around to making GB 2 they focused more on the kid audience.

    Horror Nights 29 Merchandise

    My guess is they have to pay a portion of the revenue for each item that has GB licensing on it to Sony and they chose a few strategic items that are big sellers and didn’t include it on those.

    Antojitos Coming to CityWalk (USH)

    I'm surprised they would try this in Hollywood. This is barely passable as Mexican food in Orlando, but in CA with so much great Mexican food this is going to be at the bottom of the list very quickly if it's similar to the Orlando version.

    E.T. Adventure General Discussion

    I would go with Jaws. It could be a log flume or river raft type ride and the story could be that the shark somehow got into the ride system. Would be a good way to bring back a classic that’s obviously missed.

    E.T. Adventure General Discussion

    I really wouldn't read too much into that. It's just the Universal social media team trying to get in on the daily/weekly trend on Twitter. It is interesting that they felt that classic attractions would get a better response than current ones.
