In Disney World, the drunk pirates firing guns at the very very end of the ride - after the jail scene - are gone. They’re the ones firing guns at the live gunpowder. They’re replaced by Johnny Depp singing to himself, surrounded by treasure.

There was a brief moment in the late 90's when they had onboard stereo at Disneyland’s Space Mountain. That was awesome. Read more

Base sentimentality is keeping the Jungle Cruise alive, I’m convinced of it. Because it was Walt’s favorite, and for no other reason. But someone high up in the office must REALLY love the Jungle Cruise. Read more

The Disney stories about things that never were are sometimes even more interesting than the stories about stuff that came to pass. Read more

They have a ticket purchasing system that rewards multiple-day stays. If you go for 1-2 days, you’re getting robbed blind. But if you go for four or five days, then on average, each day is less expensive. So I totally know what I you mean. Read more

Harrison Hightower III owned the Hightower Hotel (Tower of Terror) in Tokyo. And Harrison was a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, of which Henry Mystic… Read more

They didn’t even bother to make Ezra, Gus, and Phineas look like their Animatronic counter parts. And it goes by much too quickly to appreciate what they were going for. Better to do one simple thing really, really well. Big ghost sitting in my lap? I can wrap my head around that. Read more

Agreed, Big Thunder after sunset is the best way to ride it. The lamp-lit ambience is just so well done. Read more

That’s disappointing. Sometimes, I wonder if they dim the lights to overcompensate. Read more

Sasha needs to bring the Escalade for all her big matches. Read more
