That dude is stupidly popular that it's scary. He lives the dream though, gets to visit the parks and make videos. Wish I could do that!

I'm shocked he still keeps his day job. I know enough about YT to know that he's making decent money. Maybe he's been eschewing sponsors. Or maybe he works at Disney/Universal and so there are perks to staying employed. Question: My boyfriend *loved* Living with the Land. Next time I'm planning to do the Behind the Seeds tour with him. Is there another tour that gets into similar things? Like about future technology and improving the world? Don't have to limit to plant based tours.

The festivals at Epcot have those type of tours otherwise they're mostly at animal kingdom like caring for giants or backstage tales. The Epcot tours are more backstage

I just booked the Ultimate Day of Thrills tour and was wondering if any one has done it recently? According to the Internet they recently changed lunch from a sit-down at Brown Derby to Sunshine Seasons, but wanted to see if you guys had any tips. Also, I am beginning to worry I'll be waiting in 2+ hour lines for Pandora stuff end of September.

RE: Volcano Bay and people "of size". Another agent in my agency went to VB last week and said a lot of the slides had a top weight capacity of 200 lbs and that they weigh you once you get to the front of the line for each ride. There is no signage at the entrance of the line telling you what the weight limit is, so you'll have to do the walk of shame back through the line if you're over the limit. This is making me rethink wanting to go there.

Siemens just ended their decade long sponsorship with Disney. Weird. To me this says we're 100% getting a new fireworks show at Epcot amongst all the other changes.

This is making me rethink wanting to go there. According to this person it's a temporary issue until new supports are added wdwmagic posted:The 2 serpentine drop slides are the tallest that ProSlide has ever built, and to conform to the layout around the volcano, the ride path, in places, is quite far from the center support structure. They have found that with riders upwards towards 300 lbs. the lateral g's are flexing the supports more than ProSlide is comfortable with. They have reduced the weight limit on these 2 slides to 200 lbs. until they can get beefier supports in the couple of places that are an issue. This is seriously effecting capacity at the drop slides, because everyone over 200 lbs. is queuing for the red straight drop slide causing huge wait times, or just heading to other attractions over loading them. This will be fixed, but it is going to take a little while. Until it's fixed, those under 200 lbs. will find almost no wait on the 2 serpentine slides. So there is that plus.

Huh. Most people online seem to dislike the current narration (although I think that's more an overall preference for the Jeremy Irons version than hate of her). That all said losing sponsorships doesn't mean things will change right away. AT&T dropped their sponsorship in 2003 and Siemens didn't start until 2005. Then it wasn't until 2008 that the update finally happened.

Also vaguely glanced over in this new blog post but in 2018, the auction scene is getting a complete makeover at Pirates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjchFJQeLkw quote:You’ll even discover that a familiar character is playing a new role joining the pirates ranks and helping the local townspeople “unload” their valuables at the Mercado auction. In the U.S., this famous redhead will appear in a similar scene at the Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland park in 2018 following a previously scheduled refurbishment.

The question nobody wants to ask is do we really need to see people over 200lbs sloshing their exposed rolls as they fly down a slide? The answer is gently caress no.

Yeah if you're a tall dude you can be over 200 easy. They also weigh the raft slides right? So you might have to split your party if it's over the weight limit for the raft.

One thing Spaceship Earth needs is the first scene being a little brighter, or having a better projection. It's barely visible and it's a really cool scene IMO.

This will not be a classic ride for me anymore. They are getting rid of THE most important scene. I don't get it. Epic fail Disney. quote:I've already sent letters to 5 different Disney-related emails. There is a 1% or less chance of reversal but it's that one percent that we have to aim for if we care about the parks and this attraction. quote:Not surprised by Disney and their folding to the PC culture that has poisoned this country. They more and more bend to the professionally offended that take advantage of all this. They are same people cheating the system set up for the handicap, bringing non service dogs on planes for attention and just generally using the scared to offend culture to their advantage. They see something they can get changed through fake outrage and feed off he power that gets them. They have that "I want to talk to a manager" hair and enjoy seeing everyone wait on them to complain enough that they get a discount, freebie or coupon. quote:where will the pirates find women to raise loving families with now? Not to mention to do the cooking and cleaning?? quote:I hope that Paris Disney can get those super feminist and totally not oppressive black, polyester burkas on all the female characters too. A counter point appears: quote:There really is nothing more funny or classic than rape. Boy, does rape give me the giggles. Rape? No its not rape. quote:Yeah, 'cuse that's what's happening. Oh, those whacky imagineers... quote:So crying means they're being raped? Puppets acting out the violence of rape in front of children, that's what your seeing? It's Ok... they want it... quote:...it's a business transaction, which is why the Redhead is primping for the occasion Pirates of the Caribbean is literal history! quote:So on that note, we should take out the firing of cannons, the burning of the town, the guns, the swords, the drinking, basically just PC the entire ride then ... I understand the poor representation but this was how it was then. Not saying this towards you, but why can't people understand that? People are so quick these days to want to erase history they don't agree with or think it presents a bad image. I'm open to seeing how they handle the change, I'm not totally writing it off, I hope they keep the classic lines, but this sets a bad precedent.

Moving to Florida after retiring early and my wife and I are going to get annual passes. I see the different versions and I am not sure if I should get the platinum plus passes or not. I see you get access to a golf course and the ESPN complex but it looked like only special events. I golf and have friends who will be golfing with me but how many days does that include or is admission when ever I want? The wording is a little weird on the website do I get free unlimited golf with it or only on select days? We already got our Universal annual passes and I am excited to check out Halloween horror nights this year even though you only get one free night for that still the wife is a huge Harry Potter fan so that was worth it alone.

It's admission whenever you want but you have to pay green fees and bring your own gear and it's only Oak Trail. That said it's worth it. Pro tip: go online and open a capital one online bank account with your Florida address, deposit something like $50, then use that to get the Florida resident discount on the pass. It'll save you like $300.
