Favorite Disney Park and why?
Nrthwnd replied to Hattuchili's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^ We haven't been to Animal Kingdom, yet. But of the three we did get to, through the years, EPCOT has still been my fave WDW Park. I have always enjoyed going to Worlds Fairs around the world (got to several of them in earlier years), and EPCOT still has that "look" of such an event, no matter how many changes and additions/subtractions the two main areas go through. Looking forward to all the new stuff there, when we plan (hopefully) to hit their annual Food & Wine Fest in Nov.2024! NOT a Fave Disney Ride of Mine: Indiana Jones, BACKWARDS! 2004 DLP Yep, that's me begging it to stop. -

Favorite Disney Park and why?

^ I would love this poll to be re-opened, and see how it all goes, nowadays? What with DisneySea REALLY being noticed and loved A LOT now. And Shanghai added in, as well. My amazing meal in HKDL, before leaving for home. Sept.30-2012. -

I figured, I might as well post this here, as well as in the Random Thread. I sort of, just realized, that the rest of my/our traveling years are (probably) going to be spent, just going to Disney Parks and Resorts... 2022 - Disney Paris* ~ David's and My 50th Anniversary Year Visit! ~ Our very 1st visit was in 2002. 2023 - Nuthin' at this time. (Maybe pay the credit cards off?) 2024 - WDW - EPCOT and Animal Kingdom ONLY. 2025 - Disney Tokyo (We'd love to add Hong Kong and Shanghai, to this trip. But...$$$???) 2026 - Back to Paris*? One more time? Not that there's anything wrong with this realization. And I'll be 69 and David will be 75, when 2022 rolls around. Things that make you go..... "What's your Fave!" *And Amsterdam, too. P.S. In 2023, we could actually return to Disneyland and DCA and check out RoTR and M&MsRR, Avengers Campus by then. Money, money, money.... Tokyo Disneyland ~ 2013 ~ See you in 2025, Mickey! -

Theme parks and coasters in the snow
Nrthwnd replied to thrillrider's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I loved it, as some from California and/or Florida (and thereabouts) freeked seeing I (and a few other Northeners) wearing shorts on the Scandi Tours. When the temps were going as low as 50 -60 degrees. Memories. From the net. -

I find it interesting and fascinating that this park is using the box-like show buildings to contain totally different attractions with facades to match. And side by side without looking tired or bland. Awesome! It actually reminds me of how our World's Fair in 1986 was done, with similar box-like structures for all countries participating, (this was a World's Fair that didn't require all countries and businesses to create their own pavilions from scratch) and it really made for some interesting facades etc. And it all worked together, too! Highlight of EXPO 86's Japan Pavilion: A MAGLEV train ride!

Great ongoing tour of everything you saw, and bought, Bert! Tokyo and Japan has so much, too much at times, things to see and experience. But I think you've now proven to Elissa, that a "certain Panda" is not all cuddly and cute.... Evil, evil, evil! "Yes, I am looking at you, Elissa." TPR 2012 China Tour.

I think it'd be awesome, if they did a complete renovation of everything surrounding all the attractions. And updating all the buildings etc. Landscaping, lighting and water features, too. An Entire Park Renovation. Now that, to me, would be a great thing to do for their Big 50th Anny in 2021! But to everybody else, it's most likely a Big Ride/Coaster/Food they're wanting.

So here's the deal with this week's The Masked Singer... and BTW.... yes we do enjoy it, and yes it's over the top, and yes it actually has some fun moments in it, especially when they unmask a singer who nobody guessed (i.e. Drew Carey, Kelly Osborne), including us. That said WTF is going on with this White Tiger person? Yes he's probably a sports player, probably football from how they've tried to figure him out. And - HE DOES NOT SING. At all. This past episode proved it. But he's winning by being "entertainig." SPOILER ALERT Again WTF??? It's the Masked 'Singer,' not 'Entertainer.' He should be able to sing... some how. Yes? No? Three capable singers got ousted this season so far, including this week's Chaka Khan (!), because of his "aw gee me, let's all clap along" antics. And it's time for the audience to get smarter and VOTE - HIM - OUT, VOTE - HIM - OUT, VOTE - HIM - OUT, as "entertainingly fun" as he is. What Ever.

^ & ^^^ Great photos, all of these! -
^ Very nice. I would love to have a pinball place to hang out and play games, etc. At my age, hah! They closed one of the two arcades, where you won tickets and then collected for shelf prizes. But no pinball machines were to be found. I think it would be a perfect themed retro nod to the pinball age, in this new retrofit of Playland(PNE) in the coming years, to do something with that building, now. With pinball games. Better than that, a parlor/space like you suggested, not on the PNE grounds. The Fun Centre was fun no more, last year. But they still put out capsule machines!

Shanghai Disney Resort Discussion Thread

^ How eerie to see that. I also noticed, up in the top right corner there, where the land is still clear for the ZOOTOPIA attraction/land to go. Between Pooh and The Dwarfs Mine Train. -
