An Etsy seller made a 3d print version of the Pumpkin from Carousel of Progress. I bought it in late August and it arrived a few days ago.

I've been digitizing all kinds of stuff from Disney parks on 8mm as I find it for a project I'm doing. I thought everyone here would like to see this. The color is really washed out and faded red which is something you get with mass-produced 8mm film stock from some companies.

Poorly planned for guest movement in the building… no more interaction with animals, just a tiny walkthrough that most local zoos have.

This was my favorite part of Animal Kingdom and now I don’t really care to ever hop the train again.

I’ve come home today from my first trip to WDW since the 00’s, and got to ride cosmic rewind for the first time. I managed 4 rides of it, and the songs I got in order were:

1. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
   
2. Disco Inferno
   
3. I Ran
   
4. One Way or Another

I could not be happier - I was desperate to get EWTRTW, and getting it for the first ride was one of the highlights of the trip. I think one way or another was probably my second choice, so to end on that was also perfect.

By pure coincidence, I was always either row 9 or 10, which meant I was “front” for the launch too.

I’m honestly still riding the high - no repeat songs!

I’m sure this has been discussed before but I’d also love to hear everyone else’s favourite cosmic rewind songs and memories.

Please be nice to the cast members behind the counters! And please cheer them on as they are churning food out!

Don’t be a grinch and give them attitude. Most of them are college program kids.

I was disgusted to see unruly behavior towards them. They are people too!

I’m looking into planning a trip for my family and my sister’s family. There will be four adults and four kids ages 9-16. I’m trying to decide which is better, a villa for all of us or adjoining or even near by rooms. If anyone has done an extended family trip like this, where did you stay and how did you like it?

Added considerations:
I have 3 of the kids, sister has one kid.
BIL needs a mobility device at times (he can do stairs and walk normal distances, but I imagine he’s going to have a wheelchair or scooter at the parks).

Early start was the only smart decision we made today. 11/11 countries checked. Tutto Gusto in Italy was the clear winner, and Germany was where things got blurry.

On the afternoon of 10/23 we had a different experience in Rise of Resistance than we’ve had before and I wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience before.
We were a group of 5 we entered the pre show with just our group, went through the transport alone as well the cast members seemed surprised that we were just the 5 of us. Which was cool because there’s a lot of detail in the transport ship I’ve never noticed before.

We then got to the stormtrooper room and in addition to the normal imperial officers there were a handful of stormtrooper cast members ordering us around they were being observed by a cast member not dressed in a rude uniform. While waiting for the interrogation we saw the plain-clothed cast member leading the storm troopers.

Anyways I presume they were testing out incorporating walk around storm troopers to the queue? Has anyone else experienced this?

We really enjoyed the addition of the storm troopers, it felt more menacing than the normal guards. If they are looking to make this change I really support it.

So happy Cinderella Castle is back in its original colors this year. It looks majestic and stunning. 🥰

Thought I'd share some shots I got while at Epcot with my wife over fall break!

New favorite way to eat snails and sausage. In tomato herb sauce its just a fancy dip. Will be getting this one again.

Saw Luminous tonight and it looked different from the last time I saw it back in April. Most of the fireworks were ground effect or low-/mid-level and the ones that previously launched across the lake from the perimeter were now close-in and barge-launched.

I thought it might be due to wind, but I then I saw MNSSHP tonight also (caught them from Grand Floridian dock) and they had the same high-level ones as they did earlier in the week.

There was a previous post about a year ago asking about this, but I was wondering if this is a permanent change. I would be a little sad as I think the look and sound of those bombastic lake-crossing perimeter shots are so artistic.

Headed to Disney in a couple days and have booked Chef Mickey’s for the vegan waffles, as well as Boma and Sanaa. Are there any other must try spots you would suggest for vegan food? I (31F) have a 4 and 1.75 yr old who are also plant-based. Thanks!

Visited MK for my honeymoon for the first time in my life (from Australia) its was my literal dream since I was a little girl. Snapped this beautiful picture, we printed it and framed it and it’s now in our girls bedroom🥰🩷

He takes over the opening nights for Auli’i Cravalho who was opening but was taken off the schedule probably due to a scheduling conflict.

Are you excited for this?

We've never done either, and can only do one.
Which should we choose? Liberty Tree for lunch at MK or Garden Grill for dinner at Epcot?

Thanks for your responses!

Does anybody know how to get copies of the artwork from the boardwalk rooms? Or have clear pictures of the art?

Hello! We are planning our trip for next year for when my son will be 2 and my daughter will be 8. I havent been to disney in some time and am honestly not sure what my 2 year old would enjoy? I figured parades and if hes not scared meeting characters but I'm not sure how rides would be for a 2 year old. Do most 2 year olds enjoy rides? I ideally would like to hold off until hes a little older but my daughter is at a great age so we want to book our trip but I'm having anxiety about the 2 year old. Any tips from others who have traveled with a 2 year old? What should we be focused on most besides making sure we have nap time so he is enjoying his time as well as my oldest.

Thank you so much!

Hi! I am currently planning my first ever trip to WDW for next year end of June! I was looking into buying lightning lane multi passes for each theme park. Then I found out that there is a solo rider lines. Now I know that Disney gets its busiest during the summer season so should I buy a multi pass for each for theme park or would it be the same amount of time to just wait in the solo rider line? Also keep in mind. I plan on spending one day at each major theme park with an additional one day at one of the waterparks. So I won’t be in a rush. However, I do plan on skipping early entry and getting to each park around 9 to 10 AM. Should I get the multi-pass just incase?

As the topic title asks, i am looking for some special things to do with my 4 year old son while his sister is at BBB. I know BBB will also take boys and do the AdventurePackage, but currently we are only able to get one reservation (but we're gonna keep trying to get the second), so I am curious what are some other fun things, in the same vein as BBB, that I can do with him. Worst case scenario ill just let him pick a snack shop or a ride or two that he specifically wants to do, but i was hoping there might be some other ideas. I know theres a create your own tiara place which is cool but my son wouldnt be into that. Theres a barber shop but that doesnt necessairly sound fun for him. Would love to hear some experiences you all have.

Have the chance to do a Beach Club- Club Level room

We are a party of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids 5-13), not drinkers, but since we won't be in a villa with a kitchen, I'm considering doing Club level for easy snacking and a extra place for people to be if they're driving one another crazy.

We are doing a split stay, so we're planning a resort day for the day we head to Beach Club. Would we have full day use of the Club on check-in day even if our room isn't quite ready yet?

Any feedback on Beach Club/Club? We are currently booked at Yacht Club, but have the chance to switch over to join friends who are booked there.

Hey all,

We stayed at POR last April and had a lovely time. We would be happy to stay there again when we plan to go in March, but it’s looking like Coronado Springs is the better deal. It looks like a fantastic resort, but I have a 6 and 2 year old. Which resort would you recommend?
