    New Discussions on Old Topics

    Hi Everyone, I've been watching/listening to old DIS Unplugged Episodes: 734 on the Best Themed Lands 718 on the Best Ride Vehicles, Animatronics and Story-Lines I'd love to hear these topics discussed in-depth again especially with the opening of Pandora and Tory Story Land to see where the...

    Who's looking forward to new Toy Story Land?

    I'm actually getting more excited for Toy Story Land the closer we get. Sometimes I just try not to get my hopes up too much but I'm starting to get more intrigued about this opening.

    Friends didn't enjoy their WDW trips

    Some people just don't know how to make the most of a Disney trip. WDW isn't just going to a land, it's going to a World. I'm guessing some first-timers just expect to turn up and everything be served to them on a plate because it is relatively expensive. Well all these other guests have paid...

    Restaurants that surprised you.

    I've always found places that are recommended by people who say "YOU HAVE TO DO..." are a let down. As you say, the restaurants you stumble across and go in on a whim can be the real hidden gems. As I stated in my OP I read bad things about Yak n Yeti and tried it and it was perfect for us then.

    Who's looking forward to new Toy Story Land?

    People keep likening it to Pandora, but there is a huge difference. People weren’t that big on Avatar as a whole so didn't give the land much thought. People in general love Toy Story, but Toy Story wasn't a different land or world like Pandora. Unless they were building a massive bedroom I...

    Who's looking forward to new Toy Story Land?

    I’m from the UK and I haven’t seen anything from the preview material that has made me want to book up specifically for that. It seems geared towards very young kids, I don’t have any so I guess it just isn’t aimed at me. No problem with that, it’s just sad that Universal Studios are starting to...

    Restaurants that surprised you.

    What restaurant surprised you the most based on other people's, or The Dis Unplugged Reviews. For me it was Yak & Yeti (sitting inside), I found it great value for money and a relatively wide range of menu options, especially since my gf is a pescatarian. This however had bad reviews from...

    Boathouse

    Went a couple of years ago now, for me it was one of my favourite restaurants on property. I think I got the lobster stuffed with crab and it was brilliant. Some days I love sea-food, some days I just can't stomach it. I feel I could eat there any day though as it seemed all very fresh yet not...

    What smells remind you of WDW

    Smells are so important to memories. UK here too and had a chance to put on sunscreen recently and it always reminds me of vacations. Salted popcorn works for me, the only time I ever used to eat salted was at WDW. I've seen a lot of those candles that are meant to have smells resembling the...

    Charles

    I feel bad because he was so intense at the start that I just didn't "get him". He's now one of a my faves, I completely get his humour, especially when it is with the long descriptive metaphors in a negative review. The irony for me is he has a very similar personality to my own at times, and I...

    Where is the best place to start Poll threads?

    I started doing poll threads every week or two a month ago. They gathered quite a lot of responses, relatively. However one thread got moved and I was wondering where I should be posting them? They are generally on attractions, but some I want to start on restaurants in the future. I love...

    Best and Worst Top 6 Best Queues

    The whole debate on when the attraction starts and when the queue ends is confusing. Look at Test Track, after you’ve designed your car you then have to queue again. Does the attraction start when you are designing your car or after? If so is it not one of the best queues? It’s very interactive...

    Best and Worst Top 6 Best Queues

    Everest is one of the best attractions queues in any theme park. The there is so much to the theme of the attraction. I recommend people watch this: if you want to know how much attention to detail went into the attraction telling a complete story. (Also you see Craig in it at times like...

    The "Rides Others Love but I just don't 'get'" Poll

    Oh I wasn’t disagreeing with you. I was just adding to why others may not like it too. I get your point on ride capacity though. Makes sense.

    The "Rides Others Love but I just don't 'get'" Poll

    Yeah, I didn’t “get” Jungle Cruise at first. Now I’ve come to enjoy the cheesiness of it. Peter Pan for me was just a bit of a let down. Even though we had fast passes. It really did just look like I was slowly going past models in a model shop. I was really surprised how many people loved it...

    So far Peter Pan is in the lead. With Jungle Cruise creeping up behind.
