Fantasmic! only 2 times a week

darthstich — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:21:50 GMT

In another sign of the shaky economy, Disney will reduce performances of its "Fantasmic!" spectacular at Disney's Hollywood Studios to just two nights a week, beginning in January. Performers were notified late Friday of the cutbacks.

No extra nighttime entertainment is planned to replace it. The finale of the daily "American Idol" competition will take place toward the end of the park day, but I don't see that as a rival for "Fantasmic!" and the AI theater ...

Awards / Left Hand Column

TinkRocks — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:37:03 GMT

DarthStich -

Is there any way to have the left hand column collapsible / expandable?

The reason for the question is that with the amount of information in the left hand column, it makes post sections rather large - so unless someone writes a novel in their posts, the posts look empty compared to the left column.

Just sharing my thoughts...

Well i decided i would ask you guys some of the classic Star Wars Controversy questions here to get everyones opinions, so I'm Stating off with the one that started it all. At the end of Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope a big awards ceremony took place after the Destruction of the Death Star and Princess Leia gives a Medal to both Han and Luke but for some reason not to Chewbaca. Now this has been parodied by just about anyone who catches it and tried to be explained. In the non-canion Star ...

The live 'Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends' show at Disney's Animal Kingdom will close Sept. 27 after running for 10 years.

Walt Disney World officials say no immediate replacement is planned for the amphitheater. The Pocahontas character will remain in the park, and the show's 28-member cast and crew will be reassigned.

(Also note that this is the same day as the closing of PI. So either that day has some kind of important significance to the space time continuum or perhaps it's just ...

The Lazy Day

darthstich — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 23:47:42 GMT

Lazy Day is your chance to goof off, and definitely not work. And, it definitely comes at a good time. Hot, muggy weather makes it easy to kick back and be lazy for a day. If summer chores are not done by now, they can just wait one more day. It is best spent on a hammock, along with your favorite summer beverage.

Whoever said "There's no lazy days...just lazy people." Well, we respectfully disagree. Today is proof positive. It is indeed a Lazy Day. And, we consider that a good ...

Disney Cinemagic created a record-breaking piece of beach art to launch their Monster Summer of Movies. To celebrate the start of the summer holidays, the family movie channel commissioned a team of 10 highly skilled artists to create the giant picture of Monsters Inc character Sulley on Blackpool Beach.

What are your 'must do' Hollywood Studios attractions?

TinkRocks — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 07:56:35 GMT

I love Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Muppet*Vision 3D, and One Man's Dream.

I haven't experienced Toy Story Mania, so can't comment on that yet.

I usually try and watch the parades / shows in the afternoons, but if I've seen the parades before, I'll grab a drink and relax for a while.

Fantasmic is a must do for me every trip (sometimes twice per trip). The Osborne Spectacle of Lights is also a must do at Christmas (I'm a sucker for Christmas lights).

Since the rehab of Spaceship Earth (sponsored by Siemens), SSE has lost some of the magic it once had.
