Disney never gave an official opening date for Jessie’s Critter Carousel at Disney California Adventure. The website just says April 2019. But since the ride has been in soft opening for several days now, we’re gonna go ahead and call it. Jessie’s Critter Carousel is now considered an official ride for the Disneyland Resort version […]
Is the Haunted Mansion Wolf Howl Silenced Forever?
You only need to hear the Haunted Mansion wolf howl once and you’ll never forget it. Its long, mournful wail is as iconic as Disney park sound effects get — as memorable as the whistle of the steam train, the blast from the Riverboat, the ridiculous honk of the monorail. It’s really more of a […]
Epcot to Add New “Vagueland” Pavilion
Epcot might soon play host to a new and possibly one-of-a-kind pavilion, company officials hinted at this morning in a breathtaking press release. Loosely themed to the nebulous power of uncertainty, the new Epcot pavilion — whose working title is Vagueland (though that may change) — is expected to open to guests sometime in the […]
Soarin’ Preshow Digitally Altered For No Apparent Reason
The Soarin’ preshow has been at the center of controversy ever since the ride’s Epcot debut in 2006.

Abandoned Fantasia Gardens Pavilion Might Be Master Architect’s Lost Work
Most guests don’t even know about Fantasia Gardens mini-golf. It’s a secondary excursion at best — the kind of freebie they used to dole out on your all-inclusive package, right up there with “free admission” to Wide World of Sports or a crappy t-shirt from Planet Hollywood. Even Disney Transportation forgets about it. A self-assured Cast […]

Liberty Belle Riverboat Refurbishment Deals Blow to WDW49 Challenge
Early this year, the Liberty Belle Riverboat went under refurbishment, putting successful attempts at the Parkeology WDW47 Challenge on hold. With the opening of Toy Story Land last weekend and the dawn of the WDW49 version of the challenge, many of us have been anxiously awaiting the Riverboat’s return on July 20th. Unfortunately this morning, […]
