The new crater music is pretty disappointing imo

Here's a picture of this year's gingerbread house in the Grand Floridian's lobby.

NB I used Magic Eraser to remove people from the image, the structure itself was not tweaked.

This is Skippy. For those who never experienced it, he was part of the pre-show for The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter at Disney World, an attraction which was responsible for many therapy and dry-cleaning bills.

This particular Skippy was given to me by a dear friend who's sadly no longer with us and bought him at Disney World as a kid. One of the many shared experiences we bonded over was the trouser-filling fear we both went through on that ride.

I kept him in a cupboard for a long time for fear of him being damaged but from now on he'll take pride of place in my living room.

I'm polling different communities on lemmy to gauge interest in a Lorcana Community. I moderate a few other gaming related communities, so I would plan to run a Lorcana community in a similar fashion if there is enough interest. So I figured I should ask c/Disney!

I did it! Come join us at !lorcana@lemmy.world

View from the boat while entering it's a small world.

what are your thoughts on it? I only watched the first 4 episodes (up until the one with selena gomez) and i'm loving it so far, i still need to catch up though.

My wife and I are looking to become Annual Pass holders. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the photo pas later on for one pass if we buy the two together?

Also, any tips from current passholders? We know they sometimes offer promotions for Disney resorts that we want to take advantage of but any other suggestions would be awesome.

It seemed like every time we visited WDW, there was some event or show taking place in front of Cinderella's Castle, and the interior was closed.

When I visited as a kid, you'd walk through the castle and ooh and aah at the mosaic.

I've wanted to see the mosaic again for years, and it was always closed. I finally got the chance again last time, and I took some pictures.

Where has this guy been?

When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.

That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood.

Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day's activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.

I don't understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I've always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we'll be doing and where we'll be going during our Disney trips.

Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed?

Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?

What's your favorite Disney World Restaurant, and what is it about that restaurant that makes it your favorite?

Without any deep thought, the first one that popped into my mind was Narcoossee's. The food is amazing, and there's a great view of fireworks if you're there in the evening.

When my wife and I went to WDW after she graduated from school (1996, I think?), we stayed on property at the Grand Floridian. It was my first time staying in a Disney resort. We arrived too early to check in, so we went to Narcoossee's for lunch.

The last time we went to WDW (2021), we took our adult children with us, and had a wonderful dinner with everyone together at Narcoossee's.
