    Where in the World is Buzzy (the AA)?

    Having worked in Security at Disney for 8 years, I can assure you that something like this would not be difficult; especially at Epcot.....

    Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

    Blumhouse Halloween feels like a given, with the box office approaching $200 million

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    I feel Johnson's choice to make the movie about 'The Force' is the the equivalent to saying Harry Potter is about 'Magic'. In an overarching sense, it's true, but it's the Characters that keep you interested. And I agree that the prequels showed that there were all sorts of Jedi, from all...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    Actually Lucas did not even write Empire, that is why the dialogue is the best of all the movies lol. However, the story being told was his, so there was vision clarity at minimum.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    I disagree with the idea of mixing things up on a 3 part story. It is not Johnson's fault, he said he just read TFA script and had to think 'what came next', but the problem now is that JJ is forced to live with the finality of certain story choices. You may like the ideas f TLJ, but it is...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi

    This movie is an example of why a story needs to have 1 voice in creation. I have zero interest in a Harry Potter story not told by JK, a Hobbit story not told by Tolkien, a Godfather movie not directed by Coppola, etc. Once many voices tell the story, the story will necessarily change, maybe...

    I wonder if AHS will be the uber-house next year.....popular both last year and this year they could do a house with all 7(by next year) seasons. H=Kind of like the Walking Dead best bits from last year.

    HHN 27 House Route/Strategy

    The special section in the HK S&S was just first come first serve, the right hand side is filled first, then the rest of the area. No special access at all.

    HHN 27 House Route/Strategy

    I am def going with the Hello Kitty S&S, AHS, Shining plan to start the night. The other IP's are not as strong this year, i.e. no Halloween or TCM that are recognizable names for casual fans. I think the lines this year for AHS/Shining will be even longer then last year. If you can ony go 1...

    Stay and Scream Locations?

    If you are interested in American Horror Story at all, the S&S in Lucy in the best bet. Last year I used it at least 5 times and if you were not in line by 4:30 at the latest, the line was quite long. It was, however, the best way to see AHS without a 2 hour wait for most of the night. I...

    Where to Eat - (The good part!)

    For pizza, I recommend Sal's Market at Portofino Bay. Inexpensive, tasty wood fire pizzas and large sandwiches. It is a nice, relaxng boat trip from Citywalk, not usually too crowded and delicious.

    Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

    If that map turns out to be accurate the S&S for AHS will be even worse than last year. The right side of the park does not seem strong enough to pull enough of the GP that cares more about IP's.

    Idiot "Sneaks" in IoA for the Night

    You would be surprised at how easy it is to stay in some parks....while working Security at Epcot, I once observed a couple exit the front turnstiles at 1 am...90 minutes after the park was cleared. They stated they had been walking around and had 'missed' seeing the clearing. After hours...

    Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

    Lovecraft would be an extremely hard house to pull off. Other than Cthulhu, none of his literary creations has a true form. Can anyone rally picture a Shoggoth? His writing consists of 'things that are too terrible for the human mind to comprehend'....kind of tough to pull off in a 5 minute...

    SeaWorld Entertainment eliminates hundreds of jobs

    One of the reasons for a 6 hour shift is that, for most of the unions at Disney, anything over 6 hours requires a 30 minute lunch break which then requires more people for coverage...Also, some unions consider 30, and some 32, full time with benefit eligibility. In Disney Security, it was 32...

    So then we will have to queue up down Hollywood, in order to queue up in the holding area, in order to enter the Despicable Me queue, in order to enter the AHS queue...talk about a living Mobius strip....:doh:

    Halloween Horror Nights 26 Discussion

    Yesterday I was 6th in line at the S&S at Lucy and there was much talk between team members, managers and some guests about how bad the line is becoming in that area. On only the second weekend the line extended back to near Duff Gardens before tickets were even begun to be scanned. They seem...

    Cabana Bay Beach Resort

    I stayed at Portofino 2 weeks ago, there was a $200 hold put on my card, I did not have the option to decline. I did not have room charge privileges, but was told the hold was 'in case' I charged anything. This has never happened at CBR. However, Portofino had the room bar and food fridge...
