Took WBill Jr. to see the mouse this year. I'd never been. We had fun, but I don't have the need to go again, ever. Been there, done that, don't need to again....

I'm not sure what the article was talking about though.... Hollywood Studios was pretty impressive and easily the most interesting place we went.

The Magic Kingdom was crowded, on an off-day, at a non-peak, cool, time of the year. In July, it must be like the 9th circle of hell.

Epcot would have been interesting in 1985. Now, not so much. "Meh", was the kid's take.

Animal Kingdom, in a word, sucked. But in it's defense, we *do* have one of the best zoos in the country in our backyard, so our bar is pretty high.

Coolest place we went? The 5-story arcade at Disney Springs. Went there on a whim (nothing to do one afternoon) and wished we'd allotted more time. Had the place pretty much to ourselves. WBill Jr designed his own roller coaster, then rode it in a 360 degree motion simulator. Barf-inducing.....

The picture of the "deserted" Hollywood Studios was from the summer of 2015.

I've done that -- lots of fun.

But, there is now a roller coaster simulator in Epcot, near the test track. The capsule is mounted on the end of the arm of a big industrial robot. The range of motion is much greater. However, I haven't tried that one.
