Also have the same thought about Tomorrowland Terrace and how under utilized it is for its location. I was wondering - am I the only one who calls it "The Noodle Station"? Used to like to sit up there and hear the music, which could only be described as "Tomorrowland Background Music" and sometimes you would catch a bit of "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" |

Clickbait has been horrible lately. YouTube comments called him out on his "SPACE MOUNTAIN IS CLOSING PERMANENTLY" title I feel like for the last couple years, Food Blog has been going down that same path. "Beloved attraction closes permanently!" and it's something in a far-away park that maybe a couple people viewed as "beloved". Or "Big changes this week at Epcot!!!!" and it's like they are open a half hour later because of the fireworks or something. |

Stuff like that. And they don't really know food. They just eat everywhere and take a lot of photos. |

Back in the day I used them for that; I wanted to know what a restaurant was like, or had on the menu or the buffet, DFB had all the pictures I wanted. A lot of times it was to see if they had a self-serve soda machine for instance hee hee. Or my wife wanted to know if they had Coke Zero or something. I am laughing out loud at the "NEW CUPCAKE!!!" comment! That's classic. |

I had subscribed to DFB for information about Party for the Senses in the past. Beyond that, it's basically useless.
Cheers.

Used to like to sit up there and hear the music, which could only be described as "Tomorrowland Background Music" and sometimes you would catch a bit of "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" You are not! I remember that fondly! I really do miss a lot of what you were saying with the music and background sounds and such. It really felt like a little Oasis between Main Street and Tomorrowland And not related to this post I quoted but yes DFB, oh my goodness they drive me nuts with their titles! I think they are good for seeing pictures of new food items and that's about it |

With a weird food allergy sometimes seeing a food can help me know if it's worth bothering to try to order or not. |

About the only video of theirs that I watch is the weekly "latest Disney news" for a summary of what's going on; it's a reasonably short roundup of all the news and updates from the past week. I gave my email once to download one of their handouts and quickly unsubscribed from all the junk that started landing in my Inbox (and the handout I was looking for was not that great). I couldn't even tell you if the email content was good or bad (I'm guessing "not good") as I couldn't get past the 20 different colors and fonts and font sizes and other horribly distracting design elements to care to read it. |

As much as i love the epcot lounge, they changed the furniture when we were there in december (literally during our stayone day was the old furniture the next was the new). The new furniture is very uncomfortable, so i don't think anyone will be staying long anymore.

Talk about an anticlimax….
It’s going to be at Disney Springs at the new Welcome Center.
I have a screenshot but can’t post it.

This place is my first (and usually ONLY) source of Disney news! Side note: This last December was my first time being in the building at Springs where you go if you have problems with your band etc, it is near D-Luxe Burger and Blaze Pizza. My sister was having trouble with the band her child picked out. I went with just to see the building...it's filled with sweet "back-story" artwork! Old paintings of Disney Springs back in the day! "Old" as in, "made to look old" and "back in the day" as in...the backstory. |

There is a new DVC Welcome Center at Disney Springs, and it will have a lounge there. But already there’s some confusion, with posts on Twitter that this is the previously announced lounge.  |
