I understand. I read it as you excusing some sort of operational breakdown where instead the project as a whole did not involve people who would make those considerations and take ownership over closing these gaps. I wonder if a consideration was ever made to beta test elements of the...

My understanding is that you 1) were given a check in window 2) you self report to the building at the check in window 3) you take the elevator up into the ship There were a finite and known number of guests every day and the transportation elements were either directed by Disney for the...

This is something that really stood out to me: pointing out that the company’s penchant for nickel and diming infected this already incredibly expensive and premium experience, and core issues with the infrastructure of the experience that started before you even got on the elevator to the ship...

I think the sense of malaise I have felt when interacting with the company’s creative products over the last 10 years can be described as “the individual items collected together are less than the sum of its parts”. SWGS seems to have further devolved into having individual elements that...

It is not that he is a micro manager of Star Wars as much as finding it fascinating he wants people to know he has an impact on it considering how bad they have fumbled the IPover the last decade.

For some reason, there is one anecdote about Iger that has been etched in my mind forever, and it's one he volunteered about perosonally reviewing and approving pages for Star Wars. You cannot divorce the creative product of Lucasfilm under Disney ownership from the creative (?) mind (?) of...

Tangentially, offlining floors or buildings at POFQ for maintenance and rehab might be technically true in that someone is going into one room every day to change a lightbulb, but those Bay Lake Tower units will be as available as possible with soft good refreshes delayed in the macro and...

The company has the theoretical capacity to build a great one but they simply have not done this in the US this century. Trackless is another good example. I think a problem they could overcome were they to build a 4th one on property, would be make it a significantly different experience from...

Flight of Passage was the right ride in the right place at the right time. I think it would be a disservice to the company and the guests to build an exact copy of that ride with a different video and motion profile in Florida. You would run into the same problem Universal has with Transformers...

I also think Universal has proven that a B&M ride could not handle how Disney would want to operate it (into the ground). B&M has a great business trading on high quality engineering for regional theme park operators, they have no motivation to go into business with Disney. On BTM, it's...

Your experience is not necessarily a universal truth across all types of guests.

Yeah, I actually am not someone who sees a lot of sacred cows in either Fantasyland in the US except the DL IASW. I don't think the company will ever do it because you can't sell 7 figures in merch and run an 18 month marketing plan on it, but there's definitely a hidden guest satisfaction...

I think two things can be true here: your standard first time family visiting unit around a median US family income and obtaining a median understanding of the resort operations (probably a bit lower than you could ever think) is having a significantly diminished experience for their dollar...

This might be in a Martin vid or something, but I believe mist at the top of EE did exist but it messed with the sensors on the critical track flips.

Man, this thing is just going to loom over me like a plague if and when I am ever on the loop again. So disappointing.
