My 2 cents (if worth that) is that that is the wrong precedent for this lawsuit. Instead, the eleventh circuit’s ruling in Gwinnett County is more applicable. Here is the text from the very case they cite: 32 What our decision in Gwinnett County means, and whether it is distinguishable, is a...

No, 6000 was not the double occupancy. Double occupancy was 4,700. In the past Disney has used the maximum capacity when talking about the capacity of their ships (e.g. Disney Dream was touted as 4,000 passengers). However, your point remains that Disney has not made it clear what the 6,000...

This ship was designed with larger staterooms than industry average featuring a split bath so the staterooms fit nicely into Disney's stateroom design (structurally). They also advertised eight onboard theaters when this ship was first announced. Obviously there is a lot of...

Unpopular opinion, but I was really not impressed by B-Lou during my trips to HH. He seemed very annoyed by my kids and seemed like he didn’t want to be around children. On the other hand, shadow is an icon of the resort so I hope that this is just B-Lou being dismissed and another “shadow” will...

I am sure these same conversations were happening before, but they at least considered public perception before discussing these cutbacks and prices increases. Now it is in your face that you are just a dollar bill. They talk about guests like they are a manufacturing company cutting costs.

My prediction is that Disney is going to start giving away the lightning lane individual selections as a perk to certain guests. Concierge? One day per 5 day ticket? Something like that. Pure speculation of course, but if it isn’t used much I could see them offering it up to the highest paying...

At Grand Floridian too.

Mears didn’t handle the luggage.

This one feels different than everything else. For many it was/is something that separated staying at a Disney resort from others. It was a sign that Disney did things differently to make the vacation as enjoyable as possible. It had its flaws but it was always nice knowing it was an option...

I am pretty sure it is included in the “transportation” item on the annual dues. It will be interesting to see how that cost compares next year.

Bad decision. For those with young kids it is always a hassle to use private transportation or a rental car. Magical Express made it so easy.

Hey guys we need more ride capacity at Animal Kingdom. Why don't we add a off-the-shelf ride with a height requirement higher than space mountain...

I think this makes a lot of sense for Disneyland. Today there is a sudden transition between haunted mansion and splash mountain that this will fix. I think it is a good change for Disneyland. For magic kingdom though... I don’t see how it fits next to Big Thunder. I am cautiously optimistic...

I agree completely. For a long time, fans have thought that WDI was the best and no one else came close. At one point, this might have been true. Now with Harry Potter (and other attractions before it at IOA like Spiderman), fans are starting to see that WDI aren't the only ones capable of doing...

I am, admittedly, unfamiliar with the exact implementation for RnRC. Is it more sophisticated than Universal's Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit? I assumed less so (but correct me if I am wrong), and I did not find Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit to be a particularly sophisticated system (I am familiar with...
