I was under the impression it was only 10% for AP holders at select locations/times.

I still eat at 'Ohana every trip. We typically have one other scheduled reservation and then one place we try to book same day. I also stay offsite and eat offsite once or twice a trip as well.

The church actually got to stay, they are just building the stadium around it now. Kind of like the house in UP.

its the new disney way to reveal things.
they announce the announcement of the reveal. Just like they did with the infamous "opening" of the seven dwarf mine train.
It would be hilarious if next.. you will have to FP+ to get to the party that shows the announcement.

Even in its current condition, we do as well. You can't discount the amount of vacationing northeasterners (and other folks from cold states) who want to take advantage of the great weather and go out for an evening stroll as a family. A relatively inexpensive evening out at that. Like a great night at the boardwalk when you're at the beach. With DS there should be something for everybody and the sights and ambiance should be pretty good too. Heck, even now they do a pretty good job placing live music throughout.
The "backstory" may be lame but whatever

Unlike TiW, doesn't include booze. I think there's little question TiW is aimed at the Drunky Town crowd.

On the topic of the "story" of Disney Springs I remember reading an interview or aritcle or something a long time ago about how Disney used to build "experience rides" and didn't focus on story so much. That focus on story apparently started with Michael Eisner. I doubt if I could ever find it again so if anyone knows what I'm talking about I could use help.

It's a rather common topic of discussion.

While not the article you are looking for there is a Marc Davis quote "We really don't have a story, with a beginning, an end, or a plot. It's more a series of experiences building up to a climax. I call them experience rides."
You see evidence of this ride experiences over storytelling in HM and the original Pirates before Jack Sparrow entered the picture.

True, but we do stay off property for short trips and still save 20% if we eat in the parks. You don't have to stay on property to save with the TIW card. We would eat at the places we go with or without the card, so as I said, at this point, it's all savings for us. We drive our own car, so we could eat elsewhere, and we do, but the places we do like, onsite, happen to take the TIW. It's like with anything, like dining plans or not, it's what works for your family. We don't do the dining plan as we don't eat anywhere near enough food to get any savings from it, but big eaters and those who do signature or character dining daily would probably save. Before we were AP holders, we never did the packages as when I crunched the numbers, room discounts always saved us much more than a dining plan.

All is not well in Mudville... and I think the distractions in the back of house aren't helping.

They believe discussion forums are a dead format. They are all about the blogz and comments because they want their pages to be linked and commented on. They gutted their forum community, and left it to rot, and then when the forum is dead...it justifies their belief that discussion forums are a dead medium. They over subscribed to the 'everyone just clicks links on facebook' mentality and abandoned the idea of a online community. Completely misguided... I tried raising the warning flags and they don't want to hear it. They've made their bed.. and now it's time to sleep in it.
Meanwhile.. I'm in other hobby forums that make WDWMagic look like the minor leagues in terms of posting traffic. Obviously forums are dead..

@WDW1974, you piqued my interest when you mentioned a couple of weeks ago that, Carowinds, was going to announce something big for their 2015 season. I just finished watching a live stream of that announcement, and wow, if you like roller coasters this will blow your mind. They mentioned that it will be the longest and tallest coaster in the world. It's supposed to be 325 feet tall, with an 81 degree drop. They are doing good things with their 50 million dollar investment. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I guess I have a few months to work up the nerve to try it out!

Here's an interview with James Gunn that is, mostly, appropriate to post here.

The original backstory for Pleasure Island was a major part of the theming of that area, and really did help to set the scene.
