    Took a trip and have some thoughts - Mar 3rd to 6th

    Hey everyone, instead of doing a full blown report, i'm just going to rapid fire some points I had based on this last trip. It is the first time we used our magic key passes, and the first time in several years i've been to DL outside of the Christmas season. Green is positive, red is negative...

    BTMRR’s final lift TNT effect has been shut off intentionally

    Currently at DL, typing on mobile. The TNT mist effect hasn’t worked for my last 3 visits so I decided to ask a ops cast member when it was going to be fixed. He informed me it was intentionally shut off. Apparently the mist was interfering with the sensors that determined if everyone remained...

    California Screamin' / Tower for Food & Wine Festival? Yay or Nay?

    Would you want to see CS make a comeback for the California food and wine festival, like Soarin over California does? If you think about it, this shouldn't be a challenge. Load the soundtrack, cover the windows of the show buildings, leave the tunnels dim, and it's California Screamin'...

    What is the business mindset behind locking Magic Keys?

    I had a few theories, but am mainly curious what you all think. My belief is that they've paused key sales because of the "unfavorable attendance mix" iger explained awhile ago. But if that is the case, wouldn't they just skyrocket the prices and introduce more blackouts? Even more than they do...

    Visited 11/18 to 11/21 and have some thoughts.

    Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and enjoyed some time to yourselves and your families. My mom and dad invited us (my fiance, me, and our 2 year old) to a Disneyland trip this last weekend, which was 11/18 to 11/21. Originally they wanted to go in October but we...

    How much of the DIS stock plummet is related to the parks? In particular, WDW..

    As you may or may not have heard, DIS stock had closed today at it's lowest point in roughly 9 years at $82 a share. If I remember correctly, in the last earnings call, theme park revenue was as high as ever but attendance was lower. However, we read complaints all the time of slow...

    So I went to Disneyland for the first time in 4 years..

    Hi everyone. So I went to Disneyland for the first time in roughly 4 or 5 years. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS: -The esplanade was very efficient. There wasn't a line for security checks or admittance that was longer than a few minutes. I'm happy to report that this was a pain-free process. -The parks...

    First revisit in years.. questions

    Family wants to visit the parks later this year. If you recall awhile back I started a thread about this months ago, but that trip ended up getting cancelled so we're all trying again for December. Here's my list of questions: 1. -Is it possible to book 3 days, with only 1 as a park hopper...

    Disney does not want you in the parks.

    Hi my fellow unfavorable attendees & legacy fans, long time no post. I watched this video today after it randomly showed up in my feed. This dude pretty much has it spot on as to the state of the parks. Basically, and this isn't really news let's be honest.. I'm just bored and have a temp. He...

    DIS Is Not Performing Well.. How Will This Effect Disneyworld?

    DIS has been on a downward trend since February of 2021. If DIS continues to fall, will this negatively effect the theme parks and future projects in the WDW area? What does it mean for Disney's current theme park trends? What does this mean for announced projects like re-themes and new...

    Family wants to go to Disneyland. I'm not excited. Tips?

    It's been awhile since i've made a new topic. My family wants to go to Disneyland sometime in July. As the title says, I'm really not excited for it. The last time I went to Disneyland was around 2018 I think (it was before ROTR) and while I enjoyed some aspects of the park, I felt like the...

    Are you a Disney shareholder? If so.. why?

    For those of you who have dipped your feet into the market, are you invested in the Walt Disney Corporation? If so, why are you? If not, why aren't you? I'll start - no I am not invested. I have a strong dislike for Disney management, I don't find them to be sexy (my definition of a company...

    Non-Disney Hotels Under $100 a Night.. Worth it?

    I mean now that Magical Express is leaving, and there is no more fastpass.. I'm shocked at all the options. For Mid-March, i'm seeing the following: Grande Villas Resort - 78 Club Wyndham Cypress Palms - 87 Home2 Suites by Hilton - 99 SpringHill Suites by Marriot - 99 Compared to say...

    Dinoland is lagging so far behind Uni's Jurassic Attractions

    Remember Jurassic World's original, rather lame ending to their new JW ride? I'm sure most of you have now heard or seen it, but they shut it down again and added some extra stuff. Now the finale is actually quite amazing. Even the ride in Beijing is impressive.. not the story or action...

    Bullish on Chapek & His Crew for Disneyland (not sarcasm)

    For those of you who don't know, bullish means optimistic about a stock's price in the long term. This post will be about more than that - and no, I am not being sarcastic in any way. I truly believe Chapek is someone who will continue to bring value to the Disney company and the people who...

    Tower season greetings projections.. do you like it?

    Apparently Disney cancelled all of sunset boulevards season greetings show, except for the projections on tower. Makes me wonder, do you all like that aspect of it? I really was expecting them to cancel the projection this year. I don't want the haunted hotel to look like a gingerbread house...

    Universal in 1 day?

    Does it make sense to visit Universal Orlando with a 1 day park hopper, or should I consider getting a single 2-day ticket? I'm planning a trip for sometime in December and would like to see all the big rides if possible. Thanks!

    Your Favorite Vacation Spots Other Than Disneyland?

    A couple of days ago I found myself in Tuscon, Arizona, visiting the Pima Air & Space Museum to celebrate a certain family milestone. To my surprise, they had over 200 aircraft including an A-10 warthog, B-17 "flying fortress", and most intriguingly - the second SR-71 Blackbird ever made...
