    Disney, VR/AR, and Apple's WWDC 2023

    Wearables are hit or miss. We are almost a decade into smart watches and only 12% of Americans wear a smart watch or a fitness tracker. Note that this includes less advanced hardware than devices in the same category of Apple Watch. In terms of adoption that number has peaked. Wearables...

    It's good enough for now. We'll retool when it starts becoming a drag on Food/Beverage/Merch profitability.

    And you can setup binoculars in your room to track the progress of the Corn Dog Stand and the Cake Shop across the lake.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    The only struggle I want to have when visiting Disney World is either at the buffet or reading my post trip credit card statement. Death and Loss is not magical and while it may be compelling story to some it is certainly out of place for others.

    Clearly it needs to be turbocharged with more IP.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    ROE had a more adult feeling to it. There was always a vibe of anticipation when the pre-show music started which carried through the show. Also it was original and unique and fun.

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    Not surprising about Luminous. It's basically the same style show as Harmonious, just without the mistakes in the lake. My personal feeling was that it was not great but not terrible, just unremarkable. I think more people positively reacted the fact that the overbearing show hardware was...

    The festivals certainly do hurt the QS locations hardest. But generally with a couple of exceptions the QS Epcot locations are pretty terrible. I think it will certainly keep the locals away until the fall, but I'm not sure why that would be a good thing if the summer is going to be a slow summer.

    News EPCOT to be festival-free for summer 2024

    Two thoughts: They are worried about the Fall being extremely slow, and the only way to juice it up would be to condense F&W to hopefully boost crowds. They are worried that the Summer is going to be too slow to justify the addition of adding F&W and that it would negatively impact the...
