    Scentsy and Walt Disney World are bringing a new guest experience within Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom

    If it weren't a partnership with an MLM I wouldn't care about it and would probably even think it's cute. However, the partnership with an MLM makes this a hard no for me.

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    I was there, a group of about 3 to my back and a little further forward in the middle section with one being noticeably louder than the others kept constantly interrupting whoever was speaking. They managed to get them to answer if there was a plan for buses, and they said no. Those people and...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    Which the residents at the community meeting said they don’t want in their area (because mass transit = poors and crime, that’s always the reason), and then turned around at the BCC meeting chiming in like that was something the developers should be considering to get their approval.

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    It’s literally already 4 lanes under the first 429 overpass heading north and they’re currently widening it to 4 lanes at the 2nd overpass… If you mean the Turnpike, that has a published plan already as well on the county website (I’ll maybe find it later when I actually post this after work)...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Which was spearheaded by Roy E. Disney, which as I said, isn't happening again. There are two options as I see it, Iger or Peltz. There is no realistic 3rd option (supporting neither and ousting Iger without some opposite stabilizing power) that doesn't result in a faster, more violent version...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Please tell me what the 3rd option is that isn't just a new mask on Iger/Peltz version X.X You think that Peltz or anyone else that has the money and power to pull off something like this is doing it for essentially altruistic purposes and will truly hand over their control to someone else...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Sure, but that's not the option presented at the moment and not realistic, so any discussion in that direction is not productive or very reasonable. It's more akin to a Blue Sky discussion, which this is not.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    And you (the royal you for all those that seem to be in favor of Peltz & Co.) believe that investment will actually happen in a way that is positive for the parks and us as fans once they have control/a sizable say? I think it's pretty obvious the answer would be no given everything we know...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    I'm just blown away that after years of bemoaning the "sharp pencil boys" and the current corporate/Wall St. mindset that there are people in here advocating for the even more "sharp pencil boy" corporate raider type and listening to the same kind of Wall St. analyst mindset that pushes the...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    I know Nicole is, but that doesn’t matter unless you’re taking the stance that absolutely no additional housing of any type should be built at all, luxury, middle, or affordable. As for the water pressure, are you purposely ignoring the ongoing work on the water main/line(s) that they broke...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    I wish I could say I'm surprised at some of the things I overheard at the meeting tonight being said to various officials. It's likely going to get approved because there's very little that major developers want that gets successfully pushed back against and I expect there to be a max of 2 "No"...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    I’m very familiar with it. The existing intersection with Avalon is clearly built with Hartzog being 4 lanes in mind (no need for 2 lanes straight into Waterleigh) at least around the curve and parallel to 429 for a bit. Follow it along on Google Maps the entire way from Avalon to Western Way...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    I intend on attending, but just wanted to note that if you look at the overhead view of the plan (admittedly the “concept art” equivalent for this), you’ll notice that the depicted setback of the project from Hartzog appears sufficient to widen it to four lanes. While I generally share your...

    News Disney World theme park tickets increase in price for 2025

    The problem is that there’s likely literally a handful of people in the world that could have a legit shot at the CEO job that would actually do enough positive things to offset the continued increase in prices…for all of about two or three years before the veneer wears off and oh wait, it’s...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    That entire vacant area is set aside for a large park and I believe a library (might be mixing the library up with another public space though), which I’m quite excited for. It is marked if you zoom in far enough on Google Maps. EDIT: It’s both a library and YMCA in the park area...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    Lived down there for a few years and definitely don’t miss that traffic, although my commute home is slowly but consistently working its way up closer to what it was when I lived there. Still remember the morning it took me an hour to go from the light at the Omni to the I-4 east ramp, and that...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    This is where, as much as I typically agree with @LAKid53 and others, I have to go the opposite direction on this. I sit on Western Way every day on my commute home, and on the way in when I don’t leave early enough. I know they’re generally well behind where they should be (I love seeing...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    I have that question when I see posts from several people here. Mario Kart is easily some of the most fun I’ve had on a ride that isn’t a coaster since the first time I rode Spiderman, ToT, FJ, and Rise. The format works so well for the experience, and I’m always very skeptical of VR/AR things...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    I expect that's because they don't think they need to be super visible due to their popularity and the relative "small" nature of their land entrances compared to HTTYD and Monsters, among other reasons. Also will probably help keep the central areas clearer for the show at night and keeping...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    I feel like Universal was getting better with their food overall just before Covid, and while some of their newer offerings have been good (though, not my personal preference) their previously existing locations seem to be getting worse. And that's not even getting to the value/prices. I do...
