    Did Victoria Falls at AKL Change?

    Online menus have been weirdly unreliable lately feels like, and I can't think of any reason this would actually be true. Shame if it is though!

    Zach Riddley promoted to Global Creative Strategy Executive

    I think his heart is in the right place. People make fun of his posts about tiles and the literal ground but all those details are a huge part of the history of Imagineering, and I'm glad to have someone with that mindset in a leadership role. BUT, sometimes I do get the same vibe I get from...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

    It seems like huge chunks of the creative processes at Disney are deeply flawed these days. More often than not, it doesn't seem like they know how to execute big picture on projects anymore. Harmonious had a ton of great individual moments, but as a whole, was not well received. Enchantment at...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    not working? The hotel booking site had a 30 minute queue on it immediately when those promos dropped. I've never dabbled with free dining in the past so maybe it's common for certain promos but there was definitely a response.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Historically, have resorts ever filled up generally throughout the summer? As far as I remember, the complete lack of availability situations that have popped up in the last year or two have been a new staffing related issue, almost completely separate from demand. There are an absolute ton of...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

    How could $750 million possibly be spent on the intangibles of this? I could even believe $100-200 million if you roll in all the interactive roleplay experiments and projects over the years but that’s just absurd. the thing is too, if this had worked, each voyage would have been absolutely...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

    If it wasn't making money with half the "voyages" at full price, how could it make money with more voyages at half price?

    News Expanded Lightning Lane entry process testing at Haunted Mansion

    For people who have their own device, I think most devices support a mode like iOS "express" mode which requires a tap with zero other interaction. But most people have no idea how stuff on their phone works outside of the camera and texting apps. Since they launched it I've been having no...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    He really thinks this is a winning gameplan for a primary race lmao. Most people aren't going to political rallies/events in general, especially not this early in a election cycle, so when he goes to Michigan and gets a big pop from the crowd talking about turning an existing road into a toll...

    Mandalorian and Grogu meet and greet for Walt Disney World

    Not surprising given everything we've ever known about DL vs WDW lol, but it's just so crazy that the same character in the same land results in such different situations on each coast.

    Trip Report A Day (or 4) at the Races

    What'd you think of the Cali 50th menu? I feel like I see a lot of gripes about it but I thought it was pretty great! Hadn't been before so maybe it's all relative but I had low expectations going in, and it cleared those by a long shot, and even felt like a better value than many of our other...

    California Grill fireworks

    Maybe uncommon opinion, but I didn't love watching the fireworks from California Grill. Going during this past Halloween season, it was the only night we were able to see the usual MK fireworks, and for a show I'd never seen before, it was a really bad way to actually watch it! For better or...

    Trip Report Surprise! We went to Disneyland Paris!

    The weather really does look miserable with the rain and all, but glad to hear it really wasn't that bad! Cold Disney is definitely better than Hot Disney, it's true! DLP definitely has its negatives (the food, mostly, was not surprised to hear that your Hyperion burger was bad lol) but for...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    The same thing that happened for 40+ years: nothing of note

    Dining Promo Card with Walt Disney World resort hotel bookings for summer 2023

    This is great tbh. I don't really like the plan but would love this, as long as it's available to use pretty much anywhere. Well, actually I guess it's still fully rack rate which I'll probably never do again BUT if forced to pick between the DDP and this, I'd pick this lol.

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    If this is accurate, this is one of the most insane and disappointing bits of real-time news I have ever read about the parks. MEMORIAL DAY 2024??? Come ON lmao, something is deeply and fundamentally wrong with this part of the company. The entire front of the park has been a disaster for 2+...

    can Disney bring it all back.. or have they gone TOO FAR...

    People say this about every company as commentary on Corporate America but I'm saying that this is happening right now! it's why Chapek is gone! This isn't a 20+ year legacy issue, like people are comparing EPCOT now to 1987 and telling their friends and family how much they miss Horizons. These...

    can Disney bring it all back.. or have they gone TOO FAR...

    Attendance is a lagging indicator, by at least 12-18 months. It's not a restaurant down the street people are deciding to go to this weekend because they're hearing so many good things. It's a huge commitment that people have decided to make months and months ago, based on decades of either...

    Disney Genie and Genie+ at Walt Disney World

    They’re never gonna give up the revenue so the time has come rip the bandaid off and go Express Pass mode already. The product as-is kinda sucks for a lot of people who pay for it, and it big time sucks for everyone in standby who doesn’t. They need to: 5x or 6x the price. $125 a head minimum...

    Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind SPOILER Thread

    The moon is definitely the most extreme instance of "rotating to look at something" goes and probably the source of most of the motion sickness problems all by itself lol. But the rest of rotation isn't really "look at this scene" it completely alters the sensations you're experience. It's not...
