You’ve nailed it. Villains Land has been talked about since 20,000 Leagues was still taking guests on board. It’s continued to be desired for all of this time and there are so many fantastic possibilities. It seems to be the antithesis of short sighted.

UCF put together a very nice piece about Mr. Nunis. As a proud alumni of the university, who has seen it transform from a commuter school to major university, his footprint of impact goes well beyond WDW in Central Florida...

Having camped out in front Japan for a few hours before the show, my family had a great view of the show, and I have some observations. This was a vast improvement over Harmonious. For us real old school Epcot fans, the opening of the show where people spoke from the different nations with the...

It has been nothing short of oppressive heat here in Orlando. I typically bike or run during my lunch break, but not this week as it has to be at the start of the day. Our cats love to come and sit out by our pool and no takers this week. They watched us from the backdoor and it has felt quite...

Whether there is truth to this as it pertains to attendance (although Iger is pushing that narrative), I can tell you that as a local it's hot, really hot. Our nighttime lows are several degrees above normal (typically 6-7 degrees) along with daytime highs running around 5 degrees warmer than...

We were just at Epcot last night and if it weren't for Lightning Lane artificially slowing down the lines, they'd be even shorter. It felt like a throwback evening where you could actually walk around, not be slammed up next to another person, and leisurely enjoy the sights. Epcot Forever was a...

Yes, we have friends who’s relatives had relocated in the past year from Imagineering and were having homes built.

We were walking from The Magic Kingdom to The Contemporary last week and there is extensive cracking throughout several of the support beams as you go along the pathway. It was a bit distressing to say the least.

No misread and you aren't wrong with your thought process, however, I never mentioned the voters. I'm speaking of the legislature. I've worked with far too many of them and at the core, power is what runs things, and they will take that back in time. Without going much farther, that national...

I'd like to throw this out there too using my political strategist hat... First off, watching the legislature capitulate to the governor is a horror show and an exercise in spinelessness. We have a soft moderate style of governance in this state in terms of the governor's office with a strong...

As a political strategist, it's amusing to see Ronnie in action. His shtick is wearing thin, he's causing angst amongst big time Republican donors that he's not (nor will be) ready for prime time, but any of us residents of Florida, we all better buckle up for more ridiculousness right now as...

Right, a vacation is such--- a vacation. The Walt Disney World experience is exhausting. Want to disconnect from electronics and reality? That's not happening as you've got to use your phone for many components today. We've had friends visit from out of town to here in Orlando over the past...

I'm in the camp of having grown up on Classic Epcot in the 80's, but don't see things through rose colored lenses. Besides the awful sight lines of the barges, my personal issue with Harmonious was that the task as hand seemed to be clear and defined by Chapek: Shove Disney music in Epcot and...

Over the top (OTT) is digital delivering of broadcast through the internet... streaming. Just called OTT in the industry.

Trust me, I agree with so much of what you say. How the market works now is truly something. You're absolutely right that it was clearly known that companies were going to hemorrhage cash for quite awhile when it comes to the transition to digital streaming. It's interesting how companies like...
