    Rumor Where could a 5th Gate go at Disney World

    Disneyland does a decent job, doubt it'll cause much of an issue. The only true bottleneck that occurs from post-fireworks MK is at the Monorail/Ferry station. Traffic ends up relatively seamless due to that.

    Rumor Where could a 5th Gate go at Disney World

    Back to what the original topic was about, not whether they should build a new gate... I agree with 100% with Tommy, although I'd go one step further and take over the entirety of the existing MK parking lot for the new gate, and put a giant new transportation center where Tommy suggests the...

    Rumor Where could a 5th Gate go at Disney World

    If Tropical Americas doesn't sabotage attendance at the two (what I'd consider money makers of the resort) in Epcot and Magic Kingdom, a 5th gate is possible. I want to stress that I'd rather see a full buildout of the existing parks, but if they're seeing attendance remain strong at their...

    News Chase and Disney Launch New Disney Inspire Visa Card

    I've stayed away from the Disney & Universal cards since all of the benefits included are already featured with my AP... but this one is different enough? As a local it's tempting. Not for discounts, but for the $100 annual credit since I can just use that for my AP (essentially a $100...

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    With the experiences division (excl. consumer products) providing 47% of the company's 2025 operating income, it just makes perfect sense.

    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    I'm excited as we should, hopefully, see most of the "turbocharged" investments continue. No fear of a non-parks CEO slashing budgets.

    The Fate of T. Rex Sue and Fossils in DinoLand U.S.A

    I'd hope some of the fossils are relocated somewhere in Discovery Island to at least keep the idea of extinct creates within the park.

    News Harambe Market Refurbishment Planned Ahead of Restaurantosaurus Closure

    Can Pizzafari be adjusted to accommodate burgers and tenders? Not enough space? It's only open during lunch and is in a far more prominent location than Harambe Market,. I'd like the idea of Harambe Market offering non-traditional fare along with it acting as a test kitchen for future DAK eats.

    News Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coming to Universal Orlando in 2027

    It's already under construction. From my understanding, the visual impacts from New York will be very minimal... hence why they avoided New York in the name or theme.

    Large scale demolition at Lost Continent

    Should expect demo at the start of next year to begin. Mythos is expected to remain open until at least the end of next year (while Finnegan's is under refurb - having both closed simultaneously would not be wise lol). Demo will be relatively quick like Rockit.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Since wait-time data on Thrill-Data has been recorded, this has been the busiest year yet. Unlike previous years with highs and low, every single night has been consistently busy.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    +USH is down +UOR attendance is down (USF and IOA) Singapore is in the middle of a major investment (just opened Minions). And Japan is awaiting Pokemon. HHN was a massive hit this year... so I'm actually surprised to see it that low with a combined new park + HHN event that is exploding at...

    TEA Global Attendance Index is out

    Yes... lucky to visit WDW/UOR on a weekly basis. The reported downturn in theme park attendance is highly exaggerated here and on social media. Let me clear, I don't like a lot of the changes over the years... but the parks are certainly not empty at all. Epcot has proven a major success...

    TEA Global Attendance Index is out

    2025 is still relatively strong.

    TEA Global Attendance Index is out

    Walt Disney World - overall benefited from the Epcot overhaul (whether or not you like the changes) Magic Kingdom +0.7% Tron + the "MK rule" where an increase/addition at another WDW park, increases MK Epcot +1.3% park with the most "improved" and highlighted additions. Disney's Hollywood...
