    News Walt Disney World Holidays 2025

    The question I continue to have, and no one ever seems to give a great answer to, is how do you fix the pricing problem without upsetting shareholders? We can say slash prices across the board, but that’s not a realistic path forward. Is DVC overpriced? Absolutely. Is it still selling well...

    MK Cinderella Castle Set to Return to Classic Color Scheme

    I hope they get great feedback on how they do the painting where the cranes are down by noon each day so that they say “We can install Dreamlights the same way.”

    News Walt Disney World Holidays 2025

    Most people I see who really despise the parties are those who became accustomed to $80-$100 tickets and detest the idea that the prices have doubled. And fair point to them, it is frustrating for the same experience to see a significant price increase in a short period without any meaningful...

    Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend

    Question for yall because I don’t remember. I’m watching telegram trying to get a signup for my wife for Dumbo. Do I need to register on her account or am I able to register for her on my own account? And is it possible to not link it to her account until Christmas?

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I'm aware, but it was still extended downtime. It also means that they shouldn't have to do that work during this retheme. I'm simply saying that it makes the most operational sense for them to close the pre-show and work on it while the rest of the ride is operational and providing capacity to...

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    RnRC has had extended downtime the past few years. I totally understand WDI deciding that the longest transformation will be that pre-show area, so they shut it down early to begin working on it so that HS doesn't drop even more capacity for six to eight months. Realistically, the launch area...

    News Bluey To Join Disney Experiences at its U.S. Theme Parks and Cruise Line Beginning in 2025

    For a family with young kids? They'll hang out at Conservation Station for 15-20 minutes, plus the ride there and back, plus the petting zoo. A lot of people don't even go to Planet Watch, this will get them out there. I think those families could find an hour of their day eaten up going out there.

    News Bluey To Join Disney Experiences at its U.S. Theme Parks and Cruise Line Beginning in 2025

    My guess is it'll move at one point, they're just trying to give families a bigger reason to visit AK (and spread the crowds out who are there) while construction is happening.

    News D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event 2026 in Anaheim

    I know we’re supposed to not be big fans over here, but it seems like the site that shall not be named is hosting their own vendor event alongside D23.

    News Disney Unveils Advanced Self-Walking Olaf Built with AI and Reinforcement Learning

    It does seem like technology similar to this always disappears and is never heard from again. It’s really strange they would invest so much in these creations to put them in the closet after a few months (in some cases, one appearance!).

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    While true, I don’t think you tease the new ending in blog posts if there wasn’t intent to have it when this project began.

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Perhaps that's true, but you'd think many of those costs were known going into the refurbishment.

    News Disney CFO Hugh Johnston Says Dynamic Pricing Is Coming to the Parks

    Not trying to be rude, just trying to understand. You felt like a sucker because you chose to buy food and merch? I don’t see how that nickel and diming anyone.

    News Disney CFO Hugh Johnston Says Dynamic Pricing Is Coming to the Parks

    Okay, so clarify if I'm misunderstanding. Our current date-based pricing is kinda dynamic, as it is different depending on the day. In a new dynamic model, we're not talking about date-based so much as minute-based. Such as when I buy eight airline tickets at $52 each and go in to purchase...
