One thing I wish that they'd do, which they won't, would be to cross the Express and Epcot tracks just after the TTC. If they did that it'd make a lot more sense: Board at MK, get to TTC. If not getting off at TTC, then head for Epcot, which is likely what you'd be doing at that point. Epcot...

I heard that they were going to store wigs there.

Re: Twitter (and other social media) The problem here is that the government (fed) has let them skate by without forcing them to define themselves. Are they a carrier or are they an editorial. A carrier is responsible for the communications method, not it's content. It's why you could call up...

The Mario movie of this year was, IMO, just an OK movie. There were some bright spots in it and a bunch of references to all things Nintendo but, on the whole, it was an "off the shelf" movie. I don't mind that I saw it but I'll probably never think, "I want to watch that Mario movie again.."...

Coke is not as popular as it once was. I believe their main drink now is: water. People have steered away from the colas because of the health aspects of it and people becoming fat. I think a lot of this has more to do with the sedentary lifestyle as kids used to drink Coke/Pepsi all the time...

I could bring up Betty Boop and I bet everyone reading this would know who she is (of course, there's always one... :) ). I don't think you'd get any argument that she's relevant today. You're right about all of the TV regulations and the idiot stuff we had during the late 1970s and 1980s where...

I think it's arguable now that Mario is more relevant than Mickey or Bugs Bunny. Essentially, Disney and Warner Bros, stopped investing in their character line and now it's largely a lot of "has been" stuff. Yes, you being Disney fans may love good ole' Mickey Mouse. Others may recognize him...

There's also "I can do anything without any training at all because I'm a woman"-Rey. In the last movie I watched (VIII) the Admiral (I don't remember her title) was quite belligerent and treated Finn and the other guy like dogs because they were men. It's the whole "The Force is Female" bit...

I think one of the problems may have been that it was simply not viable. There's a point to where making it actually work, and work well, would take more than they could possibly charge for people staying and that's where it falls apart.

First, you have to give Disney some credit for trying something outside the box. ... The vin-diagram (above) is the problem. I also think "employing people to play parts" is a problem for Disney (now). They simply don't want to pay for people to roam the streets and entertain the guests...

I'd argue that the 100 year old locomotives are better maintained than the Monorail trains. Kind of like how I could probably find a guy with a Model T that is well maintained and find someone with a 2021 Toyota Camry which hasn't had an oil change because "it still runs.."

The door flying open was one of many incidents. Parts coming off was another. The Monorail being unreliable to the point where people stopped using it for things like dining reservations 5-10 years back is another. They used to proudly state their 99.9% uptime. They haven't stated that in...

Just to clarify: I don't want them to get rid of the Monorail. I want them to make it how it once was (99.9% uptime). That being said: What do you think happens now when the Monorail goes down? They run more ferries and bus people up. They can absolutely get rid of it. If they were completely...

You can't see that on a spreadsheet. What they see is: - Monorail costs money What they don't see is: - Monorail making money (directly - through sales of tickets for the monorail) I think that they will do the minimum, for now, to keep the monorails running to keep Disney fans (folks here)...

Yes, you do - just to set things back to normal. People can make a Winnie the Pooh horror story - so what? Who's REALLY interested in this (I didn't hear that it was a huge block buster). At best it becomes a campy B-movie people watch and make fun of. The same thing happened with the Muppets...
