"Preservation of the original script" is confusing. I love Jean Shepard and the 94 version of the time. But it is not the original. Original message preserved would be better worded and it sounds like we cant count on updates to actual attraction and that we are fine just having people...

Toy Story Land could have had an indoor/outdoor playground to rival the impressive popular backyard themed one. Disney Sea Little Mermaid level.

I think Isle of Berk does all of these things better. It has kinetic energy and entertainment too.

It has happened(happens) a lot. Damage typically is minimal because lighting has direct and indirect bolts. Lighting rods and design help minimize potential damage as best they currently can. As you start looking at taller structures you start to notice lightning rods. Against popular belief...

Filling in the ceiling and taking away the stripes completely from ride vehicles hurt both the experience of The Peoplemover and Space Mountain.

6 I think is more likely than 8. Presuming the ride system once shown is the same partnership.

No. Yes and yes.

Marketing analysis. Results are good for profits but gsat feedback are negligible. They are considered a pinchpoint when it is when it is mobile only, which some leadership at Disney and Universal are starting to realize...slowly. AoV and sales themselves are up, which is most important.

I think what Rolly Crump said holds most true. Disneyland(parks) have lost their handmade touch and attitudes. In a sense it is very formulaic and safe. That feeling even at the MK is leaving rapidly.

Beneficial to operations, throughput and number of sales.(someone hungry in the oark can now submit an order before changing their mind to eat off property or just waiting to eat later) No real gsats showing too positive. Indifferent there. So more self serving. But it is great marketing...

No they are not eating virtually. They are committing to sale. The five min walk to wait(and often more) is very different than the current seating space or having to have more checkout. Throughout can change. It earns more sales. It makes Disney more money, otherwise, it would not exist.

Disney, a company, wants as many ways to take the money as people are willing to commit to, and will provide multiple ways utilizing tech so they dont have to walk into the doors of a venue to spend their money.

Their willingness to buy is not the same as fitting. Commitment of sale is not dependent on just physical space. Not mutually exclusive. Mobile ordering purchased gets another way to make the sale for those not physically there and those who like to order via that medium. I personally dont like...

Because guest spending and attendance are not mutually exclusive. You want people there spending more. So you make it so you make more avalible to ones there rather than harder to get. There is less care than how long it takes you to get what you paid for, than offering and making it easier to...

Theoretically many do. But many in actuality do not. You keep crunching numbers that do not exist and land does not correlate. If they did, theme parks would just constantly build the same ride systems, sacrifice experience or variety and it would be a bummer. Frontierland is about to become...
