    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure to transition to 2D with brief refurbishment in November 2025

    I'm certain that you disagree with the opinions of this YouTube channel and their financial analyses. Fair enough. I asked Gemini A.I. this: Prompt: "Looking at Disney's latest 1k SEC filing, is Disney's movie making division considered profitable on it's own? Response: "According to...

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure to transition to 2D with brief refurbishment in November 2025

    Disney's movie-making is NOT profitable. Disney's own SEC 1k filings show this. These are their own reported numbers. The problem get's even worse when you account for how one Disney division charges another Disney division to "try" to balance it's numbers and "cover" it's losses. This is Disney...

    EPCOT Remy's Ratatouille Adventure to transition to 2D with brief refurbishment in November 2025

    I agree completely, Disney needs to be prudent and controll it's daily parks operational costs. Keeping financial expendatures as low as possible helps keep the parks healthy and keeps profit and loss numbers where Burbank needs them to be. Many people don't realize how heavily Burbank relies...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Been to Epic Universe 3 times now in the past month and have been utterly blown away. Universal is HUNGRY as hell. One thing has become 100% crystal clear to me now: Disney simply "EXPECTS" our love....Universal is working extremely hard to "EARN" our love. One is lazy and coasting on the...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    It's my suspicion that modern Burbank does not love Disneyland's Rivers of America any more than they love Orlando's. I'd guess these people would LOVE to tear that out too if they could. However, "Fantasmic!" Is blocking that dream from happening.....for now. "Let the past die. Kill it if you...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    This discussion brings up a huge question: What "attractions" and/or "operational expenses" actually contribute to the financial success of the Magic Kingdom in 2025? What "attractions" and/or "operational expenses" are "NOT" contributing to the Magic Kingdom's financial success? We know that...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The Magic Kingdom is THE most visited theme park in the world. It's time-tested and well-proven for generations. From a revenue point of view it is THE absolute strongest park on planet Earth. It's NOT broken and only needs excellent daily maintenance to stay #1. It is the Disney park that will...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I think it's imperative that whatever Disney builds for this land/attraction, every single element MUST have a very low daily maintenance cost. They need to keep water pump usage to a bare minimum. Anything that moves needs to be extremely simple with limited motion. Anything mechanical must...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    If Glendale can assign this project to the team that built Epcot's "World Celebration" and "Dreamers Point" and Moana's Water attraction or maybe even the "Tiana's Bayou Mountain" team?...we should be in great shape. The "Avenger's Campus" team is another one of Imagineering's very best. Yep, I...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Burbank could have built this thing ANYwhere but they were Hell-bent on destroying THIS,...actual,...specific...historic spot. Burbank's weird, creepy, current social justice activist crusade is what bothers me the most.

    DHS New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

    I literally gave you the answer to your question in what I said. Did you read it? Again,...no, It's not for me. What I'm looking for is anybody here that "IS" interested in going to the park "specifically" to see this show. We always call these shows and rides, "attractions". Why? because...

    DHS New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

    Is this an attraction that you only go to see if you are already at the park? Or, is this an attraction that you want to experience and "specifically" make the trip there to do it? Example: When the new Test Track opens, I suspect I will travel to Orlando and buy a one-day Epcot ticket...

    DHS New Villains Show Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Summer 2025

    I know this is a horrible thought in 2025 and I'm not supposed to think or say this out loud but: I miss not seeing Dr. Facelier in this show. He is one of my favorite Disney villains and I think that not having him there is a shame. Sorry to Burbank's "Stories Matter" team. I know what I'm...

    News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

    "Unlikely"??.....OK that's possible. "Outrageous"??...no, this is Hollywood politics. Far,....FAR stranger things have happened in this company and in this town than little stuff like this. "Unreasonable hate"....Holy smoke dude,....it ain't THAT damn bad. Take a deep breath, buddy...

    News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

    So are you are saying that you have "factual" knowledge that these reports are 100% wrong? If so, I would love to know what it is that you know. Or,...do you just not believe it because it sounds too bad to be true,...and that is good enough for you? Is is possible? Yes,...absolutely. it's...
