They absolutely need to change the time frame of the appointments to take place far enough in advance to avoid cancelation issues. Though I do think they will issue them based on history but no one should have to wonder if they will or not. As for needing DAS though, I think the bigger question...

Overall, there was nothing all that compelling about the story in Splash, or any theme park ride for that matter. It is just a limiting factor of the nature of rides. They have to be borderline simplistic and digestible in short bursts to accomplish their goals. That doesn't mean stories can't...

I don't know from any first-hand use, but have been told Orlando is much better. Might just be that it is newer so more thought was put in when it was being built vs. Hollywood but assuming the family likes the type of rides Uni offers, it is worth a trip.

Maybe, but the overall ride utilization by DAS users plus their party on the more popular attractions is unsustainable. I trust Len and his numbers and they were also confirmed by people with Disney so no reason to doubt there is a problem. Sure, Disney wants to make more money but that doesn't...

And Six Flags is currently being sued because of it. If that system survives the courts then Disney likely ends up with something similar down the line if/when the new one falls apart.

???? How is that different than what I said? Original thesis was revenue is a direct indication of the number of people that went to see it so a better number to use for measuring box office popularity. Audience reviews help put those numbers in context. Once you start including post box...

Agreed. Hence why profit is a bad way to measure a movies impact and overall popularity.

If we are talking all time, which I assume we are, Frozen and Moana are higher. If we are just talking recently, I wouldn't be shocked to find out Moana is currently on top. I could even see Encanto out performing Frozen short term though I wouldn't expect it to stay that way.

Of course it isn't yet, but we still have people in this thread who regularly say a movie is disliked because it did not make money at the box office for the studio. If we are going to look at how well liked a movie was, profit is meaningless. Revenue and audience reviews are all we have which...

I don't think you understand what an insult is if you thought there were any in that post. Of course it wasn't a flop or equal to Frozen/Moana. We all know that. Hence why the super over the top focus of a bunch of people on only the theatrical run when talking about how well a movie was...

One, you missed the whole point of the post which was making fun of the RIDICULOUS concept that box office profit is somehow the measurement of a movie’s success and popularity. Two your math is wrong according to this thread. Tangled cost 390 million with marketing and made 592. Disney keeps...

I do, still part of the cost. We don't subtract out the original costs on other movies that need massive reshoots or restarts.

According to the logic of this thread, no other means of measuring popularity is known to mankind except the box office results. Specifically the net profit to the studio. So, seeing as how Tangled was a flop at the box office and lost Disney money, we shouldn't have it in any park and anyone...

They may be able to add up to an equal amount but hopefully they don't. If they do it right, they can increase their G+ money while reducing the overall number of people using the LL. That will force more into standby but it will also reduce the standby to LL ratio speeding up standby and...

Sure, that I could see and makes a lot of sense for Disney. Even more so if it went over budget. No reason to not try and claw back a little bit in the box office. I don't even think it was as terrible as most and enjoyed it for what it was. However, in the context of what was presented that...
