    EPCOT 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival

    I would love that. Put the merch and food at the north end. Then have the content swap out. Broadway for Arts, Horticulture for F&G, Rotating or a standard Epcot Display for Summer, Disney Culinary for F&W and something Holiday for Holidays. If the space was used more like the Broadway...

    If I had a nickel for all the projects that demonstrate that recently, I could probably put in to sponsor the IMAG redo...

    EPCOT 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival

    How we go from the Broadway install to this is... a choice... I know it's a separate part of the company, but you would think a Disney Horticulture showcase or something would be on the table to someone...

    EPCOT Beverage Kiosk Replaced at Norway Pavilion

    Agreed. While I wish they were adding more relevant things than smaller food kiosks. If they are going to add them (for obvious reasons), I would prefer they be done well. I could stand to have them integrated into the pavilion a bit more than what we've seen. But, the random kiosk has long...

    MK Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    Same thing here. It's such an iconic match. But, I would say the brown is definitely a better match on theme. So, it's a change I'd be willing to get used to.

    News Harambe Market Refurbishment Planned Ahead of Restaurantosaurus Closure

    Thinking more - I don't hate the burger and chicken fingers in concept. I just wish they had more interesting toppings options (much like the Mara does). They could still use the same base and have the "plain" options for less adventurous folks. But, offer some African-inspired versions of...

    News Harambe Market Refurbishment Planned Ahead of Restaurantosaurus Closure

    How very imaginative... Nothing says "luxury target market" like frozen theme park burgers and fries... (And that's a dig on the guests as much as Disney. Glad those who enjoy this enjoy it, but it's disappointing for this location.)

    News Disney Earns Spot on TIME's List of 250 Most Iconic American Companies

    For better or worse, I think it would be hard to dispute otherwise. There are lots of other descriptors which would require much greater debate. But, saying Disney shouldn't be high on the list with words like "recognizable", "iconic", "impactful", etc. would be a tough argument, IMHO.

    News Disney Offers $95 Per Day Florida Resident Ticket Deal for 2 Parks Through April 2026

    EPCOT 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts

    Interesting. Not as excited about these personally - especially the beer selection. But, I appreciate some of the creativity. Holidays was actually pretty decent this year, compared to some recent trends. Details will always depend on how these actually taste and look in the park vs. promo...

    3D-printed prop canoe arriving soon at Jungle Cruise

    Obviously the devil is in the details in application, but I think this has great potential. Especially for things viewed at a distance. If they start trying to 3D print lighting fixtures or architectural things that really need a bit more "heft" to them, we can chat... But, this seems like...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    I believe you mean a magical, sustainable, character activation architecture experience designed to add value and promote connection and family memories for years to come, combining some of the most beloved Disney stories in the spirit of the original River Country that guests loved. Did I miss...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    That's the concern I have. This feels much more akin to Disneyland Paris' hotels with even less theme. I have to wonder if, in 20 years, this will look very dated. These are certainly not timeless designs, let alone iconic architecture. I guess it brings it in line with many other...

    News 40 New Restaurants and Shops Coming to MCO: 4Rivers, Otto's High Dive, and More

    I'm excited to see the locations and renovations. I usually fly Southwest, and that terminal is in the best shape for A and B. It will be great seeing the other 3 A/B terminals (and the main terminal itself) getting some much needed love. The 90s subway look is ready for a refresh! And, as...
