Don't think there's much to debate with regards to sitcoms or late night. Both had their peak in popularity from the 60s-00s and started declining after that. Both are practically dead formats in 2026. There may be some stragglers here and there, but they don't have anywhere near the popularity...

Something like DVC is a huge investment that people aren't going to be so quick to sell; especially if you're a 20 or 30 year member. Some people also have family members that are partial holders of the timeshare (via parents). So it gets complicated. To be a DVC member, you have to love Disney...

Sure, but some people (like my wife) have an attachment to such things. I can't even convince her to skip a year, selling the timeshare would be like ripping her heart out.

I tend to think Disney is approaching this all as cyclical due to economic pressures. So they figure if they continue with BAU approach, people will start crowding back in when the economy goes back on the upswing.

For years, I've noticed that the wait time is usually 15-20 minutes shorter than the posted time. If it's ever longer, it's probably due to the ride having problems. They likely do it to 1) Deter people from stacking up a ride that has seemingly shorter wait times or because people may...

Those of us locked into DVC either need to go every year, have to pawn our points onto someone else (Disney still gets money), or sell the timeshare. Otherwise, you can just go and stay on site and never go to the parks and just treat it as any other vacation resort. I originally had said that...

Remember when Iger came back and said the parks were too expensive? What a crock of junk. In the mid-00s I recall spending $500 on a 10 day pass with park hopper, water parks, no expiration, and FAST PASS. I'd use it over the course of two trips. Split in half, it'd be $250 per trip on park...

AOS is overpriced and tried to capitalize on the move of many over the past 15 years or so to return to traditional (less expensive) shaving methods (double edge or straight edge). There are so many cheaper options online and a store is kind of pointless. Also, these days it's more acceptable to...

We went last November for the first time since COVID. I think the only meals that we felt were worthwhile that were Disney owned were Sebastian's (probably our best meal overall), Whispering Canyon (it's honestly pretty average BBQ, but atmosphere and all you can eat made it worthwhile), and...

And speaking of food, the quality of food certainly feels that way at the vast majority of restaurants.

All depends. Disney is assuming that long distance travelers are staying on site and consuming all that is Disney. We know that's not necessarily true. People can stay offsite, dine offsite, shop offsite, go to Universal and other parks, etc. Locals who are close enough to make a day trip pose a...

Makes sense if they truly want to gauge and restrict crowds on those days. Most of all I'm still waiting on them allowing 14 days to use all tickets again rather than this nonsensical tiered approach based on how many days you buy. Anyone who takes long trips via DVC (for example) is forced to...

All they had to do was take the best aspects of the extended universe and make movies from it. I've never read the stuff, but I've read snippets about the storylines and they seem compelling enough. At least they would have had a blueprint of where to take the stories and some source material to...

I mean if I was 63 and just walked away from my job with tens of millions of dollars, I'd probably just retire and never work another day... And seeing how no one has heard from him, he probably took the same route.

It wouldn't surprise me if this were Epcot we were talking about.
