    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Just readily available information: "Battery electric buses (BEBs) are widely regarded as a safe and sustainable alternative to internal combustion vehicles. However, the lithium-ion batteries that power them present safety risks. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the safety of...

    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    To think that a Star Wars resort following the illustrated architecture could have been (actually could still be) built rather than the waste of money Star Cruiser. WDW has lake shore BUT ugly, eyesore, urban housing project looking structures for DVC exploitation are preferred. What happened...

    The 2026 Winter Olympic Games (Milan, Italy. February 6th, 2026 - February 22nd, 2026)

    Too bad Disney did not capitalize and have someone from marketing get the U.S. hockey teams to say "we are going to Disney World" after their wins and have it on tape. Would have been better than the Super Bowl spot.

    News ESPN Launches Year-Long Super Bowl Campaign Building to 2027 Broadcast

    Only question I see is could Disney take over the development and production of the half time shows?

    Me, Myself and I are simple and down to earth when rooting for a team. USA, USA, USA.

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

    Excellent surveillance photography. Sadly, the urban high-rise look is dominating.

    The 2026 Winter Olympic Games (Milan, Italy. February 6th, 2026 - February 22nd, 2026)

    Correct. A sad outcome to such a comeback. She had posted the third fasted training run the day prior. Clipping the support pole for the course marker was an unfortunate accident not related to prior injuries.

    Excellent video.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    This Bob retiring being replaced by another Bob which was then fired and replaced by the retired Bob (now unretired) pending selection of a replacement for Bob which just keeps dragging on in one long melodrama / reality show / soap opera has gotten stale and old. It's as if a group of bored...

    News Disney Releases Fiscal 2025 Executive Compensation as CEO Bob Iger Totals $45.8 Million

    Hmmmm. Wasn't his compensation package quite a bit more like back in 2018? If compensation is performance based, he has been steadily slacking.

    runDisney Race Season 2026 - 2027

    I was a charter member of club runDisney, full disclosure, I have not renewed my membership. The return does not justify the investment for me. I am happy to register with the masses. As for the wheelchair, push chair, blind and other participants with challenges I say they all should have a...

    runDisney Race Season 2026 - 2027

    So, then there is no integrity at run Disney. A. Every person with a bib at each event has paid for the right to be there. B. Club runDisney members get to register ahead (as in earlier) of non-members assuring them entry. C. All participants upon registering are required to enter...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    The ratings do. Advertisers do. Corporate executives looking at the bottom line do. There are three late night show hosts with ratings in the toilet. At one time there were limited channels and entertainment possibilities late night, that situation changed quite some time ago. If a show...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    What public demand? Just no contract renewal after this extension. Have some time to bring in someone actually entertaining and funny that will actually raise the ratings.

    runDisney Race Season 2026 - 2027

    Do the races need to start at EPCOT? There is a tremendous amount of parking lot space where the now ancient history, NASCAR track, once was for example. There is plenty space for an expanded start area on property. Also, the first 1 - 2 miles of any course can be routed through a wide...
