I think this place sounds interesting. The premixed drinks, while not optimal for a bar experience, will save some space for the bartenders to work with and of course time mixing the drinks, and time is critical there. I hope that someday when the buzz dies down a little they'll relax the 45...

It's hard for me to see how this will be a successful offering for Disney, but then I also never dreamed monetizing Fastpass would be something Disney would do, much less have success with, so my prognostication skills in this regard are rusty at best.

That's just crazy pricing from MCO to WDW. It's not an option for me anyway, as I'm flying into SFB. But even from SFB, an Uber is about half the cost of this offering from MCO to WDW. More than doubling the cost of the round trip just isn't worth my money merely to have that "Disney feel" the...

I have a great deal of nostalgia for this attraction going back to early childhood, but being honest my nostalgia isn't necessarily tied to enjoying the presentation, etc. It may literally be more tied to the enjoyment of a cool dark experience in the middle of a hot day and possibly napping a...

I've been like Wilford Brimley with my preaching about nostalgia, so this hits home to me. Disney's advertising is like a circular argument with its dependence on nostalgia, but when guests (like me) go and experience little of the pleasing aspects of yesteryear, combined with the seeming nickel...

I can't remember, but is Grover Cleveland mentioned twice in the roll call of presidents in the show, or skipped over between Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley, since his name would have already been mentioned before Harrison? It's a little less awkward in that case because those presidents...

$9 or more for a single beer is more than I consider to be in range for the worst sort of profiteering. Sports venues always seem to charge this, or more for single beers, even in relatively low cost areas in the midwest and south, which is ridiculous and one of the reasons tailgating is so...

It's the new "Disney Quantum Experience". ;)

It would be a surprise to me if it did work, even in the long term, assuming all of it happens the way they laid it out. a) It still seems like they're not in a mode of adding capacity, but replacing attractions already gone or gone as a result of building the new attractions. b) Carsland...

I think there will be challenges to build anything in a place that's been around for over 50 years. But WDW is apparently choosing to raze and build, rather than expand and build, which reflects more of their "replacement" instead of "addition" posture for the past several years, rather than...

I guess we'll know for sure sometime in 2025, if we see the canal drained and dirt being hauled in to the inside of the park. At the very least it'll give me a heads up whether I should plan on ever coming back to WDW or find other places to go.

If it really does happen that WDW guts that iconic area to build a ride, when they have acres and acres of land behind BTMRR to build it, I've personally made my last trip to WDW. They can reroute Floridian Way more easily than it will be to fill in all those acres of canal so painstakingly put...

Bolding mine, but that statement is key. It's one thing to curse in settings where it's not necessarily inappropriate, and especially in private. I personally do it way too much in private and it's something I try to curb, because it's just not helpful and wastes time, in my experience. But...

As someone listening to it, I just think he sounds dumb. I'm not sure that's the effect he was going for. It's like he's trying too hard.

The way to temper WDW expectations in others is to let those who are most excited about it do the grunt work in the planning of such a trip. I used to be the one to plan our trips, but the planning has gotten so ridiculous (now also factoring in how to save every penny) that the thought of it...
