    News Josh D’Amaro Named Next CEO of The Walt Disney Company

    Walll Street made insane bank everytime Disney aquired a new media company- the Fox aquisition alone poured billions into shareholder pockets after the bidding war with Comcast, then add ESPN, Hulu, (and George Lucas made a fair bit with his private sale). A quick Google search shows the Dis...

    2025 was an awful year

    Wow, I thought I was a WDW downer... I went on my first trip to WDW since 2018. Didn't pay for any lightning thingies, stayed offstie, and went Thanksgiving week. It was a fun time and lots off new stuff since I hadn't been in 8 years. Might go back again in another 8 years or so.

    New to Disney have a resort question.

    There are tons of Disney themed AirBnB and Vrbos houses/condos that would easily fit your group for a fraction of the cost onsite (even if you wind up paying for parking at the parks).

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    I googled around and I see what you mean with the vests- but still I don't see how this stops a passed out person's head from "flopping" forward and back (chin to chest then smacking back). Think of everything that goes into a newborn/infant car seat to protect the head- they are rear-facing...

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    After listening/watching Crump's press conference it does seemed confirmed that Kevin was thrown violently back and forth like a "ragdoll". You can watch the video to hear a more harrowing description. He also mentions the case of the lady that has now been settled and that she described this...

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    Shoulder vs. Lap bar restraints seems to be the most productive thing we can discuss right now about this incident until more info is released on how/what caused the blunt force trauma. To those thinking that shoulder restraints are "safer" and "protect" the head better than lap- this is simply...

    News Disney World Hits All-Time High Revenue in Q3 2025, Strong Bookings Continue into Q4

    Disney knows they've got a cult dedicated fan base when they take away Magical Express, take away luggage transfer, charge for fastpass, raise ticket and room rates at 4 times the rate of inflation, and charge Ludicrous amounts for party nights/events! Everyone loves paying more and getting...

    News Walt Disney World Holidays 2025

    Dude you should see some of my posts when Fastpass ended and Disney started charging for lightning lanes. I'll pay for a multi thunder crappass when I get a lobotomy and pigs fly in the upside down. I'm going to UNI next year and I'm gonna away so much money there just to stick it to the mouse!

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I'll definately be watching wait times/trends but today (Memorial Day), the top wait time this afternoon at EPIC is 90 min. for Harry Potter - The rest are 45min. or less. This is totally a "Shut-up and take my money" way of operations. I gave up on WDW and haven't been since 2018 beacuse we...

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    Back in the day (early 2000's)when I went to WDW mostly every year, we would take advantage of "Bounceback" coupons- In the 2009 recession I stayed at FQ and the "Bounceback" flyer was placed in our room the night before checkout- it offered 40% off Deluxe rooms Plus free dining if we came back...
