    News Disney Considered Building Hotels Inside Magic Kingdom, Court Records Reveal

    Have these been digitized? I'd love to print them out for myself and frame them

    News Disney Considered Building Hotels Inside Magic Kingdom, Court Records Reveal

    Eh, not sure that quote is exactly saying "inside" the Magic Kingdom. It could easily mean nearby.

    Disney making $1 billion investment in OpenAI, will allow characters on Sora AI video generator

    Can we stop acting like all uses of AI are universal across platforms and corporations? Like much in life, some are good, some are bad and some are in the middle. Some are public facing, some are not. I like how @HauntedPirate used AI to create his list :D

    News Disney Springs Bus Service to Resorts Now Requires Reservation Verification

    I don't see what the big deal is. There is a finite number of buses and the resort is at peak occupancy. Onsite guests are first and this isn't even universal, it's just at one bus stop.

    DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    Slightly zoomed out view: I'm including a lot of area that would probably never be touched and I'm also ignoring any emergency/utility/CM access routes, but this whole area could potentially be used for additional park space over the years if they ever want to expand this park even more. I'm...

    Is everything just IP mandate quota now?

    Sure, but Tower of Terror or Expedition Everest is no more or less inspiration worthy than the new Indiana Jones ride being built or MMRR.

    Disney making $1 billion investment in OpenAI, will allow characters on Sora AI video generator

    Sure, but medical advice should only come from a doctor. That goes for asking ChatGBT, Google, or your crazy aunt with the crystals.

    Is everything just IP mandate quota now?

    I'm not sure what your point is, "Kids can be inspired by anything?". That's not directly related to IP or not. You could have the worst attraction in the world with the most hated IP in the world and a kid could get inspired by how the ride vehicle stays on the track and becomes and engineer.

    Is everything just IP mandate quota now?

    I just don't understand what people expect. That WDI makes another ride based off of popular tropes like a haunted house or pirate adventure that becomes popular over time? I really don't understand what the difference between a ride based off a IP made by Disney Studios vs. an IP made by...

    Is everything just IP mandate quota now?

    Kids would like anything that's fun. IP or otherwise. If a kid gets to also experience that attraction while also living in the world of one of their favorite stories? That's even better. Every year Disney has more and more IP to chose from because they keep making more content. I'm a big Star...

    Is everything just IP mandate quota now?

    What is the difference between a ride with an original IP by WDI and a ride with an original IP by Disney Studios?

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Just throwing out some numbers here. $1,800 in 2016 is worth $2,440.00 today. Using the second week of June this year (for lack of a better date), a 7 day hopper ticket is $849.36 or $2,548.08 for three people. Not that much of a difference. Obviously time of year matters a lot.

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

    Disney's quality and image rot? This on the heals of Zootopia 2 becoming their highest grossing animated film of all time and 9th highest grossing film of all time?
