I enjoyed it - but it just needs more. 2-3 more large floats, some tweener floats, and more ground performers. That’s really all and it would be fantastic.

It’s clear they have no desire to go back to the Dreamlights installation. It is capital and labor heavy, causes picture issues for 2-3 months each fall (which in turn reduces the number of pictures they sell I’m sure), and they’ve had plenty of opportunities to bring them back. They aren’t...

No because that costs money.

Regardless this is a welcome change back to a mistake that has been long-overdue for a correction.

This has the potential to be great or absolutely disastrous.

It's very simple - short term gains mean short term profits and increased compensation in performance bonuses. Executives are no longer concerned with long-term stability - they are concerned with exceeding quarterly profit margin goals so that they can get x% over their base bonus compensation...

This attitude is baffling to me by MK Ops. This was literally a golden goose handed to them by senior executive management to not only increase attendance but revenue in the evenings as well and they were like "let's do this in the absolutely cheapest way possible and drag our feet about it the...

I never thought about this until now but it makes perfect sense. Why pay for a character meal when you an LL most of those options. Now? Do both or stand in line.

They should just bring back Hallowishes and call it a day.

How hard will the Italy booth let us down this year? Prepare to find out on the next episode of Food and Wine disappointments!

People keep saying this is an awful deal. I think you have to take traditional ride-share out of this as it's not the same (it's a private pre-booked transfer that takes you directly to your hotel). The cost is not that much different and the difference is you get a Disney CM which frankly...

The book talks about how Ron really suffered from imposter syndrome and how everyone knew he got the job because he was Walt’s son-in-law. Walt basically told him he should come work for him after watching him take a massive hit during a football game. He was also NOT a people person and let...

Don’t talk about Ron Miller like that. He tried but was too worried about making his Black Cauldron ride. In all seriousness Storming the Magic Kingdom was an awesome read about how Ron Miller had no business taking over from Roy and the split between the Walt/Roy side of the family and how...

He retired and then by all credible accounts from very legitimate stories in both the Hollywood Reporter and the WSJ engineered his successor’s removal from the company by going around Hollywood and saying how bad of a job he was doing and how he should have never picked him to succeed into the...
