Why not QS plan which includes a 10 - 20% discount on TS meals. Match the AP discount

Keep the space available for future use. "Land banking" Think of 20K Leagues space

The honor system doesn't always work. Guests who don't drink adult beverages, are vegetarians or are young " adults" don't do well

It wasn't an outright lie. Guests on the internet, and presumably on Disney surveys, said the included tip resulted in poor service. I'm sure those Guests were expecting a large price reduction in the DDP. My memory is Disney was paying servers 15% instead of 18%. The % wasn't applied to the...

My memory is union interpretation of the contract requires automatic tip ( paid by Disney) be based on menu pricing. Dropping the tip avoided negotiations or arbitration. I'm sure complaining guests thought Dropping the tip would lower the cost of DDP. Similar issue with adult beverages. Some...

There was some "truth" to that statement. Server tips were based on the fixed restaurant reimbursement rate not on the menu price of the items ordered. My memory is there was a union issue that had to addressed. Guests claimed servers were being paid for bad service. They wanted to tip based on...

Great point current Google driving time from the Peace Bridge, Niagara Falls is 18 hours

Obviously motors can be replaced. The question (rumor maybe just speculation) is that the motors are no longer a stock item. Can Disney order more? Do they have to be manufactured in quantity 1? Do the existing motors have to be overhauled as an alternative. How many times.

Another reason to bring a power bank for your devices. Catch up with movies

Universal wants to spread guests over 3 parks. Putting Zelda in the Lost Continent instead of EPIC makes sense.

Didn't the Great Movie Ride have an Oz segment?

There is already a Wicked display and gift shop in Universal Studios. Guest interest, measured by gift shop sales, could be a factor. Wicked could work as a show or dark ride. It could even work as a FJ type of ride
