    MK The Hall of Presidents closing for refurbishment on January 20, 2025 [Reopened June 29, 2025]

    Regardless of political affiliation, the audience has gotten sufficiently immature that they can't just take the theme park attraction for what it is. It's to the point where I don't want to take my kids to this show anymore because it's just not a pleasant experience. And that's why I think...

    News Disney’s Q2 FY25 Earnings Results Webcast

    @lentesta has mentioned that there's been a change in LL allocation recently - I wonder if that's having a perception effect because it's improving standby wait times...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Rumors are not promises. Stitch, 7DMT, Brazil, etc, none of those were ever promised by Disney. There are a lot of ideas and lots of rumors of things that they think about or even make plans for that never happen. Going back to the late 90s / early 2000s, project Gemini, Beastly Kingdom, etc...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    The federal case was not predicated on FL free speech law, it was based around 1st amendment jurisprudence and the US Constitution contract clause. The state case was based around state law but not speech state law.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    My gut says that beginning in 2027 there will be legislation that slowly picks away at CFTOD and gradually returns control to Disney. It won't happen all at once - but I bet it will happen.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    100% this. I love the new theme but it is *everywhere*. One of the things that makes Disney for me is the different thematic music and the seamless transitions. Epcot needs more variety in this area.

    MK Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    I've always liked HoP, and still go when I'm there by myself, but I won't take my kids there. Why? Because every time I've been in the last decade and a half, there has been some buffoon booing, or heckling when the current president (whoever that is and from whatever party) speaks or even...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I just spent a week at Disney... As someone who was excited for the changes to Epcot: I like what they did with East - Connections is, IMO, a *vast* improvement over Electric Umbrella, and Creations is bright and pleasant in a way MouseGear wasn't. The only thing I'd say is these need their...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I tend to think of "Disney Summer" as being from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Give or take a few days.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    There seems to be a deep confusion around the difference between theme and characterization. Taking out the fact that the IP mandate is dumb, and operating within those parameters, I'm going to say something controversial. Almost *any* Disney IP can fit in almost *any* Disney Park. There...
