    The Mandalorian & Grogu (Lucasfilm - 2026 Theatrical)

    It’s way worse than tens of people screeching incoherently.

    The Mandalorian & Grogu (Lucasfilm - 2026 Theatrical)

    What you’re seeing with this looming disaster of a movie is it’s obviously just a blatant cash grab playing off of a segment of franchise that peaked a couple of years ago. This is the best that they could showcase as their introduction to the movie. Keep that in mind, again this is the best...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Because the majority of guests are not the ones staying at the Deluxes or DVC and buying LL or VIP Tours.

    Upper income families and individuals have the option to travel and go many more places than WDW. The majority of WDW guests don't stay on property or are locals and these groups have been essentially kicked to the curb. Use Las Vegas as a comparison. Similar to Central Florida, Vegas has had...

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Attendance doesn't matter to Disney.

    MK Cool Ship Now Closed for Refurbishment at Magic Kingdom

    I love how the window design is a nod to the impressive piece of architecture that was cut from the Morocco Pavilion a couple of years ago at EPCOT. Oh WDI, you are the gift that keeps on giving.

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    How is it that Dollywood can open Nightflight Expedition, a ride that is infinitely more creative, innovative, and exciting than PP in the same time that Disney takes to drain the former ROA? Rhetorical questions of course. We all know why.

    They ran it in 2024 and Nov/Dec 2024 had lighter crowds than previous years. (Reported here) They started it in 2021 and it evolved with different parks included since then. It was typically offered during the slow weeks immediately pre and post Thanksgiving, and before Christmas.
