    News Walt Disney World Heat Safety Tech? Disney Patents System to Help Guests Manage Summer Heat

    Can we patent "wind chill"? It sounds so refreshing, Disney should absolutely be providing us with this! "heat nanny", get with the program man, sheesh.

    News Walt Disney World Heat Safety Tech? Disney Patents System to Help Guests Manage Summer Heat

    I was imaging a system that would cool me down, silly, I am so naive. I hope there's a way to turn the heat nanny off, to opt out. Like so many things we may be unable to say no. I just coined the term "heat nanny", please pass it on. No not hot mama, that's not one of mine. AI probably can't...

    Survivor 50 "In the Hands of the Fans" Discussion Thread

    I think Christian, Ozzy, Rizzo and Cirie will all be voted out as different kinds of threats and/or playing too hard. Of the others I give Jonathan the nod for "focusing on relationships this time", (note his involvement in Dee's demise), however there's a chance he can be seen as a challenge...

    La Poutinerie hosted by Air Canada coming to EPCOT

    This will be a hit with parkgoers, serious comfort food. I have to wonder what the twist is? Whipped cream? Honey barbecue pulled pork? Site doesn't say, yet.

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

    If they were to lay off the maintenance staff and ask AI to soften the PR hit it will all work out perfectly. Won't it? OTOH laying off Iger would save way more money.

    Trip Report Whose Trip Is It Anyway? *LIVE*

    I like to joke that I like any restaurant where "I can park and get a table". The Peoplemover fits my criteria. OMG! Looks like you stumbled into a table at the trendiest most in-demand restaurant in town. Bon appetit.

    Disney to push using AI to empower and accelerate artists

    Wait, I always assumed posters were all bots. That's not true? Is it just the ones who obsess about AI?

    Rumor D23 2026 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    I think hyping is what everyone involved is doing, it's the point! The corp, the fans, and the media in attendance are all looking to create or participate in a little buzz. But yea, the predictable letdown is kind of a funny phenomenon.

    Well, he was modeled after Woody.

    Is everything just IP mandate quota now?

    Ride variety and thematic variety are important to me. I don't want every single ride to be a thrill ride, or for 5 year olds, or scary, or use screens. Unfortunately "not IP" is a kind of variety that has been missing from new additions for 20 years. Complete homogeneity of this sort may be the...

    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    I guess I have a better example, the old Soarin' had less apparent curvature than the new one. The amount of fisheye used when filming combined with the amount used with the new projectors (and their position?) moved the end result in the wrong direction, curvier. I assume the pieces can be...

    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    No sorry, I'm not in the field. The "volume" used for SW series is an example of the math involved. Even though the curved volume surface is a screen rather than a projection, I'm sure it's possible to figure out where elements of a projection will land leaving the exact same situation as the...

    Soarin’ Across America to replace Soarin’ Around the World for Nation’s 250th Birthday

    I'm hoping they can replace the screens with a carefully designed curvature, and place the projectors such that it looks straight to everyone. It's possible. I mean even a flat screen would work, but aligning the perspectives of all viewers and the camera making the film is possible with effort...

    MK Piston Peak and Villains Land Construction Thread

    I don't fit in Florida thematically, it's a shoehorning situation.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I noticed that too. I think it's approximately at the level they want the final grade. That dirt was under the island and has compacted there for a long time so they didn't disturb it. The area around it where the beautiful river used to be will be filled in layer by layer, each layer being...
