To this day, I will never understand the current trend of sandwiching an original fireworks song around a medley of IP tracks - it's lazy AF. It started with Happily Ever After and hasn't stopped. I finally saw Luminous about a week ago - and while I enjoyed the beginning and end of the show...

Does anyone know how the 7-day advance window is impacted if you are on a split-stay of WDW resorts? Does the 7-day window reset for the second hotel stay?

184 was the peak. Pretty much half. trying to claim Chapek is responsible for this mess, while Iger refused to step away (or give up his shower) is a tap dance. The leadership was the same and you know it.

The current leadership is squarely responsible for deflating TWDC stock by more than half its peak. Any mention that the current leadership is a better option and one should vote for the status quo, is a true head in the sand moment. Wow…just wow.

As opposed to the current regime? 🤡

Yes. To a certain extent. However, during the recent decline, they ignored some of those fan-tested storylines, to adopt commercially failed storylines written under disney leadership - like Ms Marvel. That, combined with terrible execution since End Game, is what caused marvel's brand decline...

Wow. This is actually a brilliantly stated explanation of why Kennedy may still be there. I had been scratching my head at this for a while. Her track-record with Lucasfilm, following the Disney purchase has been abysmal. She's overseen the destruction of every major Lucasfilm franchise (and...

It probably cost alot more than $300M, once you consider reshoots (which rarely get included in the posted budget). They actually had to bring in John Williams to re-record score sections, the reshoots were that significant. Then you add in massive promotion - the real Disney cost of this...

...and Im saying a great deal of Chapek's bad, was really Iger's bad. So while I agree that anything over Chapek, the fact of the matter is that bringing Iger back is very much a doubling down on alot of the things that were ushered in on Chapek's watch. It's just going to be candy coated now.

instant, massive upgrade? You do realize that the vast majority of Chapek's moves over the past 2 years were basically Iger initiatives that were ham-fistedly delivered by Chapek? The only difference between these two is in careful vs painful presentation of bad ideas. Nothing more. Iger...

AFAIK, Disney was looking at rather broad layoffs in the immediate future. While Chapek is largely considered the reason for the company's dire situation (whether appropriately assigned blame or not), layoffs under his watch would not have gone over well. I think everyone in the boardroom knew...

what's that definition of insanity again?

no gunshots? good lord, this company needs to really stop.

Thanks for the clarification, folks! much appreciated!

Hey Gang, I've got a multi-family trip coming up for xmas week and we've all developed a few questions regarding Genie+. I'll be traveling with my family, a second family who's staying on property at a Walt Disney World hotel and a third family who is staying off property (not at a WDW hotel)...
