As a die hard Star Wars fan- of all eras- I just can’t justify the price point. I really wonder if they will launch (pun) at these price points then revamp them a year or two down the road. I knew this would be expensive- but I didn’t realize that it would be 5600$ expensive. That is a lot to...

Poppins is most definitely an underutilized IP across ALL Disney parks. I often wonder if the ghost of P.L. Travers has played a part in that through her estate handling approvals of certain aspects of story and whatnot. I seem to recall there was a fracas regarding the British Broadway musical...

While I respect that, and I get that not everyone is there for the thrill rides alone- and that he has diverse content up (ie more than just amusement parks), I thought it was a bit much to do the dark ride twice at KI. But it is noted that he’s not big in the thrill rides.

I’m not here to defend or condone park vlogging as I have mixed emotions about a lot of it. I’ve followed the Trackers for years and it’s been fun “growing up” with them. However it irks me that the veneer of “normal promotion” and “paid promotion” is so thin and lazy. My oldest son is autistic...

To everyone poo-pooing those of us who use this as a “talking point,” or a fun fact, or even a benchmark to measure the park by…. Chill my dudes. I’ve been away from the forum for almost a year and this was the first thread I came to check, just because I enjoy the speculation and talk and the...

Wasn't there a shake up regarding one of the lead data scientists for the State of FLorida and these particular numbers, or am I not reading the thread correctly....?

As an early PC point and click enthusiast, I find this to be intriguing.,... Books with lost messages of Walt in video form... Sherman brothers piano powered rocket.... Goofy underground railroad to get back to the mainland.... This could work....

Theres also no way that wearing shoes can be "mandated" but you can be refused entry to a place of business if they require you to wear them. Same goes here. Trust me, that's liability that Disney doesn't want.

They are going to do whatever is required to properly operate the park and get some revenue safely and efficiently, and with the least liability on their part. What form that takes is still vague at best. I don't see any of the parks opening until at least August, and even then dining will be...

The only thing that seems to be "out of forecast" for the park's futures is the problem the corona virus is causing. That'll impact the world economy past the Asian park's problems. Travel bans being a primary issue. But otherwise:

Williams made an appearance with the Louisville Symphony ORchestra about two years ago- I found out about it on the night of the performance and was literally trying to scalp a ticket out front. I'd kill to see him conduct once. That having been said, it would be interesting to see if the...

Regardless of the impact to the company as whole, I have to wonder what political machinations went into the decision to close the parks. How much was the state involved, how much pressure did it take to get Disney to close, and is this in response to the poor actions the Chinese state...

The legend lives on.....

I have very few celebrity heroes that I look up to. This man is one of them and deserves ALL the accolades.

It IS a masterclass. Apparently, Robert Shaw attempted to get into the spirit of the scene by drinking heavily before the first day of shooting it. He got so drunk, that he didn't remember doing the scene at all. Apparently, depserate to make it up to Spielberg, he apologized for his conduct and...
