Forget Star Wars. Give me The Matrix or Speed Racer in the Sphere.

Discounts are more generous this year than the same time last year, and that occurred in a Q1 that had lower attendance from the previous year. But go ahead and keep sneering that he’s unnecessarily alarmist.

Here are my thoughts on YT/IG influencers: 1) It is much, much, much cheaper to buy and sell the disposable and ethically untethered influencers than mounting a four-quadrant mass marketing plan. 2) YT/IG is increasingly the platform of choice for many, many people. It only makes sense to lean...

Imagine if you instead put that $23K in an investment vehicle and use what you would otherwise pay in maintenance fees (and then a bit more) to just rent someone else’s DVC for when it best suited you.

Coming off the wild success of this film Disney should release a theatrical hand-drawn animation remake of FF:FS in November 2029.

I don’t know what’s more impressive - that Spielberg was 27 when he finished filming Jaws, or that fifty years later he still is capable of directing astonishing films.

One of the refrains some in the pro-TBA contingent would voice was that this was a good idea because all those old hydraulic AAs were a pain to maintain and keep working properly. So they removed all of them and replaced them with a comparative handful number of AAs which also are a pain to...

@lentesta just mentioned on his podcast surveys querying what sort of resort amenities are worth keeping (including early entry and free resort transportation to the parks). It’s clear they’re not movitated to exceed or surpass guest enjoyment or satisfaction with these surveys, but rather...

This is the same company that overwhelms the already stretched thin amenities at places like the Polynesian or Fort Wilderness. Why would they care about how this affects existing residents?
