You are correct referencing the theming. The big picture that impacts a brand like Disney long-term, is that it is true, no single item will ruin the average persons trip. Heck, 99% of the time, no single issue will ruin any of our trips either. However, when numerous issues creep in over time...

Partially perhaps, but in the case of our day there a few weeks ago, the Disney network was pure that day; kicking people off the network, dropping connections, unable to load pages via Disney Wifi or wireless providers (it all goes to the same data centers), etc. There were people all over...

SImple.... just like with FastPass, they will reduce the number of riders via the Boarding Groups making it harder to get on. Many (not all, just many) of those unable to get a Boarding Group will buy the Lightning Lane access. Thus, the BG people are happy (assuming it doesn't break down and...

I shudder to think of all the Youtube nerds in one place. Might be something like this....

Unfortunately, if we turn our eyes to the westward, the dry dirt we see is exactly the Journey of Water in the Western US. So I guess, they are sticking with the science/museum approach this last time?

Different times. When we go, it's less than half full with a few of us clapping at the end for the quality & classic attraction, but many just up and leave. While the quality and intent remain the same, the audience has not. I can see the new execs taking issue with the length at which it closes...

Or the more obvious as no permits have been filed could be the same thing that happens both to that piece of land and on here every so many years. They go in to clean up the growth for monorail visibility/safety and other justifications with no construction planned. Remember that they have the...

Already had presidents who didn't make it all 4 years. William Henry Harrison died after 31 days and another (I had to look up) was James Garfield who died after 199 days. That aside, I get what you're saying. I love the quality of HoP, but based on the current way people uptake information and...

I stayed off this thread to let "the dust settle" from barge deployment. After returning and reviewing the latest view of the barges on the lake, there is no debating that this is horrible. The screens look 8'-10' above the water line. Why aren't the screens along the side of the barges and only...

Thanks for the insight. I'm still not a fan of the massive barges nor the LED arrays. I feel like they are simply rolling out the A/V Club TVs for our class to watch a movie. At least when it's projected on water, while the image is less pristine, it creates certain effects that can be used...

Such a horrible way to implement a new show. At MK they attempted to hide the DLP projectors for the castle as well as having the fireworks hidden either on roofs or behind the park. Here they stick it in our face and ruin the view. I've seen videos of them testing the fountains and hate to say...

The Springs is starting to look too much like the Vegas Strip with that addition. Only needs a "Sugar Factory" and a "Denny's", but what do I know? While it is a tourist destination, I prefer the tourist things that are unique to Disney.

So long as they aren't assigning anyone a "Red shirt". You NEVER want to be the guy in the background wearing a red shirt. (Star Trek reference)

If they proceed with relaying the track, it will not happen until the poured concrete walkways for TRON are completed as the train (tunnel structure or not, goes under the walkway. So, they finish the TRON canopy to protect the coaster track. IMHO, protecting the investment I'm sure, is of...

I'm sure money is a huge issue for this fix. We know how that works. I wish they'd just get it over with and install the strobe lights.
