    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I think originally Desantis wanted the political fight and thought it played well for him, but that narrative is shifting. Now, he needs an off-ramp, whether he realizes or not. Perhaps a $17B victory for the State could help?

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Disney is very much a CA company and it's not like Disney can just up and leave Florida. Most companies could relocate. Disney can pull back on Lake Nona, but they are kinda stuck - Disney World is not going somewhere else. And as we all know too well, it's not like they've been investing...

    MagicBand+ coming to Disney Cruise Line?

    Thanks. I suspect you are correct. Seems like the most obvious question to me to be included in the FAQ...

    MagicBand+ coming to Disney Cruise Line?

    So, will a regular MagicBand work? I'm not seeing that in the FAQs. Seems odd that the + elements would be needed, but everything I see says +.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    The bolded is where I disagree. MK needs added capacity. People are going to keep coming to MK and Disney needs to stop playing their artificial shell game to try to shuffle them around but instead add attraction capacity. BUT, it doesn't need to be expensive E-ticket draws. It needs to be...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    First, let me say, I fully agree with almost everything you have said. Now, let me also say, IP wouldn't matter as much if the attractions are well built. But, Disney is failing pretty hard there, too, recently. Disney is often using IP as a crutch to try to draw people to mediocre...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Magic Kingdom needs added capacity. Badly. This would best be served with 3-4 more C/D tickets in my opinion. These don't need to cost a fortune... Some relatively simple dark rides with relatively simple facades would do wonders. Magic Kingdom's capacity has not increased in 30 years...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    This is just for AP, right? DVC uses the other queue?

    Disney’s Q1 FY23 Earnings Results Webcast - Wednesday, Feb 8, 2023

    We're going to lay off 7000 people. We're going to bring back the dividend. I'm pretty hard core capitalism, but oof. Wall Street will be pleased....

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    Disney's newest marketing, buy genie+ for lightning lane or we make you walk slowly through a convoluted and improbable backstory.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Yes, but we just came out of a time of plenty and Disney milked the park cows for everything it could to spend the money on Disney+. Looks like we are now headed into a lean/uncertain time, so when exactly do you think this pendulum is going to swing back?

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Disney hasn't solved its creativity brain drain by purchasing Netflix IP, yet at least. Tron hot dog seems a no brainer, though.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    It cost them their soul. (A bit too melodramatic? Seems about right to me)

    News Disney After Hours return January 2023

    All March dates should include 1 ride on tron. Then it will sell out.

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    In WDW you'll probably pay the extra $5 p/p for the bike seat ILL.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Yes, and therein is the problem. Bob went all-in at the expense of everything else. Use the parks to fund the losses and take a bath on a rotten deal to buy more catalog material and subscribers, the purchase of which, besides saddling the company with a mountain of debt has turned the parent...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    Seems all this could be solved with a phased closing on the busiest days, if guest experience was truly his concern....
