    News New Four Seasons Private Residences Coming to Walt Disney World Resort

    There is all of this cooperation between WDW and Four Seasons. Yet for some reason, guests staying at the Four Seasons don't get the same perks that guests staying at Swolphin or Shades of Green receive. It's surprising.

    Orlando Becoming East Coast Headquarters for Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products

    I believe it's that general area. I couldn't put my finger on the exact office location. What's also interesting is that WDI has separate trailers as well, in addition to the office space. Between DHS, Maingate, and Celebration there are a lot of back offices for Disney Corporate and other...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    They really should like cast members and annual passholders purchase this as an add-on to their pass or at a discounted rate. In Disneyland, cast members can purchase Genie plus with a 20% discount.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    This is just a reminder that the ticketing and reservation cast members on the phones or frontline cast in the park are doing their best to help guests. The ticketing and reservation cast don't work with DAS and are not as familiar with it.

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I would advise some caution around the satisfaction surveys when calling in. Those surveys at least at Disney are used to rate the performance of the cast member on the phone and not the overall company. If the cast member gets a bad rating it will negatively affect their job.

    Rumor Higher Speed Rail from MCO to Disney World

    The 417 route would cost less but also is chalk full of things that could slow down the project. Brightline would need to work with FDOT over using the 417 alignment and back in 2021, the HOA representing Hunters Creek had expressed opposition to the alignment...

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

    This is spot on. I would also add even that absent TWDC preceeding with the suit that allows for restoration of the original legislation, this settlement is the most realistic to settle the lawsuit. The only ways that RCID gets restored is via an act of the legislature or restoration from the...
