Basically, the bottom line here is it sounds like DeSantis's camp basically said "drop the suits and let us have our political victory and we'll give you what you want with just our name on it and a commitment to not meddle in the Orlando business."

Without trying to be disagreeable I, just completed a trip that involved visiting both Epcot and MK did not experience any of what is commonly cited here. I’ll acknowledge the changes in directions of attractions over the years - sometimes things are hits and misses but that’s a reality of...

Ok but WOM has been gone since 1996 (when I was 10.) horizons in 1999 (when I was 13.) I am 37 now. This is nothing new - this is why I mention the nostalgia factor. As far as my life Test Track and Mission space have existed longer than what proceeded them. Not denigrating the former...

Sure - but there’s a difference between it being awesome and putting all other parks out of business.

There’s surely going to be competition and there’s of course going to be a surge of interest and a honeymoon period especially when it first opens and it certainly will have an impact on the market down here - I’m not disputing that. But there’s a difference between that and having such a...

EPIC universe will be a big thing for Universal but the idea that it’s going to put Disney out of business is kind of silly I’m sure people were saying the same thing when IoA was built. It’s not and has never been all about thrill rides. If it was then Six Flags would be dominant as its all...

I was at MK today. The weather was a bit of a nuisance but I still got to do everything I wanted to. Never saw any thunder just rain and some wind at times - I got rained on quite a bit when I camped out to wait for Happily Ever After. There was a perfectly timed lull between cells that lasted...

I wonder if a refresh of Harmonious with a new musical soundtrack and sequence for the 100th could have always been the plan since what they’re hinting at doing here seems at least somewhat Harmonious-like. If so what probably changed was the guest (and reportedly internal executive) reaction to...

And the reports I’ve heard have said that Universal is down attendance wise as well - not just Disney parks. It seemed more about theme park attendance being down in general and possible causes (inflation etc.) I’ve been somewhat skeptical as to how much they are down.

Well its kind of been complicated for a while..... pre pandemic it was dining reservations 180 days out, Fast Pass 30 or 60 days out whatever it was. Generally its kind of hard to figure that all out so far in advance. Though I certainly would prefer they didnt make advanced ride selections...

Its subjective. People like what they like and don't like what they don't. I think unfortunately Disney delving into controversial issues also kind of polarized their fanbase. It's a free market - I think the political stuff could hurt Disney in a number of ways for a while though eventually...

I actually liked the show and thought it was pretty cool and I observed a mostly positive response from the crowd the times I saw it and don't regret seeing it during the short time of its existence and I feel bad for the creative efforts that went into it to have something not go well - but I...

Reading some of the back and forth after I posted that I enjoyed my trip - I would share my own point of view that the purpose of my post on this thread (at least for me can't speak for others) certainly wasn't meant to be hostile or snarky towards those who feel the parks have become mediocre...

I took a trip in October and had a great time. I guess it’s all about perspective. I loved the newest addition - Cosmic Rewind. Yes there are differences to what it was years ago but it’s far from bad. Every meal I had on Disney property was A+, all super friendly cast members, and while some...

I definitely noticed some things on my recent visit - however given the state of things in the workforce and the fact that literally every business everywhere is having trouble getting enough staff especially with the skilled crafts I fully expected to see some things. I would say that given all...

I guess I’m lucky I got tears for fears when I rode which was a treat as I love the song.

glad to hear this tour is back. I did it a few years back. I also did Backstage Magic (the one that goes to the central shops) and both were great.

Totally agree with NickMaioI’m not going to opine in the poll. IOA and HS have very different theming and setups to do a comparison like this. I think all the Orlando parks have something to offer and there is room for them all. I’ve always been more a Disney parks person though I certainly have...

Unless they need some of the equipment for the new show such as if they are extensively modifying the barges for the new show but not entirely scrapping all the hardware.

They seem to be pretty flexible with LLs. I hit a LL today over an hour late today and they accepted it. Im sure the busier it is the more stringent is they are about enforcing things - I got the impression that as long as it’s not super busy as long as you get to a LL your time or later they...
