Epcots 4th of July fireworks tag, called the heartbeat of freedom, has historically been presented only once and only on July 4th. It looks like this year it will be presented once on July 3rd and once on July 4th. So two performances but only once per night. With 9pm closings there is...

I have read plenty about original plans for World showcase of Epcot, largely a shopping and dinning complex with uniform standard look to the exterior of each pavilion entrance. I do not share your optimism that it would have been better than what we currently have. We're going to have to...

I don't know about that. The original World showcase, while having much more than just 9 countries at opening, look like a shopping strip mall. What we ended up with was far better than the original concept. In the past going from Blue sky where there is no budget to what is actually done is...

No they won't. It will come up with something brilliant for sure, but then they'll value engineer it down to something very ordinary. They've gotten so good at doing this, it's such a routine part of every project, they don't even realize they're doing it anymore. The rot is real.

Fingers crossed.

Even without those last boomers... They were just noise makers but I do think The finale of Luminous easily out fire powers finale of Reflections of Earth. ROE had like 12 mortars in its grand finale. I don't even know how many luminous has. Yes. This was unexpected but I'm glad to have it.

And heartbeat of freedom both on July 3rd and 4th? Normally heartbeat of freedom is only on the 4th. Nice guest friendly addition

It's daily now starting today and through at least August 4th. After that I assume it will go to Friday Saturdays and Sundays through Labor Day weekend.

Value engineering at its finest. Or should I say finance. Value engineering at its finance.

I disagree. I do not think it looks genuinely bad. It matches the artist rendering. Truthfully in my opinion the Bahamas do not have a strong identifiable architectural style. I do see where they built really very ordinary buildings and then colored them up and put fancy roofs on them. But...

Now that's a bold statement. Is it more interesting because it's new to you or is it more interesting because it is genuinely better design? It won't be open the entire calendar year of 2025 but would you also predict in 2026 Universal's Epic Universe will be the number one theme park in...

Today was a double win for rise. I didn't notice a whole lot of down time. More importantly..... To my total shock everything was working except for the Star Destroyer's cannons did not recoil (which I think we've settled on that will never happen again). It have been a long time since I've...

IMO Tokyo is the end all be all of Disney Theme Parks as they should be. Ride for ride, show for show TDL knocks it out of the ball park. With one odd exception which may be just me. I'm not a huge fan of the shows at Tokyo DisneySea on the water. They always seem to end up mostly being large...

Have you done Disneyland in California? If not I highly encourage you to do so. I think you'll come away with a similar experience. It's natural thing to think that because it's Walt Disney "WORLD" any other Disney destination is just second fiddle. It's fun to watch people discover how not true...

Oh okay. I should have assumed that. So it's guest friendly that they lowered the amount in order to benefit from that service. That's nice.

What is the shopping service?

Hummmmm. IDK.... Universal, were they not in a place where they could have also been bleeding money too. Maybe they were positioned better financially for the pandemic but nonetheless instead of pulling back on projects they paused and then Hit the gas pedal. I used to think that part of...

I don't think we're as close to intervention yet. I don't think room nights are as low as people online have been staying. Where is the free dining plan? Where is the buy three get four nights free deal? Sure there are 4 day tickets for $99 per day but this is nothing like this deep deep...

You're absolutely right and Magic Kingdom needs a concrete plan to replace it all🙂

The first time I saw the show there was definitely a left shark drone. Just doing its own thing off on the left hand side. It stayed red and the only time it matched anything was when it was part of baymax.
