Thanks, sorry for all the doom and gloom. I’ve been looking at too much coronavirus coverage.

There ARE competing concepts for this pavilion. The interesting ones are based on Inside Out (yes, it's real) and strangely... Muppets. Yes, the idea of Muppet Labs taking over the pavilion to explore Imagination (and moving Muppet Vision 3D there somehow) has been pitched. In that version, it...

Are you that naive to believe that it's going to stay that way? If so, I have a giant golf ball I'd like to sell you. No, Disney's leadership wants booze in as many places as possible, they just know you have to introduce it slowly and carefully in places like Disneyland and Magic Kingdom...

If Disneyland proper can have a fully themed bar, I don't see why the Magic Kingdom can't. The idea of dry Disney parks is dead.

Here comes a Pirate Bar.

Eh, that isn't the fault of the LED technology. It's just the color temp of the LEDs they are using, and most likely the lack of diffusers. The bigger problem with LEDs is that they are indeed much brighter, and that means you need less of them. Unfortunately, most cities don't have the budgets...

They've always been a bright orange. It just seems more orange because all the other lights were replaced to not be as orange.

The lights haven't been replaced yet except for a select few on the far West side near Floridan Way. As far as that thread and the OP, I think it's a case of "I know something is different, but I came to the wrong conclusion." Everything else changed in terms of lighting in the Magic Kingdom and...

The new poles are not active yet except for a select few on the far side near Floridian Way. And they are white LED and much shorter. I don't believe any new sodium lights have been installed recently. The OP is probably becoming aware of how ridiculously bright that parking lot is compared to...

It also appears there is a new lighting package attached to this project. Say goodbye to the brightest thing in the Orlando sky. (the permanent orange glow that marks Magic Kingdom parking that can be seen as far away as Apopka)

I know for a fact that Disney doesn’t use PAR Tokens currently, and they have little incentive to really use them ever, simply because they are tied to accounts and not people.

Device specific, sure. But nothing to tell the retailer who owns the device. It’s very similar to broadcasting a random Bluetooth ID. No one knows who owns it, but it can be tracked until the person gets a new phone, or, in Apple Pay’s case, until the card is removed and re-added to Apple Pay.

Not with Apple Pay. (And no, I don’t work for Apple)

Unless you use Apple Pay. Which is why you should always use Apple Pay.

They want to even demand. I said nothing about addressing crowding. The goal here is to even out the demand. Imagine every park crowded to the same density at all times every day. That’s the goal. Makes staffing and maintenance easier to predict.

I'm happy to comment on the annual pass holder programs in general. While I can't speak to confirm exactly which passes will go away next year, I can tell you the eventual plan is to kill off most of the annual pass system as we know it. Here's what it might look like in the future: First, the...

I can confirm that Wakanda has been thought of for Epcot and is indeed a top runner for the park after Brazil. I’ve not heard ANYTHING at all about the company trading any rights for it, especially anything regarding Alien.

They didn’t really open is what happened. When you “Grand open” a land usually that means it’s open to all and everything is open. The Grand Opening for Galaxy’s Edge is actually a soft opening in disguise. No main attraction. Attendance being tightly controlled. I’m confident that 200k people...
