    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Not trying to go too far off-topic here. (I tend to do that often;-) "American Heartland" is yet ANOTHER new Disney-style project that appears (in the Blue Sky stage anyway) to again, capture the Disney-quality "Imagineering" that we have all come to love over the generations. And,...it's being...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I have to say that this entire project is incredibly impressive. Every month, it appears better and better and more stunning. THIS is what you get when Imagineers leave Disney and bring their decades "magic", knowledge and experience to a company that wants to take ACTION.....send money....and...

    Disney has the green light to "build baby build" now. You won't see any significant resistance from CFTOD. Florida want's more tourists and more taxes. "Disney,...do what you gotta do...go COMPETE with Universal now and bring us the jobs and the $$$"

    Well? CFTOD has at least stated that they would "consult" with Disney on whatever new agreements they make. That's sorta, kind of, a little bit OK for Disney. Yes? I'm trying as hard as I can to spin this in Disney's favor as much as I can...but it's REALLY difficult. The settlement was...

    Interesting! I have a feeling that many Disney and RCID (current or past) employees are breathing a sigh of relief this week. Especially people's names that are all over Disney and RCID email communications over the years. I could imaging them saying: "It's not my fault, I was only doing what...

    Additionally,...I read that all of this does NOT stop the State Investigator General from moving forward. It also has no effect on the "third-party" investor organizations suing Disney over the complaints about the public bonds and more. There are other serious cases that could easily involve...

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

    Does anybody here truly believe that DeSantis and the rest of the Legislature are "anti-WDW"? Did anybody ever believe that DeSantis hates WDW as a large tourist destination, taxpayer and large Florida employer? No,...he always valued the positive "potential" of WDW to the economy of the...

    What do you (or anyone) make of DeSantis pointing his finger at "Burbank" specifically on this. He seems to suggest that Disney "Orlando" wasn't a problem for him but "Burbank" specifically was. I thought it was odd that he tried to "separate" Disney "Burbank" from Disney "Orlando". Is it...

    I respectfully disagree completely. Disney COULD have built 4 theme parts, a ton of hotels, and a shopping district WITHOUT "RCID" as it was chartered. Any "common" special taxing district that Florida has today would have been fine! CFTOD today would have been fine! Disney deals with STRICT...

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

    I think the reason why RCID collapsed so easily is that the way this darn thing was chartered from the beginning was SEVERELY flawed. RCID was given things and setup in a way that NO other special taxing district has ever been set up before or afterward. RCID was a freak of nature (or a freak...

    It's my hope that Florida's Investigator General continues diving deeper into RCID's and Disney's financials, email databases, tax records, and issued bond dealings. It's time that the state get to the bottom of everything under the "sunshine" law and FINALLY prove that Disney never did...

    Wait,...didn't we all agree that Disney had the legal and moral high ground on this and that Disney's business was in NO danger from ANY of this? Did we not clearly establish over the past two years that Disney's logo was essentially bulletproof and that any "small" amount Disney brand damage...

    So half us here KNEW this day would come and we KNEW it would end like this.

    Yes,...I mean, this woman's writing is a VERY revealing window into her psyche. She is dumping Freudian slips all OVER her writing. I fear that "this" stuff is now VERY common in the company today. They are TEACHING each other to "think" and talk like this all over the place inside the company...

    WDI President Barbara Bouza is Resigning

    Hubris (and narcissism) is exactly what I see too. I mean, wow,...this person certainly seems to think VERY highly of herself and her accomplishments. Does she think that "humanity" and the rest of the world LOVES her work that much,...or even at all? Wow,....I wonder why she was fired.

    I'm maybe judging this Imagineer. But I don't judge any "fan" that thinks her work WAS that impactful on humanity. If any fan's life was positively impacted by her work?...that's great. No judging any fan love from me.

    Rivers of Light - Time for a reevaluation?

    I agree with just about everything you said here. What I loved about this show was that it didn't rely on any movie properties and it was it's own story. It was intelligent and artistic and required people to "watch" and "look" and "think"as the story unfolded. I really miss this show and I...
