Harmonious was an amazing show and will be dearly missed by my kids. But, at least the barges are going away. I'm not sure the trade off was worth it.

Just got confirmation from a friend in the park right now that part of the past 4 years was spent upgrading the speed on the train. It now cruises through MK at a top speed of 45 miles per hour. He sent me the below video: /S

Hats off to you, as you seem to know your stuff. Most people don't even know what FAANG is. Good points and I agree that Disney is lumped in with this. Inflation, political polarization, increased prices from Disney across the board with perks being taken away is going to drive attendance down...

Pent up COVID demand. Watch attendance fall over the next 12 months...

Let's do something classy for the 100th. Marketing and product team: Okay, let's just dump silver stuff all over everything. What low effort junk.

Guess you got lucky. We were with 2 other families, every group has issues with CM's. There are always standouts though and we had some great interactions as well. But compared to previous trips? Nowhere near as good. I talked with a manager at Riviera about it. He just nodded and said the...

Cast member morale during our October trip was AWFUL. I saw a cast member yell at a guest because she was taking you much time looking through her stroller in one of the firework keep-clear walkways. I saw one of the cast members working at the skyliner transition station arguing with a guest...

Then Bob Chapek must be some kind (person who kills things they love) - since the filter on here won't let me use the proper word for some reason...

What makes you think there won't be? Probably will give us our best indication of upcoming changes, good or bad.

What's with the massive amount of "news" articles I'm seeing about Iger selling Disney to Apple? Talk about killing the soul of Disney...

No, this will not be cancelled. What could happen, if anything, is a delay. Then another delay. Then in 4-6 years people will barely remember this was being done in the first place. Not saying I think that will happen, but if they decide not to do this that is likely HOW it will happen so as...

Black panther made 100 million in China in 2018 at the peak of the MCUs popularity. It wouldn't have helped Wakanda much. That's simply because people love Spiderman regardless of what's happening in the broader MCU. And Dr Strange multiverse might end up being the high bar for this entire MCU...

Wakanda Forever fell off a cliff on it's second weekend with a 64% drop. These larger than usual 2nd weekend drops are new for the MCU. Wakanda won't make anywhere close to what Black Panther made. Production costs are up, box office numbers are down. These are facts. For example, Thor Ragnarok...

The parks generate more revenue than any other division so it's logical to assume the parks will be a focus for Iger...

The MCU is dying. Compare box office numbers to 6 years ago. Costs to bake the movies is way up, revenue is way down. They've lost the script, there is no coherent big storyline tying anything together. They own the Fantastic 4 and Xmen and have done next to nothing with them so this situation...

Unless the board viewed, rightfully so, that Chapek was killing their golden goose... Boards mostly exist to think mid to long term for the company. It's very clear from the official statements that they saw the direction Chapek was heading and knew that it was not good for the parks or their...

What are you trying to book and when? 5-7 months out is wide open. It's also likely due to different use years that there's going to be overflow of DVC park goers into the first half of next year. At some point though, that dries up. From what I'm seeing DVC availability around next spring...

Disney are the only ones who know how much of the past 12 months of crowds were DVC members using banked points before they expire. Covid hits 2020, thousands of DVC members do the logical thing and bank points, cancel trips. Based on timing, and info in an excellent article on a different site...

They want Iger to guide them through the incredibly big effect Epic Universe is going to have on the industry in Florida. Iger helped through Harry Potter. Also 2 years is how long they signed him to come back for, in 2 years Epic Universe will be about to open. Just the right amount of time to...

Awesome, more screens! I can't wait to pay 10k for my family to watch Moana on a movie screen on the new Moana "ride"! Sure as heck beats animatronics and a real environment. - end sarcasm Now if it's at least as good as Shanghai Pirates I will take back everything I said. But come on, we...
