    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    There is not one single theme park operating in CA "unbothered" and to think that shows that you don't understand what is happening. Knott's is operating the restaurant, a couple of shops and a very limited area inside the park. no rides, no shows, no attractions. Even their "event" is a...

    News Disney updates its legendary Four Keys model to include a fifth key

    So what areas would need more focus that aren't already covered by courtesy? Seems like they need to refocus and reemphasize courtesy to ALL guests to me. I'm still waiting to hear some concrete examples of how inclusion would do that. They aren't going to add anymore time to Traditions...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I'm just shaking my head over that. The tables are very clear and easy to see. Why didn't they remove them? Seems they could have been used, sold to CM's or other business, or something else done with them rather than just include them in the demo. so much of this just seems off, without the...

    News Goodbye to The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra

    completely different departments, areas, and divisions of the company. Other than both being under the Disney umbrella and being related to the parks, they have nothing to do with each other.

    News Goodbye to The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra

    Actually I was thinking of the British Invasion, who the British Revolution replaced, and they definitely were a Beatles tribute band. :) Sadly the conclusion is still the same. No more band.

    News Disney updates its legendary Four Keys model to include a fifth key

    Former CM, as most of you know. Read through most of the discussion with interest. I'm not opposed to or offended by the new 5th key. But I am certainly confused by it. The Keys are for CM's to use as guidelines in how they do their job, and how they treat and relate to guests. They aren't...

    It was called a bugs life

    As a "preacher" (pastor), just because he has 100k plus followers doesn't make him a preacher. Nor does it mean that he's not a loony bin in need of mental help. What this guy is doing has nothing- I repeat NOTHING- to do with preaching and pastoring. It's confusion and stunts like this that...

    On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

    At the risk of a slight diversion of topic- yep. Right now it certainly is. had to take a trip from my home to LA area for some family business. Original flights into Ontario were canceled- not enough passengers and the times were changed. Still ended up with an entire row to myself because...

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    Sadly saw things like that a couple times a week. If we heard it we'd immediately cut in between the characters and the kids/ guests and say no way. Wouldn't let them near unless they promised they were not going to hit them. Did have a couple of times where I told parents that if their child...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    This! I don't think many realize how much work goes into editing videos (after research, scripting, shooting, etc). Even for "simple youtube vloggers" there is a big time commitment on editing. I'm quicker than many and it still balanced out somewhere around an hour of editing work for every...

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    Thankfully those kinds of creepy guests wanting to use the characters for their own photo shoots were rare. Was there no Photopass photographer? Because they or the attendant should have put a stop to that really quick. "Sorry sir, but only a couple of photos per guest, there are others...

    Your Disney Memorabilia

    My backdrops for my videos have a little bit. I also have another shelf unit at home that you can see in my live feeds. Oh, and then there are the 2 file cabinets just to the sides of these shelves that are filled with park brochures, maps, pamphlets, employee magazines, and things like that...

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    That actually sums up my feelings about the land as well. I think the boneyard area is pretty neat. I know when my kids were younger they really liked it. It can certainly still fit into a "real" dinosaur theme area of the park. And Dinosaur still views for my daughter's favorite ride in...

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    Unfortunately we'd see that all to often. It wasn't all the time or constant, but it would be at least once a day. Drove me nuts.

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    Every cast member has heard that question. Multiple times. I've seen a lot of people try to excuse it, or find reasons for it, to explain that they don't really mean what they are asking but really asking something else, like when the parade will reach them. i wish I could believe that, but it...

    What is the dumbest thing you've heard a guest say to a character?

    I admit up front, I'm doing a bit of research for a video I'm working on and hoping that some of your experiences will ring some bells and refresh some things in the old memorizer. It's also why I'm looking a bit specific. But I would love to hear what some of the dumbest, silliest, or just...

    Construction restarted at Walt Disney World Resort - What is Actually still on

    I thought that it had been delayed/ postponed, but would be happening at a later date, to be determined when things recover a bit.
