    Boy, not a lot of movies to connect things together at this point. Captain America and Thunderbolts are going to need to do a great job.

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    The opening month is not the question, the question is what does it look like in 4 months. I think the Starcruiser comparisson makes sense in that respect. It's definitely possible it does well, but I can say from my small group of people I know that go to Disney, none have even a curiousity...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    That's the thing. We always hear about how those of us on here are not a majority so our opinions don't matter. So, to turn it a bit, how many people that visit Disney will know this is not a Disney run restaurant? A lot here think this will be a huge fail at the Boardwalk, but it could step...

    Again, it'd be fascinating to get the same type of data Len gets for other parks, cause my experience has been Disney does the worst job at estimating their wait times, and that says something when they have the most tools to make it accurate.

    Price hike coming 10/9

    Everyone talked about it because the CEO said crowds were down. Lines do not indicate how crowded the parks are. For reference, at MK, Crowds are 6% higher than they were all the way back in 2006. Comparing to 2015, crowds are down 13.4%, but the wait time for a selection of rides (7 Dwarf...

    Neither do I, but I'm old enough to remember the red cards to make sure they were accurate, which was then switched to use the RFID in the magic bands to help calculate them (which the other parks I've been to have no access to). They also know within the hour how many fast passes they can...

    Price hike coming 10/9

    Just quick checking among other hotels, that tax is baked into the cost to valet (at least the first 2 I looked up). So Disney sort of is profiting on it by not taking it out of the $42 fee like other hotels do.

    Somewhat. But, you would think that predictions would not skew heavily one way or the other if that was the case (otherwise they would change their prediction methods) since there are a host of reasons to both under and over predict. Also, Disney has more access to data for rider wait times...

    Price hike coming 10/9

    I think there is a problem is short term, I don't really know (other than having more stuff, so you can have more people comfortably), I'd have to really think on it. But, I think by thinking on the short term returns, you are potentially really hurting the long term. I know we have heard for...

    Cool. And sorry, hope it didn't come across that I was questioning if the data is good (like you said, some noise is to be expected, I wouldn't question it like that at all). I was curious if it did exactly what you said here (which I did not know as far as the app), or if it was more someone...

    MLB 2025 Discussion Thread (Current Champions: Los Angeles Dodgers)

    Based on this article (and a few others I've read), Disney is a real option here (best fit in terms of suites, number of seats, etc., but difficult in scheduling with all the other things that go on there), as well as the Orioles stadium in Sarasota as they don't have a minor league team that...

    I'd guess what they are looking for is a direct correlation of wait time posted vs. actual wait time. How time accurate is your data (i.e., do you know the actual time someone got in line vs. got off, or just approximate)? I personally would be interested to see how long someone waited vs. the...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    True (though I can't remember if he said that before they dropped attendance), but I'll again point out, I don't think that was really too large a concern, more of an excuse. Satisfaction didn't have to do with if the walkways or the parking lot were crowded, it had to do with getting on rides...

    That's not correct at all. You think being fans of Disney is like that of a sports team? And that Cedar Point is the Arch Enemy of Disney? There is almost no similarity, in no small part because Disney doesn't need to beat Cedar Point to advance. Not a great analogy, but it's probably a lot...

    Depends on when you go. We went Saturday just for Halloween stuff, and absolutely the case (it was the busiest I have EVER seen the park). But it's the only time. Took my daughter and her friend on a Sunday in September to Cedar Point, and they rode 11 coasters plus a bunch of flat rides in...

    Yes. Speaking from experience, they are much better when it feels like they are getting somewhere. An hour is absolutely not an hour for how it feels. Every gym-goer in the world knows the memes with like "If I'm told I have one minute to live, I'm going to plank so it feels like an...

    I'll go back to what I said a while ago as well, it will feel like less time in line because you would be moving, which I still say is the biggest issue these skip the line things are producing.

    They are contenders? Then I'd say we will probably see them both be fired.

    The only new build is really Villains land. The others are taking stuff out to put new stuff in at basically an equal attraction level. Will Encanto and Jones be more popular than what is at Dinosaur? I'd bet a ton of money on it. But that doesn't mean they are building new and adding a...

    The only thing is ILL did NOT incentivize them to build new, it incentivized them to replace so that they can charge money for a new ride without needing to hire staff to run the new and old ones.
