    Muppets Mini-Land / Muppets Courtyard Additions & Refurbishments

    Grand Park, to coincide with Grand Avenue and the Grand Arts Theatre. Got it.

    Disney's Hollywood Studios Name Change

    I assume they call it Disney California Adventure Park similarly to Magic Kingdom Park.

    A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

    I think the problem is that with the current business model of the parks chasing short term gains, you'd need the equivalent of Don Bluth or John Lassiter leaving Animation to become a competitor. The only person I could maybe see in that sort of position that compares is someone like Matt...

    Do you think Disney will make video games again?

    Is there any factual evidence that The Walt Disney Company is looking into going back to making video games again, or is the future all about licensing ala Star Wars Battlefront, the upcoming PS4 Spider-Man, and Kingdom Hearts 3? Would love to hear your thoughts and any rumblings out there.

    Disney starting its own Streaming Service

    Netflix distributes the shows. Marvel Television produces them. So, Disney has every right to pick up the distribution rights either when the series ends or when Marvel offers Netflix a good deal. Disney, through Marvel, has been able to play quite nicely with other studios lately.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Well, aside from the Disney Jr show, the other Disney Channel IPs are mostly meet and greets and seasonal entertainment. It's likely something like the Epcot interactive game built around Kim Possible debuting in the last six months of the show turned them off from building major experiences...

    A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

    They don't want long term customers that hold them up to higher standards. They can't wait to replace you with someone new who has no knowledge of how the parks have existed. And those people are willing to come over and over and buy DVC without having this prior experience. You need to have...

    "Budget Cuts" - Now Showing at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I just want to clarify that I don't agree with this thinking. I was simply mentioning it for the fact that the argument could be made.

    "Budget Cuts" - Now Showing at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I was going to counter your argument by mentioning the seasonal pricing, but then I remembered that I was uncertain about whether or not seasonal pricing has crept into the non Magic Kingdom parks. So I'll follow up with the argument that you're paying the lower one-day admission to enter one of...

    Disney Posts Mixed Earnings $1.58/share on Rev of $14.24B

    Miramax, and I'm assuming its film library, are now owned by beIN Media Group. Disney Double Dare You morphed into a co-production deal between del Toro and DreamWorks Animation that produces Trollhunters, ironically for Netflix.

    Disney Posts Mixed Earnings $1.58/share on Rev of $14.24B

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Netflix the distributor of the Netflix Marvel series? Doesn't either Marvel Studios or Marvel Television produce the shows? In that case, Disney could acquire the distribution rights either when the series end their run, or when they begin running the new...

    I'm Just Sick Over The Great Movie Ride

    Also remember The Great Movie Ride was designed in the context of licensing films vs Disney's film library circa 1986, of which many films were featured in the Magic Kingdom.

    Does Disney have an identity crisis with their parks?

    And that mistake is being corrected. The plaque dedicating the park has been there since opening day. Tony Baxter had it down to three and four word phrases. Disneyland/Magic Kingdom parks are "Magic made real." EPCOT is "The Magic of Reality." Disney-MGM was "The Reality of Magic." His belief...

    Location of Star Tours

    Jim Hill says Star Tours will stay beyond 2019 at the studio's request to continue updating the preshows with each new movie, for capacity purposes, and in case Galaxy's Edge fails to drive in attendance ala Pandora (thanks to fans wanting to experience the original trilogy). He also says that...

    GMR is closing. Are you excited about it? What is your age range?

    I'm sure the new ride will be wonderful, but I will miss the Great Movie Ride. It has the potential to be, and should have been, updated to showcase Great Moments at the Movies.
