I recently "bought" the Mahalo Rewards Card episode as prep work for a Kauai trip. There's an abandoned hotel the cartoon references as home of Elvis that made it onto my highlight map. I guess I see that one as timeless! Was rolling on the floor when they sunk the ship. The history of the Coco...

I'm not normal, haha, but I would seek out a themed eatery in the park as part of my reason for my day trip. If I were going to eat at someplace un-themed like Connections for convenience, then sure I'd show up with a full belly. But to me the opportunity to eat in space (or whatever) is well...

I know I do.

They are building a mathematical model of you. By making you sign in they can be sure it's really you. You can tell where the industry is going by the types of popups Google gives you. For the last year or two it's always been 'sign in for the best experience'. The little guys, Disney is a...

Walking from the beach at the poly towards the TTC across the empy field where moorea and pago pago are now. Late 70s, humid, topiaries, moonlight. I think I still like the parks to this day because of that.

You call that a man? I call it a child.

I don't think it was a disaster, just too niche for the corporate culture. They want to sell a little to everybody, the Starcruiser sold a lot to a few. I think it was a success for the few, the many said 'too much'.

Disney has received complaints that their parks require too much planning. Some of us are sympathetic to you, the people who would like to plan your trip. I too would like to be able to plan my trip.

The trapped thing. Wait 15 minutes, load up with a small crowd, disembark with the crowd. I think casually transiting would be more fun. They would come up with something? I think it would be fun and popular. Disney can count their money themselves, they seem quite eager to. I don't think...

Regardless of the actual use they come up with for the Starcruiser I think a critical element is the connection to the park. It MUST be continuous, like a peoplemover. Not a periodic truck or train which leaves me feeling trapped. Imagine a peoplemover cruising around the second story of SGE...

People legitimately catching up to their group pave the way for those who are not.

My understanding is that the gigantic IT project itself was the goal. They wanted to keep up with the times and more easily collect data on their guests to feed their shiny trendy new AI. Imagine the board at cocktail parties bragging about how their robots are going to "print money". As usual...

Who is "Disney" in that sentence? My guess is Bob will be OK no matter what. I don't think of shareholders as "Disney" as most fund holders have no idea they have it and most of the rest are the Disney family and Bob. Who again, will be fine.

It's pronounced I-gor. My grandfather used to work for your grandfather, of course the rates went up.

They need to add Guest Relations capacity! They need a Guest Relations "pay to skip the line" scheme! So you can get a refund for the attraction skip the line scheme. Under the current regime, there's an awful lot of pressure on people and machines alike during that first second at 7 am. No...

I want to go down the slide headfirst. Maybe backwards with a friend. If I break my neck it's my problem. A "recommended position" is absolutely a good idea, but a "required position" is iron fist 1984 depressing.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I'll offer the unpopular opinion that LED lighting is a scourge on humanity. I love the efficiency, but when that's used to blast a billion lumens at hapless people I am saddened. More on topic, I do love SSE lit up, but I agree with Tom some subtlety would actually improve it.

The consumer makes monthly payments in perpetuity and receives a transient glimpse in return, there's nothing but upside if you're the seller. DVDs are easy to copy, they will be going away. Cinavia will keep the money flowing, HDCP. I don't feel the consumer is in the driver's seat. I have a...

But the whales always show up when needed. I suppose the minefield may keep them away but there's a pretty big hole in that.
