    Our complaints about Epcot between the 2000’s and now, are we living in our worse WDW nightmare?

    Once upon a time I had FP+ sceduled for the rides, and I rope dropped the trails. That's the way I like to do AK. I'm still hoping they'll let me do that again someday. I can kinda sorta simulate it now with LL, but not really.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Let me try and help: The issue is NOT that we think wait times are inflated because it will increase profits. The issue is we EXPECT them to. We understand there's no evidence, we still expect it. At least many of us merely expect it, maybe some really think they do, or claim it to put...

    Streaming and cord cutting

    Ah the cable company. Yea the pricing was a hassle. To get a good rate you had to have an "introductory rate". Every couple of years you had to call them and threaten to quit to get the intro rate back. And the post-intoductory rate is a secret, you had to call them to learn what that rate...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Barbie is not a success because of nostalgia, that merely enticed some people to attend. A solid script, inspired visual direction, and a host of intellectual jokes surprised viewers in the best way. There was some nostalgic highlighting of sought after Barbie merch, but again it was twisted...

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    There's a wild animal hospital in Ogden UT (WRCNU) that is being displaced for a dinosaur kids park. Those tacky dino statues have some serious clout and big backers. The hospital might survive, they are trying really hard.

    Disney has an "IP" issue, and not the one we've discussed often

    Marvel is inherently un-themed. Most of the time you have a typical city street with a guy in tights. They could have used the old MGM backlot tour as-is and just thrown some spidey cutouts in there and saved tons of cash. Thinking back, the fortress of solitude and Batman's lair are both...

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Disney Vacation Club offering discount for VIP Tours at Walt Disney World

    They're just trying to make sure the Starcruiser crowd has something prestigious to do now that it's gone. The economics and profitability should be similar.

    Haunted Mansion

    Saw a trailer for HM before Barbie and I thought it looked great. I guess it doesn't matter to me if it makes money, I just care if it's worth my time. Barbie was wonderful though, I'm going to be spoiled for years by that one. Asteroid City was great too and no one seems to have noticed.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I guess the internet got the word that crowds are low this spring, so everyone booked a trip as soon as they could, which is apparently now. I have trouble explaining the apparent influx of guests any other way? Did DDP start this week?

    Chaos at Twitter

    This is an interesting and enigmatic comment, what would be the consequences if he didn't buy twitter? I feel like he could retire immediately and do nothing, so what is required of Elon Musk?

    Chaos at Twitter

    I like the bird better. I think X will stand out better in our heads from the other chat platforms and support expansion. So I think Musk is probably right as usual, annoyingly. Regarding the drop in value; Musk is in a position to not care about a loss even on this scale. I don't think he...

    I opened with "deep Iger conspiracy theories". I guess I give the readership too much credit.

    Bringing collapsible seats into the parks

    An ECV may work, and since it carries itself it weighs nothing? Those chairs are light but they won't fit in my pocket so they are a no-go for me. Same for popcorn buckets. Special edition cupcakes get two thumbs up though.

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    Speaking of "deep Iger conspiracy theories", what if Iger want's to reduce Disney's contribution to Florida GDP? What if the brand strategy is on-target? Dis-anti-s wants Florida to look like an economic success story and claim he can extend it to the U.S. A possible explanation for the lack of...

    New American Heartland Theme Park in Oklahoma

    11 million RVs in America and it's not easy to use them. 5 million visitors a year is very doable since Oklahoma is between the east where the RVs are parked and the west where they're used.

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I agree it breaks up the old school circular courtyard and its symmetry. But I kind of like that. What used to be a large area you had to cross to get to something else, now has something in it. Plus that something is pretty and has shade. Having the entrance outside the ring will direct a...
