I saw a tweet that I will paraphrase that really sums this up. "If you like generic sci-fi, escape rooms, and experiential community theater, this experience is for you." I give credit to Disney for taking the hard path of designing an immersive experience, but as much of a Star Wars fan I...

You never really know until you get there...

The only thing that was annoying was the fact that I could not include two members of my party to ILL purchases because they weren't at a Disney deluxe resort, but were staying at a good neighbor deluxe property. But even that was ok because we were flexible with the plans we had.

1 - I have no problem paying to make things easier and have the fortunate ability to be highly elastic to price changes. 2 - I normally wake up before 7am anyway so not an issue. 3 - return times did not impact my trip as I was able to plan everything I wanted to do in the first instance. 4 -...

I've got to admit - I just got back from a trip to WDW and despite my initial concerns about Genie+, I have to say, grudgingly, that it worked wonderfully for me. Yes, the interface needs work. Having the tip board and "my day" next to each other is a bit much. But scheduling LL's and...

The salary for President sucks. The lobbyists and lawyers two blocks away from the White House make more than he does. Hell, Dr. Fauci was paid $434,300 in 2020 and the head of the Tennessee Valley Authority (a quasi-government agency) was hired in 2019 for a total compensation package of $8.2...

Disney should have hired some of the best SW cosplayers to help them on this. Same with the droid bulders for some actual life for GE.

They also don't project them over iPhones. Nearly every holoprojector in Star Wars is some variation of a disk. They didn't even use purple makeup - they just desaturated the actress and added a purple tint. And that background is worse than a free zoom background. I didn't expect the video...

This will be Iger's California Adventure.

I just hope they bring back Mini Vans. Between relying on buses or calling an Uber, ride share wins every single time.

Again - why can't Disney - a behemoth of a film/TV studio - shoot a damn promo video that doesn't look like you hired a local theatrical company to produce it?

That is a good point. This isn't a luxury experience. It's an expensive experience. Those two things are very different. Luxury isn't spending a couple thousand to be housed in a closed box with a few hundred people while offered watered-down "Star Wars" experiences. To me, luxury is a...

You can see him try to spin it positively at first. Thankfully he held true and called it for what he saw. A disaster.

This thread grows and grows whenever I check back on it and I can't look at all of the posts so apologies in advance if this is repetitive. I will never understand for the life of me how a company like Disney, which produces film and TV content cannot pull it together to make a promo video for...

Don't forget the engineers! It's the change in direction that mattered even if the first hits out of the box were from Miller. I still believe the Eisner/Wells combo was what the company needed at the time to secure its position so it could get a chance to redirect itself and stave off a...

I'm no Chapek fan, but the CEO of Disney with a fleet of private aircraft at his disposal can be at WDW anytime he wishes. Plus he owns property in the Keys - more of a reason for him to stop by.

Without Eisner, there would be no Disney. I know the Eisner hate on this forum is real, but you at least need to agree that the chances of Disney surviving the decade would have been slim if not for the change in leadership. We'd be looking at Disney animation absorbed by another studio and...

The man isn't exactly CEO material. Definitely not Chairman material.

Bob Costa?

I guess we'll see what happens. Who knows, maybe we will get lucky. Perfect world scenario - they hot lane the Spaceship Earth upgrade and cancel the Splash retheme.
