You guys are spoiled, worried about Christmas day, meanwhile here’s what my $1400 DL pass looks like for the next few months.

As others have said EE wins on theming but Velocicoaster is the most fun ride I’ve ever been on… Velocicoaster gets my vote. This is one area that Uni has a massive expectation advantage over Disney, I love Velocicoaster but put the exact same ride, with the exact same “good” theming, and the...

I was so excited when Chapek got fired and they brought Iger brought back… only to be extremely disappointed that Iger 2.0 became Chapek 2.0. It’s been nearly 2 years now and I’m not sure anything’s changed from how Chapek was running the show. I’ll never have Chapek nostalgia, but it’s sad...

Looks very similar to WDWs version, small differences but neither version blows me away. Better than I feared, and I look forward to riding it, but it still feels like a downgrade (or parallel at best). Just feels like a massive waste of money that could have been used to improve something...

What a train wreck, obviously with a company the size of Disney there’s not a huge pool of people with experience to choose from but Iger started as a weatherman and gradually worked his way all the way to the top, the epitome of the American Dream… it’s a great success story but he doesn’t have...

I despise that they aren’t included still but at least they work across all the parks, we’ve been using our old WDW ones (from 2 years ago) at DL this whole year, we bought new ones for DCL but I think we could have just used our old WDW ones there also.

DL has Magic Bands now too, they can’t be used as keys or payment (yet?) but it’s so nice being able to scan into the parks and DAS/LL with them. Not quite as useful as at WDW but getting there. Magic Bands are one of the things I love about WDW, I’m excited to try them on our upcoming...

Probably true, the latest I’ve gone into a D+ series without finishing it is watching 3 full episodes.

They get far less of it though, we have also turned to DCL, as we’ve become more and more frustrated with the parks, but spending an additional $5k a year on a DCL cruise isn’t even close to offsetting the thousands they’re losing from us not having keys at DL anymore, and going a dozen times a...

I don’t even think it has to do with brain development or anything like that, everyone just needs time to figure jobs out, even easy ones, I worked with a fairly new hire today (a 20 something who’s been with us a couple months) and it was driving me crazy that I’d send him to get something and...

My guess is this is probably the #1 factor, guests are more frustrated than ever due to the various line and mobile order programs, and since they’re paying more than ever they have higher expectations. Disney has priced itself as a luxury vacation, that comes with luxury vacation...

I forgot about the partner resorts, I wonder if this will hurt deluxe occupancy, I’d think anyone considering this, but on the fence about price, would see a ton of value in “downgrading” from a deluxe resort to the swan or dolphin and saving several hundred dollars every night that they could...

I think it’ll stay on the list, I’m a little worried they may have lost a few viewers with the 4th and 5th being a little weak but I think the rest of the episodes have been strong enough to maintain, if not gain, fans. I think anyone that made it to the 6th episode is certainly hooked.

I would be shocked if this is encouraging anyone to upgrade to a deluxe resort, if it was included it would be a huge incentive but I’m with Explorer, I can’t imagine there’s many people willing to pay an extra $400 a night for their room just so they can pay $400 more per person for tickets.

I’ve worked in casino bars, bar management, and now showroom bars for 20+ years here in Vegas and I have a similar take, I think 90% of society has stayed the same (or even maybe become more friendly), but the other 10% have gotten so much worse. Full blown Karens used to be pretty rare, now...

Pandora and Slinky were before GE though, I should probably put Guardians in the new ride category, since it’s so vastly different (and better imho) from EEA, but I still think of it as a replacement. When I say no new rides since GE in nearly a decade I’m also factoring in what’s in the...

We’re going back to WDW for our first trip in a little over 2 years and I’m most excited for things like SSE, the Safari, Happily Ever After, POFQ, the Sassagoula boats to Disney Springs, etc. The only new things that make the list are Tron (because we’ve never done it), Luminous (because...

I really enjoyed the first 3 episodes because I felt they set up the story well, I thought episode 4 was a complete dud and added nothing to the story, I think episode 5 was a good setup to his power reveal, and now with episode 6 we’re finally in the meat and potatoes of the story. Had they...

Yes and no, I think the knowledge they can directly monetize a new ride is incentivizing them to do beyond big thunder and Disneyland Forward. With the exception of Tron and Ratatouille, and MMRR at DL, we haven’t gotten anything new stateside since Galaxy’s Egde, nearly a decade of reskins and...

It always comes back to capacity, Disney hasn’t built enough so line schemes are their only solution to try to deal with the mess they created. The fact they have found a way to financially benefit from their failures is frustrating beyond words though. ILL doesn’t bother me because it...
