    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I did my first DCL cruise in 2022 (my gfs 2nd) and we had so much fun we bought the 10% off voucher before getting off the ship, we’ve bought that offer every cruise since, this will be our 4th DCL cruise in just over 3 years, we also have a Princess Alaska cruise coming up so I’m excited to see...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    We’re in a similar situation, we used to go to DL monthly (as local APs) and WDW once or twice a year on average… with all the changes the last few years we now vastly prefer cruising or other vacations. We are going on a DCL cruise in January and will be spending a few days in WDW since we’ll...

    Rumor Disney resort of some kind in Texas?

    This would be another major advantage to a park nearer the Houston area, most people I know that travel to FL for a Disney cruise out of Port Canaveral will also spend a few days at WDW, along with tickets, hotel, and bus transportation to the port, they would have the same bundling ability...

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

    I’m curios to see what the audience will be for the Marvel films, with the Kang story sidelined and no real direction it feels more like individual films instead of a connected series right now, I think brave new world will benefit from being tied to known character but I also expect some...

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

    I feel like the snowball affect may be a big factor next year also, 2023 was compounding failures, 2024 has been compounding successes, if Brave New World does well I think it sets up everything else to succeed also, if it struggles I think the rest of the year will be an uphill battle. This is...

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

    2024 looks pretty safe from flops with only Moana 2 and Mufasa left to release, Mufasa being a little questionable but I think with IO2s massive success it will at the very least be profitable. 2025 will be far more interesting with Brave New World, Snow White, Thunderbolts, another Tron movie...

    SPOILER Agatha All Along, D+, premier 9/18/24

    So far it feels very similar to Wandavision to me, which is good. Other than Agatha and Sharon (rip) I couldn’t tell you the names of the other witches or the boy though, and I’ve been chuckling at the above talk of Wiccan, Lady Death, etc because I have no idea who any of them are. I’ve...

    Rumor Disney resort of some kind in Texas?

    With the TX triangle alone having 20 million people both those scenarios might not be that far off, I think a TX park would be similar to DL, rumored at about 80% locals and 20% tourists. It may poach a few people from DL and WDW but I bet it would also turn a lot of once or twice a year...

    Rumor Disney resort of some kind in Texas?

    It’s been discussed several times here already, it would make sense from a population perspective, there’s cons also though. I think a DL style castle park near the Austin, Houston, Dallas area makes a ton of sense but I’m doubtful it’ll happen in my lifetime.

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    I’ve never paid much attention but other than bag check I don’t think I’ve ever noticed security at the park gates, the CM’s scanning tickets aren’t security so I’m sure the policy is to just let them in and then let security deal with them once they get there. She must have been making quite...

    The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

    Imagine having to explain to your kids you can’t go to DL anymore because you are now trespassed. Poor kids, hopefully they have another family member who can still take them so they don’t pay for their mom’s lack of morals.

    Inside Out 2

    Just watched this and gotta admit I’m a little surprised it broke the all time box office record, it’s good but I liked the first one better. Good story, good message, relatable, nothing really negative to say… maybe I expected too much based on all the box office hype but I’d say it’s “one of...

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    It’s a massive expense up front also, the last time I replaced my dying grass I priced out replacing it with fake grass and it was going to be nearly $1000, and that was just for materials with me doing the manual labor myself, that compared to about $100 to resod it. Factor in an extra $10 a...

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    I think it’s a combination of both, when I wanted to reduce my water usage at home (for drought and financial reasons) I tore out all the grass in the front yard and replaced it with desert landscaping, I replaced a lot of my backyard grass with desert landscaping also but kept a 10x15 foot...

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    There’s also a huge business difference, banning plastic straws is an easy environmental choice because they don’t generate revenue, banning plastic balloons that make $20 per balloon… not gonna happen. WOC directly generates revenue, comparing its water loss to grass is apples to oranges.

    New Tomorrowland @ Disneyland? Is this the year it finally gets announced? No, and that’s OK

    I agree, a couple upgrades, a couple downgrades, probably a wash overall… the addition of MMRR makes Toontown a must visit every trip now though. Overall we find it an improvement. I’d still rather wait for a new management team before they tackle Tomorrowland though, there’s a lot at stake...

    New Awful Security Screening Process

    We stayed at the Best Western Plus Park Place (right across from the entrance on Harbor) and it was fantastically convenient, also very well maintained, but I can’t justify $350 a night for what you get, we spend afternoons at our hotel so the pool, lounge, room, and other amenities are equally...

    They also replaced what was a big grass lawn with a flower planter (the old fountain) and other landscaping, it could be argued it’s far more interesting now than it was before. Of all the things Disney has downgraded in the last 5 years this wouldn’t make my top 1,000 list.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    It almost feels like they’d have to do a dual CEO position if they choose either of them, Josh has 0 film/tv experience, Dana has 0 parks/resorts/cruise experience. Both are very well suited to run their side of the company but both are also completely inexperienced on how to run the other side...

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    The fake grass isn’t even noticeable to me but it’s all over the place in Vegas so maybe I’m just used to “grass” looking that way. I wish they’d have put the hearse in the grass area rather than in the queue though, it feels a little cramped with the hearse where it is and I’m also afraid...
