    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    By that logic the company can never change the attraction. Personally I expect they are going to update it, have Trump do the oath for a year or two and then quietly close it to be replaced by something else before we hit the 2028 cycle. Also, Trump already had a speaking role when he was added...

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    I first noticed it in 2022 and again last year but don't remember it in previous trips before then. Not sure if it actually changed at some point (don't think it did) or I just became more aware of it.

    Walt Disney World Holiday Season 2024

    Love DHS over the holidays but my one complaint it how short the music loop is overall. I feel like I start hearing repeats pretty quick.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Yes, but that makes me wonder if they are reacting to unexpected demand or just testing limits.

    Value is subjective of course but you really think inherited wealth gives someone a better judgement of value than someone who earned it all themselves?

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Yes, with enough time in a park on a given day and planning people could get every ride in most parks with a combination of standby, LLMP and LLSP. My argument is that the reality for most guests don't allow for staying in the parks as long as that would take. So, with that in mind, something...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I do want to push back a little on the assumption that just anyone could get the same number of rides using LLMP/LLSP. I would bet most people can't unless they rope drop, stay most of the day, are staying longer than 7 days on site so can book earlier and are there on a mid/low crowd day. Not...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    The important question is did that percentage change by a meaningful amount post paid line skip? If it has always been overinflated by around that much then the notion that Disney is inflating times to promote sales is not correct. My understanding is they have always overinflated times by...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    They created it? Disney had no say in the creation of the ADA nor can they dictate to the Depart of Justice how it is interpreted or enforced. I understand you are upset but businesses have not been allowed to ask for documentation in the US for ages and most will not even look at any if the...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    They don’t take documents because the law, as it stands now, says they can’t. It isn’t some ploy to deny people.

    News Disney raises price of Walt Disney World Annual Passes

    Of course, but it does mean those folks are paying the yearly maintenance fees which on anything other than the smallest contracts is going to be at least a thousand+ a year at this point. Even if they aren't using those points, someone is going to or they expire and then Disney will. No matter...

    News Disney raises price of Walt Disney World Annual Passes

    Is the surprising though? Many of the biggest complainers on here seem to constantly be down there on trips, going to after parties, buying APs, and are DVC owners. On one hand it makes sense as they are likely the most invested fans, but it is also hard to take someone seriously when all they...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This. We were surprised how much better it was there the last few trips.

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

    This is certainly true on the parks side of things but not nearly as much as people make it out to be with the studios. Since Iger took over the first time, Disney has had 35 animated theatrical releases (including ones that should have been released during Covid and assuming I didn't miss...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    We went late 2020 when it was standby only and it was amazing but to be fair, they still had attendance caps and forced distancing then. It would not be nearly that good now.

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

    Eisner was terrible post Wells, which includes the back half the 90s. Sure, there were bright spots here and there but he was just never the same and it showed. That doesn't take away from what he accomplished before then, but those last 10 years were not good.

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

    I would say a lot has changed. The company was reorganized and reverted back to the model it was very successful with before Chapek. Imagineering was rebuilt after years of forced retirements and fed-up employees fleeing an unworkable situation. The fight with the state was ended. The movie...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Yes, but TP own charts of potential availability of G+ return times show most rides still having slots well into early evening hours at nearly all crowd levels. They show HS with everything but SDD having possible openings as late as 3 PM on high crowd days. MK also 3 PM, with half the park...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    He can correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Len has pointed out they don't do this any more than they traditional have. Something they wish they didn't do anymore and only exists because they made a short sighted agreement with the third party that runs their hotels. There is a reason they...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Let's be honest, they have been that way since day one. Walt made you pay to get in and then charged you per ride. Eisner started upcharge after hours events. Iger took what both did, combined them all and injected the whole things with steroids. So yes, it has gotten worse, but this has been...
