“We”: -Fans of the way things were done in parks prior to the living “quarter to quarter” numbers game. -Old school WDI fans. -Fans of pirates, jungle cruises, tiki birds, 99 haunts, yetis, towers, spheres shaped like Earth designed to make you think, rides that made you consider your future-...

All True- We talk… everyone at work come to us and ask how to “Disney”. Diz has it figured out that we aren’t happy & we are sharing our feelings… my gut tells me the Diz is trying to “un-sour” our current feelings. This structured interviews with softball questioning and the current rash of...

That’s cause most of them came from wdi in the old days… ;)

Tell us more!

Only in a back alley close to 54th… tell em “Louie” sent ya

Kinda feels like they are pandering to the “old EPCOT” regime- but it also feels like it’s 12 years too late…

And he’s not named Bob… :)

I suggested this way back at the start of g+ and was shouted down… didn’t let it change my mind. Btw- anyone care to share how much they paid (or Diz was charging) for G+ over this “slower than expected” Holiday weekend?

With the Galactic Star Cruise finishing up its final few voyages, I’m wondering (out loud) if the funding for streetmosphere entertainers will be plugged back in to the parks….

So to be clear- to save money? Or to continue to do touch up stuff? (If you can share, of course)

Already in place…. To an extent

No chance we would ever “invest” in DVC. DIS, however… I’ll pull the trigger when you say in your best Rafiki voice: “It Is Time”

@Sirwalterraleigh is it time to “buy”, yet?? :)

I think you hit the nail on the head: “theming” IP is not the issue… in my opinion of course…

It’s interesting, to me, at least, to see what rave reviews Indy gets- and then how flat Dino falls…

I don’t think the current version of WDI is “Your fathers Imagineering”… Much of the heavy lifting is now being farmed out to private firms and such

I like the thoughts- but from my understanding, when a fifth gate is pitched- the cost of infrastructure, the ability to staff it, combined with the fact that a fifth gate will steal “guests” from the other four gates, it becomes a non starter. My thoughts would be to create a third domestic...

So, possibly now that Disney has found out a new revenue stream in selling the fast passes, that may lead to the fleshing out the parks with more rides worthy of purchasing LL or Genie + for… I think this is our best bet for parks that get finished. Peeps are figuring out that MK and HS are...

Fast pass begin in 1999, I believe? Fast pass then moved away from paper distribution to the “make a reservation” and use the app plus your band to tap in. The band helped to keep tabs on what guests where spending. The reservation was a way to move people from crowded rides (SM?) to rides...

I think a decision was made at some point to move away from expanding the parks in meaningful ways (to save money) and using the fast pass / magic band as a way to manipulate crowds in a manner that park expansion would not be necessary - as a side effect, it eliminating the creative piece of...
