Wow, THIS x 10^6. This is exactly what I try to tell people why I loved going to WDW as a child and still want to like going now. It is the little extras that cast members give every time that I go that makes me want to come back. The small details add up in a way that is more than the sum...

Not sure if this is on topic or not, but I am still willing to give TDO a chance. My kids love the parks and I still have big time nostalgia for them as well (not to mention we own DVC). I am excited about much of what they announced at D23 (especially the space restaurant), but if it means...

Hard to monetize maybe? Not many M&Gs occur outside of the parks anyway. I guess you could do one at the springs... Can't really see them doing a character breakfast, at least not yet. My bet is that they could do Marvel M&Gs on property, but why do it? Makes little sense to incur the wrath...

Forget GotG, I think they want to put a MARVEL hotel in. Just looked at the contract again... it's a little hazy but I think there's a loophole whereby Disney could develop a MARVEL hotel, as long as it isn't physically attached to EPCOT, and as long as they don't have any simulators or too much...

Well, I hope that the printing press that will be the SW hotel will offset some of the operational cost of the land. I think TDO isn't that stupid to realize that if they're charging $1K per night or whatever, they better be providing a totally immersive experience (especially because I think...

Ok, got it. So I guess speculation is futile on this, then? Not trying to be snarky, just genuinely want to know. Do you think the fact that they decided to show this particular piece of art means this is the general directon they're headed? Or do you think concepts from the other plans...

Yes I know that, though to me it will always be EPCOT. In any case, people still associate Epcot or whatever you want to call it, with some vision of the future (T for tomorrow). It's hard to keep Epcot in the name and have no association with the future, which it looks like this blue sky...

Who were the imagineers on Gemini? Was Fitzgerald one of them? As they say, old good ideas never die at WDI. Also, @marni1971 is the plan to shoehorn movie IP into *every* pavillion? Looking at this concept art, I see two major themes: space/transport in West vs. exploration/discovery of the...

This.... with stickied dedicated threads for discussing the various known projects (GoTG, Ratatouille, M:S and restaurant, maybe DVC and gondolas??) , rumored projects (Brazil pavillion, Coco overlay of Gran Fiesta, proposals for JII, other rumored WS pavillions), and of course a mega sticky...

So the monorail bit is totally false?

Not to sound naive or pollyannish, but maybe the reason Siemens is out is because Disney has a better offer from a different sponsor? Especially if the explanation is coming forthwith? Surely Disney would announce that with a press release. Seems hard to fathom, I give you that, but it does...

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that I'm not really sure that they care there was a drop. In fact it may be even desired. The customers they lost (to universal, somewhere else, six flags, whatever) may have been the most price sensitive customers that typically aren't going to...

Man, I would never had thought of that... that is truly sneaky. I have an AP and tried to make FPs at Epcot just now for 30 days out(my wife also has an AP), and I made one for Soarin' and her for Frozen and it wouldn't allow me to transfer her Frozen to my account (it said I already had an...

I am confused. What is this talk of changing parties for FP? Even if you made a FP selection for a phantom user (or real friend) who isn't going to the park that day, don't you still need their MB to use it? I thought no individual can hold more than 3 pre-selected FP per day. How could you...

Honestly I wonder if one of the reasons for this is that TDO is realizing they are running out of FPs in Pandora much faster than the number of predicted guests would otherwise suggest. I mean they probably know now with some degree of confidence exactly how many individual guests will visit...

Ok, fine, but isn't the problem when the app doesn't limit the number of hangers-on that can also get FPs? Because it doesn't. You could literally have 50 AP friends on the MDE site/app, and all 50 of them would be eligible to book FPs at 60 days for the grand total of $39. They DON'T need to...

Well the phantom guests could all be real friends of yours who have APs who aren't going to the parks that day. To truly make this despicable, they also can get around the 30 day window by reserving a $39 campsite at FW. The "phantoms" don't even need to be on the reservation, but just be...

This begs another question... it appears they are enforcing against the usage of non-gate admission media-linked FP+ (NGAMLFP+?) at the point of the FP+ queue entry, but are they enforcing against the selection of FP+ in the first place on MDE? For example, I had no idea that old expired...

Agreed. I only stumbled onto this by accident, and I thought maybe it was just a glitch, because my friend did after all have a reservation. But now I think it's a loophole, and I think others have exploited it.

Got you, that makes sense, thanks for the clarification! My bigger point is that hordes of AP'ers can get FPs at the 60 day +10 mark as long as they are all linked to the same one person on MDE who happens to have a resort reservation, even if it's only the cheap FW campsite kind. $39 isn't...
