By the way I would have named the towers for the Disney/Disney-ish characters who could afford to stay in them: Cruella De Vil Tony Stark Marie the Aristocat Scrooge McDuck

In 2006 they were the Sierra, Marina, and Bonita towers. In 2010 they were the Dreams, Magic, and Wonder tower. In 2015 they were the Adventure, Frontier, and Fantasy tower. Presumably Disney isn’t opposed to changing them again to make it make sense eventually.

Look I wrote that at 2AM my time and I 2AM’d the math. But it’s definitely cheaper than dues+taxes for a 1BR.

I still think it’s a huge visual upgrade over the other Disneyland Hotel towers. But the pricing is insane. This isn’t Orlando. I can get a very nice 1 bedroom with a full kitchen in walking distance for maybe 30% more than just the nightly taxes on VDH, let alone the dues and the buy-in. And...

So, yes, but for perspective Riviera sold 72,000 points in March and VDH sold 16,000. Riviera is on track to sell out in 2026 or early 2027. VDH is on track to sell out in 2037 or 2038 at its current pace - and is still in year 1 of sales, so based on past DVC properties, we should expect...

If sales don’t pick up at the Villas at the Disneyland Hotel, they won’t need a new DVC to sell out there for many, many, many years.

Current meaning the ones in effect today or current meaning the ones just announced that take effect in 4 weeks?

I think the end of FP+ was more of a turning point for DAS usage than the beginning of G+, just from keeping tabs on the Disabilities forum on Disboards. For many guests, getting really good at FP+ WAS a sufficient accommodation. Starting summer 2020, many people needed more than that. Which...

Well yes I am sure it would be incredibly popular and well attended, but the people HERE and on DisTwitter and the jaded blogger universe would be furious.

I If they built Fantasyland today everyone would be SCREAMING mad that they put in 8 B Tickets.

Somewhere, actually, yes. I have a really cool heat map from 84.51 (data firm) where they stuck RFID tags on all the shopping carts at a Kroger store and saw where they went. The racetrack was dark red. The freezer section where my products were sold was depressingly light pink.

The research on supermarkets is that the stuff in the aisles gets ignored and forgotten and the stuff on the perimeter gets passed by 95%+ of shoppers and is several times more likely to get purchased. That’s why companies like the one I used to work for spent literally hundreds of thousands...

The simplest solution - and almost certainly most efficient way to move large quantities of people over that distance - would be to do what Universal did in Orlando and just build a bunch of elevated covered moving walkways.

This I agree with, but that’s a floor, not a ceiling. Realistically I’d be shocked if Disney doesn’t invest 5-8 billion+ into DSRP areas over the next decade including hotels, DVC, infrastructure, dining, retail, and yes, theme park expansion.

Please, step this way, please hand your bag to the woman with powdered baby formula all over her gloves, unzip all the zippers, yes, allllll the zippers, thank you now place it here with your phone and keys, and get in line here, yes behind the screaming children, thank you for your patience...

I turned it off when public comment started. I doubted I’d learn anything new and it was pretty clear it would pass at least 6-1.

Thank you! I didn’t realize they couldn’t separate them from sports etc.

The only reason not to impose a modest gate tax is continue to lord it over Disney in exchange for concessions. If I were Anaheim, leveraging it to ensure Disney upholds the spirit of the promises in the plan (massive, many billion dollar investment that leads to huge employment increases) and...

And we can quibble over what is an E-Ticket/C-Ticket; the fact is MMRR, MFSR, ROTR, and Spider-Man taken together dramatically expanded ride capacity vs what was there before (nothing, nothing, petting zoo, Heimlich) and represent significant expansions.

Galaxy’s Edge alone filled that requirement if the rumors to it’s cost are true.
