I think that if you're honest about Maelstrom, you'd have to admit that it was an odd duck. Now, I get it - most people hate change and because they see the same ride there everyday the new ride/refurb is something that they'll inevitably complain about. Still, Maelstrom was odd: - Norse God -...

It'd be funny if Disney got lazy enough to say something like, "The backstory of how Anna and Elsa got into this park is based upon the popularity of one of the songs from the movie which drove IP awareness to the point where everyone was asking, "Where's Elsa and Anna??" This led us to...

Nooooo... Storm Troopers stop them if they try to leave. Honestly, if they did a decently themed New Order jail, people would line up to be arrested by the storm troopers and spend the night in Dark Side Jail. I'm not kidding.

I think there are several things at play: 1) Everything they've shown so far has been ridiculed. If they show more, they'll get more ridicule. 2) It's probably best to leave the remaining customers a bit in the dark about the experience rather than have them influenced by ridiculed from YouTube...

From the earnings report, it sounds like people are embracing Genie+/Lightning Lane.

Stop trying to make that a thing, @castlecake2.0, it's not catching on.

I don't think the sand sculpture itself is controversial nor is anyone really getting uptight about any of it. The discussion is swirling around the notion of: What belongs in the parks? What doesn't? What would be weird to see in the parks? Going back to something I mentioned earlier: If...

While we're talking about "what would fit": They own Anastasia now. Is she a princess? Should she be a princess? Should she be in the parades and at meet & greets? It was a first rate movie (and they created a few suck-sequels, based on the bat, I believe). Should the Bartok (the bat) be a...

I'm not sure I understand the distinction of whether it's literally in the park or not. To answer your other questions: - Yes, even Star Wars feels out of place to me in Tomorrowland (DL). Star Tours always felt like, "Here's Tomorrowland where we can see a vision of the future... and Star Wars...

They really do get it right. If I want a REALLY good steak, I'll do it myself. If I'm being lazy and still want a good steak, Texas Roadhouse is my go-to. What amazes me is how some restaurants had it right for a long time (like the quality of Texas Roadhouse "right") and just fell by the...

Ice Age wasn't Dreamworks. It was Fox. Dreamworks had a lot of promise but if you look over the moves that were made, there's A LOT of "meh" in there. https://www.imdb.com/list/ls063182572/ I used to collect animated movies, at least from major studios. I had to stop. It was just too much crap...

It's so incredibly weird to me. Disney being homogenized into all of these different parts. It'd be like walking into the Magic Kingdom and seeing Bug Bunny and Daffy Duck walk around. "Hey, Bugs... You're in the wrong part of town!" Still, Disney now owns all of these properties so I guess we...

I think they could justify the cost if everything we saw so far left us with, "OMG! That's freaking amazing!" You don't get that from the videos released so far nor the box truck. It actually kind of leaves you with, "Now I'd feel like a chump if I was paying that.." - which is where, I think...

The following is "in general" and not directed directly at @danlb_2000, directly. I don't accept that premise. I know that's what's pushed here: "You don't like the new thing / have problems with the new thing / don't think the new thing is up to snuff!!! Why do you want Disney to fail????"...

As somebody that is going next month I felt compelled to respond... "On the cheap" - I meant what it appears that Disney is spending, not you. I used to (like 10-15yrs back) think LARPers, etc. were a little nutty (same with D&D players and whatnot). The thing is: You're just trying to live...

I'm not a fan of Kathleen Kennedy. Yep, she's all about the woke. That being said, I think she, on the surface at lease, made a fairly good point about, "Galaxy's Edge is about the future of Star Wars and the characters that'll inhabit it." (paraphrased) Agree with it or not, I think it's a...

I think 20-30 years out that Star Wars will have lost its charm. They'll likely rebuild the entire land sometime after that into something else.

I think that's an interesting take: What if it just became an extension to Galaxy's Edge? It may not be worth it due to construction costs, but they could build an elevated walkway (themed so you're not overlooking the parking lot) to it and then have the light saber training, dining, a lounge...

I don't want them to fail on this. I just see them as doing just that based on their previous budgetary actions, them seemingly doing this on the cheap, etc. Every time Disney does something on the cheap it's noticed and it either fails (DCA) or isn't well received. When they put time and money...

I think traveling on a Transport ship far better fits the whole Star Wars universe vibe. Small quarters would be in order (which is what they're giving you on the Star Cruiser). You may very well be traveling through a war zone, which I think most fans want. Being boarded by the Empire...
