Yep. That's what separates Disney from other theme parks. Other parks typically clear the old rides/attractions out and make way for new ones. Disney? They'll just leave it there for a few decades until they have a need for the space.

I think that the major difference right now is that Comcast/Universal, from what I understand, has a guy who LOVES theme parks, and, thus, that's why you're seeing such huge, positive changes at Universal. I think the last guy who was like that for Disney was Eisner. Before he lost Frank Wells...

Sounds like it costs money to put that parade on. Are people still lining up at the gate? I think we're fine. I'm not a huge parade fan. I did like MSEP and, to some extent, Spectro. PTN impressed me and Festival of Fantasy, I thought, was pretty great. All that being said, I don't see them...

Let's put on Bob's hat: The MSEP only existed because they needed a reason to keep people in the park after dark. That kept spending on gifts and food up. I think, based on what I gather about Bob, that he's using the MSEP to placate the DL folks who've been complaining about the Magic Key and...

Every time we talk about Spectromagic I have to work to keep that song out of my head. It's a bit of an ear worm.

I grew up with the MSEP. I have fond memories of it and, yes, it probably is my favorite parade. That being said: I'm tired of it. (of course, I no longer go so it doesn't matter - more room for the rest of you!) I saw Paint the Night when I was at DL years back and really liked that parade...

Interesting. I like Tom. He likes Disney but will point out the good with the bad. To be clear: I like Brayden, too. Another one I like is: Offhand Disney

Brayden (not Brandon as I said last time) came out with a video that was largely critical of how the parks were being run. Mickey Views Not just based upon the video mentioned above: I see Brayden as having a lucrative career in travel entertainment. If he expanded outside of the Disney parks...

I think Bob cares about "customer satisfaction" in the way that your local grocery store does. Meaning, you go in, buy your milk and bread, stand in line to check out, and leave and don't think much more about it. With a grocery store: - it needs to be clean - you'll tolerate a bit of a line...

I didn't even think of that. Your'e thinking like Bob! They could roll Magical Gold Buses. These swing by every 15mins and you can track them on your app! It's an Enchanted Upcharge Celebration, of course. Or, if you prefer, you can ride the regular light-blue buses. These are scheduled every...

I don't think it's a matter of them being dumb. I don't think there's going to be anything to "figure out" with regards to transportation other than: You have to pay to use it. I'm curious why so many people think THIS is the sacred cow of WDW. Of all the things that they'd charge for, THIS...

I think it was announced, or at least assumed, that they're gone for good. The castle lights were expensive. Projection is relatively cheap. The crane will be missed. It was magical. All jokes aside: I really like the way they decorate the Disneyland castle. Garland, "snow", ornaments, etc. I...

Or... Hear Bob out: Why not raise the resort costs AND cancel DME? The resort costs went up anyway. I think DME was axed because Bob couldn't think of a way to sell it to you AND make money. It was obviously subsidized. If they were to continue it, even with charging you, it would still have...

There is no active rumor. Why would they include it in "resort fees" when they already charge resort fees and don't include it? I think it'll be a secondary paid item OR resort fees will be increased to cover it. You won't get "transportation" and the current "resort fees". The more I think...

I think it's just a matter of time before they start charging, in some way, for on-site transportation. They'll sell it by telling you how you're doing good by paying them to make the park more "green". Laugh at it if you like, but it's the exact same tactic they used for resort parking. Bob...

Brandon, I think is his name, does MickeyViews. That kid is Mr. Sunshine. He does put a good bit of effort into it. I think he's in the category of "gushing" and sometimes "hushed criticism". I mentioned it before but I sort of wonder how many Disney Vloggers we really need. I think the...

I was just thinking about this the other day. The whole Vlogging for Disney thing is a bit goofy on a few different levels. First, let me say, for any of the vloggers reading this: Do what you want/love to do. Don't let me stop you by writing this. With that out of the way: The Disney...

I've thought about that. Hopefully, they'll keep them up. A light out on SSE is going to be like a dead pixel on your TV screen. All you'll see is the dead pixel / light out. I think they should leave it and keep it up going forward. Of course, a light out on Main Street used to be a thing that...

I'll also add: I think they did a nice job on the castle, with the rose gold, 50th touches. It looks how it should look, in my opinion. Not gaudy (looking at you, 25th anniversary castle cake!). Classy. This is apart from the "beacons of magic" nighttime effect.

I saw the videos of the Beacons of Magic for each of the parks. Magic Kingdom - more projections and left me with "meh" Animal Kingdom - looked ok. Still left me with "meh" HS - It feels like they picked the wrong icon. I would have picked the Chinese Theater. Still. More projections. "meh" Let...
