Yep. Those were things that popped up in my mind. The viewable warehouses is not a great look. It starts looking like Six Flags. I can, in my head, make some allowance for the Skyliner as there isn't much you can do about it other than keep those back stage areas clean. The original skyway had...

I've also heard it can't handle the demand. I haven't been there. I don't know if this is true. I think I heard it on the Disney Dish. Of course, that might be because of COVID and not being able to put multiple families in at the same time but I suspect that, at this point, it'll be a great...

It is but it's not easily viewable from the road. From the vantage points where you'd see it it just looks like Frog Mountain. Even from the Contemporary you still see Frog Mountain.

Another missed opportunity: I think they ended the new Skyliner (or whatever it's called) in the wrong place or at least missed an opportunity to connect it to the front of Epcot. To me there is a HUGE gap between where you get off the Skyliner at the international entrance and where you'd...

One that bugs me: the back side of Everest. Here's the thing: If you're in the MK or even traveling on the road just past the Contemporary up the side of the MK you can see Space Mountain. You tell your kids, "Look, kids! There's Space Mountain!" It's a "thing". If you're traveling along...

Imagine taking the Monorail over to Disney Springs and then using the Peoplemover to get around that area. That would have been great. It would have said, "We're putting our money where our mouth is!"

I thought it might be cool to have a "missed opportunities" thread (don't think of it as a wishlist of canceled things but more like a "Why didn't they do that?" sort of thing). For example, the one I think of is the Tron Coaster at the Magic Kingdom: They should have spent just a bit extra and...

Granted, I didn't read through 49 pages of this thread but I'm guessing no one else has brought this up: Remember when Disney was touting how "green" they were being by charging for resort parking? "You shouldn't rent a car! You should arrive by bus! We want to encourage our customers to limit...

Not only is it a bit of a "burn", it's also true. I think, fundamentally, you have two (maybe a few) different views of passholders: - Dollywood view: They truly appreciate their passholders. They see them as loyal customers. Every time you try to buy something they will ask you, "Are you a...

They're going to have to up their game, definitely. Disney is "magical" and all that but, if you don't invest in the parks, they will die. WDW is trying to play catchup now and, really, they're catching up to about 10 years back. It's great that they're adding things but they went so long with...

I reached my breaking point 5 years back when I landed on: "This just isn't worth it any longer." At the time they had increased prices for everything and decreased the quality to the point where I went from, "Yeah, it's costly but I still enjoy it," to, "Ok. I'm done." I went back one time in...

I thought about that as I wrote it. I wonder (actually, I'd bet) that there are enough people in the S. CA area that they could sell tickets everyday and fill up the park. Basically, that APer community in S. CA will likely still go, but just not as often, but love DL so much that they'll pay...

Maybe. Passholders are "fillers", meaning, Disney (at least at WDW - I know there's a whole different thing happening at DL) doesn't really value you except when they need you to fill the park. I'd guess two things have happened: 1) The population has reached a point to where DL is going to...

I'd argue: Eisner wanted to keep them on property. Eisner, well, when Frank Wells was still around, was a visionary and could see the "big picture". He understood the guest experience and indirect things like: Yes, the express is a cost, but we will make that money back and more in guest...

I never realized it did this. That would be awesome!

My guess is that there is a lot more bureaucracy at Disney. I've seen it in various companies I work for. It seems to build up over time: Young company - a bit like the wild west. Just get things done ...a little later - someone made a mistake! There ought to be a rule! ...and then rules just...

They're never going to fix the Yeti. How do you put that expense down on a spreadsheet and justify it? Even at some point in the future where they actually have to replace the track (a decade or two away - maybe more; Look at Space Mountain - it's more). If they had to pull apart the entire side...

The fifth key is "virtue signaling". They need to let everyone know: Look at me! I care. The other keys were about how to run the parks: Safety, Courtesy, Show, Efficiency - and they make sense 5th key? virtue signal to the SJWs.

I suppose we'll get used to it. It looks pretty bad looming over the background. It reminds me a LOT of what Disney was trying to get away from with Disneyland and the hotels looming in the distance. - but sight lines no longer matter. Profit does.

She sounded pretty smart for a woman. :) Disney, like many other companies, are part of the Prog cult now and everything must be cleansed and nothing can be forgiven. It's not going to end with Splash Mountain. Song of the South: excepting for the animated parts, and the bits that lead up to...
