    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I think a better way to look at it rather than a “Universal is better than Disney” or vice versa. Is Universal is in a state of large growth while Disney is in a state of maintaining. These are very different things. Disney has had parks and hotels built out for some time now and now they’re at...

    What is going on with the design of Animal Kingdom Lodge?

    I used to work there and because I managed valet at both locations I spent lots of time everyday going back and forth from Jambo to Kidani. That walk definitely wasn’t fun, but was good exercise. They started running a shuttle pretty much permanently between the two resorts. So unless that...

    Monorail Lime finally out of shop — Blue deltas are back!

    That’s not the way it’s done. If something in a car can’t be cleaned up in a minute or less, the custodial cast member will usually just ride in the train and clean while it’s in motion. Typically one lap is enough.

    New CM Uniforms across HS

    It’s not a costume, it’s a uniform.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I've seen where others have matched up details in the art to details in the Nintendo model. Seems pretty definite that that's Nintendo.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Yes I’m well aware of Grand Californian having an entrance. I also don’t think that entrance gives Universal some sort of edge over Disney. It definitely will give that hotel an edge. I was mostly pointing out that the Star Wars hotel isn’t really comparable to either Grand Californian or...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I’m not a fan of the name either, but I think it’s better than Fanrastic Worlds. I’m not too concerned overall though, the name is ultimately kind of pointless.

    That a very specialized hotel only serving a small number. Also it won’t have its own entrance, it will have transportation to the park.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    They were working on facial recognition for theme park access a while back. Perhaps this is the reason? It would make sense in this instance to make it pretty seamless to walk from land to land without having to scan tickets.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Yeah that’s my point it’s just not as interesting. To me the whole point of theme parks is to transport you to interesting worlds and experiences. I think DAK serves its purpose very well, but it’s just not the kind of place people want to visit like Diagon Alley or Batuu from the new Star Wars...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Would it make you happy if I said WDW instead of Disney? I simply acknowledged that I haven’t experienced every attraction you mentioned and that my opinion may not extend to those.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I’m not sure what you’re getting at, things take time to build. I also don’t think the T2-3D replacement is a big priority. It’s definitely not going to be a big game changer attraction or land. Universal has already proven they can bring the quality now they just need to bring the quantity...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    It definitely isn’t when Disney is routing the DME busses. Otherwise it’s kind of 50/50 which way is faster.

    Taco Bell; yay or nay?

    MexiMelts were the best thing they had! They just recently took them off the menu. I still order them by modifying the cheesy roll up.

    CM Attacked at ToT

    To be fair I do like exploring technicalities, so I appreciate the perspective you’re offering. Just in practical practice when the police are initially on the scene they very much leave it up to the victim if they want charges to be persued. Much of what you’re discussing would come a few steps...

    CM Attacked at ToT

    Yes eventually it’s up to the prosecutor, but in practice this is not how the process starts. The police will ask the victim if they would like to press charges. If yes they'll investigate and start the process to get things going in the court, if not they don’t really do anything and move on...

    It is 100% up to the CM.

    CM Attacked at ToT

    Yep Disney has a very strict system and they don’t seem to have a good way to implement common sense when mistakes are made. I know someone who was fired for being pregnant because of errors like that.

    CM Attacked at ToT

    I think the point to consider isn’t what the buttons on that podium do, but rather the guest didn’t know and pressed them anyway. It’s the behavior not the literal actions and what the buttons do. A guest that would do this would probably also do it on the load platform if a different issue...

    CM Attacked at ToT

    Yeah the issue I think needs to be adddessed is Disney actively persuading employees not to press charges. They are supposed to advise employees of their rights and not retaliate against them if they choose to press charges. That is not at all what happens at Disney and contributes to a less...
