Wonder how much these responses would shift in a different economic environment, where inflation wasn’t such a worry. The downside of dynamic pricing is obviously high prices at some times, but I think people used to find a lot of fun in seeking out deals when prices went down. Post Halloween...

So many. Please excuse the long post. - I think Journey Into The Imagination is a cute ride (looks left, looks right, ducks for cover.) - None of the classic snacks at Disney World do anything for me. Not even the cheeseburger spring rolls, Gaston’s cinnamon rolls, and certainly not Dole Whip...

For a long time I wouldn’t travel anywhere without an umbrella stroller, because sometimes that was definitely the only way we were getting home or back to the car! Not because he loved strollers, but because I could at least buckle him in and he wouldn’t escape.

I think taking something from a toddler is subtly different than waiting in a line. And anecdotally, I've never known a toddler who wasn't really weird about cups, lol! It has to be this color cup, this type of cup, or they want to carry the cup around constantly - I feel like it's this whole...

I’m not clear on how much surefire usable land they have. I’ve read differing things on these boards. If it’s somewhat finite, I can understand the desire to dole it out slowly and only for the biggest projects, like Villains land. Also not sure how much staffing shortages are a concern. The...

I get the corporations have to be profit focused, but I am quite hopeful that there is a genuine love of creativity and “What makes Disney, Disney” at the Disney company. They’re not going to get everything perfect the first time and they’ll have their missteps, but I still feel like that Disney...

A lot kinda do, yeah. I mean not in an intellectual way - of course they couldn’t define the word “line” for you - but if mom or dad is in line at Target, they get that they have to wait. I also assume part of it is about the level of distress and dysregulation the child is experiencing, and...

I'm an Xennial - Song of the South was around when I was a kid (I don't think we owned the video so probably on cable,) but to me and my siblings it was definitely a D-list movie, if that. No offense to anyone who worked on it, it was made in a different time - but as a kid I had little idea...

Wait what? I’m sorry that’s a bridge too far… 😂 Kidding, kidding. (I think…)

I believe the connection is primarily with Walt himself, who was presumably a big fan of Tom Sawyer. I did a quick Google search which said that Tom Sawyer Island is the only attraction that Walt personally designed. Also saw speculation that his love of Tom Sawyer was due to his time in...

I can see that perspective for sure. As long as you’re not being micromanaged or dealing with unrealistic expectations, getting feedback can be helpful, especially when you’re new to the workforce and trying to find your footing. Regarding being super independent at work - 90% of it is probably...

That sounds like a great approach!

I was kind of between Gen X and the Millennials, back when we had latchkey kids, lots of aimless time during childhood, and very questionable educational standards. 😆 Honestly some of these kids coming up today who walk in the door with their 20 color coded spreadsheets and time management app...

One salient point I haven't seen mentioned is that Florida has extremely strict laws regarding immigrant labor. While I don't think this would impact Disney directly, when other businesses that employ undocumented workers no longer have that option, it spreads the available pool of employees in...

To my mind so much comes back to the "Is this a place I want to be transported to?" test. I wouldn't mind a bright, cartoony aesthetic if they built something like Vanellope's Candy Land, but I have no real desire to vacation in Springfield or Andy's backyard.

I’m undecided if society is getting meaner or it’s actually getting kinder so the meanness stands out more. Maybe both? Anecdotal, but I worked in restaurants through college and I got yelled at by drunk people on the regular. At that point in life I was able to roll my eyes at them, make some...

I mean that’s the thing though - Disney is in the business of selling you a fantasy, right? While it would admittedly be hilarious if the ads portrayed a realistic Disney visit (soft music plays and the camera zooms in to the front of the castle to show a toddler beating his brother with a...

There’s been some pendulum swing on that one recently due to theft, but I think in the end you’re right. This has probably been more than balanced out by the number of delivery drivers or “drive up pickup” delivery people needed. I know Target is doing a delivery service now and it seems like in...

I have a feeling that depends on the amount of competition that exists for a job. There are plenty of areas where there are shortages, and the people working those jobs are scrambling with everyone else to find ways to fill in the gaps (I work in such an area and honestly it really makes me...

I really enjoy The Simpsons, but I can’t say Springfield is a place I ever dreamed of being transported to. I think the whole point is that The Simpsons is a sardonic, caricatured look at life - not an idealized escape from the daily grind. That works great as a tv show, not as a travel destination.
