    What good things are happening at Walt Disney World?

    This might be a good poll question (for those that still visit, what are your top reasons.) For our family, it’s still really hard to beat Disney when traveling with a small child and elderly relatives. Granted, my little guy has sensory issues so the parks can be overwhelming, but they’re...

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    What worries me a little about this is that there are reports that money is moving away from dining experiences to LL, and Disney sees this as a positive trend. Understandable on their part considering the margins, but the dynamic is worrisome. Basically deprioritizing enjoyable extras that add...

    I really like Joe Rohdes because he is like a bridge between some of my interests. Disney, philosophy (armchair Reddit philosophy in my case, I don't have any formal education in that area), and I'm kind of assuming spiritual practice (he doesn't talk about this directly but I assume it informs...

    I don’t think he flouted any rules because he was never a CM. It does genuinely surprise me that in 2024, people are still bothered by something like this. Personally, seeing someone who works in a creative career with a bunch of earrings is not something I would think twice about. But, I don’t...

    The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, What the Heck?

    Wow that is really strange. There are so many treats available nearby, not seeing people paying those prices for a single slice of cake!

    The Cake Bake Shop Bakery, What the Heck?

    Is it for certain that the prices mentioned are for a slice of cake and not the actual cake itself? The way the menu was phrased, my impression was that was the price for an entire cake.

    I think there are definitely some generational differences, but honestly, they’re so much more pronounced in other places that I think relatively speaking, I notice them less at Disney. Example - I was at Appleby’s with a couple of coworkers for dinner and drinks a little while back. When we...

    Quality of available merchandise significantly reduced?

    A lot of the stuff is fine but overpriced, but for specific products, yeah, I’ve noticed issues. We got this monorail for my son like two years ago, and it worked for about an hour before never working again. Ok, I mean, that happens but - they are still selling the same frigging broken design...

    Cast Member Standards

    I would be curious to see numbers on approximate total cast members working in the 80s vs today. The number must have increased exponentially. Combined with so many other parks opening and expanding in Orlando, it’s kind of amazing they can stay staffed at all. My money is on Disney looking to...

    Do you mean me specifically or in general? I don’t feel I’ve treated anyone badly on this board, that I can recall. I went through my Debate Bro phase earlier in life, lol. (I’m not actually a bro but this seems to be largely a male pursuit so there’s not a name for females.) Somewhere on an...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I get that opinions will differ. I don’t think an online dogpile is merited over someone sharing a rumor people think is false. Especially if the posters intent is unknown (ie, this may have been someone having an uncharacteristically tough time, not lying for the heck of it.) Others seem to...

    If by “everything” you mean “rumors about theme park rides”, cool. Nothing wrong with a bombastic style of speech when chatting for pure entertainment value.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Well if you’re not thinking clearly, the question really doesn’t apply. And if you’re misinformed, again, you wouldn’t realize it. I have no problem with people proclaiming they’re sure just sure a ride is happening. I mean in the end it’s a theme park ride, they’re not giving medical advice or...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    So if someone says they have insider information, they are likely either: 1. Correct 2. Misinformed 3. Not thinking clearly for whatever reason 4. Lying Those are the logical options, to my mind. Based on what Henry said, I’m not ready to jump to the idea that he was deliberately lying. Maybe...

    Wait what? I’d say it’s fairly certain that if you are ill-informed you don’t know it. Most people don’t go around believing falsehoods on purpose. As far as “confused”, I meant that as a stand-in for “having a difficult time but let’s leave it at that because I don’t like having my posts...

    Lying is about intent. Unless you read minds you can’t know who is lying, who is over excited about something they legitimately heard, and who is confused. It seems futile to attempt to monitor volitional lying on a message board. (Although fact check, sure. That’s always a good idea.)

    Eh… presumably none of us are psychic. I don’t know what his motivation was, especially in those last few posts, which were uncharacteristic. I’ll leave it at that. Like I said, it seemed like he needed a break as of his last few posts. Before that though? I have no idea if he’s a 55-year-old...

    I liked Henry and am sorry he’s not posting here anymore (To be fair, by those last few posts it seemed like something was going on and he needed a break. But for the most part he seemed like an enjoyable person to talk to.) I don’t know, I guess I’m in the camp of - if someone thinks they have...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Sure, but I think what people in general are pointing to is the fact that Walt was vision oriented, not profit oriented. I’m not even saying there’s anything wrong with being profit oriented to an extent. Arguably, a Walt without his counterbalance in Roy is a Walt we never would have heard of...
