This line keeps popping into my mind! 😂 And it does really tie the park together!!

To clarify I’m not saying anyone with a documented disability of any kind should qualify for DAS. I’m saying people with symptoms that do qualify for DAS could potentially bring paperwork to document it, in order to deter cheaters.

Well Google tells me that 1 in 6 children have a developmental disability, so I would expect a lot of IEPs. And again, I know that going with professional paperwork has a lot of issues, but I don’t have any other ideas on how to weed out cheaters.

I agree with what you’re saying and yet I don’t have any other ideas. Maybe if they accepted IEPs that would help with some of the medical accessibility aspect.

I think the purported issue (I'll say purported because it's based on anecdotal reports that I don't claim to have verified) is that Disney is supposedly using shallow metrics to assess complex issues. They are eyeballing a kid or adult on a video screen and if they're someone who can 'pass' as...

Not ghost related exactly and I’m sure many here already know this, but I was surprised when I learned what a “Code A” in the Haunted Mansion is!

I don’t know. I’m a parent, and I say to shove this attraction in the big greige bin the way I do with all the non wooden toys (that bin being HS, of course. 😂)

(Randomly careens by for weekly objection to this project.) I think what perplexes me about this is that Disney has seemingly grown its brand by being so social media savvy / friendly / aware this past decade. Social media today is not my wheelhouse, but I come across the trends from time to...

She actually made that comment in the Disney+ documentary about the Wish. I think it was meant to show her journey and struggles as a point of interest, but yeah, in hindsight that seems like not the best thing to highlight. I hate to say it because I am still a pixie duster for the most part...

Ok, I’m either mixing up cruise ship reviews or read something incorrect then. Wonder why they changed the layout if the motivation wasn’t increased spending at the shops? The old setup sounds like it was very well liked.

I don’t know that AK is underrated so much as it’s harder to get to. It’s the least accessible park by a long shot, in terms of onsite transportation.

I’ve said before, it surprises me that Disney doesn’t do more with projection mapping. I’d love to see a restaurant that incorporates this, like La Petit Chef. Maybe they think it’s a passing trend and won’t age well?

I only know of this stuff via YouTube videos, but I thought what people really liked about the earlier ships was a “neighborhood” type setup with restaurants, bars, shops, etc. As in you went to the bars / lounges and it was like going to a Pleasure Island type district, everything was grouped...

Just my theory, but I think that “A lot of theming” vs. “A little theming” is probably the wrong metric. I said in an earlier comment - a place like Port Orleans can have a ton of theming but still come off as quite subtle because all of the theming is so harmonious. Whereas one random Frozen...

I think what is known with a fair degree of certainty is that DAS usage was increasing. What is not known is the degree to which this was driven by abuse vs. a genuine increase in disabilities / disability awareness / a movement towards self advocacy vs. a “suck it up and put on a happy face”...

I feel like this is a random question, lol, like “Which is a better food - cheese or soup?” I mean - both cheese and soup are pretty awesome, but I like them in different ways at different times. These are fairly dissimilar rides in terms of the time period they were built, vibe, theme...

I agree but I also think this approach requires way more animatronics than Disney is willing to invest in. Even in Tokyo, they don’t do scenes just full of animatronics anymore. Imagine the spooky, tense beginning of Pirates, and then…. you enter a room with Frozen level animatronics. Jack...

Even if not made on a whim, I think it takes discipline over time to make sure you’re using it properly. I’m not entirely clear the ins and outs of DVC but from the little I’ve read I think you have to use it consistently and be a person who would have been staying at full price deluxe resorts...

I think it’s a version of “the house always wins”… ie, if a company is willing to invest a lot in something like DVC, that means ultimately the consumer is paying more than they’re getting back (when compared to regular hotel rentals.) Otherwise they’d have no motivation to invest in such...

A recent podcast on the topic. I always wonder if Rohde is a spiritual seeker type. Whatever his beliefs, I appreciate that he doesn't talk about things like that because Disney is supposed to be for everyone, and he is a public face of Disney in many ways. His travel destinations certainly...
