I’m not buying the ‘it would be too popular for Mexico to handle the crowds’ argument. There’s no way Coco is more popular and more of a ‘must do’ then Frozen, and El Rio de Tres Caballeros actually boasts better capacity then Frozen in the first place. Perhaps someone ran some surveys and...

Looking throughout the history of tourism in Florida, that’s a dangerous assumption to hold.

Incredibly bad show. If this was the only option, the entire attraction should just have been thrown into rehab until it could be fixed.

This is a very significant piece of business lost, on top almost every aspect of corporate travel still shut down for the rest of the year. I can see from the tone of responses here that many say ‘good riddance!’, but the reality is groups like this contributed to Disney’s bottom line in a...

It’s important to consider the economy as a factor in the driver of travel downturn as well. Yes, there’s great opportunity for those that can afford it to take advantage of discounts, but there’s many that didn’t have a very good 2020 financially and will spend 2021 either recovering from that...

I think it’s reasonable to use the FotLK announcement as sort of ‘setting an expectation’ of how much lead time Disney intends to announce the return of its flagship shows with. I would be surprised to see any restart of anything significant without at least a four month lead time. Maybe more...

If I were a betting man, I wouldn’t put money on Water starting construction within the next 12 months, let alone wrapping it up...

From a distancing perspective, it will be interesting to see what sort of capacity the general public limits itself to even when no policy is in place. I’m thinking that my ‘personal space’ buffer will be a little bigger than it was pre-covid. Where I can control it, like in a line or spacing...

If you want to see some insane, over-engineered interchanges... look at some of the new FDoT construction over on I-75. The ramps at I-75 / SR50 just finished a multi-year project, and now the northbound exit ramp has been pushed back almost a full mile from the interchange and passes enough...

...and interestingly enough, the same company that had most of the Reflections of Earth barges either cut into scrap or sold off at auction within weeks of the last show.

Like any large organization it depends on the internal politics and budgets related to specific projects. Something like Splash is clearly coming from the very top of the organization. Canceling refurbs or scaling back existing projects are probably the result of some management layer being...

After all these years, I'm still personally offended from the PR line that Lights of Winter was removed because they were "obsolete technology". :rolleyes:

Literally anywhere with a water view. The music originates from the barges themselves, and they have a pretty effective sound system that can easily be heard from the top of the Contemporary and just about anywhere else I can think of along the resort waterfronts. The barges are far enough...

Iger’s legacy was supposed to translate into immediate political success. Covid obviously put a speed bump on that plan, but despite knocking on a lot of doors lately he’s still not seeing any open right up.

They can use whatever marketing verbiage they want... the headlines, tweets, and general public perception will always be "Disney is opening a Star Wars hotel." That's what they will always be fighting an uphill battle against, even if they never ever use the word 'hotel'... What the words...

I stand corrected... Missed it by a few months. Hard to believe the park opened with so little! The first time I went was probably that September or October, so Indy was there 'at the beginning' for me.

The rumors around Indy go back almost the whole way back to its opening.... and it’s the only opening day Studios attraction left.

Sometimes things like that trigger a sort of ‘something is off’ subconscious unbalanced perception, even if it’s not blindingly obvious. But this... from center stage World Showcase Plaza... is pretty blindingly obvious. It may be less of an issue viewing from elsewhere around the lagoon, but...

My wife and I were recently driving in from the 429... with the cladding on, this thing is very prominent and dominates the view heading east on BVD over World Drive. Her: “what in the world is THAT ugly thing and when did that show up??” Me: “thats the new Swan and Dolphin tower... they’re...

The offset from lagoon centerline is just another log on the fire of truly baffling design going on here... Does anyone know why it has to play off-center? I’m assuming there’s a calculated reason, because it’s inconceivable that it’s just a ‘whoopsie’ with how much lagoon infrastructure work...
