My 90yo grandmother called this evening and let me know she was able to get her first Covid vaccine this afternoon at Publix... my aunt snagged a appointment for her on a availability drop earlier in the week. She was very excited and reported no issues at all, they were very organized and she...

If you had to pick a kid-friendly IP with a history of making adult subjects accessible to all without offense that’s under the Mouse’s umbrella, what other one would there be? Bonus points they are already proven MK residents. Even under Jim, the Muppets had their misfires. Goes with the...

I think it's pretty interesting that you still can't buy a new WDW annual pass at the moment.

As much as I'm a fan of Hamilton... If the choices were a between a Lin-esque take on the show or The Muppets facilitating, I think the Muppets have broader appeal and are a much better choice.

Honestly it makes perfect sense from Disney's perspective. IP tie-in to a legacy show, coupled with the levity of the Muppets to defuse the political hot potato the show has become. As long as it's done respectfully I have no real issue with it. The "Great Moments" show outside the theater was...

You are assuming that every show that is currently dark is so solely due to safety concerns and not other factors. Like, for instance, money.

After we had this dialogue this morning, I went and saw this on WaPo this evening, perspective from a county manager in Lee county (should be paywall free): https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/09/covid-vaccine-rollout-florida-challenges/?arc404=true ... so, if it sounds like everyone...

My biggest problem is not necessarily the variety of options (walk up / book appointment, etc), but the fact that there is no one central site coordinating that information and availability. The county health department websites are mostly dense and unhelpful. I’ve tried to assist several (not...

This has got to take the cake for most convoluted distribution plan. This is what happens when you let every county do whatever they want... and people wonder why there’s confusion in Florida - in the same media market, there can be 5 (or more) wildly differing procedures, plus even different...

... is it a ‘tail’, or a ‘finger’?

It would be great PR, but Disney hasn’t been proactive at all since the beginning of this - why would they start now? After all, the marketing department has some new paint jobs to promote, they don’t think they need the PR help.

We spend a great deal of time here on this Disney fan board analyzing every action and statement... every word... made by the executives of the company, especially those of the CEO and chairman of the board. We speak often of Iger’s legacy, of Eisner’s failings, of Walker’s leadership in dark...

Words matter. They have mattered from the beginning of and in continuing regards to the coronavirus response, they have mattered in the way we recognize and celebrate all of humanity, and they deeply mattered yesterday. Everything. Because all of the words matter.

Has there been any significant capital project in WDW history that was championed from the parks VP level? With a few possible exceptions, the execs in those positions largely see them as stepping stones to elsewhere in executive leadership and don’t make waves. It’s just what the position has...

In any production environment, LED screens of this nature require almost daily adjustment as individual panels wiggle loose, color balance drifts, or connections fail. The screens are made up of individual 'modules' of pixels, and can be swapped out individually pretty quickly once you identify...

Too bad life isn’t Rollercoaster Tycoon... I always used to build first aid buildings right outside my top attractions. Disney could pop a vaccine tent up at the exit from Space Mountain and get our numbers heading into orbit pretty quickly.

Orange County and many area schools aren’t back until tomorrow, coupled with the first day for many AP blackouts being lifted after the holiday...

I unfortunately have several anecdotal stories much like this from friends and family. Including some well reasoned apolitical types. And among those that do want to get the vaccine, they are waiting for their invitation... which doesn’t exist obviously... and I’ve had to get them hooked up...

They don't. 'Flow' isn't a concern in todays WDW. The GF and Poly didn't used to feel close at all with a large amount of undeveloped shoreline in between them... again, recent land use choices changing originally intended design.

I just tried to pull a table service res on a random weekday (2/11/21) with a 7pm close - can get a seating at 6:55 at Biergarten or 6:45 at Coral Reef, but nothing else available after 6:30, and pretty limited dinner options overall (a handful of 5pm openings, nothing available at all for...
