    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance vs The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

    I'm surprised this poll is currently tied at 50/50. On second thought, this isn't my week for predicting poll results.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Inside Out is probably my favorite Pixar film. And I'm usually a big sequel guy...but I'm straight up terrified of this one not living up to the quality of the original.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    In less than 10 years. Back in 2014 I remember seeing the trailers for Age of Ultron and The Force Awakens at the very same time that you couldn't go to a restaurant and not hear a little girl singing "Let It Go." They were on top of the entertainment world.

    Wish (Walt Disney Animation - November 2023)

    I'm drinking the Kool-Aid and want to see Wish. But when the rain started today and we decided to take the kids to the movies it was Trolls that got our business. The power of Y2K boy band nostalgia won my wife over.

    Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday

    Cross franchise reference... I've got a bad feeling about this.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I agree with basically everything you've said. At least with Star Wars they reacted quickly and put a halt on everything film related at the first sign of issue with the direction they were going down.

    Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

    This looks like AI produced uncanny valley nightmare fuel.

    News PhotoPass Memory Maker price increase October 2023

    Come on...Glad I bought Photopass for the first time during my family trip two weeks ago. All these price increases + the daily reminder to wake up and buy Genie+ each morning are not doing anything to mitigate the feeling of being nickeled and dimed. But at this scale I guess it's more like...

    Disney Stock Approaching 9 Year Low

    Agreed, but part of the problem is 1) it seems they've burned out both the Star Wars and Marvel fanbases 2) they're also too cost conscience to take a risk on something fresh that could breakout.

    Ahsoka D+ Show (Spoiler Thread)

    This is where I'm at. Filoni has proven he knows how to make a compelling Star Wars story. Give him the keys to the creative kingdom. Absolutely have other filmmakers take the reins to direct stories and bring their visions to life, but let Dave oversee it all to ensure there's cohesion and...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I hate that the Starcruiser failed and I want to see Disney invest more in the greater Galaxy's Edge experience. But Star Wars line dancing just so perfectly encapsulates what the Starcruiser got wrong from an experiential perspective.

    Elemental (Pixar - June 2023)

    Just saw it and enjoyed it quite a bit. I really think the trailers did this film a disservice. It's not Pixar's best work, but it's solid.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    “I don't know who you are, or where you came from, but from now on you'll do as I tell you, okay?” "Somebody get this walking carpet out of my way" "I don't know where you get your delusions from, laser brain" "You stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder"

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    It pains me that we could've gotten an upgraded Galaxy's Edge or another attraction (which DHS sorely needs) and instead it was wasted on this.

    Digestive problems at WDW?

    Either got food poisoning from tacos during Flower and Garden or picked up norovirus during my 2018 trip with a few buddies. Hit me on our last day of the trip and it was brutal. What is usually a 2.5 hour drive home took 5 hours with all the stops to barf on the side of the turnpike, ended up...

    What's the outlook on Frontierland?

    I'm still scratching my head at this one. Epcot would've been the perfect home for both Coco and Encanto. Insert Coco into the Mexico pavilion instead of the Gran Fiesta tour. Build Colombia into one of the expansion pads in World Showcase with a Mystic Manor-esque ride around the Casita...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    The Star Wars series followed a different trend in the Original and Prequel Trilogies. The OT and PT had a ~31% drop in box office from the first film to the second film. Then the PT and OT had a 34% and 21% increase respectively from their second films to their third films. Meanwhile the ST...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    You must not follow Twitter. :) These are intertwined. What's the point in park reservations if you've restored full day park hopping? Scrap them both together. The master plan wasn't really evident for the general public till the end of The Avengers, when that post credits scene got everybody...
