    News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

    I’m not sure why asbestos would be such a show stopper. If you’re in any building that is over 50 years old, chances are pretty high it’s all around you. Abatement, while not cheap, is not prohibitively expensive, and is fairly straight forward. Source: see my previous post about currently...

    News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

    As I am knee deep in the renovation of a 70 year old commercial building, I can, unfortunately, confirm. To borrow a phrase, there are: 1. Lies 2. Damn Lies 3. As-Built Documentation

    News New Changes Coming to the Disney Look 2021

    I really have nothing to add to this conversation other than to lament the fact that the phrase “I graduated in 2019” makes me commiserate with Methuselah. As you were.

    News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for 2025 Resort Guests

    Any shareable hints on what those changes could be?

    News Walt Disney World Adds Water Park Perk for 2025 Resort Guests

    Not wanting to bury the lede … which DAS changes would those be?

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I would posit that increased DAS use is also a direct result of G+. Charging for what used to be free encourages people to find alternatives, both legitimate and illegitimate.

    Light bars on Dinosaur's Time Rovers.

    I believe those are to detect guests trying to leave the Time Rovers during the ride. Which, if true, means this issue became so prevalent that they had to spend $ on this system. 🤦‍♂️

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I know Mobile Ordering has its challenges, but I can’t imagine it’s worse than waiting in a line like this.

    News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

    Love the figure. But definitely disappointed in the placement. One of the most effective, subtle build-up moments of that area is the air blowing on riders as the GH says “Shhhh …. Listen….” Now, I’m worried some of that effectiveness is lost due to Hatbox’s appearance/lighting, as well as...

    News Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2023 Earnings Results Webcast

    A “gradual increase” is literally the exact opposite of “turbocharged.”

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Saw this novelty desk sign and thought it would be a good purchase for Disney when they re-open Starcruiser in its new form, whatever that is. Maybe they could even sell them in the gift shop.

    News Availability alerts and date range search coming to Walt Disney World dining reservations

    Maybe I’m overthinking this, but won’t this make it *harder* to get reservations? I have no idea the use rate for the third party dining reservation systems (maybe @lentesta could fill us in), but I can’t imagine it’s a huge percentage of guests. The only reason they work is when ressies open up...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Time to repost my Venn diagram: In my personal situation, I am fully in the top two circles, having watched the OT in the theaters, bought the action figures, own the movies in Beta, VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. But while I could easily afford the cost, the thought of role playing for...

    News All-Day Park Hopping returns in early 2024

    They don’t want to get rid of it now, but needed a “good news” distraction on a day full of price increases..

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    While we’d all love more details, some of us were around for the announcements related to “The Disney Decade” under Eisner. I’m still waiting for the Russia and Switzerland pavilions, a new circle-vision in MK, a Muppet Movie Ride, a Roger Rabbit ride, Dick Tracy’s Crimestoppers, etc. I’m just...

    News Disney World's Magic Kingdom is experiencing widescale attraction closures this morning due to a bear

    I’m actually kinda surprised there haven’t been more bear sightings on property. Where there’s food, there’s bears. And correct me if I’m wrong, but I think there might possibly be some food on property. Shoot, I live in the middle of a highly populated, high traffic county in a suburb of a...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    My favorite DHS day from my recent trip was when Rise, TSMM, MMRR, and RnR were all closed at the same time, mid day. Good times.

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    For folks wondering "Will changing to Disney songs really increase attendance?" ... it's not just about attendance. The tweet below is about replacing Dinosaur, but it is probably applicable to CBJ as well. I wonder what the tax and royalties implications are from playing Disney songs in CBJ?

    News “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

    I thoroughly enjoy Bug. Sad to see it go. But, like Alien Encounter, it was probably doomed by too many complaints from the parents of crying children. And once again, Disney does something less objectionable than a previous trial balloon, and it’s counted as a win.

    News TRON Lightcycle Run Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    Ops is definitely keeping a tight reign on Tron, I’m guessing because of the minimal indoor queue space, which seems woefully small. Yesterday, our boarding group was called several hours behind the recent average, due to several stoppages (over 2 hours worth according to the above post from the...
