    News Crossroads Plaza Faces Demoliton

    Yes the life boats are yellow after Disney did a great deal and testing and documenting with test life boats. They did the work and showed the new color to meet the needs of the Coast Guard etc. Not like they strong armed it and said we want it or else. They proved their position, did the work...

    News Coronado Springs Expansion - Gran Destino Tower

    I'm not sure if they will need another pool. This tower is really targeted for the conference going crowd and is also going in place physically and capacity wise where other buildings were.

    Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    Thanks the most awesome aerial photography work of @bioreconstruct we have this: Looks like they are going to be adding something to the roof. Perhaps more ventilation or air conditioning for all the new projectors?

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Very true. But would they spend the money clearing more space to store dirt (that is currently stored it would seem on a future parking area that is in no rush to be done quite yet) to just then clear another area entirely for the hotel? And you are so right more permits to come and I am sure...

    LA TIMES: Walt Disney World plans to deploy driverless shuttles

    Oh I do often and in certain conditions for the moment the current sensor packages on these vehicles can't beat human eyes. They are so close, but there are some remaining issues they are working. Great thing about Elon Musk he talks about it all the time and is pretty upfront with the issues.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Hmmmmm this site would make sense and explain why they stockpiled the dirt where they did on the parking lot site. Used the conveyor belt to get it across the street and close to where you want to put it. Also get the secondary benefit of parking lot compaction. The area covered by the current...

    LA TIMES: Walt Disney World plans to deploy driverless shuttles

    While I completely agree with the sentiment of tomorrow being bright and that awesome achievements in science and technology happen everyday, I think some real and present challenges need to be discussed that bring down the tint level in the rose colored glasses that I too find myself wearing at...

    Len Testa Crowd Analysis

    I would NOT say there isn't an exponential relationship between attendance and wait times. There is a far more complex relationship then that. Prior to reaching the maximum capacity provided for that time period on a specific day that is definitely not the case. Once capacity is reached then...

    Len Testa Crowd Analysis

    Well that and maybe attendance changed or not. Disney is the only one who knows the entire answer. Well I would argue that Disney should be walking the perfect staffing tight rope as a stock holder. I believe if they don't do a good job of that and get it wrong then that is obviously bad. I...

    Len Testa Crowd Analysis

    I agree people don't follow numbers and models and have human behavior and it is true if a ride has a long wait time they will shuttle themselves elsewhere and we know Disney manipulates wait times to spread people out using this behavior to their advantage. The problem, however, is if on a...

    Len Testa Crowd Analysis

    @lentesta First as you have said obviously something changed to make your modeling (which is wonderful work and a great job that you have done) off this January and February. Now getting down to cause obviously gets tricky as there are a number of inputs. So you have shown that capacity was...

    Third parking garage coming to Disney Springs

    Perhaps and maybe won't have as unique ramps etc. Precast's do fly up so this should be pretty quick and may have been part of the decision. They know they need the spaces. I do wonder if all of the parking space finding technology will be absent. The cast in place allowed hiding all of that...

    Third parking garage coming to Disney Springs

    Also interesting they are going pre-cast with this one versus the mainly cast in place of the previous two.

    New Star Wars Fireworks Show - 'Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular'

    Did notice on the wonderful @bioreconstrut's photos of SWL and TSL construction photos some work on what looks like could be gas line area. Perhaps the work could be limiting gas supply and thus flamethrowers temporarily off? Jan 14th (zoomed in and from what I can see it looks like a gas main...

    News Disney to pilot registered nurse first-aid centers at Walt Disney World Resort hotels

    In addition to being a great new service to differentiate their resorts, the additional angle could very well be a data gathering effort. It is a great way to find out the types and numbers of illnesses and injuries that people seek care for. Of course they get partial information now, perhaps...

    I have the same question as @jrhwdw has about why the higher and large pyro was cut down. I know @marni1971 had previously said it wasn't just the fire risk from over the summer. I did see this video on Youtube (not sure on the timing of it or if there were other such events). Wonder if they...
