    New speciality cruise takes guests around World Showcase Lagoon

    The questions that I have about this are: 1) How close to the shore will the boat travel, and 2) How will guests partaking of this 'addition' behave while on the boat?... http://inspiringscience.net/2013/08/14/no-secrets-by-the-lakeside-how-water-affects-sound/ This could be why this...

    Thomas Mazloum named Senior Vice President, Resorts and Transportation Operations at WDW

    Let's take this potential positive further.... They are putting a person with experience with an ultra luxury line on top of Resorts AND Transportation. Transportation is part of the Experience as well. And in many cases it has been an unpleasant one. We'll find out.....

    One thing that the Market is telling us (besides it's not good for your half of your business to be staring at Deteriorating Fundamentals) is that: Customers Want Experiences Not Plush While Brick & Mortar Retail is taking it on the chin right now, the Airlines, even with all the bad press...

    American Idol Experience To Close

    I saw a Seeking Alpha article suggesting that Ryan Seacrest joining Kelly Ripa is very much connected to Idol going to ABC. The article was from yesterday, when ABC/Idol wasn't a done deal yet. A pronounced negative about the Studios in the relatively recent history is the garish promotion of...

    https://www.si.com/college-football/2017/05/08/power-five-tv-rights-deals-amazon-google Very interesting.... If streaming ever became broadcast quality/dependability, it looks like Big Tech may bid for live product, and have the ability to monetize it in a way that traditional media never could...

    http://fortune.com/2016/01/15/espn-standalone-streaming/ Based on BTIG, it's about 57% who would be willing to see ESPN leave their set if it meant saving $8 on their monthly bill. The percent who would pay $20 (perhaps enough to make up for those who don't want to pay anything) is in the...

    There's nothing jaded about it. Most companies welcome their shareholders to the Corporate Office or a place nearby. And they keep it there. Easier to go to every year. Shareholders can tour the offices or directly see an aspect of the investment in action. One thing a person can never say...

    News Caribbean Beach Expansion

    A person who does an aggressive touring schedule and could care less about anything except a room that's the size of a Disney Moderate and wants to stay within the bubble might make out here... For the rest... probably best to look elsewhere for their resort needs. The M.A.S.H. dining tent...

    Many of those laid off were under contract. For them to truly come off the books, they have to seek employment before the contract expires. The 'savings' may be so marginal that it wasn't worth it. If they have positions that need to be replaced with new talent then you have to hire that...

    Here's the list of $DIS last 5 stockholders meeting locations: Denver Chicago San Francisco Portland Oregon Phoenix None are backwaters. Neither are any in a location where there are they have either corporate offices or a major land footprint, or anywhere in the Eastern US Timezone. Here's...

    Besides THOSE stockrenters, there are those that if they had a choice of the stock A) hitting $145 to $150 in 18 months, then headed back down to the $40 to $60 range and staying there for 20 years or B) having it naturally consolidate, then do a steady march higher and be at $200 in 10 years...

    Modified Monorail routes in effect during late May

    I wish TDO would treat the monorail more like an attraction and not just a mode of transportation...

    Modified Monorail routes in effect during late May

    If you wanted to do a mid day Hotel tour (into some less crowded air conditioning, and perhaps an adult beverage without having to reserve for TS if you are so inclined) it would be very inconvenient to do the full 3 hotel tour.

    LA TIMES: Walt Disney World plans to deploy driverless shuttles

    I'm sure Tesla would love to be a part of it... I'm also sure that GM would at least equally like them kept out, especially since they must want THEIR tech in this area showed off... IMHO, the only way for Tesla to be part of the party is either 1) GM ends their sponsorship or 2) GM & Tesla...

    Disco Shaman Watch 2017

    Jokes aside, there is something TDO can do about this.... I recall multiple people having avatars that showed what they should do... But as far as *this* animatronic, I suspect the involvement of a certain person will use his influence to make sure it's properly addressed....

    Modified Monorail routes in effect during late May

    After looking at the front page article and the comments.... During the affected time, one who is staying at the Poly or GF who are going to the MK can ride their regular monorail as normal, and if they are returning to their resort, there are less stops... If you are going to Epcot, you are...

    ESPN is letting go of quality reporters that are on the books and may very well stay on the books (decreasing the value of the product offered) to appease The Street (specifically, the short term 'stockrenters' - not the long term holders). Parallels can be made to how $DIS has operated WDW....

    Is it *any* job, or just a job in the industry (sports media/journalism)? And is ESPN on the hook for the difference if their job is for less pay? That said, I'm sure they want them all to go away, get jobs that get $DIS off the financial hook, and *show their real employers (the Street) how...
