I guess I’m different! Went over Christmas and was underwhelmed. The food was nothing special and the screens were ok but far short of what I’d hoped. I’ll hazard a guess that little kids—none in our party—will quickly be bored by them. Lots of empty tables at lunch, which I assume was a...

Couldn't find a more recent thread, so I'm bumping this one from the summer. We stayed Dec 20 to Dec 30 and the mousekeeping we received was minimal. We typically had to request service to receive any. I was told at one point that sheets were changed only every eight days. We coped fine and...

Yeah, strong endorsement of the “more enjoyable and less stressful” point.

I guess so but it certainly makes it easier for the average person who doesn’t want to ride the E and D tickets only during early opening or extra hours. Relative to the total cost of a vacation it’s not a huge bite. Not crazy about having to pay as opposed to the previous system but given it’s...

This surprises me. We were at WDW Dec 20-30 and relied heavily on Genie+. With it, we never waited more than 20 mins and usually much less. The standby lines were typically at least an hour and often much longer for E and D ticket rides. We’re a group that doesn’t hit the parks at opening so I...

With respect to parks being closed to hotel guests, we just ran into this, albeit in an unusual situation. One of our sons was a last minute addition to our group. We got him a room at the YC but weren’t able to get him a ticket for one of the two days he would be with us because we were told...

This was what I ended up having to do. But how can they design an app that requires a search for such an important thing? Ouch!

The app is just amazingly, stupefyingly awful. They load a lot of crap on the home screen like ads for attractions, wallpaper downloads, and so on, while making you search for My Plans. Don't they ever get feedback on this stuff before they release it? The first thing most people with...

True ... although our family has found that walk a little taxing on a hot day.

Disney lost $1.58 billion in fiscal year 2020.

That would be great if it happens. Love to see Imagination get an overhaul, but not sure the likely changes from a Coco overlay would necessarily be an improvement on The Three Caballeros, which I actually kind of like.

I'd say your grading is a little tough on some of these, notably FOP. And they get some credit for Pandora and Galaxy's Edge being pretty impressive areas even apart from the rides. But I agree that their projects have been taking far too long to complete and they have been spending far too much...

Difficult to second guess a company that has had the success Disney has had until recently, but you do wonder about what appears to be their complacency in the face of Universal opening Epic Universe in 2025. @lentesta made the point in another thread that it doesn't appear that Disney will be...

Do NOT give them ideas!

That makes sense ... unfortunately. The surprising thing to me is that they don't seem to be responding to Universal's opening a third gate. I suppose if Tron and Guardians are both home runs, they may continue to bring in crowds for awhile. But to have had nothing significant opening during the...

Yikes! I didn't realize that it was that bad.

Uh oh. I'm assuming from this comment that there's not much in the pipeline. Any previously announced projects still likely--Mary Poppins in the UK pavilion? Main Street Theater?

Yes, I don't think there is another firm out there large enough to buy out Disney without running afoul of antitrust regulation. Although, it's worth remembeing that Iger did write in his memoir that if Steve Jobs had lived he believes Disney and Apple would have merged. But with Apple having...

Last I looked, I think they had Tony’s and the Golden Horseshoe at, or near, the bottom.

I thought the Main Street Theater was (implicitly) canceled pre-Covid. Good to hear if it wasn't because that could mean that it's still possible they might build it. Or am I dreaming?
