In what way does Epic Universe have a theme? What is it even supposed to be? At what point does the word become meaningless?

And that's why I'm not going to stereotype an entire generation - for better or worse. You and I are about the same age and have pretty similar stories. That's part of why it bothers me when people look down upon young people today for being vocal about issues that people should be vocal...

You are aware there's a difference between children and young adults in the workforce, right?

As has already been pointed out numerous times in this thread. Real purchasing power has declined since you entered the work force. You almost certainly made more - and hence had "more toys" than your peers in today's generation. It is a fact about our economy that young people today are more...

Different people handle and budgets apply to refurbishments and major expenditures (like a full retheme).

And when you show that me that person - I'll be just critical of them for whatever their sins may be. But I'm not going to go on a Disney forum and proudly put others down - certainly not for the tremendous offense of 'lacking historical perspective'. To get this conversation back on topic...

I get the sarcasm. It's just not appropriate. If the worst thing that you can say about someone is that they're too optimistic, that they are naive for believing things can change, or that they're wrong for believing that they can change it - if you make sarcastic comments and act like it's all...

I'll hold you to that. And buy you a beverage of your choice! :)

This is not correct. The Toy Story Lot would be zoned for theme park (and other uses) going forward. What would change is the elimination of a conditional use permit that currently applies to that land. "Disneyland Forward" really is just a marketing ploy for that zoning change. In the abstract...

The name is based on the book and not the movie.

As far as self-awareness (or the lack thereof) is concerned, this speaks for itself.

The US market probably can't support more than two resorts. There's no doubt that if Disney expands further, it will be in Anaheim or Orlando. A new resort in the middle of the country simply takes guests away from Anaheim or Orlando. And no, it doesn't reduce risk in any meaningful way. A...

This is a marketing ploy for a changing in a zoning ordinances. That's it.

Yes, it's terrible that young people are concerned with solving these problems instead of leaving them for future generations.

Public policy polling consistently shows what people mean by that. It's basically favoring something like the left graph (below) over the right. That doesn't mean that the left tax rates are what people prefer, but that people generally want marginal tax brackets to change according to these curves.

I wouldn't be so optimistic. Disney didn't deliver on 3/5 of the examples of them "delivering" that you gave.

I really appreciate the lengthy post, but I don't think any of us are able to make that claim one way or the other. Since Disney hasn't pursued a third park - yet - it seems that they don't think the ROI is there now, in comparison to other avenues of expansion. But I don't think there's any...

A park on the TSL site probably looks like a upscaled version of what is being built in Tokyo as "Fantasy Springs". Show buildings surrounding open space. Minimal on-site and shared off-site infrastructure. Possibly a hotel acting as a visual barrier and buffer.

No, I really don't think it would achieve the same goal. A third gate will generate more revenue than expanding the existing parks, but also represents a significantly higher upfront investment. On the contrary, failure to invest in a third park is short-sighted. Most of the DLR's problems...
