This is/was an incredibly dumb move. It takes an attraction with relatively good appeal across multiple demographics and shoe horns in a kid friendly theme with an IP that isn’t even that popular with kids today. Make no mistake, I’m not a muppet fan, but I’d have supported them getting a...

I dont think AC is really much of an issue. Launch bay is fine, competes with all the other SW stuff, but it has very low overhead for operating costs. Disney jr gives the little kiddos something to do, and Mermaid is currently being plussed. The biggest issue is this section is off the beaten...

100% they'll do a short special on Disney+

I think outside some specific circles (like here) the blowback from closing Muppets will be rather small. Just like removing GMR there will be a lot of concerned diehard park fans, it'll generate some noise on discussion boards, but the vast majority of park visitors will be completely oblivious...

Jan 3rd will still be absolute peak crowds as New Years Eve falls on a Tuesday, so many people will stay through the end of the week. The crowds should be MUCH better by the 6th.

This assumes MV capacity is actually used, which its not. TGMR had a similar capacity fallacy in that it could eat people up in theory, but it didnt draw enough crowds to justify the space usage. See also Ellens Universe of Energy. Still, keeping Muppets and using AC does in theory add more...

As COO, I am the management. My teams do not work the hours I do, but they also dont have as much equity in the company and I'm well compensated for my time. Probably more than I should be.

It's very culturally dependent. My company is 100% remote now and we are way more productive than when we were in the office. We're logging more hours too. The CEO and I are often up early and late working on things together. I basically work non-stop most weekdays from 5am to 7 or 8pm most...

It's funny because I don't think that statement is actually true. High wealth individuals know when something is worth what their paying. Disney doesn't even come close to meeting that thresholding in the parks, much less the hotels. Even the Grand Flo barely measures up to hotels I'd expect to...

I think the Disneyland experience has the most promise for a family vacation given your crowd. The smaller footprint makes it much easier to navigate and keep everyone happy during a park day. Easier to get in and out of the parks for nap-time, less hassle in the parks with crowds, and generally...

Land without a doubt. I grew up going to DL but worked at WDW during college, lived near WDW and was a weekly visitor for many years. I used to really love WDW in the 2000s, but I've been back to Disneyland a few times in recent years and every time theres just something that feels more...

In many areas where heat and humidity is rampant, like Florida, buildings will keep temps much cooler to prevent mold growth. Outside of the south, you'll often find restaurants kept cooler to increase appetites and therefor orders.

It's very... polished(?), but something about it just feels...wrong. I haven't quite figured it out yet. I get a very strong vibe of hotel salon converted to dining space. Which I suppose that's essentially what this is, but for the category of restaurant this purports to be... it shouldn't ever...

So glad I left Orlando when I did. The experience for local passholders is so abysmal now. Hope it improves soon for you guys!

This is probably more a failure of the business/operations in terms of requirements documentation. QA probably had very simple acceptance criteria for "a user can checkout and receive a fastpass" and didn't have a requirement that the time displayed is the time given. There would have been user...

All this talk of capacity issues in HS misses a bigger picture problem: the impact of park hopping from HS. Its capacity limitations are a feature, not a flaw. A decade ago, none of the attractions at HS besides RnR and TT were "must dos" and so the half day park moniker was very truthful. With...

As another gay man, I wholeheartedly agree. The idea of the rainbow was that it represented the full spectrum of humanity and created a cohesive whole of all of us. When Baker originally designed it, it had pink in it to represent sex. That stripe was removed due to a shortage of pink fabric...

The period of peak activity you mention was riding a peak of investment in the parks by Disney. There was quite a bit of change happening; some good, some bad. New attractions were being planned, the parks were growing, the overall experience for the value was really high, etc. Argue however...

That article is a perfect picture of investor groups gutting companies long term health for short term personal gains. "Once Disney becomes shareholder-friendly and produces returns for its owners, then there might be a chance that its stock will rise. Until then, long-term value investors...

There have been several lawsuits across the nation about profiting from permitting and charging for permits unequally. In almost all cases, the counties or cities have lost. Basically permits can’t be used a means of gatekeeping, they exist to ensure public safety.
