    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    *Looks at poster name* That's a name I have not seen in a long time. Long time. You and everyone else can get in line behind me and there was another poster that have been beating the 3rd North American Resort drum for years now. People coming to Orlando for Disney aren't skipping the MK...

    We paid our respects today. 3:50ish show. Crowded theater, lots of cameras. People couldn’t help themselves but to sing a little with Big Al.

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    Excellent. I am visiting at exactly the right time. 6 good-to-go days. Technically 7, but the 25th we'll be at Universal. Hopefully, this bodes well for crowds.

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    This is still true. If it is a blockout day for the CM's Main Entrance Pass, comp tickets are still good on those days. The reservations are more about Disney needing to know who is planning on coming that day. And if there are too many people of a specific ticket type planning on coming...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    These dates also match the Cast Member Good-to-Go dates. 3 of which are during my upcoming trip, which means combined with the 3 allowed reservations, covers the 6 days we need when other out-of-town friend is visiting... more than 3 days in advance. That was always one of the most...

    News Free Dining Plan announced for Disney+ subscribers at Walt Disney World

    So my potential problem is DH is the subscriber for Disney+ because he handles all the streaming services, while I handle all other Disney thingys. Plus, I travel to WDW much more than he does because I'm also visiting my Dad, and DH has to like work and earn money. So even though my household...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    They don't need to. The percentage allocated to LL takes care of all of the dirty work. It lowers the effective capacity for the *standby* line and wait times for standby, rise rapidly as a natural consequence. There are just a lot of people who not only have the resources but the will to shell...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    The problem is human nature. People hate to wait in line so when you give them an option to pre-buy their seat, they will. And suddenly a 1400 per hour attraction like FOP is allocating its seats at a rate of something like 200 per hour to standby, 1000 per hour to ILL, and 200 for other...

    News Walt Disney World and other major Disney accounts stop posting on social media platform X

    The Venn diagram between “people who like Elon” and “people who are attracted to new tech like streaming / social media and have the income to subscribe to it” is likely adequate enough to get a topic trending. One thing I’ve learned over the last decade or so is how few people it actually takes...

    News Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2023 Earnings Results Webcast

    Things at WDW have to be completely awful, now and the foreseeable future. SeaWorld and Universal are both like, "We have a little softness for predictable reasons, but no long term worries." Disney... "WDW...never heard of it, lets talk DCL, Disneyland and Asia." If it was the same 3-5% you...

    Obviously, the capital spending is a "gradual increase," the customer spending is what they intend to "turbocharge" to generate DPEP growth.

    News Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2023 Earnings Results Webcast

    I can't remember so little discussion being spent on Parks & Resorts. It was like "It's a core business, so we have to talk about it, but we really, really, really don't want to talk about it. How about the studio & streaming (which are not that strong historically either)."
