    The Spirited 11th Hour ...

    I'm not a MDE defender by any means, but you're major complaint is that you were trying to work the system to get 5 overlapping fp's on the most difficult ride in the park to do so, less than 24 hours out and it took too long to do it? Wow.

    Christine McCarthy named CFO

    You mean two men enter, one man stays. The other leaves with a golden parachute.

    Ridiculous: Everyone is forced to stand now in the Wishes fastpass area.

    You mean we have someone with Captain America as their handle but Captain Hook is the one complaining about language...lol. Irony abounds.

    Disney and Universal working on Marvel deal for Florida?

    How many times does it have to be said that these two things are unrelated? Cripes, read the thread and follow along. And by your wording, Marvel can't "pull out" of Univ because they don't own the attractions or even the rights. The only way Marvel leaves IOA is if Univ allows it.

    Disney and Universal working on Marvel deal for Florida?

    Plus, the Sony/Disney deal is, for all intents, a usage deal. Sony is not giving up the movie rights to Spiderman, they are collaborating with Marvel by allowing Spiderman to become part of the MCU so that Marvel gets the use of a character it wants in a storyline that he was a significant part...

    New theme park competition coming for WDW in Florida!

    So basically this thread was a promotional ploy to talk about the posters love for Miami but because the miscellaneous threads don't get the traffic the OP came up with a self-admittedly bogus connection to WDW so that it could go in a higher traffic place in the forum...yep...can we move this now.

    A Spirited Perfect Ten

    Te The last part seems to be the trend for restaurants in general....especially in urban areas. Casual upscale is thriving while many of the older luxury restaurants are disappearing...ex. Citronelle in DC and Le Bec Fin in Philadelphia.

    Monorail is out of service

    Herein lies the issue. If what wdw71fan says is correct, and based on their track record it probably is, then the initial criticism was baseless. Now, the fact that it took them as long as it did to fix the problem is a legitimate concern and could speak to maintenance in that they have...

    Monorail is out of service

    I'm pretty sure Al Lutz didn't go on a message board and less than 10 minutes after there was a report of a "ride" being down immediately blame it on a specific maintenance issue without any further information having been given as to what happened. Hence the difference in criticism style.

    Monorail is out of service

    I don't post here much, and when I do I have typically been critical of Disney as well, but the irrational nature of some of the bile that is spewed is getting out of hand. Yes WDW is not what it used to be...and it should be called out for that constantly. However, criticism loses credibility...

    Oh look, another one...and on motley fool again. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/03/14/walt-disney-co-theme-park-could-double-in-size.aspx And of course, while this is mostly about HK they can't help but glowingly quote the 25Million in the first year number for Shanghai...which will...

    Universal Orlando Getting Bigger, Better, Wetter, Wilder

    Space Mountain was planned from very early on. And if you are going to invoke Walts name and then think he would be happy with the current state of WDW then I think there is little else to discuss.

    Universal Orlando Getting Bigger, Better, Wetter, Wilder

    This is not what Disney was always about....Disney used to try and appeal to all markets and did a d@m^ good job of it...if they are now only about pixie dust and princesses they are stupidly limiting their market. Pixie Dust and princesses was Fantasyland not all of WDW. Definitely not EPCOT...

    Universal Orlando Getting Bigger, Better, Wetter, Wilder

    I got into the global to show one thing....unfortunately it makes it even more sad what has happened. Disney has not forgotten how to create incredibly immersive environments and jaw dropping attractions....but they seem to have decided that in WDW they don't even have to live up to their own...

    Universal Orlando Getting Bigger, Better, Wetter, Wilder

    Actually Disney built RSR and if I am not mistaken some pretty impressive things in HK in that time....the problem is TDO shows no commitment to allowing that type of creativity and spending to occur in WDW Unless it's on magical bracelets and the company sees fit to allow this.

    Staggs promoted to COO

    He didn't specify what the position was...he said one down and one to go and since Rasulo was still around I assumed he could be the one to go..,while we already know Meg is on her way out the door.
