    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    You know, I was starting to think how they could bring this back and this is where I landed at. Just make it a "day cruise" at $250-400pp (you know how they love their variable rates). Could do something like 3-4 lunch/dinner shows a day and have it include access to DHS via the shuttle. It...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I wonder if Disney brings this into their lawsuit, if possible?

    Yup, this was my exact experience 8/18-8/26.

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    It was the afternoon. We park hopped over to HS. It was a lengthy down time. We were walking up for our das reservation as we saw them dumping the queue. We ended up doing it after our 630 ogas reservation. I couldn't imagine paying for LL for that experience.

    DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    I rode it 3 times on my trip 8/20 was the worst day. No pre-show (no rey hologram or ship, straight to the back hallway), Kylo and Hux were both motionless and second Kylo was the screen B-Mode. 8/22 Both Kylo animatronics were not working. Hux and pre-show were fine. 8/26 Best day by far...

    News Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya to open in EPCOT this summer

    So from now until Aug 28 it is walk up only and then on the 28th you can start getting reservations? If so, might need to check this out when we get in later this week. Looks really good.

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Yeah, I believe his posts were written, or at least edited by PR/marketing. I recall there was one post where he forgot to remove notes that were clearly from someone else. Disney wanted their next Joe Rohde of an imagineer that talked bts and fed the marketing machine...but it felt forced and...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    The whole point was never to run the district better. It was to punish Disney and keeping them "in line".

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Has there been any rumors on other previews after CM previews? Seems like they usually have announced something for signups by now for other previews. Or will they just do a soft open after CM previews?

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Wrong. RCID was set up to facilitate Disney's needs that the counties could not provide to support the goal of tourism. It was not for the public needs of the citizens of the state.

    News Updates coming to the Walt Disney World Dining Reservation System

    Apparently you need to log in prior to searching for available times. Wonder if that will impact Touring Plan's reservation finder?

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I keep going back to, if the state really felt that way (and it wasn't just retaliation), why was there no report/analysis done like back in 2004? That is where that argument falls flat.

    News Chapek FIRED, Iger New CEO

    Instead of a fully functional app, they should just create a channel for the resorts that plays through different content available on Disney+ (perhaps for serialized shows they limit to only the first episode of the series). Then, instead of traditional commercials, they play content from their...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Because I love charts and visualizations, I decided to plot out data from touringplans, this year vs last year. I have the predicted crowd, actual crowd and high temp (does not take into account heat index and any heat warnings). This is only for Magic Kingdom. I took the few days prior and...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    Oh man, that doesn't give me hope that I'd get to check this out when I'm there from the 19th-26th. I'm assuming after CM previews they'll likely do DVC and other targeted previews before opening to the public. Hoping I'm wrong. Even though this is nothing major, always nice to see something new...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Eh. That was not specifically for the wdw resort. Two different things really. And while they did very little in parks for the 50th, they are doing even less and primarily just in Epcot. Also marketing seemed to be stronger for the 50th than what I am seeing here in the North East.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Another thing I wouldn't discount is the 50th anniversary. I know we all here basically laughed at the offerings, because they were lacking big time (unless you love cupcakes). However, I think there was just enough to get people to change their typical travel time and go during the celebration...
