    Rumor Version of MaxPass coming to WDW in May?

    I'm mentally preparing myself for: - 30 minute early entry as the primary resort guest perk. - Possibly a small resort guest discount on (highly variable) pay-per-use Fastpass. Saddle up, folks.

    News Peter Pan's Flight exterior refurbishment - 2021

    Agreed - the Magic Kingdom tournament tent theme is comparatively awful. Absolutely should have been a complete redo.

    News 5G Cellular Service Installation Under Way at WDW

    The last one never fully grew in. Fortunately it's slightly less disturbing than you might otherwise imagine. Slightly.

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    No one really needs to hear my opinion, but holy hell - these things are amazingly, hilariously ugly. Knee deep in manure and they just keep digging, eh? "Gotta be a pony under here somewhere!"

    News 5G Cellular Service Installation Under Way at WDW

    You should see what hiding a transistor radio under my pillow to listen to west coast Tigers' games as a youngin' did to me. I now have 4.7 heads. Which is why I can't make any YouTube videos warning everyone about the life threatening dangers of those dastardly radio waves! Can't have the...

    News Disney announces strategic restructuring of media and entertainment divisions.

    Well, sort of. My (admittedly vague) recollection was that Kareem interned during undergrad. After a brief stint at Andersen Consulting (which is curiously absent from his CV) after graduating he went back to Stanford for his MBA before joining Goldman and then eventually went back to Disney...

    News Magic Kingdom July 2020 reopening reports

    Ah, so by the third time through you finally felt like you had been on a single, complete ride?

    Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom Walkway

    100% accurate. My family visited WDW a half dozen times when I was a child and I've been four times as an adult. I never stepped foot on TSI until my last visit, simply because no one ever wanted to wait for the boat to see what was there. Holy crap! Had my 10 year old self known what was...

    News Disney Genie digital assistant app coming to Walt Disney World

    Of course this will be monetized; although I'll buck the trend and say I don't see this as a bad thing. I am assuming the following: - There will be some level of "free" plan ahead Fastpass+ availability that will remain. Does it stay at 3? Reduce to 2? - A certain allotment of same day...

    Predictions! Secret WDC Project — August 22 @ D23

    Morgan Freeman voice-over: "It wasn't." (Sorry; I've been hurt too many times.)

    News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

    Which was 99% of the reason he ever posted: to stroke his ego. And he found the perfect captive audience to use to that end. A motivation that was equal parts pathetically pedestrian and mindbogglingly weird, but the strange profile of the Disney obsessed makes for an absurdly easy target for...

    Grand Villa Stays Qualify For Extra Fastpasses

    Disney feels like they've already tapped out the low end of the market (one of the reasons they built the value resorts, continued the "free dining" promotions, etc). Now they're going after the high end of the market. It's a pretty typical path for many companies - try to attract volume, then...

    News Disney considering a service like Uber at WDW - Confirmed as Minnie Van

    Anecdotally, when I used them in October 2017 one of the drivers informed me they had 40 in service.

    Rumor Pixar's Coco coming to the Mexico Pavilion

    Frozen, Brave, and Tangled are pithy titles that have an actual meaning and give a bit of insight, albeit small, into the plot of the movie. Coco has no immediate correlation to the public at large. May as well be named "Fred". As for my reference to "the dead theme", it certainly does. The...

    DHS The fate of Star Tours?

    I've long suspected this is absolutely how it will play out. Once the shattering crowds arrive this is the quickest and easiest solution they will have at hand.

    Rumor Pixar's Coco coming to the Mexico Pavilion

    Haven't seen any tracking numbers yet, but I'm concerned there will be a few things working against Coco: - The name doesn't really resonate with the story in any way for domestic audiences. - The "dead" theme seems completely wrong for the holiday season. - A good number of folks I've spoken...
