    The entire attraction is based on edcuating people about the water cycle and provides a fun way of doing it. That's edutainment.

    Grand Floridian not as grand as I would have thought.

    What is EPCOT now?

    Epcot is now a permanent world's fair, with both educational opportunities and rides for thrill-seekers (such as they are). Disney, unfortunately, can't win. They need rides like Guardians and Frozen to keep people coming through the turnstiles, and the festivals to draw seasonal crowds and the...

    Does anyone else feel the urgency to visit WDW at this point more than ever?

    The original story is problematic. It is inconceivable that it wouldn't be regarded as such in the modern era.

    Disney's Financial Problems

    Who says it's not? Watch the financial press, which seems to be leaking stories like this to drum up response. Tim Cook would be an excellent choice to replace Bob Iger, regardless.

    Acquisition rumors are beginning to percolate; it's possible Disney will become part of a larger conglomerate and assets will be either combined, folded, or sold. Apple's name keeps coming up as a possible buyer. They have a large cash reserve and $3 trillion in market cap, which would make...

    where did beaver tails go?

    Rather heavy-handed with the trademark, though that may be a Canadian thing. The laws differ in the United States, and it is very common for a business to lose value of their trademark as the name becomes synonymous with a product or service. Some companies even encourage it. You can certainly...

    Disney has an "IP" issue, and not the one we've discussed often

    Don't forget Warner Brothers MAY soon be for sale. Will Disney over-leverage again and try to pick up those properties?

    Disney needs to simplify this before implementing. Lordy.

    Christmas 2024. AKL or Boardwalk Inn? First Holiday trip.

    The Boardwalk is beautiful at Christmas. You may get a better holiday deal at Dolphin or Swan; it all depends if you want o stay on the actual boardwalk or not. You can't go wrong with AKL, though.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Hmmmm...... so they extended Iger's contract through 2026? You know whose contract at Apple is up in 2026? Tim Cook. Bring him in!

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    The post-Covid travel explosion has cooled off. And since people are spending more of their incomes on essentials, vacations are taking a backburner. Student loan repayments, which is up to 5% of the economy, are about to begin again, taking disposable income with them.

    Florida is hurting right now for tourists, as vacationers are looking elsewhere and conventions have cancelled throughout the state. Disney will be no exception -- expect bargains and deals to explode as the year progresses, and especially into 2024. Between the soft economy for travel, and...

    Struggling with anxiety over leaving children and considering cancelling WDW - help?

    I wouldn't go if I was filled with anxiety. You won't be able to enjoy your trip.

    DHS Indiana Jones Land?

    Hopefully the poor perfromance of the new Indiana Jones movie doesnt kill any further conversation about a land dedicated to the film franchise. I really believe Indiana Jones is a concept that could thrive on Disney+.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Unless this recession is atypical... people are still sending money BUT certain segments of the economy - especially travel and entertainment - are seeing their own secular recessions. Cable TV viewing has gotten so bad that studios are refusing to release their viewership numbers. That's never...
