I hate the PC police. I hate the Rebel Flag. Lincoln was right to force the issue and preserve the Union. Yay, liberals! The North won. The Federal government won. In the process the country rid itself of slavery...not racism. Yes Lincoln was reluctant and yes the war had other causes. Only way...

There is a rumor that at a Kenobi film may be released before the Solo/Fett movie. There's a screenshot making the rounds online that shows a "Kenobi: The Balance of the Force" released prior to Ep IX with the Solo/Fett movie being released after IX...

I thought I read somewhere (maybe the LA piece) that in addition to the Bellagio people, Disney was teaming up with Cirque du Soliel for RoL. Which means that there must still (budget adjustments or not) be some kind of a live performer element to the show.

I respectfully disagree. MLS has a high chance of succeeding in Miami...IF the right conditions manifest...Particularly a stadium in Dade that Beckham and Co build with their own money. Miami is a more favorable market than Orlando for soccer...but dumb decisions like having a Miami team play...

I thought I read on here awhile back that there was a strong possibility of a Marvel overlap in Orlando. I think this came up during the negotiations between Marvel and Universal. Perhaps, Marvel sought more specific IP theme park usage terms and to win that allowed Universal to proceed with an...

Well, that's the root of the problem then. There also seems to be a difference between the management teams at each park. AK seems to be better than the ones at Epcot and DHS at the moment.

So everyone had signed off on the plans before the meeting? I thought after WDI handed over their designs to Iger, he reviews them and then goes to the BoD for final approval? Are creatives allowed at these BoD meetings? Is WDW management even in the conversation at any point in the process?

I dont know much about these "Mommy Bloggers", but that video scared and scarred me.

Supposedly it's one of the better Marvel films...positive early reviews. I'm skeptical, but I'll probably be there opening weekend.

I find that is the best view. The Tomorrowland side is horrible in comparison. I like most of the changes, but a couple more trees would help.

Huh? Pointing out the business realities is not making excuses. I sit here and hate a bunch of things about WDW, and I've said in the past that I've often picked alternatives when vacationing...but I recently renewed my AP. I recognize I'm part of the problem. The only way certain things like...

I understand, my point was that many investors these days seem easily spooked. They want safe. Companies need to cut costs, squeeze the last drop of profit, even if you have to jettison quality in the process...it's all about efficiency ($$). As I understand it, last time the economy went...

Consider the history. Universal had nowhere else to go but up. If Uni fans think there wont come a point (soon) when Comcast will be forced by shareholders to cut back on spending at the parks, then they are in for a rude awakening. The Wall Street mindset...profits, profits, profits. Even at...

Disney isn't just a business. Disney is a publicly traded multinational corporation. It doesn't answer to the average fan (i.e. forum commenter)...it answers to investors/shareholders. As such, in many ways Disney is restrained by whatever Wall Street mood/belief is trending at a given moment in...

How much was FLE? How much is Disney Springs costing? Magic Bands/infrastructure? Disney has invested in Orlando...just not in anything super exciting. We're basically getting a new park...that's beyond exciting. Star Wars!!

Well, our expectations/imaginations can perpetually power Figment's pavilion. Then Dr. Channing turns up.... Keeping expectations in check is always a good idea.

How do you know this? It's not open yet. Plus, I will be able to experience that section of DTD at all hours for free...seems better to me.

People love DTD. Springs expands/upgrades on DTD. Disney isn't building massive parking garages, because they expect them to be half empty. I'm not sold on their being as much demand as they think. I'm sure they've studied the market. As a guest I'm excited that the parking/bus situation there...

Pretty sure executives look at these proposals before they go to the Board. So Iger/Staggs were probably on board before the directors sat down to meet.

Probably completed by 2021...but opening in phases. Pixar then SW. Just a guess.
