A parade of 50 floats would be wretched on guests, park operations, and entertainment. It would be over twice as long as any parade in any Disney park. At the speed Disney typically runs their domestic parades (which is faster than overseas but still surprisingly slow) it would keep guest...

Often not quite that simple. The majority of these are liens filed by subs, they have to file against Disney instead of the general contractor because Disney owns the property/machine/item they performed work on. Fairly often these are "defensive" filings where the sub files after the work is...

Paint the night is an impressive parade, technically, but it is lacking in story, or feeling.

Where's the train from Hogwarts to Hogsmead?

COP has been on its last legs for 17 years... Hang in there old friend.

Not to put too fine a point on it but Disney's morals have been of convenience for a long time. They owned Mirimax when Pulp Fiction and the Kill Bill movies came out, not exactly family fare. I wouldn't put much into them canceling the night of joy, from every cast member it created a lot of...

Your statement has no basis in reality whatsoever. From a personal perspective I have relatives who are fast food franchisees with full and ready access to both the technology and corporate financing to put in automation in every one of their stores. In states with high min wages they are all...

As much as I don't want to be accused of being a Disney fan boy, one time in forty years is actually a pretty good record. Name a single attraction that has run for over 20 years at any park that hasn't had some type of mechanical breakdown. Yes it was bad, yes it was dangerous, no it...

UO originally bought a LOT more land, including all of the land the convention ceter sits on. When GE was their corporate overlord they sold off most of the land for a quick shot to the stock price. Then vivendie (sorry if I spelled that wrong) sold of more when they needed cash.

The Birds was released by Universal, don't the birds know they have to honor the IP rights? (Ube Iwerks [hope I spelled it correctly] actually did do the special effects for the movie)

I find the 40% not credible. Whenever an attraction is down for an extended period it impacts park capacity - read: Costs money - if TT, which has a fairly high theoretical hourly capacity, was just over 50% up time the ride would have been shuttered and replaced a while ago. I also have to...

Another factor that might be quickening their decision: Whenever a theme park designs, or has a vendor design, anything that interacts with guest they do a hazard analysis, failure mode effects analysis, along with quite a few other very detailed engineering reports going into the design to...

I truly hope they don't turn illuminations (or its replacement) into yet another "tribute to the beloved characters of Disney" show which typically are completely vapid and are characterized by an incoherent romp through low resolution vignettes based on wide ranging IP or characters Disney owns...

Oh good, now we can expect even lower quality garbage from China being shoved at us with a premium price. Higher room prices, pay for parking, higher admission prices, "capacity" pricing (read: jack the prices up even more when crowded). Guess I know why Universal is having a record year and...

Since I live in Orlando and only stay at their hotels when family is in town it really doesn't effect me but since they apparently think it is a good idea to fleece us whenever they can I will simply tell my family that we are going to Universal instead, I have unlimited access to both parks and...

Actually the ip attractions tend to be more expensive and a lot more annoying to create. You have several additional groups of people who believe their ip is worth much more than whatever is planned and that they know more about attractions than wdi. This is true even when it his within the...

I assume on most sites no matter the subject you turn it into a Trump rant?

It never ceases to amaze me how people complain when Disney doesn't update thing then complain even louder when they do. If they left WOM alone you would not be able to force anyone under 20 into the place at gun point, it was substantially out of date when it was new now it would be a joke.

Wow, the histrionics and hyperbole are well out of control. Public transit has doors open on light rail trains on very rare occasions. Yes, the train should not have dispatched with the door open (maybe this one didn't either). Yes there should have been an 'all stop' when the door was...

Was there for the party on Sunday and the Haunted Mansion was most certainly open, rode it myself.
