    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    It's like them not raising the price of a tiny number of days when they raise everything else and saying "we haven't changed minimum pricing". While factually true, it's transparently obvious that keeping 2-3 throwaway days a year at the lowest price for a marketing talking point is a...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure Standby Line and Lighting Lane status

    Which is why, as long as they find people willing to stand in those lines, they have little no incentive to fully resolve their attraction capacity issues. Cars isn't a solution. That will be an additional unneeded draw to the MK, just like Tron was. If anything, their current plans for...

    News Magic Kingdom Experiences Major Attraction Shutdown, Impacting Most of the Park

    That makes sense. As someone who work in McDs as a kid and who owns a SodaStream, I was confused by your initial comment but I hadn't considered that. Back in the day we had big heavy aluminum canisters for the syrup. Now I see those little boxes with pouches everywhere but I wonder if Disney...

    News Magic Kingdom Experiences Major Attraction Shutdown, Impacting Most of the Park

    Thanks. Just seems odd to me that for something as simple as an air compressor, that they'd be running lines literally all over the park (and maintaining that) rather than having them specifically for each major attraction or section of the park. Obviously it (usually) works since I can't...

    It's certainly not but I value the experience and opinion of someone who's actually done something over someone who's just about old enough to start doing it. No offense to the inexperienced - we all start there - but it does impact the value I give on someone's thoughts about planning a trip...

    News Magic Kingdom Experiences Major Attraction Shutdown, Impacting Most of the Park

    Can anyone with knowledge explain the value in a centralized system for compressed air? I've never heard of this in the park before and this seems a good example of why it seems like a bad idea.

    They just need to be super careful how they market it as it gets closer to opening. I think this is a situation where they get one shot at appropriate level-setting. But then again, I imagine "Universal adults" (ick - I have an AP and didn't know such a thing existed) should be more plugged in...

    Another words, you'll be mad if they delete it. Have a lot of thoughts on this myself (we probably agree) but bowing out because the number of debate posts generated over my opinion on the Universal Texas park was enough heated controversy for me for one day. I've seen how every discussion...

    What are they in the active stages of working on right now that we have real details on besides these two things? I tried looking up the UK project and could find zero details with no start date even planned on construction or exactly what it will have - only that it's expected maybe as early...

    It can be both not bad and also something a 25 year old without kids who ignored all the marketing thinks they wasted their time and money traveling to when they get there and fully realize it was designed for someone 17 years younger than them. Sorry, I meant 17 and 1/2 years younger. ;) As a...

    Depends. How many vacations have you personally planned and paid for, yourself? How many people were you planning for and paying for?

    All great points. But smaller and cheaper as opposed to what? I can't see them picking the middle of Texas or Las Vegas to do something bigger and higher priced. Can you? Seems like the only alternative would have been to either sink that investment into Orlando and/or Hollywood or to simply...

    It's not besides MY point - that IS my point you've been arguing against. And you're right, it could be detrimental if they do absolutely everything wrong with the rollout of this. For that, you have to assume they don't know what they're doing and this will fail in which case you'd be...

    You understand the audience for a Disney cruise (vs. any other cruise line out there) has an immense overlap for WDW, right? So much so they have booking options that include both for a single trip with transportation between the resort and Port Canaveral for those taking cruises out of...

    It's a risk if they're not accounting for it. Your Merlin example is someone getting it wrong and for Universal to get it wrong, we'd have to assume their management hasn't been paying attention and learned from the public failings of other . From the sounds of the article at the heart of this...

    Thank you for pointing that out. I'd have continued to waste my time, otherwise. ;)

    In that context, I get you. I went to Epic because of your "which extends beyond the Kids Park" comment. That was the only thing that jumped immediately to mind when I was trying to figure out what you were talking about. I think it's fine to build something relatively cheap that's local for a...
