    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    So you still haven't seen it? It's a shame they spoiled the reveal for you ahead of time, then. :/

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    It was such a clever reveal at the end and the closing credits where it shows news headlines including "NOT MY AVENGERS!" as happening in-world was such a funny and smart acknowledgement of why the movie was named the way it was to begin with as it pertains to fans. It really hit in the end. I...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    As a kid, I always thought that lift going outside was the most amazing thing. I loved seeing it walking up and I loved being on it looking out at the start of the ride. I suppose the high speed run is a bit of a spiritual successor to that, minus the attention to site-lines, of course but...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    I think in a lot of ways, this has to do with the differing standards the two companies have set for themselves. One has basically been largely crap about it since day-one choosing to not even try to embrace the high standards the other had been operating under for decades, prior. As a result...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    If they aren't (hopefully they're in some way enhancing how that plays out on the ride more than just on some small displays) I hope they're really doing a lot for the sets in this ride. The last version felt like a major downgrade in almost every single way except for this. People who went...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    The concept art made me think maybe they'd be getting new fiberglass shells which I guess may have made them seem a little more modern. Maybe that was a plan at one point and they just decided they could get close enough with a black vinyl wrap on the existing? Might have been cool but not...

    News Coco 2 (Pixar - 2029)

    I wasn't presuming to speak for a culture. Just pushing back at someone who seemed hellbent on convincing a person from a culture that is neither theirs nor mine that their concerns are unwarranted, especially when the original person was citing legitimate examples for those concerns. For the...

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    You can still have a vertical lift with track. Transformers does. (and most people don't even notice they're on an elevator for those two segments)

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    The problem isn't that TBA was a new story, it's that it's a completely lame story. It would be as if they made a ride for Frozen based on Frozen Fever. They had the elements in the ride system itself and in characters/themes from the original story they could have built on to make a great...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    If I remember correctly, back before they built out the parking lot amusement park, that is how the forced exit path from Countdown to Extinction took you - right into that shop.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Just wanted to say, I know some people will think that gif is some kind of a joke but it really can't be overstated what a big deal it was for Disney to land that man in a movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola for the Imagination Pavilion. They have arguably, never been able to match or top...

    News Disney Leaders Explain How the 'Disney Bubble' Shapes the Guest Experience and What's Next

    If I had to guess, I'd expect Encanto to be built out closer to the AA setup in in TBA than ROTR. Having ridden TBA for the first time last weekend, I have to say that despite the video not seeming all that bad, it was a huge let down in person with so much of the ride static and in the dark...

    News Disney Leaders Explain How the 'Disney Bubble' Shapes the Guest Experience and What's Next

    That's the thing. Once you start playing no true Scottsman it's gets easier to agree with him but just a little basic thinking turns up a number of examples from the bare such as the carousel and Teacups and Dumbo (before it was moved and half the fun of the ride removed in the process) all the...

    Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort

    Ugg... That's what we booked Dockside for the one time we stayed there and the sleep part was hard when it sounded like there was a party happening either above or next to us until around 3am. We called down to the desk around midnight and it never really got better. It wasn't until after that...

    Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort

    These look nice. I can't help but see what appears to be a reskin of an Endless Summer resort in that final picture that shows the pool area with the hotel behind it. Whether it is or isn't, I hope they learned their lesson with the soundproofing between rooms/floors from those two builds...

    News Disney Leaders Explain How the 'Disney Bubble' Shapes the Guest Experience and What's Next

    Depending on the metric, not at all. Most acreage? Absolutely in at least one instance* but that's never what they're solely implying when they say that and they know it. They like to play loosely with the meaning of words, just like when Iger said that 7DMT was the first attraction that was...

    News Disney Leaders Explain How the 'Disney Bubble' Shapes the Guest Experience and What's Next

    Also, where have we heard some variation of "biggest expansion in park history" before? Maybe third time's a charm?

    MK New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Updates Coming to Walt Disney World

    I rode that last week for the first time since pre-covid and I really hadn't remembered the faces being that bad. While they still work better in some parts than others, that end scene where the two sisters are holding hands is just... awful. Also, I realized the scale shows pretty badly on...
