    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Funny side story to this was since we were flying out the next day, we were freaking out since my wife lost all her forms of identification. So we wrangled up a copy of the police report and everything. Called the airline to explain the situation and they gave us a laundry list of what we need...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    Few years back wife and I did a weekend at Universal. End of last day we wanted to hit the water rides and threw our stuff in the lockers by JP (pin entry, not fingerprint). Went on rides and came back to find out our locker was cleared out five minutes after we walked away. Universal claimed it...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    1) I don't know if it's brand fatigue just yet. Marvel released how many movies between the end of 2017 to 2018 with no impact. I think a lot of it is appealing to three different generations. The Original Trilogy generation has different expectations than the Prequel generation. Marvel has been...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    Sequel drop off is actually very common. Empire Strikes Back had a huge drop off (and outrage) compared to A New Hope. The problem with boycotts is that major companies don't usually bend a knee to fans. I'm more convinced that if the Star Wars films start to tank, Disney will throw them in...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    Honestly, you're questioning a plot choice in a film series that has planet (or system) destroying super weapons? You don't think that Leia, being of the mighty Skywalker blood, wouldn't be trained just a wee bit by Luke? Or as I see it, was completely reactionary that she saved herself by using...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    Minor in nature? Like a whole plot about Kenobi finding out a mysterious army created by people with dark intentions and then completely forgetting about that mid-movie to use said army? Do you honestly think a major movie franchise with a $225m budget was left to Rian Johnson to do what he...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    There's been dozens of industry analysts who have cited the issues. First, the inflated budget due to reshoots. The budget was raised so high due to heavy reshoots that it would've taken a huge return to be truly a blockbuster. Second, there was absolutely NO marketing in place for Solo until...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    I'm a very passionate fan of things I enjoy. Now no one has to like what I do but at least be objective what you don't like. I'm sorry you didn't like the new movies. I'm sure if we had a cup of coffee we could discuss what you didn't like and you'd maybe enjoy it better or maybe not. I'm sure...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    If you don't like the movie, that's fine. There's 11 movies now. I think the Prequels are a dumpster fire but more power to those who enjoy them. What you're saying is easily proven to be incorrect because you're taken a political opinionated stance over reality. 2015 - The Force Awakens - #1...

    DHS Star Wars Land Opening Date Contest

    My guess is 10/4/2019. I've been watching the promotions (I'm going in May was was hoping a deal would save me a few bucks) and they've been promoting only 1-2 months out with offers. The free DDP promotion is not only super far out, it's being offered three months early. I think they're hoping...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    Amazing. Every thing you just said was wrong. Star Wars has ALWAYS been about social commentaries. The difference is now there's money to be had in it. Make clickbait YouTube videos how "SJW's" or pro-feminist agendas are "taking over Star Wars", you get enough eyes to make a buck. Social Media...

    Resort Hopping at Star Wars Hotel?

    I was thinking that maybe upon booking there's a series of questions you have to answer to get "costume" sizing for your party, your level of participation and preferences. Link to your Magic Band so they can know on site and act accordingly. You sit down for dinner and a CM hands you a note to...

    Resort Hopping at Star Wars Hotel?

    That's kind of what I'm thinking. Like one of the murder mystery dinners. I'm sure at some point the First Order will invade and start looking for the spy who families will have to help out. It'll be interesting how they can engage people. My friends and I are all gamers so I'll act as a...

    Resort Hopping at Star Wars Hotel?

    I was even wondering if they'll do specific dates, like two days open - one day closed, or if it'll be constantly rotating guests in and out. Would cut down on room cleaning resets but I'm thinking more of accidental things: clogged toilets, someone throwing up blue milk, the leaking dirty...

    Resort Hopping at Star Wars Hotel?

    As a lifelong Star Wars fan, this is such a dream come true but man, there's so many logistical things that I'm so curious how they pull it off. Telling a story but still running a hotel/restaurant. Dealing with luggage, room cleaning, transportation and then having to have cast members telling...

    Coronado worth it?

    Love Coronado! Beautiful resort, great pool, one of the best food courts I've been to. Used to be our go to resort with or without kids but last few years it's been unavailable for our usual time of year, so we've done POFQ or AoA. Staff has been some of the nicest I've met on property as well...

    Resort Hopping at Star Wars Hotel?

    Anyone have any hints how this will work? My wife has no interest but my Star Wars buddies and I would plan a guy's weekend to do this. Will they have Magical Express going directly to the hotel? Do you need to book a normal resort and basically upcharge to do the hotel? Will they transport you...

    DHS Different way of handling queues?

    That would've been a really cool way of entering GE. Star Tours ends on Batuu and you exit directly into GE. Star Tours has a better guest capacity so it could've acted as a staggering point for crowds.

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    The whole "social justice" thing with Star Wars is a joke. First off, the entirety of the Original Trilogy was about the Rebels being "social justice warriors". They are literally fighting for equality and freedom with diversity (even if it's a British guy or a squid alien). Second, people are...

    Interview with Bob Iger about the Parks

    Star Wars is from from being in trouble. It's just the dissenting voices are much louder now due to social media and clickbait media fuels it. The Last Jedi was the highest grossing movie of 2017 and the highest grossing blu-ray of 2018. Solo was the 12th highest grossing blu-ray. Read most of...
