    News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

    I don't disagree, I think Josh sucks too. He's just not as bad as Walden would be or how Chapek was. It's sad that the choices appear to be this grim but he's the lesser of all the evils as far as I can tell. They need a true creative as CEO and that will likely never happen ever again.

    News Disney Parks Chief Josh D'Amaro Says Pricing Model Aims to Keep Vacations Affordable for Families

    I've heard various rumors from people in the company/random message boards/twitter posts that Josh has SOME redeeming qualities and he's talked both Bob's off the ledge on some truly insane and destructive parks related decisions. I think he would definitely a step up from Chapek, but I don't...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    You have to be IN the ride (or whatever you want to call it) to experience the water for Moana. And while the EPCOT entrance fountain is great, maintenance issues aside, my point is we should expect more out of Disney than a decent sized fountain at the entrance and a relatively minor fountain...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I was talking about a central water feature, such as the ROA, fountain of nations, etc. Major pieces of an area that don't work without it. I have walked through Moana very briefly but it's hardly a main water feature as you have to walk through it to even see any water, it doesn't add to the...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    For all the people wetting themselves over these cartoonish and silly water features (now THAT'S a pun) that may or may not happen, when was the last time Disney added any kind of serious water feature? Serious question. I genuinely can't think of one. The only thing that comes to mind is Disney...

    Man, if only WDW had room for expansion without ripping out classic attractions. Shucks. Oh well!

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Just another reason why I think this ride will be a colossal failure. The footprint isn't big enough to be "grand". I bet you a million Disney Dollars Piston Peak will be more similar in scope to 7DMT than to the rockwork of RSR or Splash or EE. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think that's why the...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    It's because they have no clue what they're actually doing yet and how they will make this fit any sort of conceivable way. That's why the proportions are so out of whack. If you look at the actual size of the space they're using their simply isn't enough room for half of what is proposed, at...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    It's hilarious that Disney added what essentially amounts to a small creek running alongside this absolute monstrosity of an attraction and all of a sudden this is the best thing ever and all is saved. >hurr durr something something TSI dated and bad hurr durr This will be an unsightly...

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

    I get what you mean. Last time I went I was in Orlando on business so stayed at the Drury Inn by DS and had a chance to go play golf and go to the parks for a couple of days. Really nice hotel, great amenities, etc but was lacking that Disney "soul" you get at the Polynesian or something...

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

    I know I'm a few pages late, but that kind of "corpo-speak" is usually indicative of a complete cultural rot at the company. Nothing will change for the better until leadership is completely gutted from the top down and the new regime makes an example out of them. Not holding my breath for that...

    EPCOT Canada Pavilion exterior refurbishment 2023

    The only solution to this nonsense is to stop buying DVC. It is literally that simple. Most of Disney's problems would be solved if we simply stopped giving them money and encouraging their horrible behavior. I went for 2 days early last year, but I've sworn off going back until there's a CEO...

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    That would be such a dumb idea that I fully expect them to break ground next week on it 🤣

    Yes, I know I would. Because it would be hideous, stupid, and completely nonsensical.

    News Major renovation coming to Disney's Magnolia Golf Course at Walt Disney World

    15 and 16 look genuinely difficult. We'll see how they actually play but 15 looks brutal because of that crazy dog leg.
