I think this is a really funny trio of discussion points. Paint The Night deserves to go to DHS, then. It’s current situation matches the description, IMHO. And it would spread crowds. Or give Epcot it’s evening pageant back. Or fix RoL. Or put Drones into Disney Springs to serve the...

Can you imagine the uproar of MSEP plays in DL ~WHILE~ PTN runs in DCA, WITH WoC, fireworks, AND Fantasmic?! That would truly necessitate a two-night stay AT LEAST. Would be a good business model for Disneyland to compel guests to stay an extra evening. What a coup. Just like it’d be nice to...

I think that the move to ADD at least two additional cast members to a lightning lane would be a huge mistake right now, especially because it’s unproven if Genie sales can cover the costs of all those CMs.

This does not surprise me. I imagine the new “Cast Compliment” metric on MDE will be used primarily to justify firings.

Shocked that they haven’t re-introduced Once Upon A Time.

I can play the positivity game! I think KiteTails is good fun. I think the SSE Beacon is incredible, but I also think that this is more of an infrastructure improvement for EPCOT than a 50th gift — but it’s stellar. I think Harmonious is better than many give credit for - a fireworks show...

I'm trying to reserve judgment until I get to the parks (I haven't seen any videos), but I'd like to point this out... If this show is hell-bent on brand new Intellectual Property and "covers" as so many people have said in the comments, I can't for the life of me understand why the show does...

Oh, I would, if that were the case. As far as I am aware, the twitter system as well as guest relations accepted both positive and negative compliments. I imagine the twitter system was much more easily searchable for customers than this one. Both of these points feel hollow and pointedly ignore...

I'm studying Digital Marketing and Data Analytics and I can agree with you up to a point. I understand where you are coming from. The problem is: This is labeled as a vehicle for CAST COMPLIMENTS. The system replaces Twitter cast complements, as was stated earlier, and while the idea may be to...

If you were the kind of person that was hoping that Mr. Smee would be back on a jetski in the Seven Seas Lagoon to celebrate the 50th, then I wouldn't be surprised if you were the type that is grousing about this now but will pine for this show to come back for Animal Kingdom's 50th.

I think I would have booked a trip if the two night shows got rave reviews. I don’t think I’ll return to the parks until I have a reason. It looked like the reason is Guardians. If you think of it in a way the company cares about, two potential trips have been whittled down to one, maybe none in...

To play Devil’s advocate, the most popular character-based nighttime spectaculars of all time feature considerable darkness and tears before they build back up. Castle blows up in HEA, Evil Queen lays siege in Wishes, Maleficent tries to kill Mickey in Fantasmic, Dead Parent/Beast death montage...

I simply don’t understand how a compliment can be celebrated by management if there is no indication of who or what did the thing other than as an impersonal metric.

And I understand that. I actually think Harmonious, with some tweaks, could improve. I am withholding judgment on Enchantment until I visit in person. And I kinda like the kites, it reminds me of Old Epcot, though I wish it were a parade. The beacons are gorgeous. I have personal reasons why I...

I feel uncomfortable talking about the reason I think this is untrue in an open forum - I’ll PM you.

But the personal aspect is ruined. It is no longer a cast compliment. It is a metric. The soul has been ripped from the tool.

So, perhaps monetization is the wrong word. I mean that the cast complements from this app are no longer personal thank yous, but will likely be used as “currency” to reward or put pressure on different members of management. It takes away the point of a cast compliment, which is meant to be a...

No. Disney deployed a new tool to recognize department heads. There is no location in which to input who the compliment goes to nor can you fill out what the person did. How will they recognize Cast Members without this information?

100%. Should be a parade.

There’s a new Cast Compliment portal on the app. I think it shows what the company really thinks about the way it manages the company. While it allows guests to compliment a LOT easier than before, you ALSO can’t enter a name or description. What’s the point?! This seems to be a way to allow...
