Baxter can get the nod on Indy alone. One of a handful of attractions where your jaw just drops. To take the dark ride concept from minor attractions and implement it on that scale, was and is astonishing. I'm a little cynical about some of his other stuff. Big Thunder looks pretty but is...

Bob Gurr designed so many things that had never been done before. I saw him at an event around the time Disneyland's new monorails couldn't even run mid-afternoon due to heat and lack of air flow. Bob Gurr designed the original monorail which had no such issues. Someone asked him why Disney...

Christmas adults are the worst ;)

How am I supposed to know exactly what people mean? Anyway, some of the reactions here are over the top. Wearing Mickey ears to the grocery store isn't "normal", but I see many many examples of things that are far more inappropriate and out of place. This feels like a nothing burger.

Not every discussion forum is private. It's also easy to register for and view forums. I'd use the term "private" pretty loosely. It's not like a personal social media page one can restrict to certain people.

They didn't need to use the Fox cast though. That incarnation of the X-Men basically wrapped up as its' own thing. It seems odd to me that Marvel wouldn't want to develop their own version of iconic characters like Professor X and Magneto. How do you effectively do that now? I get the whole...

The next Avengers movie will really tell the tale of how Marvel is doing in terms of general interest. The first movies used characters that didn't necessarily set the box office on fire individually (Thor, Ant-Man) but developed good characters that were important to those big event films. My...

That pirate skull mug is an instant buy.

Bingo! Creating an account on a Disney fan site. Choosing your favourite character as an Avatar and/or screen name. Discussing your favourite attractions and meals and resorts over and over. It's all weird to someone. The judgement with a complete lack of self awareness is certainly something...

People wear t-shirts from Disney parks everywhere. I guess mouse ears are seen as weird for, reasons? That stuffs too expensive to exist solely as theme park attire.

Not to mention Tuesdays are the norm for digital movie releases. Not to say they couldn't try a Friday release, but it would be unusual. I imagine there's an agreement amongst movie studios not to potentially undermine theatrical releases with Friday digital releases.

I haven't followed this one closely, are there plans for where the old one is going away?

At least in 2019 the pre-booked free Fastpasses were still a thing. Having pre-booked reservations for Flight of Passage and the Mine Train really made a difference. I'm a bit nervous about USJ but I figure a lot of it is things I've done elsewhere so can keep it focused. No pressure to ride...

I think the secret is that all of the park operators want to maximize profits and don't really want to reduce crowds. Reservations seem more about adjusting staffing levels, including reductions in response to lower attendance days. Part of the reason there doesn't seem to be an off season...

Interesting that Tokyo hasn't brought back annual passes and don't appear to be suffering for it.

I'm going back to the Tokyo Resort this year for the first time in over 20 years. I've looked at wait times just to get a feel for what to expect and nothing seems overly terrible. Maybe it's because I've done Flight of Passage and Rise of the Resistance at the peak of their popularity, two...

Who is buying bottled water? Any quick service restaurant will give you a cup of ice water. Having heat warnings make sense. Many people aren't prepared for the combination of heat and exertion at WDW and the impact it has compared to everyday life.

Captain Marvel was cleverly released right before Endgame, so everyone thought they had to see it in the theaters to be current with the story.

It may not have had a huge impact beyond being a successful movie, but hearing that often feels like people are grasping at straws to downplay its' success. You do it again by claiming "no one loved" the films. A movie doesn't do Avatar business without positive word of mouth and repeat...
