How else are we going to get to the Magic Kingdom? If we're planning to connect every resort and park to the monorail, we're going to need a hub. That means either building one from scratch or renovating the existing one. I assume the latter option is cheaper. Even if we design a system that...

It's six miles from Pop Century to the TTC. Assuming there aren't overruns, that's $114 million by your metric, and that only serves two resorts and one and a half parks.

That's because they just took Paradise Pier and hosed it down in Pixar juice. Aside from moving in the repurposed Flik's Flyers in, what did they really change?

I'd forgotten the horror make-up thing. And I will sheepishly confess to owning a videotape, somewhere in my mother's house, of me doing the Star Trek thing. But of their E-tickets for the first few years, they had Kong, Jaws, ET and Back to the Future, plus Earthquake, and only one of those...

Was that really true for Universal Studios Florida, thought? My memories of visiting it as a teen are not the sharpest, but aside from Earthquake and the Psycho show, I don't really member a focus on that, and unlike MGM, there was no backlot tour. I know they added Twister, but that got dated...

No, but those cities generally issue bonds when they they need to pay less than a billion dollars a mile. They're not paying for it out of their own coffers and hurting their stock price. I'm not saying a monorail extension or some kind of other light rail system wouldn't be really cool, I...

Attractiveness is subjective, but considering how quickly the entire project came together (they've been working on it for how long? Two years?), it's very scalable. If there's not a line running to Disney Springs in the next 5-10 years, I'll be surprised. Contrast that with a monorail spur...

I enjoyed watching it and then promptly forgot it. I only remember really enjoying Lando. I would be the first in line to Calrissian: A Star Wars Story.

Good luck getting Harrison Ford to agree to that. Or convincing Lucasfilm to spend the money on a convincing deepfake. I love the short memories of some Star Wars fans. People derided the prequels for a solid fifteen years, and then they were suddenly signing petitions demanding that Lucas...

Will they be able to open any outside attractions? From the looks of the app, half of EPCOT is closed right now, and Test Track is the only thing that usually has challenges with weather.

Solo, the comics, and some of the books. And I believe the current decree is that anything Star Wars puts out now, regardless of the medium, is given equal weight. It's not like the pre-Disney days where there were levels to it.

I guess they want to make sure Food and Wine makes up some of the lost revenue from the other parks closing early.

From the news alert, even while weakening, it's gotten bigger. I grew up in coastal VA, so I'm not unfamiliar with hurricanes, although I'm clearly not the expert our Floridians are. I can't ever remember a storm acting anything like this.

That would disrupt the new EPCOT concept, no?

I'm not questioning wanting one, especially if it's free. I am questioning being willing to queue up for it, and even moreso pay $60 on eBay for a tchotchke.

Are there any outdoor rides that would be open in those kinds of winds?

Well, they've got to. I doubt it can retract if the line is in place.

Sue me, I really like the Groot and Rocket one.

I work on Long Island, and I see them on cars from time to time. Oftentimes multiple ones on the same cars. It seems like the Food and Wine ones are the same every year, and yet the vloggers kvell over them.

Can someone explain to a non-passholder why these are such a thing?
