It's on the 50 years of Disney parks music CD I believe. Along with "listen to the land", lol.

Aside from the holidays and special events, they don't seem, to me, much more crowded than in years past.

Nope. But it's a gentle nudge that they want you staying on property.. You can skip the parking charge by taking an uber to the park, or by buying a room. But it benefits Disney to have fewer civilian vehicles on the property, and for people to use their already running mass transit network. It...

Yep. If the last two people given a lanyard (on that system) pocketed it instead of turning it in (after posting "I have been chosen!" to reddit first, of course), then the ride is going to display whatever it's last info was. The RFID tracking was supposed to fix that, but I have no idea if...

Of course they would have that information. That box that says "Actual" is what the RFID tracker/red badge/however they are tracking it is reporting, and the other is how you change the sign out front. I'd _assume_ the sign is going to run an average, or else it would be changing every 5...

How are they factoring the wait times? Still doing red lanyards? Have they put the long rumored real time tracking of the long range RFID in the magic bands into place, to get constant realtime updates? Were they using ANY actual metric based on real people, or just a computer that was...

Well, it IS the competition down the road's current ad campaign.. "when they are ready for a big boy vacation" or whatever. I'm far from being a kid, and still find things to enjoy about Disney, every trip, and even though I enjoy thrill rides, I don't need them to be the biggest, fastest, or...

I'll always go for longer, even if it means a step down in room level.. (currently we are double booked, BC and PO:FQ for a trip in March, waiting to see if rates or finances change between now and then, where we will drop one), to account for a bad weather or illness day. Seems every trip...

That was just role research for Lone Ranger.

I doubt it. It's not like they are erasing the Depp movies from the collective consciousness. It still moves merchandise, and gets people on the rides, and made Disney a tidy sum. Of course, if he pulls a Cosby or Geoffrey Jones, then you might see Sparrow erased from the rides.. otherwise, I...

You call it a money grab, others call it an industry standard that they never implemented before.

We are in the midst of a huge nostalgia boom right now though. You have MacGuyver, SWAT, Magnum PI, and other reboots on TV, Charmed is coming out again, and older (not just talking about the DC and Sonyverse habit of making three and then starting over with comics) movies are being redone with...

New parking trams and the fuel to run them. Lights. Staff. Maintenance. Road expansions to the roads TO the parking. You know, the same reason part of the cost of your airfare goes back to the airport.

The DL one is in Tomorrowland, with GE clear on the other side of the park, right? (Not that familiar with the Cali layout)

It's this weird circular logic thing. The parks are their biggest advertising venue, so it's how they get the word out about their projects and upcoming films, and then they feature those films in the parks. People seem to get cranky about IP in the parks, but it's been there since day one. r...

Star tours still gets lines. I don't see any reason they would pull it and make it something else, rather than stick to the brand they have invested a literal ton of money into, as SWGE opens. Maybe some new videos featuring GE, but it seems nonsensical to me to pull out known and adored SW...

We have found that the meal plan (base level) either works or does not work depending on how many TS we use, (and which ones). I think you can sub sides for a dessert now.. that always drove me nuts. I don't do carby sugary stuff, so would always be leaving, effectively, 1/3 of my meal either in...

Oh please no.. can we get away from a simulator that you can ride in several shopping malls? Build an actual mine train. Coasters are relatively cheap.

If you are talking price, Disney is in it's own class. Universal is getting there, with a few resort properties, but Disney is really the 800 lb gorilla. It handles more people, with more rooms, more transportation, food, etc etc and so forth than any other similar destination in the world...

My EF 24-105 L series Canon. It's my best all around shooter for places where you want everything from landscape to portrait, and even kinda can do closeups.
