Love to see investments like this that can be done outside park hours with no negative effect on guests. I still wish they’d invest in some updates to the show itself, mostly the final act, but at least we still have this classic attraction.

I bought one of those tickets. I found it far from one of the best movies ever made. In fact, if I could go back, I wouldn’t have bought that ticket and would have been happy waiting for it on Disney+.

The DL ToT just always suffered from being compared to its cooler, older brother in Florida (my personal favorite which I hope never gets touched). Disney seized on this when the mandate came down to capitalize on the Marvel acquisition. ToT was an easy target and quicker to overhaul than...

ITTBAB is definitely my favorite of the 4D shows. An immersive theater that really feels like you’ve been transported and surrounded by amazing detail. The 4D effects blended seamlessly with the actual video (which are admittedly terrifying to most young kids that can only be compared to Alien...

I agree. DAK and Aulani are masterpieces in my opinion. It doesn’t mean Rohde is perfect, but I’d have a hard time naming a more influential Imagineer in the past couple of decades. I do fear DAK’s future without Rohde at the helm. Very few seem to value the authenticity and attention to detail...

I agree and wasn’t actually suggesting that Disney should expand the monorail. If their cash resort room prices weren’t so out of control, they might actually be able to keep them filled. DVC is the easy way out and will have an interesting effect once those contracts expire.

Yep, easier and cheaper to just keep converting those unoccupied hotel rooms to DVC units. Sad to see this happening to a great resort, and I’ve been a DVC owner close to 20 years.

Just about to say the same thing. Disney doesn’t need a parking garage to pack them into Epcot, they’ll even use the grass when there’s demand for it.

Any guesses on when Dinosaur might close? I’d like to pay my final respects.

This was honestly my first thought. I’m all for some added live entertainment but this one just feels weird to me, at least on video. Also a bit underwhelming for me.

Agreed, and I’ll add that if it’s the same price as the Wish, I’m also out.

Well the fact that they are offering up three generic quiet pools as the alternative for a 6 month refurb seems to support your idea. No chance I would pay the cash room rates or even dish out my DVC points for Yacht or Beach without Stormalong, particularly during the warmer months. Disney...

So cheap looking too! Looks like it’s made to be swapped out easily but why?

As much as I want to get off of my phone while in the parks, I’m not feeling great about this. Just not sure how many advance reservations they’re actually going to allow. With FastPass+ it was three which was a nice start, but that can really limit you if you get a later one and have to use all...

This became our main strategy at Disneyland last year and it happened by chance. It was an uncommon rainy few days there and attractions were going down constantly. As soon as one would, I’d book a LL immediately and then receive the bonus any-attraction pass. It was a fun game to play and...

Nice option if you’re rich enough but I can’t help but think that maybe this is why we went from something like Fountain of Nations and got what we did. It’s not bad, it could just be so much more. I guess a fountain would have gotten in the way of selling weddings. 😉

I have two kids and also teach yet have found other times to visit throughout the year. To each their own. My wife and I went Christmas week before having kids. Christmas Eve and Day were actually enjoyable. Then the 26th on was positively miserable. We went in with reasonable expectations and...

I just found the same thing. I assume that means each person would need to have their own device and app?

While you’re correct that capacity is the main issue, standby lines would still be more efficient without Lightning Lanes. It’s why standby lines are at least bearable in the morning until ride reservations start piling up. Then CMs have no choice but to clear the Lightning Lane by essentially...

While I don’t completely disagree with you, I can’t see how Disney could go this route after spending the past 25 years convincing us that Fast Pass/Genie+ is the key to having a great day at the parks. Price people out and many will simply stop coming altogether as they’ll fail to see that it...
