"Grand Ole Opry" star Bill Anderson has written a new "Christmas" song and done a video for it. It celebrates our favorite late night restaurant (even right outside of WDW), and it has some cameos, too. Tanya Tucker (a "classic" country star that is riding high now with a new Grammy...

I cannot agree with you more. My family (all ages) watched the live parade over Christmas doings every year... but now the pre-taped infomercial is just not there. It has no kinetic energy, which the live parade had in spades. The enthusiasm was more fun and real. Compare the live Macy's...

No, they will say that their marketing was overly successful and caused people to stay away in the beginning to avoid the expected crowds at Galaxy's Edge the Riviera.

Maybe Disney will get the message from lack of sales. We can only hope.

Disney's latest Marriott! How gorgeous and uniquely themed! I know the apologists on this board hate our criticisms and expectations that Disney be exquisitely themed and unique; but it still should be the difference that makes the resort the reason that people come and stay here... when...

Or visiting MK during the '80s and '90s, except that you wouldn't have had to pay extra -- and you would have had the Christmas parade during the day -- and you would have had a night-time parade that was free.

Well, apparently Disney is running the Rankin-Bass classic "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" on its Freeform cable channel. So, they are paying the rights to air it there.

Great Walt reference. As for the thought itself, that kids love it: they would also love the real thing, if they were exposed to it regularly. This style was cute as a take-off of the classic Mickey; but the classic, well-drawn fluidly animated Mickey should be more commonly used -- and...

I hate this look. Just had to say it. Especially after the beautifully drawn and full movement and technicolor of the standard Mickey of the '40s and '50s shorts that has not been exceeded.

To me it is clear that, even though they own Fox now, the marketers at Disney still feel the need to lean toward "their" trilogy, and really almost take the "original trilogy" for granted. It's there, but they really feel no need to put it out front... perhaps almost intuitively keeping it from...

Exactly -- or, dare I say it -- record a new show or closing segment? We are talking about one of the largest, if not THE largest, entertainment companies.

Either way, they could solve this by paying the royalties (like nearly everyone else is, it seems) or cutting the song (like they did for other parts of the original show in the recent edits). No excuse for not having a Christmas show by the CBJ. The perfect setting.

Exactly. The most appropriate attraction for a Christmas overlay is ignored. Yes, people have said that it takes time to reprogram the bears -- yet, we can put a crane up over the castle in plain view for a month in the fall. Yes, people have said that at least one song (Rudolph) may have...

As a standalone series or as episodes of the MMC featuring it? Or were all of the "Spin and Marty" episodes of a season corralled (so to speak!) together as a movie? By the way, I have always appreciated the "Triple-R Ranch" references to "Spin and Marty" in Fort Wilderness. Nice touch.

As much as I understand your frustration, I say you are worrying too much too soon. This is a major rollout across the world, and the Verizon deal is also big with a lot of customers. It also seems to have been made relatively recently. On all fronts the details may be overwhelming. So, I...

I find it interesting that the website is sophisticated enough to figure out where it is sending the signal. I know that this technology exists (cookies or computer IDs I guess); I just find it interesting. I also wonder why certain things like the ones you mention are not available in certain...

That is one of the best ones to see Walt as host, particularly giving a view into his use of animation as innovation in storytelling methods.

I am completely with you on all of those. They are the company's touchstone heritage moments mostly. I would also like to see the complete 1950s Mickey Mouse Club and the Moochie series of films: Moochie of the Little League and Moochie of Pop Warner Football. I would also, like others...

Looks like it was timed to benefit from the new program on Disney+, "The Imagineering Story." The company used to get long-term benefits (loyal customers, better talent pool of applicants, etc.) from promoting the Imagineering side of the company. (Think, "Imagineer This" and "WDW...

The most significant thing cut from broadcasts, I think, was the second verse of Edelweiss.
