That was remarkably bad. I’m sure the X-Wings would have been cooler in person. The story was unnecessary and cringe inducing. Dang, that was bad. His prepared remarks were very pointed. He paraded out the recent win Disney logged with the Mandalorian. He emphasized again and again that the...

Thanks for the post! Yeah, I guess it may just be a wash. The DVC and ability to take profits on unreleased films is a positive, but as you point out, they also transferred some revenues to other divisions.

It appears there is extremism on each side. These results were an overall strong affirmation of the The Walt Disney Company’s direction. As we all know, we don’t care about the company generally (well maybe we do a little). We care about Disney’s Parks! Let’s get rid of the clutter, and zero in...

Because, presumably, it’s in Disney’s self interest to make sure people don’t have a crappy vacation. May I be as bold to say, that it’s in Disney’s FINANCIAL interest to make sure guests feel satisfied at the end of their experience. Why? Think, if you will, about commercial fishing. Various...

Dang, that story is actually pretty scary. I’m a little dumbfounded by how it all went down though. Obviously people heavier than him had gone on the Punga Slides before. What made his experience so violent? Was he doing something in particular that made him suffer the accident? Did he have a...

Nooooo! I would be so sad if this happened. Dinosaur will always be one of the favs. I’ll never understand WDW fan’s fixation with Indiana Jones. We have a dope SciFi adventure! There is time travel, jeeps, and dinosaurs in ONE ride! Plus some cool underlying messages... They have an audio...

Let’s see... 1) Toy Story Land- Attractions launched with one restaurant. TSR, shade, and other props that should have been there from day one are coming little by little. 2) Avengers Campus DCA- First Mission: Breakout. Then Spider-Man. Finally we’ll get the E-Ticket. 3) Avengers Campus HKDL-...

If Joe Rohde and the DAK team manage to finesse Journey to the Center of the Earth... I almost don’t want to dream of that. That attraction would be a beautiful thematic addition to Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The hubris of man cutting into the Earth to harness its power. The Earth literally...

I’m of the mindset the information is correct, but the story of working at TDO is wrong. He’s already revealed enough details for any press person to find out who he is. He’s a cast member who has a history at the GMR and has worked at two other parks. That narrows it down significantly. Then...

:oops: So this is what George K. is up to now...

Totally agree. The Force Awakens began the march towards this discontent. Think about the characters from the original trilogy. Everyone of them has regressed and was doing exactly what they had been doing before. Han Solo was diminished to goofy comedic relief. The plot was really dumb. Imagine...

I think you’re interpreting the graph incorrectly. What you circled is only when NWS is compelled to issue an alert. The chart is not saying that you must experience two days of that level of heat before it’s a health danger. If that were the case, it would be very rare for anyone to get a heat...

I don't get it. SB castle is scaled to be a whole castle. The new castle shrinks it down by wrecking the forced perspective. It seems like a clean build would have been easier and looked better. Is their any reason they kept the original castle there beyond trying to be cute? Has there been any...

This number is inflated. $750 Million of that comes courtesy of the beleaguered Hong Kong government. $2.3 Billion will be invested into Tokyo Disney Sea’s new port. Around $500 Million USD to finish off Tokyo Disneyland's expansion. Say Zootopia ends up costing 300 million, so there's another...

What are you talking about? Bob Chapek told me that Epcot isn’t Disney at all! That’s why they’re adding REAL Disney like Guardians of the Galaxy! Now that’s DISNEY!

EPCOT Forever does not appeal to new guests, because of an excessive number of references to EPCOT Center that most people don’t know. It also is managing to tick off the guests who should have liked it. This is classic Disney. Disney will proceed to wonder why this show will fail. They will...

It actually makes sense. We all know Aladdin and Jasmine live in Morocco, so it fits! ;)

Building new lands, rides, hotels, and parks are a bet on the future. Disney California Adventure was so under built, that any expansion was HUGE. Thus the success of Cars Land. But with higher attendance than ever before and higher prices than ever before, Disneyland Resort might be hitting a...

Let's do some math! According to various news sources, Disney's hotel was going to get $267 Million over 20 years. That number actually tells us a great deal. First let's divide by 20 and we get $13,350,000 per year in reimbursements. We know that number is 70% of 15% of the new hotel's total...

I had completely forgotten about Potter's muggles story. That may be the best critique of the decade's most successful theme park land. It's pretty foundational stuff that has proven extraneous. The same general story is now in Frozen Ever After, Pandora, and even Toy Story Land. Tokyo Disney...
