    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    I think they’ll still care, it may not be their money at risk but it will still be their reputation at risk. I hope this is the name, drop land and world and just a simple Disney Abu Dhabi.

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    This was not on my bingo card. We manage to golf in 110’ heat here in Vegas but that’s about it, everything else outdoors (that’s not pool related) is pretty miserable for 2-3 months out of the year, the flip side is the other 9-10 months are pretty pleasant for outdoor activity.

    Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*

    Maybe I just associate them to D+ because of the same day release of Black Widow, I forgot it was even released in theaters so I associate Yelena, Taskmaster, and Red Guardian to D+, John Walker and Countessa (Julia Louis Dreyfus) were from Cap + Winter Soldier so I also associate them to D+...

    Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*

    They should have called it the D+ Avengers rather than the New Avengers, it’s a team up of all the D+ hero’s but unless you watched the D+ shows you likely have no idea who any of them are. I don’t understand the rebranding, as the Thunderbolts I thought it was doing pretty well, as an...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    That should solve the “political” talk issue.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Tariffs are now being applied to movies which could have major affects on production budgets and the box office, people were struggling to talk about the implications without getting into the politics behind it though. Probably best just to leave it at that.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Black Panther also, technically Deadpool too but that was Fox at the time and not part of the MCU, but for the most part I agree that Thunderbolts is in the same ballpark as other debut stories.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    To be fair Disney was pretty late to change expectations also, they’ve made a bunch of movies over the last few years that had ridiculous budgets. If a studio continues to spend $250-350 million making a movie you have to assume they were expecting it to make at least $600-900 million also. I...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Depends on what you’re comparing it too. Compared to the Marvels $45 million opening weekend it’s solid, compared to other post Covid MCU flicks (that aren’t sequels) it’s about average, compared to the Avengers peak when they consistently had $250 million (or more) opening weekends it’s...

    Disneyland Resort - New Entry Gates Incoming?

    I think it’s growing pains also, DLParis has similar turnstiles and we liked them when we went a few years ago, it was a fast and easy process and the CMs were all friendly and welcoming. Give it a month or 2 and it’ll probably be seen as an upgrade. (Something I wish I could say more about...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    $500 million looks likely, not great but not horrible either. This is another apples to oranges comparison, one is looking at box office only, the other is looking at box office, digital, streaming, etc. Unfortunately I think this is true, the Marvel name, along with Disney and Star Wars...

    News New 2025 Florida Resident Summer Magic Ticket Starts at $60 Per Day at Disney World

    Same, open this offer to everyone and we’d be looking at hotels and flights. As a non FL resident this just makes me not want to go though, it’s hard enough to justify flights and $300 a night for a moderate hotel but on top of that they now want me to pay double what locals pay for tickets...

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    That would be nice but we found the walk enjoyable, a few sunshades/canopies would probably resolve 90% of the issues. We were surprised how many golf carts were running back and forth, we wondered if they’d added more carts since they were so frequent. Works but seems like someone getting...

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    We didn’t meet any characters either but we loved, and took photos with, the character based photo backdrops, a nice blend of Disney with some touches of Bahama style.

    Lighthouse Point to welcome guests in Summer 2024

    We found the buildings themselves kind of bland but the beach and surroundings are stunning. We had plans to see the Junkanoo band, check out the play area, explore the craft area, etc but we ending up shopping when we first got to the island and then hit the beach, which we didn’t leave except...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Very lucky, one of the primary reasons I no longer go to movies is I’m annoyed by the talking, phone lights, etc… I’d love to have a good old fashioned drive in nearby. We have one but it’s all the way across town, not convenient at all. Meet up at a Disney park and we’d all be too busy...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I agree that Stitch will be this summers big hit, or the next big hit since Minecraft was already a big hit, but among my friends Thunderbolts has pretty good buzz already, I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up in the $700 million range. I’m getting a Guardians vibe from the trailers and that...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    They sounds a lot closer to happening than my Google search did. Seems like every time I turn on ESPN this week (for hockey) they are talking about Shedeur Sanders, everyone seems to agree he has talent and potential but his off the field issues are harming his career options… I think Zegler...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Correct me if I’m wrong (since I had to Google it) but doesn’t “being shopped” mean they have a script and are trying to find someone to bankroll it? Until a studio, production company, or financial backer decides it’s worth risking their money on the movie it’s just an idea.

    News New Haunted Mansion Grounds Expansion, Retail Shop Coming to Disneyland Resort in 2024

    Wow, I knew it looked worse but the side by side is shockingly worse.
