Totally agree, also rare examples of recent Disney successes. When they get the characters right they tend to succeed.

For the most part I agree, I think the bigger problem is the mindset behind Disneys “girl boss” ideology. Disney doesn’t know how to make good, relatable, female characters because they are terrified of giving them flaws, or a weakness, or having them grow… their female characters don’t look...

The first few years I was going almost monthly, I think one year it showed I went 36 days. The last few years we had APs we were down to a weekend trip every 2-3 months though, probably 12-15 days a year. Many of those “days” were half days though, with my 4+ hour drive a typical trip would...

Good point, which makes me feel the lineup is even weaker, if I AM in the target demographic and my response is “meh” that spells trouble at the box office. Tron is the only movie on that list that has me tempted to see it in theaters, I have no doubt I’ll watch Spinal Tap 2 on streaming (and...

This is how we view DLR also, including DTD and the Disney hotels, to us it’s all just one giant park where we’d go back and forth between all of it several times every day. I chuckled when I read your second line because we let our APs go in Feb, expecting to still visit every few months, and...

Yikes. As a 50+ I’m not the target demographic anymore but that is a weak lineup all around.

My theory is Disney forgot what young men dream of being…having a light saber, having powers, and saving the Princess is what young men dream of, or being invincible, muscle clad, and defeating the bad guys, that’s what young men dream of, or being a spy with cool gadgets, who women fawn over...

Disagree, something on this scale is a team effort, its not like he designed the layout and then the Disney creatives were hand tied into fitting things into those spaces, this is a massive collaboration, she could have changed design flaws before construction began, had she recognized they were...

Or $4 billion on a male dominated superhero franchise 15 years ago… it’s wild Disney has to search for something to appeal to young men when they already own the 2 biggest brands that (used to) appeal to young men.

My GF lives in San Diego and my first cruise was a 4 day cruise to Mexico on the Dream, it was so convenient to just drive to the port and walk across the street. We had fun in Ensenada but it’s not a place we’re aching to go back to, it spoiled me a bit because it was so easy to get to and...

They’re already perfect, no need to remake them. As someone who doesn’t have HBO I had no clue who he was prior to season 2 of Mando, season 1 he was simply a faceless voice, I think Hollywood wants him to be a star far more than audiences do. He’s a fine actor but he hasn’t done anything...

Trash is a bit harsh but I agree with the sentiment, the Dream and Fantasy are near perfection. The spa area specifically is spectacular, It’s wild we went from ships where you can sit in a hot tub, lay on a hot bed, or sit in a sauna and watch the world go by to ships where you sit in the...

I wonder if the availability of keys is based on actual sales or if Disney is intentionally creating FOMO to create demand? 2 years ago we didn’t renew our passes and then second guessed ourselves when they were “sold out” for a few months, when they reopened sales we jumped on the opportunity...

We found the entrances to the specialty dining area very confusing also, you’d either have to walk up stairs through the buffet area or get off the elevator on deck 12 and then walk through completely unmarked doors. We stumbled across the sports court attempting to find the specialty dining...

I think they did this with the last refurb several years ago… still more counter space than most recent refurbs though, I could see them going to desks like many of the others. I love the current lobby, I’m hoping this is just a paint and polish.

I think this is true for 80% of the issues but some of the “questionable” design choices could be easily remedied even on the same class, the water slide being an easy example, one of the things we found disappointing on the Wish was the loss of the glass tubes and the views they offered, that’s...

It will be interesting to see what happens with future Spider-Man movies after the next (last) Tom Holland film, he’s been insanely popular in that role. It will also be interesting to see if Sony continues to partner with Marvel Studios or if they go back to solo projects since the MCU is...

If you currently go 9 days every year (or more) it may still make sense, if you start “adding” trips though your pass will ultimately cost you more in the long run than you currently spend now. Another thing I didn’t mention above is an AP mentally turns Disney into your primary travel...

I’m on the opposite coast but was an out of state DL AP for 12 years, until this year when we didn’t renew. A decade ago it was a no brainer because the break even point was about 5 days, unfortunately as the AP price increases have outpaced the day ticket price increases it’s become a harder...

Hopefully they’ll put someone in charge of the next class who's actually been on a cruise, I still find that one of the most bone headed decisions ever. I understand wanting an outsiders opinion but can’t imagine a dumber decision than putting someone in charge of a multi billion project who...
