My post was more about the unintended psychological effect of categorizing attractions (i.e. the Country Bears Effect) causing uninformed guests to assume higher-category attractions are "better," and not about any intentional psychology in Disney's implementation of tiers.

That was the FP+ dilemma as well. Book too early, and you waste selections on walk-ons; book too late, and you lose out on availability.

You may be right; I'm still dusting the cobwebs off of my old FP+ planning knowledge. The psychology of attraction tiers just seemed like it might give a reason their could be lower T1 availability day-of. I'm really curious to see what happens when the actual usage data starts rolling in...

As you pointed out, the day-of availability of the most popular T1 LL should effectively be the same under LL-MP. However, the secondary T1 LL availability could suffer because I have a feeling the "Country Bears Effect" might come into play. One of the many interesting things in the...

Disney seemed to be at its best when there was a dreamer/pragmatist pair at the top like Walt and Roy, or Eisner and Wells. When there's one person making both the creative and financial decisions, it usually skews too far to one or the other.

It's actually slightly different than FP+. With FP+, you had to use all 3 pre-selections before you could select a FP for another park. With LL-MP™, you'll only have to use 1 before you can pick a LL in another park. From the FAQ on the Disney site... "Once you redeem a selection on the day of...

Finally trying to get up to speed on all of this. When G+ was announced, I didn't like it because the planner in me liked the certainty of FP+ pre-selections; I didn't like the idea of not knowing if or when I'd be able to get a LL with G+. Once I actually used it, though, and saw that there...

Exactly. What's more likely; that Disney and RCID let Gideon's build and operate a space that wasn't fully in compliance with their strict building and safety requirements, or that some anonymous person on the internet was throwing around unfounded hyperbole about the kitchen being a...

For those who haven't done so, I would suggest reading the full letter. Here are just a few "highlights." "There is an odor most foul in the Bakehouse. It is the stench of the fish rotting from the head." "Now, we, the collective, have banded together to deliver this tome- not as a warning...

Can someone with more legal expertise please explain how they have any legal grounds to refuse a deposition? Seems to this layperson like they're just trying the "nuh uh" tactic with no legitimate basis simply because if they had to answer questions under oath, it would be not so great for them...

Maybe it means the legislature should "rescue" the district by having the "courage" to do the "honor"able thing and "fire" the CFTOD board. 😏

Astro Orbiter. I don't have a fear of heights, and I usually enjoyed taking controllable rides up as high as I could, but I still remember the sense of dread I felt when I first went on it in the 80s. I finally went on it again 40-ish years later as an adult and I still had that same feeling...

A bit of Midwest geography nitpicking re: ep. 3. Wisconsin is not "across the lake" from Chicago. Wisconsin is on the same side of the lake as Illinois. The only states on the opposite side are Michigan and Indiana. Even if you ignore "across the lake" and assume they are really heading north...

It's infinitely better than Stargate 'n' Tacos, but I can't say I'm a fan of how far the pilings stick out of the water; they seem far too conspicuous and it makes the center of the lagoon look more cluttered than it needs to. I was hoping they just weren't finished, but it looks like they have...

Is the VQ just to handle opening day/week crowds, or is it a long-term thing? Seems odd to have a VQ for an interactive walking path. We'll be there next month, and if it's a walkthrough, I'll check it out, but if it's still VQ I don't think I'll bother.

The AI can get a bit confused when you specify multiple specific people, but I did manage this...

That was originally the leading theory given that they were loading people-sized boxes from "the catacombs," but the revelation in the finale that the Great Mothers were awakened by Thrawn has led many to speculate that they might be live Dathomiri in stasis rather than corpses.

With Ezra's line about how Thrawn "woke the witches," that's actually a popular theory - the "cargo" is a whole mess of Dathomiri in stasis.

There aren't really "Force witches" on Dathomir anymore - Grievous wiped out all but a handful of the Nightsisters - and Ezra's "escape" was just "impersonate stormtrooper, wait around in the hangar until they drop out of hyperspace, get in Baylan's shuttle and leave."; not really any need to...

When Morgan first arrives Thrawn says something to the Great Mothers like, "You've fulfilled your part of the deal, now I'll fulfill mine.", and then orders his men to start loading the cargo. So it seems like the cargo belongs to the Nightsisters and Thrawn agreed to haul it to Dathomir for...
