    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    I'll add that I do not think Disney considers Universal the competitor that most people want to think that they are. Its a fun place to go for a couple of days but that it. Even tacking on a Seaworld day does not compare to a Disney Vacation. Epic will get them closer but they still have a ways...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I can honestly say I have never followed a thread on wdwmagic that continues to go in endless circles like this one. What we are witnessing here is special. People will be talking about the DAS thread for years to come.

    I dearly miss the Wave lounge. It was cool and dark and was an absolute hidden gem as a break from MK.

    I've found if you're going to go to Universal, just buy the AP and go more than once. Get the premier pass and you get express pass after 4pm.

    Agreed. Why not sell a cheaper pass to an out of stater who could come down during a non peak times. But....since I'm paying $1500 per pass, we are going to clog up lines during Christmas week.

    Oh I wasn't disagreeing with you. I was merely pointing out their lack of investment back into the parks is the reason they are where they are.

    MK The Hall of Presidents closing for refurbishment on January 20, 2025 [Reopened June 29, 2025]

    HOP is an attraction that pulls on peoples heartstrings like COP. And I'm sure it was great tech 50 years ago and got plenty of ooh's and aah's but in today times, it just doesn't belong. If I go to the parks yearly, I may drop in on HOP every 5 years? maybe. I can't imagine I'm the only one...

    The simple answer would be cut prices to bring in more guests to increase revenue. To the parks, hotels and restaurants......except for that little pesky capacity issue they've been sticking their head in the sand.....for the last 2 decades

    One thing I've noticed about the top 20% of income earners, they have a lot more expenses than I do.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    If it could be done all over again from the beginning, I think an on ground rail system would have been the most efficient. 2 to 3 hub locations with higher end resorts offering direct access to a park.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner

    Guessing Disney knew this going in but did it anyway so they could increase room prices at 4 resorts.

    Pools are too strict on balls

    I was going to suggest ditching the speedo for looser fitting swim trunks.

    Can We Limit The Size of a Backpack

    Backpacks do not bother me. I give people personal space in line and I like people behind me to give me personal space. Standing 6 inches from me is not going to get you on the ride any faster.

    DAK “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater

    Step 1. For nearly 3 decades, staunchly fight off this moniker that you are NOT a zoo. Step 2. Build attraction named Zootopia.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    Do we know if employees are being assigned there or sentenced? Looks very penitentiary-ish.

    Why has Disney stopped expanding globally?

    I agree with others. DCL is where it's at right now.
