    Let's yell and scream at each other about the Frontierland Shooting Exposition

    Please explain. Why only men? and what is the use of learning how to hold a weapon ( I suppose if you live near dangerous wildlife or enjoy it as a sport)? I think a more relevant course of experience would be at 18 years old everyone learns how to use excel.

    Rumor Is Indiana Jones Planning an Adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

    I'm sorry you lost me when you said AK is not a "tree hugger", not sure what that even means or if it's meant to be a insult. Either way I think you were going with the argument that humans are also animals I'm going o have to disagree again on that one.

    BLACK PANTHER huge hit!

    Agreed...Although that is not the case with this film.

    BLACK PANTHER huge hit!

    Of course, sometimes a fantasy film is just fantasy. But I think you are selling the genre and specifically this film short, at least for it's cultural resonance. Or I could send you a few dozen links attributing to the films social reach as a defining moment for many demographics.

    BLACK PANTHER huge hit!

    I'm confused, are you saying that if the world and setting are fictional then the story cannot have a underlying theme that is both current and political? Fantasy and Sci-fi literature often delve into social and political commentary. One of the benefits of writing or storytelling in the genre...

    Good idea ? Or not

    Yeah I had my WDWMagic shirt back in 2008, sadly lost somewhere.

    I think I might be done with WDW.

    Pious, no, I don't think that would be a term to describe to Disney. Highly motivated, talented and with a strong creative vision of what he wanted to accomplish. I know people hate this comparison but he is akin to Steve Jobs. He was not without his flaws for sure but he (with a strong team...

    I think I might be done with WDW.

    Just a couple of points on this diatribe... It is possible to have a good experience but find some aspects of your vacation diminishing. Thus seeing enough value to travel to Disney and have a good time but still find some things lacking. Also actually there are place and things you can do...

    I think I might be done with WDW.

    I agree, the local parks are just insane during the summer. Locally I have Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. I would not even consider stepping foot in the place from June-September. And no, it's not cheap, I could spend 400-500 for a day trip including admission/food (family of 5/6). But...

    News 2018 ticket price increases

    Wow that nuclear option would be insane. So insane it may actually work. Like a play, concert or sporting event, they only sell 50K admissions per day for the MK, the price I am sure would be jacked up considerably. Would they draw enough if this left out APs, gate passes and Fl resident...

    I think I might be done with WDW.

    Except they just finished Blizzard Beach, WoL was open, Horizons was still running, BL tour was still going strong and DAK ( a whole new theme park) was being built. There were still slow seasons and in general the sharp pencil boys did not yet slash budgets to the bone. But if you cite the 3...

    Rumor Is Indiana Jones Planning an Adventure to Disney's Animal Kingdom?

    As noted several times, there are treatments to the Indy storyline that could shoehorn an attraction into DAK. But what do we know about Indy...He went looking for the Ark of the Covenant, he looks for the Holy Grail, finds a Crystal Skull. Man made (mostly) objects, as befitting and...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I don't think there will be more than 750 people in this resort per night (250 rooms). At $1000/night for 365 days bring you to a cool 275 million in revenue prior to upsells and merch. I wonder if any resorts are doing anywhere near half a billion a year.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Well for the foreseeable future 3-5-10 years yes, I'm sure those rooms will be sold out but to sustain the resort over the long haul demographics from across the board are going to have to be marketed to.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Well if this thread is any indication, I would beg to differ. This is a board of Theme park fans and many are still not understanding the need to stay inside the resort. This is not a really well themed hotel room, I think that is obvious but many here are not grasping that basic information.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    Great analogy, and I think that is where the struggle will be for Disney. How to market this experience and have people wrap their heads around this non-resort-resort. The LARPing crowd and the prototypical SW crazed fan(think Big Bang theory characters- tech millenials, single, lots of...

    I think I might be done with WDW.

    Love it leave it baby...always one of my favorite defensive responses. You can honestly say with a straight face that the Disney of 2018 is better than the Disney of 1996? Cleaner, more cohesive, more attractions? Better cast members? less crowded? What metric do you want to use? I...

    I think I might be done with WDW.

    Hold on?! what Goofy dancing with a "girly" parasol is PC? Or, are you trying to say that Disney is in active gayification of the characters? And this is somehow pandering to the liberal audience? I still don't understand the political correctness of this action but go ahead knock yourself out.
