    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I heard it was not testing well from a Cast Members brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate, and that part of the delay is for ongoing adjustments with the effects and overall experience to address this. Now we got the out of the way, can we readdress the original question? Has anybody...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    That is one blogger. I am questioning for average guests with real world feedback from the previews.

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I heard this is not testing well during previews. Can anyone else confirm this attraction is receiving poor feedback from previews?

    News Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023

    I heard they were canceling all Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween parties after September 15th because Christmas decor will be out by then. Any tickets purchased for the originally scheduled Halloween party will be automatically transferred to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

    I believe they are super capacitors located on the roof of the gondolas that are charged when in the stations.

    News Walt Disney World Monorail gets an upgraded sign at TTC, including undercarriage lighting effect

    You got me. First, you made a perfect comparison argument relating the monorails with manly trucks that still have undercarriage lighting. Two, I now see this is a proper concept, whatever that means. As an additional point, it is now a cool styling choice because 90s and 80s retro is the now.

    News Walt Disney World Monorail gets an upgraded sign at TTC, including undercarriage lighting effect

    I really dislike the undercarriage lighting. It reminds me of cars from the late 90's when customization and car audio was a thing. It actually makes the monorails look even older and outdated than they are.

    Unpopular opinions about the parks?

    I never associated, or heard of an association between Country Bear Jamboree to country music. It typically is synonymous with county living, not country music.

    Unpopular opinions about the parks?

    I don't like shows without live music. I have grown tired of people dancing around to recorded music. Which is also why I do not watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Lip Sync Parade. When I was a kid, I remember live bands in front of the castle. There should be more live entertainment in the...

    Unpopular opinions about the parks?

    I kind of like Journey into Imagination with Figment, and have defended it over time on this forum. As a kid from the 80's my memories of the original, specifically the literature room, was terrifying.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    From what I understand, it started with DeSantis allowing Disney to open during the pandemic, in an attempt to help Disney and cast members during that time, and Disney didn't acknowledge it.

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    So maybe getting rid of ABC Family in favor of a more steamy Freeform wasn't such a good idea?

    News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

    And I will argue that is not correct. Better pay leads to short term satisfaction, and does not lead to improved job performance. Any boost in morale will only last a few months. Those who were not happy before, will revert back to that state months after.

    News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

    I agree. I am just suggesting for improved guest satisfaction, the Disney difference, is reflected by front line CM's, and increasing pay is not a long term solution for outstanding service.

    News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

    I wouldn't expect an increase CM's job performance. Historically, and proven, pay increases result in only short term job satisfaction. A few months from now, CM's who were previously dissatisfied, will continue to revert back to being disgruntled. Pay is only one factor in recruiting and...
