    Does anyone have any insight on the story Testa had on his podcast today about there at least being talk about Disney selling their timeshare business?

    News Walt Disney World to resume sales of Annual Passes (New sales resume April 20, 2023)

    Has any resale DVC owner tried to buy the Sorcerer Pass? I have noticed that everything thing that Disney has put out about the pass never mentions having to have the blue card. It only says DVC owners.

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    Plus, if you don't have an AP you have other options for free parking at Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Just make breakfast reservations at one of the resort hotel restaurants.

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    @CastAStone brought this up on a different site and I happened to agree with him that the survey is a Discrete Choice test. I wouldn't count on what is presented as being what they actually offer to the public. They are just trying to gather information that let's them know what items people...

    Rumor Muppets to Take Over The Hall of Presidents

    Being likable has nothing to do with her serving in an exec producer role which she has done on other Disney films. She is a Disney Legend that has spoken up about not burying the Song of the South. She is perfect for the role of shepherding the project and giving it credibility. I am not...

    Rumor Muppets to Take Over The Hall of Presidents

    The answer to the Song of the South problem has always seemed pretty obvious to me. Just trying to bury it and acting like it never existed isn't the answer. Replacing a ride based on African American folklore with one based on German folklore with a black princess inserted, certainly isn't...

    Rumor Pirates Of The Caribbean "Refurbishment"

    The only places Jack is safe would be Shanghai and Tokyo. Depp is just too popular in Asia, probably bigger than any other US movie star. OLC and Shanghai Shendi wouldn't block any attempt by TWDC to remove Jack from their attractions.

    It has always been about ROI and how much they can get out of people.

    Zootopia at Animal Kingdom?

    LOL. I think I should point out that I don't think Zootopia would be the best use of resources in Orlando for multiple reasons, but protecting a theme at DAK isn't one of them. That wall has long been breached if it ever really existed.

    Zootopia at Animal Kingdom?

    The one thing I don't get about Zootopia not fitting the theme is how aliens, cryptozoology, time travel and a dog with a collar that let's him talk fit this theme they want to protect?

    News Disney's Magical Express to end after 2021

    This is different because for guest that take DME it is their first and last memory of their trip. When your first and last memory of your trip in Orlando becomes paying an extra fee for your trip, it changes your perspective on all the other extra money you have spent to stay on property. In...

    On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

    It won’t ever happen, but I would love if Chapek brought Eisner in as a consultant. I think those two could really compliment each other.

    On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

    I won’t want him back but many at that point will start forget what they didn’t like about Iger as nostalgia starts to set in.

    On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

    His legacy will take a decent hit when Disney’s PR machine isn’t managing it anymore and their goal shifts to building up Chapek, just like Eisner’s did when he was replaced. Then a decade later there will be a reassessment where people will start saying it would be nice to have Iger back, just...

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    I remember when Krispy Kreme was all the rage years ago. I never understood the desire of so many people to pay more for an inferior product. Eventually the hype wore off and people started using their brain again.

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    They are not going to need to raise ticket prices dramatically to decrease crowds significantly, increase gate revenues, and end up with increased per guest spending. When you take away the ability of 1 million people to visit the parks everyday at no additional cost to them, you are going to...

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    Exactly, attendance isn't and hasn't been the problem for them. The problem before COVID had been increasing complaints from their guests that are buying tickets, staying in their hotels, eating full meals at their restaurants, etc about crowds and a diminished park experience that results from...

    News Disneyland cancels Annual Pass program

    I think the new program will all be tied to how much money you spend in the parks and resorts. I am sure there will be some sort of membership that allows unlimited visits if you are willing to spend around $5k. Every other tier will limit the amount of times you can visit the parks per month...
