It is amazing how much Disney feels like they can keep cutting without driving away customers. I have a 2 YO and new baby on the way. I have been to WDW over 20 times in my life. To think it may be me and not my wife (who never even went as a child) who puts the breaks on future vacations is...

IllumiNations was one of the best if not the best theme park night time shows I have ever seen (tough to choose between it, Spectromagic and the current Tokyo Disneyland night parade). I can still remember it so well and how I always associated Rhapsody in Blue as the "US Pavilion" theme as a...

Well 2020 just keeps getting worse! Let's park these stupid fountain things in the middle of the lagoon so we can.....block some view of the GotG box, block out AA???, hide Soaring from Norway... Really disappointing but Marni atleast dropped hints softening the blow. How many years before we...

Disney feeling good about the Pfizer vaccine news and hoping we can get back to normal by the 50th????? We can all hope!

The Swan and Dolphin are definitely going to hurt with the loss of the convention business for the foreseeable future so this could be a cost saving strategy. This really hurts the desirability to stay at the Swan and Dolphin. However, I am not sure how many non-regulars would even know that...

I know the AK opened a bit over 20 years ago but it is insane to think that one ride (a ride that is set mainly in an unthemed box!!!) can cost more than 1/2 an entire theme park which is the largest by size. Disney needs to clean house at WDI and other departments which allow such large cost...

Really nice to see you back - I did not post as much during your heyday but always loved reading your material, Lee and of course the still present Marni. As a person who loved going to WDW in the late 1980s and 1990s with my parents, I am actually not saddened too much to see the WDC about to...

I totally agree with the 2nd part. I am hoping, management concludes we know it is making a ton of money and most people love it. So we change the DL ride in say 3 years but keep dragging our feet. 4 years from now society is focused on another election, one or two of the Bobs are gone and...

Let’s hope park management and ops see how SM consistently has the longest wait times. Maybe if there are changes to upper management at WDC there can be some more movement to leave the ride in Florida alone.

Our own theRealBobChapek - once he is made the scapegoat ;)

The article below should be required reading for this thread - I do not want it to be too political but most of it pertains to this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-16/barr-says-disney-apple-and-other-firms-are-now-pawns-of-china This is a really good article which supports some...

I may agree with you I was just replying to WDWpros post

They may be but that is another subset of a subset. Disney used to try to appeal to the entire family and as many people as possible. No smaller and smaller subsets of people. also to clarify I am fine with the Colin K. Hiring for content as it may be interesting. I would rather that signing...

The fact that Disney continues to fear boycotts (by one subset of our population over potential subscribers) over what their long-time theme park guests prefer/have loved for years really scares me for the future (as a theme park guest/fan). Maybe we need to hope Disney divests itself of the...

The best flume in the US - SM in Orlando’s Magic Kingdom!

2020 has been a terrible year and COVID-19 has killed so many people. That being said it is always nice to look for a silver lining... WDW Pro has given me hope that SM may survive!!!

The more we learn about the budget and possibility of only 3 characters appearing, this whole conversion sounds like a dumpster fire. Let's say the budget even is $50 mil (per coast) - how much of that will do to demo and track modifications/poss changes? Knowing Disney that could prob be...

Maybe we can hope this makes as much progress as the Mary Poppins ride and the Main Street Theater have which were also featured on the Disney parks blog.

Pro you make some great points here. Appeasement is never a good strategy especially when used in a way that actually will not help anybody it is aimed at (African American social justice issues will not suddenly disappear because we do not join Brer Rabbit on his journey). It will ultimately...

Why not create a new PatF ride behind Splash Mountain so we increase capacity? Why not add a tasteful statement plaque or video in the queue explaining how the actual SM ride shows how people can come together to rise above race/racism to have fun? Why has the WDC company fallen so far in the...
