    WDW Answer to Hagrid's/VelociCoaster

    A high intensity hyper or looping variant from B&M would probably only work in Hollywood Studios. We might get another Rip Ride Rocket, but I don’t think something that intense would fit MK or Epcot. A high intensity coaster in the forest would also work in Ak, but it’d have to be something...

    Simultaneous Boarding Group and Individual Lightning Lane Selection?

    In theory yes, but I doubt that'll work in real world. Based on how the boarding groups went last time, and how lightning lane works now, you will either be forced to choose to pay for Guardians OR try your luck with the lottery. If you pay you can also try the lottery for ride two at the second...

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

    Is there really any case where Disney wins? The governor establishes a district that gives him control over Disney - Disney loses, and may have to wind down Disney World when the governor wants to make changes to other Disney business units RCID is dissolved and the debt goes to the counties-...

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

    Whenever I come across an action like this, I think “what if the opposite occurred, or if someone who is opposite the perpetrator did the same, could I still support it” Would you feel it was ok if Obama (assuming he had the authority) took away the RCID for speaking out this exact piece of...

    Mask Mandates Dropping For Disney Transportation?

    That would've been easier with masks: "All Disney guests will be given 2 specially designed Disney masks, which will serve as your proof of stay and allow you to board Disney transportation. Additional masks can be purchased in packs of 3 for just $19.99"

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

    I wonder how many of these will not get replaced, seeing as quite a few are in areas of the state the governor isn't fond of or have names that suggest regulations the governor also isn't fond of

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    Sometimes I wish we had a program where you had to start over as if you were graduating high school, and get a sizable check after 3 months. Or if you had to start out as if you were exiting college with no experience and the typical amount of debt. I bet you’d even be able to goad people into...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    That’s why I don’t own a car, but that reality isn’t possible or going to change with this single development, or in the next 5 years for Orlando. It’s something we should be working towards, but I’ll also support any progress towards the present housing issue. Just because it isn’t perfect...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    On the other hand if rent goes any higher cast members won't be able to afford to work at Disney in any capacity, even with roommates. Eventually they'll run out of space. But right now we need all the housing we can get. I'm glad Disney's actually making an effort here, even if it may be in...

    News Disney mask policy at Walt Disney World theme parks

    There is nothing stopping someone from having COVID, being too early to test negative or feel symptoms, board a plane, land in NYC, head to a concert at MSG, spread COVID at MSG, board a train to NJ to stay for the night, and give it to the front desk people at the hotel, and then finally wake...

    News Disney CEO Bob Chapek hails the metaverse as 'the next great storytelling frontier' and sets up a new team at Disney to create new experiences

    I’ve separated this out because it’s a separate thought-the meta verse isn’t supposed to be a virtual reality, but closer to AR- Imposing an overlay onto the REAL world. Think personalized ads for you when you walk down Times Square, auditory instructions for directions while walking, seeing a...

    News Disney CEO Bob Chapek hails the metaverse as 'the next great storytelling frontier' and sets up a new team at Disney to create new experiences

    I don’t understand why this is so controversial. People go to DW to escape from reality, why wouldn’t they go to the Disney meta verse for the same thing? This could also be a really effective way to extend the park experience well outside the park’s boundaries. Imagine being able to go and...

    EPCOT Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    If everything my family’s said is true, the problem isn’t the show, but that the barges are in place, and there are limited viewing angles. There is 0 chance the latter problem isn’t hurting dining sales if that’s true.

    Waterstar Orlando Project

    Disney should’ve bought the land if they didn’t want anything near AKL. I’m rather happy that more apartments are being built in what is a growing area, and that they’re mixed use too!

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    SF parks started the charging per ride thing before Disney though. You can now pay for individual Flash Pass uses on your phone or at the booth, but not for the newest stuff. Now Disney has 100% normalized it and can point to them as an example. The standby line still is a thing thankfully...

    Defunctland deep dive on Fastpass

    The model Kevin used was from a day in 2019, so I think that OG fastpass was taken into account for 2019 crowd levels.

    Defunctland deep dive on Fastpass

    According to the Disney Food Blog, the Peoplemover has a capacity of 4600 guests per hour, which is extremely close. I'm not sure if we're allowed to link other sites though edit: was wrong-@marni1971’s got the answer on the next page. PM can NOT nearly allow every single guest visiting MK to...

    Defunctland deep dive on Fastpass

    He's still right. At 3200 guest/hour, 38,400 people can ride those rides in a 12 hour day. Despite this huge number, the MK reguarly has greater than 40k and 50k guests arriving in a particular day (according to TEA, that was 57,433 guests per day in 2019). The shear quantity of people now...

    Defunctland deep dive on Fastpass

    I remember when Fastpass+ was being rolled out and we were at a hotel beta testing it, and how much less we could do compared to other guests with the paper fast passes, and how inflexible Disney was to help make up for the experience. I also remember when Space Mountain went down and the rest...
