    News Blippi’s Wonderful Talent Show filming at Walt Disney World this week

    I just learned for the first time that they changed the actor a while ago. lol I didn't even notice. 😅

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    This may have been discussed already, but does anyone know the likely 50 year expiration for this resort? Do you think they'll go off the original pre-pandemic date or when they restarted the project? Boardwalk for example, didn't open until 1996, but its expiration is set from 1992. If they...

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    I will say, Disney definitely comes across as a premium product compared to the others. We got our luggage tags in the mail today, I forgot that they did that still. Pretty much all of the other cruise lines just send you an email and have you print them off. Disney has a lot of little things...

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    I hear that, actually. MSC doesn't split either, if I recall correctly. Completely agree though that all lines have their strengths. For us, MSC gave us a butler, private pool area with two hot tubs, premium food and snacks, premium beverage package, a bottle of alcohol in our room, access to...

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Don't forget MSC. We got status matched straight up to their Diamond status with just ten Disney cruises behind us. Got some great benefits, but the Yacht Club experience was cheaper than an inside room on DCL (at least at the time). We went straight to the top area of the ship for the same...

    DHS MuppetVision 3-D's Future: Potential Disney Park Venues and Vision Pro Immersive Experience

    I think short of building a new theater in DHS, possible short of them being willing to pay for it, Magic Eye would be the only option for a physical relocation. It has pretty much nothing in it right now, I believe a close capacity (both are 550ish seats, I believe), would be well received next...

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    Keep in mind, we're local to Orlando (Seminole County). However, I have people reach out to me all the time about Walt Disney World vacations since many people from my small hometown know that I used to work for the company, I was "the Disney kid" at my school growing up. When they eventually...

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    Disney's problem longer term is that IF attendance continues to decline for the groups at the bottom end of the income spectrum (I'm not going to make a prediction that it will - this is hypothetical), it decreases the value for the groups at the top, especially since they want to continue their...

    News Disney’s Q1 FY25 Earnings Results Webcast

    I actually have a box set of Stanger Things S1 on DVD (maybe Blu-ray), but it's designed to look like a VHS tape. I bought mine at Target a ways back. Felt like it was a pointless purchase though.

    News Jellyrolls Announces Departure from Disney's BoardWalk at Walt Disney World

    I saw the jazz rumor too, which humored me because that was one of the first PI clubs to close, if I remember correctly. That and the skating club, but that was more due to the fact that alcohol and skating didn't mix well.

    Announcement Consolidating Subforums into “WDW Parks News, Rumors, and Current Events”

    I love that you can filter by prefix too, very nice move. You can see it all or just a certain prefix. Love it!

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Ugh, they're going to make me visit DHS in the first half of the year. Guess I can always park at DHS and take the Skyliner to EPCOT. Not much I care to do in DHS, but for Muppets, I must. I was hoping they'd just have a maze of construction walls. I've grown used to them.

    MK Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    If they ever touch the tiki room again, I just hope the can somehow work in Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing. It's pretty harmless.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    There were already some animals in Dinoland. Nothing like tigers or gorillas, but there's a lot of smaller animals in the actual tropical region that they could technically use, if they wanted to. That last part is the issue. Talking about capacity, I think it'll be just above 2017 levels, when...

    News Disney Lakeshore Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    WL has the boats, but I always felt like the point of it was to feel more isolated, without really being isolated. Like the most convenient escape to the wilderness ever. Keep in mind, when it was built (mid-90's), you had Discovery Island and River Country right there.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I have to say, I do love the lights at this time of year. I do hope that Tropical Americas will have some nice holiday decor as well, maybe even better holiday decor. I was pleasantly surprised that they still had it all up at DAK this weekend.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I see what you're saying, I feel like nothing in Joe Rohde's design was truly an afterthought. That's something that's changed since he departed, IMHO. He thought of everything in his design. Except a way to fix the Yeti easily if it broke. 😆

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    You replied to my post. Are you implying that I meant only significant animals? It didn't need to be significant, IMHO. Not looking to start something, I just never said anything about the "significance" so it's unclear to me why that matters.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Honestly, my post was a plant to shift discussion away from TSL, but I do think Dinoland was always intended to have some members of the animal kingdom in it, even if they weren't significant. I believe that even the old Pocahontas show used birds. So, originally, animal life was found in every...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    It really does blow my mind that real animals were an afterthought for this land, given its biodiversity. Almost like they were caught off-guard that people would ask about it.
