    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    To be fair, lots of places are 100 plus degrees June-Sept. Some places hit that and still get blizzards in November; both extremes. To be fair, didn't Houston get snow a year or so ago? It was so weird. The elephants at the zoo loved it though. I'd say though, it's weird for Houston to have...

    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    It's accessible with no nearby competition and plenty of people will be able to work there and visit. The rest is all stuff they deal with already domestically between DL and WDW, they'd manage, I think. No place is without issues. For example, Dallas is hot and has tornadoes, Arizona would be...

    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    To be fair to the fans, Disney hypes them all like E-Tickets. Heck, look at Moana. I cannot tell you how many people have come to me and asked me about the new Moana ride at EPCOT.

    Rumors. Musings. Casual.

    Just my two cents, but if Disney ever builds a third Disneyland in the US, they should consider the Houston area. It's a major city with no major theme parks in it, thanks to Six Flags. It's a bit close to WDW, but far enough to stand on its own, I think, and with two major airports. Only...

    Big River Grille and Brewing Works to close at Walt Disney World

    This is a pretty big deal just for its longevity, it opened in 1996 and kept a similar look the whole time. It's honestly more surprising that it lasted so long, I never knew of it being very good. Disney didn't mind it though, so long they got that rent check. So, it'll probably create a...

    Castaway Club Status Can Now Be Revoked?

    This will work two ways: 1. People will work to cruise every five years in order to keep their status. 2. People will lose their status, get upset and vow to never cruise with Disney again. Either way, it's not a good look. I don’t imagine that inactive cruisers are very costly to the company...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    I liked the dark ride, but SDMT is definitely the stronger attraction at least. I do wish they would put a new dark ride in that space though. My understanding is that nothing in the building would prohibit it today. The question is more of what IP to use, there's a lot of options between recent...

    EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    What do you think about this: what if the future spot of WoL/Play was devoted to a type of travel? It could tie the area together. Think about it; you already have vehicular travel, space travel, and time travel. You could do aviation, although the park already has Soarin'. You could do sea...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Solution: Reopen the WoL/Play pavilion with a new family friendly ride, shop, dining area, and theater. It'd provide both cover and things to do.

    EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    It'd be cool if they could maybe do a new take on If You Had Wings, or something. Any dark ride would make me happy. Especially in this wing of the theme park, sandwiched between Guardians and Mission: Space. Take that, toss in a theater show, add some shopping and exhibits and bam, you're...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I thought it was OK. Not as good as RoE, but better than Harmonious. It would be fun to eventually revive a version of RoE with this technology. It looks like it's designed for multiple shows. Smart move, honestly. Overall, a win, just because the lagoon looks better during the day.

    Wish (Walt Disney Animation - November 2023)

    Looking at the release calendar, what could undercut this film at the box office? I don't see much, maybe Wonka. There's a chance it could leg out in the coming couple of weeks, I agree, next week's box office will be a big indicator of this film's success. Not the best start, but it's too...

    Legoland Florida adding Sea Life aquarium, Ferrari attraction

    Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but have they ever described Sea Life as a theme park before? I wonder if there will be something more to it than the one in Orlando, for example. It'd be cool to have some indoor rides akin to Tokyo DisneySea, but I might setting the bar up too high. Anyone...

    News Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2023 Earnings Results Webcast

    That, definitely, that. I think a lot of Disney guests are taking cruises too. Even MSC is selling out. Disney is probably seeing it with DCL. Since they'll probably release it on streaming, soon people might be able to watch TSwift while taking a cruise. And not even a completely new...

    Disney's Streaming Services: Disney+ (and Hulu, ESPN+, Star, & hotstar)

    Just sharing some personal experience. We finally started our "with ads" era. It's not bad at all. I've had Hulu with ads for some time and that's gotten pretty bad, but Disney+, not at all. I do wish they wouldn't interrupt programming, but ads are usually 15-30 seconds and then you're on...

    News Walt Disney World Annual Pass price increases October 2023

    That's a great point, and I think that's why it's (Pirate Pass) so much higher. People have no choice, with kids in school and such. We had it (Pixie Dust) last year - hated it (going to be honest) - but we would just go after work for a few hours. We didn't feel as pressed to go on...

    News Walt Disney World Annual Pass price increases October 2023

    Isn't the Pirate Pass also Florida only though? That's what I mean, is it worth double - to a Floridian?

    News Ticket prices rise at Walt Disney World's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach water parks October 2023

    I could see that. As a local though, I have not interest in the waterparks as long as only one is open. That was the benefit to Disney's waterparks over Volcano Bay and Aquatica. They took away their advantage. To be fair, I don't believe that you can buy an AP to just Volcano Bay - not...
