Disney's four hour presentation boiled down to one sentence: If you don't like Marvel or Star Wars, you are wasting your money.

It is not being explained this way by Disney. It is being explained here by some guy who claims these are Disney's concerns and yet he can't explain one of the major holes in his argument. Which is, "If either Disney or Anaheim is so convinced the current transit area is such a security...

People care about other people (how novel!). People care about public health and not setting precedent of allowing business to force people into worse health outcomes (Caring for you fellow man! That's Anti-Capitalist!). I too really hate housing next to the freeway, because it has been a...

It's stunning isn't it. Disney has a bunch of Ivy League educated MBA's who - when the situation really called for it - proved they can't actually think of ways to make money. But somehow the many, many, many other business who aren't worth billions of dollars found a way to adapt without...

"It's Newsom's fault! He's preventing Disney from getting any money!" "...But, Knott's is open just down the stree..." "IT'S NEWSON'S FAULT!!! DISNEY HAS NO WAY OF GETTING MONEY! ABSOLUTELY NO WAY AT ALL!"

This is idiotic.

Why? The dialogue is exactly what it is from the movie. The song lyrics in English will be exactly what it was in the movie.

I think the regulation is still clearance of three feet on each side of the vehicle. That's...not that big of a deal in terms of intimacy loss. Even many of the old Fantasyland dark rides probably already clear that pretty easily. Pushing sets back probably was part of the nickel and diming...

The Runaway Railway ride showbuilding at Disneyland has significantly different dimensions. So the overall content will probably be the same but the Disneyland threads know some things have to change because it is physically impossible for it to be a carbon copy.

I'm with you on all of that. Disney doesn't really design this way anymore, in which they try to make a believable, dense but small-scale urban environment. Even the new Beauty and the Beast area that just opened up in Tokyo doesn't seem right to me. The architecture of the individual shops...

I hate to give away my secret gems, but this time I'll make a lone exception, since there are only like 16 of us on here and the place I'll tell you about is actually blazingly popular for people in the know. There's a tiny little donut shop about two blocks away from the Resort area. They...

I mean, I've basically been saying this for the bulk of the Bob Iger era, and will basically continue to say under the Chapek era, since he was his lieutenant.

They don't even need to tear down Paradise Pier Hotel. There's plenty of room south of the hotel for sizable park expansion and it too can be easily reached by a tunnel from DCA.

Along with the posted image above, in the article it was revealed that this movie: - Replaced its two directors - Added one co-director - Gave one of the previous directors' the other "co-director" position - Added a producer who will "work with" the previous producer - Added a new writer who...

From my anecdotal knowledge, most of the people who stay at the Knott's hotel don't go to Knott's at all. It's just a relatively good budget hotel option for the Southern California area. I know plenty of tour groups that use it for their base at night - and lots of relatives who have used it...

Yep. The only way this book is worthwhile is to see all the various iterations beforehand. The plans from when the land was in alternate sites. The (I'm guessing) many, many blue sky attraction concepts. Numerous versions of various layouts. Showscenes that got rejected. Ride layouts that...

Apparently, ironically, it was not cheap. Tom Morris stated in an interview that he saw how much it cost and thought to himself, "You know, for that amount of money you could have built a brand new attraction." As we all well know, Imagineering is really, really bad with money.

I think step one of this is for us to actually agree on how much space is available at the strawberry lots. Darkbeer is claiming one thing. The maps is showing another. And I don't think anyone here is clear which of the surrounding housing properties around the lots are also owned by Disney...

What you've described is....a video game.

I don't know Chapek personally and don't at all like what I've heard about him, but his seems like eminently the better plan. It just jives well with a philosophy of "Do one thing well" or "small victories" instead of "biting off more than you can chew." Ok, enough cliches. But Iger's scale of...
