Disney should be building out the other parks to achieve their revenue growth goals. Epcot and Animal kingdom with 4-6 more attractions each could add millions more people per year. The park pass would enable them to keep each park at the right level of guests. Magic Kingdom without new lands (...

The money spend on signage and re-doing entrance arches etc would be better relocated to redoing Imagination and adding more to do in Epcot. Spaceship each needs a refurb and a complete new descent.

Will this stop the resort boats from returning?

I just think if they where wanting to do Security checkpoints in 2019/20 they would have integrated the security seamlessly in these new very expensive garages. This feels more knee jerk to me.That is why I think we still have a chance of this going away. But who knows! I was hoping for some...

They are losing a large portion of the Lime Garage level 2 for this , plus the 2nd floor ramp into garage being closed that causes a back up out on Buena Vista Drive. This is less than Ideal long term. Also the people walking in from Saratoga that cause another expense. It will interesting to...

Why the long lead time to have Donald repaired? They haven't been in place nearly as long as other animatronics that seem to be repaired in place in a reasonable amount of time. Just trying to understand why they would want to operate this way.

Does Disney have repair/referb capability in house? Do they rely on Garner Holt for everything or just new builds?

Well, when they put in Temperature checkpoints a the entrances to Disney springs they IMHO knee jerk added security check points as well. They have never had these at any of the iterations of Disney's outdoor shopping/dinning area in the past.

I hope the security check points at DS go away now that the temperature checks are soon to be a thing of the past. I can't see Disney wanting to pay for them. Do most of you think these will go away or will Disney keep them around long term?

Didn't Disney close/sell off MAPO to a outside company and then contract with them for animatronic work a few years back? This could be the source of the slow response. Disney is so foolish to let these core functions leave the company. Management is losing the institutional knowledge of how to...

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I always find the engineering of WDW fascinating .

So why does it seem to take them so much longer than has in then past to build a ride? Universal seems to move much faster. I always thought it was for cash flow reasons , but that was just a guess of coarse.

Marni, If they left the load and un load in the same positions and then replaced the track and last free scenes of the ascent , all of the decent and whole "play" area you finish in, wouldn't that save time and money? What do you think is the actual time it would take if this wasn't stretched...

Won't Disney Springs go back to no scan and check point after covid is deemed over? It was always ( in all it's iterations) just a outdoor mall you just walked into. I get the covid temp scanning but beyond that why the security?

The bedrock problem Disney has, is not enough ride capacity for the number of guest they have in normal times. (2019) So whatever plan they come up with for Fastpass and standby will probably always be weak because of that flaw. They need more high capacity rides to soak up the people. Disney in...

Any ride ,any time is a recipe for very long FP lines on headliners. The return times have to be metered based the rides capacity so the time in line is short enough.

I think a any ride and time type of Fastpass would need to be limited in number so time in line is not much more than 20min or you start losing value in peoples mind.

You could very well be correct. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I think Disney's problem is how to sell Fastpass but not make the fastness line any longer by selling too many. Also they wouldn't want to cannibalize VIP and club 33 for less money. Also they don't want to make...

I like that premier pass with express pass after 4pm. I am most likely buying 4 before our next trip to add a Universal day to every Disney trip.

I have zero inside knowledge, just coming up with a hypothesis. One scenario where it might not be not so bad for the average guest is switching to universal's model. If they monetize 20% of the current fastpass volume and eliminate all others and everyone else is in a fast moving standby line...
