I'm guessing Photodave has gone into hiding now. There will be no avoiding spoilers (by his definition) from here on out!

Ah, you got me, "dragged" would be the correct usage. I'll blame my mistake on all the holiday craziness this past week. :)

Well, that's it, I'm buying my tickets now. I'm not a huge Star Wars fan--it's just a like-it-in-passing sort of thing for me--but Cumberbatch on the other hand... If true, this will make being drug to the midnight showing by my husband MUCH more enjoyable! ;)

Nah, they're already using that effect at PoTC with the new, enhanced "taking on water like a ship in a hurricane" boats. ;)

Those relatively recent changes in the parks are the result of decisions from P&R management, not the foregone conclusion of having a robust animation division.

The very first time in my life that I felt "old" (and this is relative, as I'm only in my 30s now) was when I made a comment about the days when nothing aired on television overnight. A younger colleague simply stared at me in disbelief, then said, with horror in her voice, "T.V. wasn't always...

Bring on the broccoli contracts! Say "yes" to Big Broccoli!

First time hanging out in a Spirited thread? They're not for the faint of heart...or for those who want strict adherence to something called a "topic." ;)

I'm not sure the English capability of WDW guests really has any effect on the status of interactive queues. I mean, it's pretty standard knowledge worldwide that you shouldn't break other people's stuff. Plus, have you been around any large groups of English-speaking U.S. kids lately? I'd say...

I see what you're saying, but I don't look at it that way. For example, it's the middle of the afternoon, and I'm ready for a snack. I want something healthy, so I stop by one of the market-type stands. I see the exact same boring stuff at every single one--diced melon, carrot and celery sticks...

But, see, that's the problem right there. When Disney (and they aren't the only ones) wants to offer a "healthy" option, they say, "Here, have an apple or some carrot sticks in a bag. Now we can check 'healthy option' off the list." I want to see creative healthy options. I want to see something...

Oooo, exsanguinating. Nice! :) Not super excited about TSPL--it certainly won't draw me to the park. But you lay out some very valid points.

We may be devolving into pedantry here. But you're right--"detrimental" depends on what you're measuring. Clearly current strategies are not detrimental to, say, stock prices. So if stock prices are the metric used for evaluation, we can't apply the term detrimental. Stock prices are certainly...

Fair enough. But the allegation I was responding to from xstech25 was that people are "angry" because they can't afford/don't like the current pricing. It is my observation that the majority of posters here are not angry about that--they are largely informed consumers who are angry at Disney's...

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion that WDW is the number 1 theme park (in the U.S.? in the world?). However, @ParentsOf4 can explain better than anyone else here that posters' reactions to current WDW hotel pricing strategy are in no way based on the company "not pricing things the way...

Kids these days. No respect at all for theming or detail. I bet there wasn't even a Hidden Mickey.

Le sigh... Is there anything else to say here? A faux celebrity restaurant (Disney really has a thing for Iron Chef, eh?); an in-crowd steakhouse that charges $12 for a basic side salad and $8 for a side of broccoli (outside WDW!); and a headphone store. All in an environment retrofitted to look...

Well you are CLEARLY not a Disney princess then. *scoff* Birds and woodland creatures certainly gather 'round when *I* sing in the woods, and I can understand all of them. ;)

Agreed. But it doesn't excuse the officials in Dallas...or those at the federal level. We've known for years--not just since the current outbreak began--that one day Ebola would board a plane bound for our shores. There's no reason this should have come as a surprise. Now, I'm not saying it...

The healthcare workers caring for patients in Atlanta and Omaha also did not contract Ebola. Dallas botched the thing from top to bottom.
