    Park Attendance goes down, so Prices go up?

    Disney has increasingly pivoted towards a higher-end clientele. This group will happily pay more if the perception is that the experience is better and/or crowds are lower. Of course, we believe this is not a sustainable strategy but Disney likes to remain oblivious until the profits say...

    The railroad has been open a few months now, but the steam train tour hasn't resumed. Does anyone have a guess when this tour will be offered again?

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Version control. Not that hard to rollback the code. Operational whiplash is much harder.

    News New Gondola Transportation - Disney Skyliner -

    The breeze is reliant partially on the wind. If the gondola is traveling at the same speed and in the same direction as the wind you will feel very little airflow. This is the concept of ‘apparent wind’ that is relevant for sailors.

    Magic Kingdom park-wide buyout on Oct 22

    One of my clients was there and he said watching executives stumble around drunk in the MK with no kids in sight was both jarring and interesting.

    Nope, Budget cuts have no impact on actual costs. This system is going to be cheap and easy to maintain. It will age VERY well.

    If OSHA can prevent accidents and thus negative press, I’m sure Disney is very happy to have them involved.
