Senior Walt Disney executives led a rebellion against chief executive Bob Chapek in recent weeks. The covert campaign to overthrow Chapek began in the summer. “A lot of people were approaching the board, Iger loyalists who felt marginalised.” Disney executives began approaching the board a few...

Disney+ will be the death of all future Disney movies such as the Little Mermaid Live Action that will be out soon. People are not going to bother going to the theaters and paying when they can watch the movie for free a couple of months after release. Disney needs to stop putting so many eggs...

If the movie doesn't do well in the box office, it can be blamed on Disney+. Why go to the box office and pay $$$$ when you can watch it at home for free in a couple of months?

"The complimentary preview will allow guests to try out the Quest 2 headsets and experience Batuu in 360 degree VR." Why??? Guests are already experiencing Batuu, the real thing, in DHS. Why don't they show somewhere else, like anywhere Star Wars?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing will stop me from going to WDW. However, I used to go 3 weeks per year. Now I'm cutting down to 3 days per year. So, my total donation towards the Disney cause has decreased.

I just got to thinking, every 2 days they have a down time between 10am to 1pm where guests checkin/checkout, when they clean and stuff. Why don't they charge say, $300 for a family of 4 to be there during that time? They can look around, eat some snacks, play some games. They will also be...

I highly recommend the DFB video about the Starcruiser if you haven't seen it already. It's the best on Youtube and perfectly done. Whether you like the Starcruiser or not, the video is cool to watch. My feelings about the Starcruiser hasn't changed since the beginning: I wouldn't mind being in...

I just noticed that the atrium is missing the original atrium that I liked from the concept art: Look at how many giant windows there are all around, looking out into space. I thought they would play videos in the windows so that the stars fly past, looking like the space ship is going...

I just watched a 3 hour youtube video of the Starcruiser, and here is my favorite scene. Look at how beautiful it is! It doesn't really look Star Wars, more of a Ten Forward feel to it, and I love Star Trek TNG. I wouldn't mind staying in a hotel like that for $1000 a night, or $1500 to...

Game: What's missing in the screen shot of the room from the new video compared to earlier photos? New: Old: (Answer below) Notice the control panels in the bunk bed wall in the old photo? They are missing in the new one. So, that got cut after already being put in. Also, the dark grey...

Some screen shots from the latest promo. Notice that nobody appears to be wearing SW gear even though this is supposed to be LARPing experience.

This is going to be so expensive that it will make a Disney stay at a deluxe hotel sound like pocket change. However, for the sake of argument, let's say it's priced such that the middle class can afford it to retire there. So which is better, to retire in Florida near a beach somewhere, and be...

Why isn't this done close to Disney World or Disneyland? Building something like this in the middle of the desert is a waste. Disney, please remember what realtors say about "location, location, location."

Disney has never messed up on a hotel or a cruise ship before; it is not unreasonable to think that anything Disney comes up with is worth at least one try. As a result, there are enough people who are willing to go into the Starcruiser sight unseen and take the chance that for years afterwards...

It depends on how tightly they pack the boxes with guests. The trip is only 1/2 mile, so 2 minute ride time driving slow. I remember reading somewhere that says a bus loads 60 people at capacity. So if the boxes can pack 30 tightly, that's 10 trips. If they have a truck every 10 minutes (one...

It's not a matter of recognizing a box truck. People might look at any box truck on the highway and automatically assume that it's the famed luxury transport. But most importantly, if the trucks are themed on the outside, it can work as a powerful advertising influence for the Starcruiser...

A glimpse of the box truck's interior theming: Here's the original concept art:

The vehicle matters, though, even if you won't see it. Imagine the truck is themed outside to look like a space shuttle. As you sit inside going along towards DHS, you know that every person that sees you will be straining their eyes to look again, their hearts filled with envy, making you feel...

The job market is partly to blame due to virus. I remember reading about this one person who wanted to work for Disney's phone line. She lived nearby, was experienced in the field, but she couldn't get vaccinated because of her health condition. Being that they worked from home nowadays anyway...

Yes, it was the main number: 407 939 5277. My phone records says that I called at 11:06 a.m., and at 11:33 a.m., Disney called me back from 407 934 7639. I was making a room request for my reservation at POR. That was the first time I ever received a call back offer that I can remember.
