    Rumor Does WDW have a retail inventory problem in the parks ?

    We were there last week and it looked normal to us as and 100% agree, they need to bring back the pick it up at your resort service. We buy less now that we have to haul it around with us.

    News Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

    I doubt you will get much more than a brief introduction from Kermit and a few small cameos of other Muppets. The main interactions will be with the Electric Mayhem.

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    I enjoy most Broadway productions I see and really like musicals (movie and stage) but, for whatever reason, Wicked just felt flat to me.

    Rumor Are the Simpsons moving from USF to DHS?

    Not to be that guy but Star Wars is in the distant past, not the future.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I think a lot of people are one and done but many will come back and of those that do, there is a wide range of opinions on what people want to do and visiting styles. Their current setup accommodates most of those styles. Want to not deal with any of it, then don't and just use standby. Want...

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    For those that saw Wicked, as someone who found the play one of the most boring theater going experiences I have ever had (and I typically love plays and musicals) does the movie separate itself in anyway or is it just the play in movie format?

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    What an obnoxious take. You can literally say that about anything. ETA: I can’t say I would pay that for cake either but all of us likely have things many others think we over pay for.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Sure, but he reported to the board, not directly to Eisner. Also, it has been awhile since I read Disney Wars, but I seem to remember Wells essentially volunteered to be "number two" as he agreed with Eisner that it made sense to have just the one public face even if they were closer to equals...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    This. I know it is a bit reductive but, a creative entertainment company needs both. Too much on one side and you risk overextending or going under, too much on the other and you focus all on the bottom line and don't do enough. The problem is that a single person who is well balanced between...

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    I don't care if they are an outsider, but I am sure everyone would agree that whoever takes over needs to be better than the person they are replacing. In the case of Wilson, given his record at EA, a lot of people think it will get worse.

    News The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors Extends Robert A. Iger’s Contract as CEO Through 2026

    Well, that is one way to ensure people look back fondly on the Iger years.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Looks like it could be interesting if they would just stick it somewhere else.

    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    No official word, but that doesn't mean plans aren't being worked on. They already said they wanted to get out of politics and like it or not, intended or not, this is a political attraction right in the middle of a fantasy park that the vast majority of people don't want to go on. Even without...

    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    42 onward have all had angry audience reactions with it getting worse with each new office holder. I stopped going after the last time we went when one family had to be escorted out (to be fair it was mostly just the Dad with mom and kids looking horrified). Just to be clear, I think the...

    Important distinction there. At some point it is actually hard to lose money.

    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    The overwhelming majority of MK visitors each day don’t go in there at all. Some because they don’t want to think about politics on vacation. Some because they are sick of the behavior of other guests. Most of them though skip it because it is a boring and low rated attraction that few people...

    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    They already learn that in school. It is called history. Also, a theme park attraction in the middle of a park largely dominated by fairy tales isn't some monumental moment that shapes many lives. Sure, it will grab a few people, but many are projecting their own feelings onto something that...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I know you said you wanted honest feedback about your plan so apologizes up front, but this is exactly why I was so down on the switch to LLMP from G+. Our window just opened up yesterday and I looked at everything, planned one day, thought about having to slog through 9 more and just said...

    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    I may just be reading it wrong but I am not sure I follow what you are saying on this part. I think a lot of people would be okay with this but I doubt Disney wants to keep dealing with the headache in an increasingly less tolerant culture. I honestly hope it breaks that trend soon but I don't...
