    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I hate to wade back into this discussion, but I feel like I have to correct the record on one point. The highlighted statement above is untethered from reality based on my personal experience as well as the experience of nearly every poster on this board who actually experienced the...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I moved to Houston 20 years ago, and we were apparently the first to have this. Lewis Black chronicled it well: One has since closed, but I frequented both.

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Small sample size and purely anecdotal, but folks who I am helping are choosing to stay off-site about half the time. And these are veterans who always used to stay onsite. The reasons they cite are lack of value, high price, fewer advantages to staying onsite, and the amount they are spending...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I like the moving goalposts. When folks complained about the reskin, some said "it's still the same ride, it's just going to look different." Now when folks point out that it isn't a new ride, but just a reskin, we're told "Tiana's is a new ride." :rolleyes:

    Share your happiest moment at WDW!

    2021 - I "forced" my parents to come with me and my daughter on our Thanksgiving trip. My mom was diagnosed with cancer in 2019 and was still feeling good enough to travel. She was supposed to come on a 2022 trip, but I made them come a year early. I'm glad I did, because by 2022, she wasn't...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane status

    Seems like a couple of possibilities. As people are more familiar, they "get better" at the VQ game, making them "run out" more quickly. Or Disney has reduced the number of VQ spots available to increase ILL sales. Without a standby line, that seems easy to manipulate - if there are 10,000...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    Same here. On multiple rides. It did go down on me for the first time. But I oddly didn't mind, because we got to spend about 5-10 minutes in the stormtrooper room before being led out, so I got to get all of the pictures I've always wanted but never had time for!

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

    No. I made a sarcastic post about releasing old films into theatres. You decided to respond. You didn't have to,, but you did.

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

    No no no no - Soul, Luca and Turning Red are all going to go gangbusters once they are released theatrically over the next three months. Yeah, that's gonna do the trick - releasing movies people have already had access to on streaming for years theatrically.... And I know that's happening...

    News Disney Park Pass System announced for Walt Disney World theme park reservations

    Or how they let me buy ILL's for 7DMT at a time the ride was scheduled to be down for fireworks preparation? (I mean, they said to just come back after the fireworks, which we did, but they should not allow you to buy the ILLs for a timeslot when the ride is scheduled to be down)

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    If you haven't seen it in person....well, it's actually worse. And the washed-out yellow of the barn is certainly a choice.

    Wish (Walt Disney Animation - November 2023)

    That line bothers me Every. Single. Time. that I hear it. And what is worse is that THAT is the line that played at the beginning of virtually every commercial and trailer - so not only did the "entire cadre of executives, animators, directors, artists, interns, janitors" "let that get out,"...

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

    So what metric would you suggest using to evaluate the content side of Disney? This is a real question, because it appears that by any currently-used metric, that side is flailing - box office profitability, Disney+ profitability, loss of revenue from licensing content to Netflix/HBO/etc...
