I also live within a short drive of Giants Stadium. I now skip the games and spend three hours banging my head against the wall. Same result as watching the Giants play but much cheaper.

Winners would have to count the $5,500 as taxable income.

Looks like median household income in 2024 was slightly higher than that at $83,730, but your point still holds that it's tough to afford a $4K-$5K vacation on that income, unless it's a once in four or five years thing. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA646N

I saw that you had Raglan Road at 100% in the latest edition. It's good but I'm surprised that 100% of respondents like it. I didn't think there was anything 100% of people like.

Does the Touring Plan site have a photo of the view from every room? I ask this despite being subscribed for years.

Interesting that the AKL discount this time is for Savanna-view rooms. Seems like a good deal, so I booked it.

Exactly right.

The "artist's renderings" in that article look AI generated. Does AI count as an artist?

I remember once reading Stephen Jay Gould writing that up to some point you couldn't get tenure in a geology department if you believed continental drift theory was correct and then a few years later you coudn't get tenure if you didn't believe it was correct.

You could argue that they need a nice place to have lunch on the Boardwalk ... but I'm not sure what the demand will be even if the prices were more reasonable. I ate lunch at the ESPN Club either two or three years ago at the Christmas season (long story as to how I ended up there) and the wait...

I just recently reupped for Touring Plans and I did notice this fine print: "Full refund given if Len's posts on WDWMagic are ever criticized."

The survival of the Speedway continues to amaze me. Seems like an awful lot of space devoted to a very weak ride. I guess maybe it has its fans among families with pre-teens.

That's too bad. But thanks for trying.

OT but did you ever hear back from the WSJ about the column they ran by the guy who claimed a CM asked him to tip the CM playing Mickey at the Four Seasons character breakfast? I knew when I read that article that the guy was describing something that was very, very unlikely to have happened...

Heat and humidity? We finally stopped going during summer five or six years ago because of that.

Still love the ambience, though! :)

Interesting idea although it doesn't square with the rumors for what's being planned for beyond Big Thunder.

Good point, although I'll venture the guess that the fall off in bookings despite what appear to have been very strong internal and external reviews might have led them to conclude that good word of mouth wouldn't be enough to save them.

My reaction, as well. Looks like a classic case of a flawed design that is recognized as a flawed design but that gets too far down the line for pulling the plug or engaging in a redo to be politically possible.

It's pretty much throughout her video. Near the end (maybe 20 mins from the end?) she talks for a few minutes about what she sees as the lack of integrity of people who get comped and never give a review that isn't entirely laudatory. Her points seemed well taken to me, but then hers was the...
