    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    Here are my thoughts on YT/IG influencers: 1) It is much, much, much cheaper to buy and sell the disposable and ethically untethered influencers than mounting a four-quadrant mass marketing plan. 2) YT/IG is increasingly the platform of choice for many, many people. It only makes sense to lean...

    News Disney Vacation Club announces plans for more than 350 new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort

    Imagine if you instead put that $23K in an investment vehicle and use what you would otherwise pay in maintenance fees (and then a bit more) to just rent someone else’s DVC for when it best suited you.

    Marvel's Fantastic Four

    Coming off the wild success of this film Disney should release a theatrical hand-drawn animation remake of FF:FS in November 2029.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    Seems like they need to refurbish this building!

    MK Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    I think the Disney Dish podcast mentioned the footprint of PP matches almost exactly the space/buildout for the Avengers attraction.

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    So is Figment 4.0 part 2’s budget going to get slashed for the ongoing maintenance/improvements to TBA?

    EPCOT Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    They have more than made up for that period of lost revenue between price increases, new revenue streams, and lowered operational costs.

    Disney Edits Comedian’s Disney Jokes before his special airs on Hulu

    I don’t know that either Disney/Hulu or the comedian come off looking great from this. It’s also unclear from the comedian how these jokes were watered down/edited. Did he do ADR? Did they use some form of AI to soften the blow? In my day Disney used to host an entire improv comedy club where...

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

    I don’t know what’s more impressive - that Spielberg was 27 when he finished filming Jaws, or that fifty years later he still is capable of directing astonishing films.

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure Effects Status Watch

    One of the refrains some in the pro-TBA contingent would voice was that this was a good idea because all those old hydraulic AAs were a pain to maintain and keep working properly. So they removed all of them and replaced them with a comparative handful number of AAs which also are a pain to...

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    @lentesta just mentioned on his podcast surveys querying what sort of resort amenities are worth keeping (including early entry and free resort transportation to the parks). It’s clear they’re not movitated to exceed or surpass guest enjoyment or satisfaction with these surveys, but rather...

    News Disney World Earmarks 80 Acres for Affordable Housing

    This is the same company that overwhelms the already stretched thin amenities at places like the Polynesian or Fort Wilderness. Why would they care about how this affects existing residents?

    Universal eats Disney's lunch at GTA

    We’ve already seen an in-game video rendering of GTA6. For Tropical Americas, Encanto hasn’t even gone vertical and Dinosaur doesn’t close until February. Heck, we might get GTA6 Online before TA.

    Len Testa - “Disney positions itself as the all-American vacation. The irony is that most Americans can’t afford it.”

    They’re the single biggest vacation destination in the continental U.S. They have an outsized presence in the travel and tourism industry. It is not singling out, nor unfair, to report facts. If those reported facts come off as a negative to Disney, well then, there is an easy way for them to...

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    I’ve had trouble putting my finger on this but this feels decidedly less like the Hotel del Coronado and more evocative of the Overlook Hotel. Big Kubrick vibes here.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    Hey Disney - Cracker Barrel is even course-correcting mid-construction. There’s still time to do the right thing and rid this project of the putrid stench of Gensler-ism!

    Marvel's Fantastic Four

    Why are we taking about films that earned a billion dollars at the box office in the Fantastic Four thread?

    MK Stitch's Great Escape Replacement— Don’t Hold Your Breath

    I can’t speak to everyone else’s experiences, obviously. But I think Boomer parents were just “built different” than those today. As I look back at movies my parents (who are wonderful) took me to, the only guiding principle I can infer from those choices are “we wanted to see this movie and...

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    These floor tiles are so garish and out of place I wonder if Zach Riddley came back from Abu Dhabi and did it for the love of the game.
