I mean, people get undercut all the time, no matter how amazing they are. Bill Belicheck was an amazing coach and people went out of their way to bury him near the end of his Patriots tenure. You can say the same for so many people. In Ovitz's case, all of the top execs immediately started...

The Ovitz hire failed less because of Ovitz's qualifications and more because he was undercut by everyone as soon as he officially joined, from Eisner to the rest of the top brass. Disney War had a pretty good synopsis of that period of time and how bad it got for Ovitz.

Ok so we bought our plane tickets today and ended up extending our trip a few more days because it made sense cost-wise (literally saving $1500 on what we were originally planning, and we get a small day trip in Honolulu on the way back which we love). Trip is December 21 (arrive around 11:30...

That cost discrepancy reads a few ways. Tariffs are now a factor in July in a way they weren't in December, along with increased labor costs (aka, much easier to hire cheap labor prior to the Trump admin crackdowns). They probably also counted on getting federal subsidies in the initial...

Yeah, it's in that rendering. Personally I think it's hilarious that the city continues to try and get a throughway on the Toy Story lot. They really want to make Gene Autry Way a thing in the worst way.

I find Haunted Hayride to be pretty enjoyable for what it is, but it's definitely a tier below the big ones. I know 17th Door has its fans, but personally I can't do those kinds of waiver haunts.

I am going to be mildly amused if the Terrifier maze gets toned down a ton because they forgot to factor in proper drainage for the maze.

Attendance is down all over the place thanks to a variety of factors (economic issues, ICE fears, etc.). We're trying to plan our Greek Festival in October, and we've had to adjust our attendance projections way down because of the trends we've seen in the area.

So our general plan is some combination of: Disney for three days near the start (to avoid New Years) Tokyo for 3-4 days (I want to do Shibuya and sightseeing) Osaka/Kyoto for 3-4 days Maybe Nara/Mt. Fuji A lot of what I'm wondering about is things like eSIMs, recommendations on places to...

Hey everyone! Girlfriend and I are starting to plan a trip to Japan for Christmas. We're complete novices to the country, and while we plan on doing Disney (three days, ideally Dec. 22-24), even that we're unsure of what to do. I figure this is as good a thread as any to ask for help or advice...

Gen Z ain't playing story-based stuff. They're playing Fortnite and FIFA and CoD, games that have no story (lol if you think people are touching story mode in a CoD game) but allow them to jump in and start playing whenever they have free time. Most of the most popular games either release a new...

Is this for a regular day at the parks? Cause that's a weird policy regardless.

The two new mazes this year are Mary: The Haunting of Worth Home and The Zoo. Mary seems to be a retelling of the Bloody Mary urban legend set in a modern home, which if it follows in the footsteps of Eight Fingers Nine should be a good time, though it is being led by the creative team behind...

Mesmer makes sense as having its final year, it’s one of the oldest concepts and doesn’t have the history that Origins does, plus they love to do fun stuff in that area so they likely have another great idea ready to go. Grimoire being done is just sad. It was a bold idea, especially from a...

Abe Lincoln bucket where you take the popcorn out of the back of his head feels more appropriate imo.

Hey everyone! I just went to Magic Mountain Thursday for the first time in 10 years and had some thoughts. Overall I actually had a great time at the park outside of two specific instances. It was a scorcher of a day (100 degrees at the height) which kept crowds low, but the park in general...

Back when the project was just a rumor and not officially announced, there were permits for Disney building a turntable on the stage that would allow for two sets to be up there. I have to imagine that is the solution.

They would likely just rebuild the coaster and mountain so that they are two separate systems rather than the combined one they are now. This might require a little more space, but they'd likely just take up some more area to the north and east (though I also assume any eventual rebuild would...

I always assumed that Coco would be the one getting a drop because the Shanghai Pirates system doesn’t really have a true drop (and I imagine it is not designed for a real one).

Pretty sure they've stated that the Animation Academy and Disney Jr are staying, which are part of the Hollywood Backlot area. That would still leave everything to the north of the street, and would fit into the definition of "part". Anyway, I'm assuming the initial concept art that lined up...
