This thread should not be political, and neither will I, but that’s also a large part of Chapek’s downfall. He wasn’t able to navigate any high profile issue as well as Iger had. Disney was no longer politically neutral as it aspired to be for decades. Iger was much more subtle about...

My completely uneducated guess is that this will close in the next 6-9 months and then take around 2 years to complete. Spring 2025 opening.

The fact that there isn’t “synergistic” marketing this morning (press release, teaser video, insta and tik tok posts) makes it seem likely that this wasn’t a planned statement. Disney probably scrambling now to figure out the best way to follow this up.

That moment in Poseidon's Fury really wowed me! This may not be innovative, but it sounds like fun. I think using the pre-show to wow you right before going on a ride vehicle helps make it an overall better experience (Haunted Mansion, MMRR, etc.)

I’m trying to see how this hurts Disney - outside of lack of special treatment and financing capabilities. Perhaps once the neighboring counties took control they could raise taxes specifically on Disney to cover costs and keep homeowners costs down? There’s no way lawmakers allow taxes to be...

Was staying at Grand Floridian during the test night and didn’t even hear it from my room. (I’m a light sleeper and could hear the boat horns)

I have no construction background, but I did work for an Apple store many, many years ago that used similar metal panels on the exterior. They were imported from Japan, and even though they had used similar ones at other stores around the world, something unexpected happened a few weeks prior to...

More news coverage on lack of trams from earlier this week in an NPR article on "skimpflation": NPR Skimpflation Article "All is not so happy at the happiest place on Earth. The guests of the Magic Kingdom are restless. Despite reopening more than six months ago, Disney World and Disneyland...

Also there is a moment midway through the finale that actually mimics the mockup (with everything gold.) DIdn't notice that last night. ResortTV also mentioned the surround sound being diff on Main Street.

This show looks a LOT cooler on Main Street (with these streams actually showing the projections better.)

I just tried to use it to compliment a cast member - and found it not adequate for my needs. It doesn't let you put in a cast member's name, or the date, or well really anything outside of the department. They've also hidden it under a subsection of the app in a not very easy to find place.

Yea - I think the biggest letdown I had while watching this was the lack of an epic Tink entrance. It needed more of a build-up or oomph right before she comes out. Rushed timing. It was like she was a celebrity forced to be seen at a party "yes yes im here! HI WAVE WAVE BYE!" Outside of that...

When we went from Wishes to HEA it was such a big difference that it caught people offguard. But this show is so similar to HEA, yet different, that it is like watching your favorite broadway show with a new cast for the first time. You're so used to the original voices that your brain is almost...

I just want to say....it is all of YOU in this thread that make the magic! The wdwmagic roasting magic!

Fix the audiooooooo

The questions are not great - but that is one of the "realist" Disney interviews I've seen in awhile. Yes he sprinkles in some of the typical marketing/PR pixie dust, but for the most part he talks like a normal person and gives some interesting nuggets. I thought it was interesting that he...

The more I listen to the original song, the more excited I am about this new show. I've already found myself humming it during the day at random points. HEA gave them a successful blueprint to work within, and because of that, I think it will be a lot harder for them to mess this show up. The...

Yea - the issues I have with this show at first glance are NOT budget related. They are creative decisions. It's sort of like a new era Star Wars Movie. You can tell a lot of talented people are involved and there was a lot of money spent but someone else should have been writing the script...

Youtube Roasts are entertaining: "There was a really good fireworks show tonight at Walt Disney World that used songs from Hercules, Hunchback, and Princess and the Frog. There was also Harmonious." "I now understand why they got rid of Happily Ever After. The songs from that show just went to...

Someone wrote this comment on the official YouTube stream and it really resonates with me. Missing those "chills" moments and emotional connection: "Honest Opinion: The tech was on point! Vocals from the artists were on point! The overall story was lacking. Let's break it down - Disney Parks...
