I'm uncertain of what you're saying, but making the decision to throw an already designed ride based not on the French Ministry of Magic, but rather the British Ministry of Magic with the likes of the original trio (Harry, Ron, Hermione) in a land from a film franchise (Fantastic Beasts) that...

This is very much what happened. 😐

I agree almost fully with your assessment after having seen it last night as well! My main disagreement (and it's likely just a personal preference): I enjoyed the narrated transitions. The script itself was strong and I applaud whoever touched this show from Disney Live Entertainment. They...

This makes...no sense? Unless they're sitting on unused fireworks from this show? Or they really thought this would help sell tickets to After Hours? I would love to be a fly on the wall of these decision meetings.

I'm one of the few that think EPCOT Forever is a far better creative piece for a theme park nighttime show than Harmonious. EPCOT Forever at least celebrates something. Harmonious, as stated earlier, seemed to lack creative direction in its final form. The original iteration of EF was far more...

I think folks are vastly underestimating the bachelor parties and wedding events that will be booked at this location once it opens. Clearly the ESPN concept had run its course or it wouldn't have been replaced.

The balance between creatively leading throughout the chaos of COVID-19, adhering to budget [and subsequent cuts], AND remaining the positive, smiling face of a [horribly underinvested and overall eventually terrible] project cannot be easy. I'm not saying he wasn't in choice around his...

Having worked retail for a vast majority of my life, fault can definitely be on either consumer or employee. But I will say, as a local who visits often as an AP, I've had little issue with the new process once I learned it. (But I acknowledge that it can be different for everyone, especially...

That's how companies lessen their quality and services over time to make an inferior product and turn profit. I don't blame you for loving WDW. I'm also an AP/DVC member and as a local, I do not need to use ME (but have enjoyed it in years past). But there is something to be said about taking...

Okay, so I understand investing in a massive lighting package to entice guests to stay well into the evening. And I genuinely believe that during its debut weeks this will be such a wonderful aesthetic to experience (with the idea that World Celebration will be a cohesive musical and visual...

I just... If Bob Chapek stepped down from CEO due to a medical leave, I firmly believe tons would be cheering. Not because of his hypothetical health issues, but because he was terrible at the position. I don't understand how people have conflated someone's health and their job.

If Genie+ continues down the a la carte booking method, I can't see it getting too high and staying there (thus the sliding scale price, I'm sure). If it were to work like the Express Pass, allowing access to the priority queue at all attractions minus a select few (for demand/newer...

There's a lot of issues that I have narratively, but the moment someone decided to make a 360-viewing area useless by permanently anchoring a 2-sided non-moving centerpiece, the show was doomed.

Precisely. UC is also experience folks actually leaving at an appropriate time (5pm), instead of plowing through until the late hours of the day like pre-pandemic. So, they have less people working less hours (which, hey, I think folks SHOULD leave at 5pm). It takes months for hiring to happen...

"Disney has announced to nearby residents that there will be an after-hours test of 'Happily Ever After' at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom December 9 2023." I think we just time warped to December 😅 But in all seriousness, excited for this nighttime show to return!

I have to disagree. The few times I've used it (as a local who will utilize the product when guests are in town), we've had surprise time slots appear on the confirmation page. Example being: We tried booking Haunted Mansion for 2:00pm and after officially confirming our selection, we were...

We also don't know if the park experience of EU is going to be worth repeat visitation. It'll be new and sparkly, but year after year visiting? We'll have to stay tuned!

My point was that Disney (or any company that pays based on Cost of Labor) don't care about the cost of living/rent increases. I'm firmly aware what will likely happen. :)

This entirely. People love to rattle on about how CMs are the magic of a Disney vacation and then in the same breath mention it’s unskilled labor. There’s an emotional and mental side of employment people refuse to acknowledge. If CMs were consistently rude or provided nothing beyond scanning...

Unfortunately, no matter what is said, we all know (and with Disney's acknowledgment) that the Parks segment is actually bringing in a consistent profit while other sectors of the business are losing billions. AKA, they're going to absolutely milk the Parks for as much as they can regardless of...
