    Nothing is happening in the federal case until DeSantis’ motion to dismiss Judge Walker from the case is decided, per Walker’s notice today.

    News Disney CFO Christine McCarthy says Disney will continue to focus on existing intellectual property for new park investments

    I personally don’t care whether a ride/attraction is original IP or existing. If it’s a good ride or attraction that appeals to me I will enjoy it. I’ve never seen either Avatar movie but they did a great job with Pandora and FoP was a lot of fun even though I’ve never seen one minute of the...

    News Disney CFO Christine McCarthy says Disney will continue to focus on existing intellectual property for new park investments

    As somebody who experienced DCA 1.0 during cast member previews, I’ll just say original IP can be a mixed bag. Superstar Limo TO THIS DAY is the worst thing I ever experienced at any Disney park. 😂 OTOH Soarin’ is one of my favorites things. However, the Soarin’ Around the World update is ok but...

    News Another Fight at Magic Kingdom

    How do you get in a fight with somebody before you even get to Main Street? Also, I would have pressed charges.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

    The thing that gets me about the Starcruiser is has anybody involved in the proposal/greenlighting process for that project ever gone to any kind of fandom convention or been actually IN fandom (not even specifically Star Wars) in any way? Attended San Diego Comic Con or DragonCon or Worldcon or...

    I was listening to the earnings call. Bob was not having it. He also debunked a lot of the lies that are being said about WDW not paying their share if taxes and such.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    If the state of Florida did not like the arrangement they had anytime in the last 50+ years to dissolve it. They didn’t. In fact, the last time Florida reviewed doing just that - in 2004 I think? - they came to the conclusion that it was a benefit to both the state and Disney/the local area to...

    Disney’s already building affordable housing. Are they going to have dueling developments? How is this even under the CFTOD purview?

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I haven’t been listening since before Gilzean spoke but I made note of something Garcia said about Gilzean’s various duties. He mentioned that the new leglslation establishing CFTOD required them to provide “reports” to the legislature (i think? or state?). Is that true? He also said that they...

    I looked at Classe’s contract that’s attached to tomorrow’s meeting agenda. He’s going to be paid the same salary he’s making now which they don’t specify. His contract is for 1 year with a 1 year extension option.

    No, I know that’s what they do. But I’m wondering what they’re paying Classe for his “advisor” position which with this group I’m pretty sure us either extortion or a bribe. Also don’t forget DeSantis’ college roommate (or the guy’s firm at least) is one of CFTOD’s lawyers. They’re not being...

    News DeSantis moves to bring state safety oversight of the Walt Disney World Monorail including suspending the service for inspections

    I’d be all for inspections if it was a standard and legitimate reason like they just decided it would be a good idea for periodic state inspections at all theme parks such as WDW. But that’s not why this was done and the ends do not justify the means.

    Dining Plans Return for 2024 / Park Reservations End for Dated Tickets

    I love that tool. Got great views and locations for my rooms at All Star Movies and Pop Century on my last WDW trip in 2021.

    Gilzean will fit right in with the board. DeSantis has appointed him to other positions in the past. I have no idea what Classe’s current pay rate is but my guess is Gilzean is getting a raise.

    Not if he keeps picking fights with businesses and pushing his authortarianism. That may appeal in FL and some other places but it won’t fly everywhere. I guarantee you Dems are not staying home.
