Anything they consider doing that involves reducing the water storage capacity of RoA will require some sort of an offset to the water storage capacity somewhere else within the water system which includes Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake. That is a requirement of the South Florida Water...

What exactly makes FoF a disgrace?

2023 data is going to be the first real set of data on patterns. Disney took a much more conservative approach coming out of the pandemic than Universal which resulted in very skewed numbers in those years. 2023 should represent the back-to-normal pattern for the future.

This table might help with the last 10 years worth of attendance data for all Disney and Univeral parks in Orlando.

I too have stood in 3+ hour standby lines for new attractions like the first summer of Splash at DL or Space Mountain at MK on Easter weekend before FastPass. However, today's guests will whine relentlessly about the length of the lines, social media will have a meltdown with videos walking the...

You don’t have to pay for the physical device, you are just borrowing it and paying your tolls. https://visitortollpass.com/

No matter what method they utilize on these high demand attractions, some number of people who want to experience it will not be able to since demand is so far in excess of capacity. No change in the method of accessing one of those slots is going to change that. The rules are exactly the same...

Purely speculation on my part, but they’ve likely seen data that a very small percentage of their guests use Android/Samsung watches so it’s not worth the investment yet. It would also likely require 2 development efforts (one for Samsung and one for Google). You certainly don’t see anywhere...

And in the era of the Internet, every single 'small' item gets spread around as something you can get 'free' and then it gets abused. The number of things that have gone away at WDW over the years because of this pattern can't be counted any longer. It's a balancing act every restaurant...

Please show me where this says ‘all you can eat’. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/caribbean-beach-resort/sebastians-bistro/ Whispering Canyon has an all you can eat option and the website specifically says it...

For every guest who doesn’t want to feel ‘rushed’ and takes their time, there is a guest who is waiting longer to get seated for their ADR. The financial model of every restaurant, no matter where it is assumes an average time to ‘turn the table’, and if they take reservations the number of...

It was impacting 10’s of thousands of customers across the entire nation, not just WDW. And it seems to be coming back on line in central Florida now.

The thread title is a little bit misleading in that the outage is nationwide, impacting all AT&T customers no matter where they are. The title leads one to believe the outage is only affecting Disney World which is clearly only a small part of the story. Something like 'Nationwide AT&T outage is...

I believe technically, Disney’s rule is that the tripod must collapse to a size that could fit into a backpack, not that it must be in the backpack. I have brought my tripod attached to the outside of my camera backpack into the parks hundreds of times with no issue. As long as you are conscious...

Some people have no concept of how colossally expensive it is to build something of this scale in today’s world. At some point, you have to put a cap on the ideas, make sure you have a good balance, set a budget, and get the thing built and opened. You can then learn from guest and operations...

If movement of that cart to a new location requires electrical work, expect the need for permits and inspections before that can take place. Any new structure, whether attraction or backstage facility requires multitude of reviews and approvals and countless (unless you work construction you...

While Universal may have a target, they will not know the date until they see that construction is on track to complete and they feel confident the attractions will be fully ready for operation. They’ve got some pretty bad battle scars from announcing opening dates too early and the attraction...

Just because you haven’t heard of issues, doesn’t mean there haven’t been any. Also, for clarity unlike the original Universal Parks which are under the jurisdiction of the City of Orlando, Epic Universe is under the jurisdiction of Orange County. Trust me- they have had to manage that...

I’ve heard many of the same reports of ‘obstructionist’ efforts around permits and construction inspections on even the most ordinary of efforts on the property.
