    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    There's the time-turner (which gives you 5 hours). And then a better version was created that gave them unlimited time. As long as it looks well done and is entertaining our minds will fil in the gaps

    News Space Mountain closing for refurbishment in September 2023

    And based on everything we've heard / seen from that movie, that would be a much better concept.

    Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

    I was trying to make a different statement. Yes, D+ has subscription revenue, plus what they get from advertisers that broadcast on lower tier subscriptions. And that money is then used to pay for their overhead, infrastructure, and content. On the latter, you have content made EXCLUSIVELY for...

    Disney's Live Action The Little Mermaid

    I just want to add my 2 cents to the matter. I think all the explanations and math on the overall and inner workings of the financials were really good but at the end it's sad that TLM will only about break even rather than be a beacon of money for Disney. At the current stage the box office is...

    Sir I don't usualy agree with you but you are spot on with this!

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

    I think people understood from all the reviews that it wasn't a hotel, but a fully immersive Star Wars experience. And that it was a blast. Honestly they could have themed it to anything else: Anything Marvel, other Star Wars lore, Pandora, something brand new, it still would have flopped. I...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (I guess Emilia Clarke and Thandiwe Newton make everything work)

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    I am definitely happy, but I only see that as a starting point in bringing Disney (and more importantly, Disney parks) back to their former glory. Natural next steps in the short term should be: —> getting rid of d’Amaro —> getting rid of McCarthy And in the next 2 years —> replace Iger...

    News Park specific pricing will join date based pricing for single day Disney World park tickets

    "Magic Kingdom Park will be priced at or above our other theme parks due to the incredible demand as it remains the most-visited theme park in the world," Disney said in a statement. Well, if they actually invested $$$ in increasing capacity with E-ticket must-do rides, proper maintenance, CM...

    Disney plans hiring freeze, some jobs cut......

    I assume at $6k per group (just an average) the trips themselves might be profitable. But I agree with you, with the availability as open as it is and the huge investment to build that thing, investors will NOT be happy with it.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    I don't think people WANT it to fail. But if it does is not because of a bad product, it's because of bad pricing. And if it's a resounding success at this price point, it would just further encourage Disney to keep doing it (not that they need it I think they'll do it anyway 🤣). So, maybe...

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    They are a lot of fun, especially if you like puzzles / riddles and go with friends.

    News Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser coming to Walt Disney World 2021

    The problem is not in the product. I haven't been but I only heard great things. The issue is that they are charging $6k for 2 days to enjoy it! (2 people will pay around $5k but it's still massive per capita for 2 days). So even for those who can afford it and enjoy it so much as to be repeat...

    Disney’s Fiscal Full Year and Q4 2022 Earnings Results Webcast

    It's an 8% revenue increase. 1.2 x 0.9 = 1.08 But assuming prices went up 10% and they lost 10% of customers, they would actually lose revenue. That being said, we don't know what the revenue has to be for it to break even, let alone be considered profitable.

    News Disney CEO Bob Chapek reiterates his belief that park reservations are now an essential part of Disney's theme parks business

    This is actually sad. Not only you can’t decide on what park to go on the day of your visit, but they will shut down reservations in one park and prevent it from reaching capacity just to try to force people into another.

    Price Hikes Galore! (Genie+ variable pricing, ILL, refillable mugs, SWGE lightsaber and droids)

    Because not extending 3 years three years would have sent a bad message, and that would drop stock price. Besides, not sure if the extension prevents the board from releasing him before that term. That being said, your question about the outside candidate pool is valid. But a more appropriate...

    Price Hikes Galore! (Genie+ variable pricing, ILL, refillable mugs, SWGE lightsaber and droids)

    I went to USF last year with my (then) 2yo daughter and pregnant wife. My daughter was 35 inches. Yes, I remember that missing inch meant she couldn't do ANYTHING in either parks. Even Dr. Seuss landing's train ride has a 36in requirement! Well, she could ride the merry-go-round, Shrek 4-D...

    Price Hikes Galore! (Genie+ variable pricing, ILL, refillable mugs, SWGE lightsaber and droids)

    I agree. Eisner's tenure, as enriching as it was (not only to Parks & Resorts but the company as a whole), ended in quite the divisive way. I wouldn't credit it as much to the evolution of technology and finances but more so to his subpar relationship with board and executive members, some of...
