    Universal's food is still pretty bad

    Because no Michelin restaurant puts out the volume of food that Universal or Disney do. I wouldn't be surprised if on a daily basis more people ate something at Universal Orlando than do in every Michelin-starred restaurant worldwide.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Saw this today on my car’s chargepoint app. IONNA is partly owned by GM. Looks like they may be adding some EV charging at Test Track. Maybe a demo?

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    That's one thing I love about traveling to Latin America: Almost no Americans to ruin my vibes.

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    This wouldn't be the first time I've price compared a trip abroad to a time at WDW, and almost always abroad is cheaper for me. And Europe is on the more expensive end of that equation. Latin America is a far better deal, and is my preference. I did a long Thursday-Tuesday luxury weekend in...

    WSJ: Even Disney Is Worried About The High Cost Of A Disney Vacation (gift link)

    That's possibly going to be us this year. Rather than a weeklong on-property-only staycation this summer, we're aiming for two weeks in Europe for almost the same money (airfare is paid for with points, so travel expenses are a wash). Paris + Brussels + Cologne.

    I'll translate. Danger to manifold. Peak nonsense. In cars, a manifold is either an intake manifold (feeds air to the engine) or an exhaust manifold (routes exhaust gases out). Both sit toward the top of the engine bay. If one fails, worst case? You lose efficiency, maybe develop a...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    They're still viewed as somewhat kitschy, but they're extremely popular. Although DANGER TO MANIFOLD is stlil laughed at. As are "overnight parts from Japan", and the the idea of finding an R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R randomly at a used car lot in the US back when it was an illegal import.

    Yep. DANGER TO MANIFOLD was a meme back then. But it ended up attracting a new generation of people into car geekery, and turned some cars - like Mk4 Supras - into absolute collectibles. So now it's mostly accepted/ignored by the car community.

    Car people generally hated the first two when they came out.

    WDW Bus Driver Job Questions

    Outside of some high level finance and cash handling positions, I don't think Disney cares about your credit score.

    I get that, but i also think the theme lends itself to be adapted into a fantasyland style land if needed.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    I’ve heard from several current UC folks - more than one who also worked on Toy Story Land (there's plenty of cross-pollination between WDI and UC) - that HTTYD is absolutely on par with something you’d expect to see in Fantasyland at MK. There’s a lot of crossover between WDI and UC, and...

    It's literally not. It's closer in theming to something out of MK.
