You will rarely see Disney ever admit they were wrong or made a mistake....it's just not in their corporate culture. Y'know...for the longest time, Disney did not like to even admit that people die in the parks. If paramedics were rushing a body out of Walt Disney World, the company asked them...

Why is Hollywood culture doing this? There is a big trending belief that: Our product is amazing, stunning and brave....and if you don't like what we make, the problem is YOU,...not us. YOU are not smart enough to understand it or you are just a bad person, immoral or negatively biased...

It is 100% clear to me that Disney does not understand what "Star Wars" is! In fact, Disney and Lucasfilm DELIBERETELY hire creatives that are SPECIFICALLY "not" Star Wars fans! If you go for a Disney Lucasfilm creative position and you tell them you are a huge Star Wars fan?...they will...

I would love to see the list of names of Disney and Lucasfilm creates and executives that evaluated this project as it was being designed: Column one = List of people who believed this idea was a great one and thought this hotel was going to be a smash hit using sequel trilogy characters. The...

OK,..two scenarios: 1.) Josh is lying. He KNOWS this entire project was a terrible idea built on a bad business model from day one. Josh knows "Disney" was the problem and that it just was NOT worth it for the price....something a zillion people screamed at Disney before this thing ever opened...

I can only guess that Disney's tactic is to spread the cost through as many years as they can so that it doesnt hurt their annual reports as bad. If Disney has to spent $1, they try to pay it $.20 cents per year. (Or less based on how bad Disney's finances are hurting for any particular year)...

"If" they break ground on these lands in 2025, it's reasonable to expect a 2030 opening. Five years on each land is normal for Disney these days. Unless this Blue Sky stuff is just more public relations smoke and mirrors. (Something we see a lot from Disney today)

On the politics, they would need to keep it politically neutral like Disney does with "Hall of Presidents" or "The American Adventure" or "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln"...etc Disney had this idea back in the 90's for a new Disney park in Virginia and the Blue Sky ideas looked really cool. I...

You are prolly correct. What I would expect is phase one being made and then a "wait and see" approach for phase two. The size and scale (and cost) of phase two is entirely based on the success of phase one??. If it "is" popular? It "should" continue to grow and grow over time based on that...

Not trying to go too far off-topic here. (I tend to do that often;-) "American Heartland" is yet ANOTHER new Disney-style project that appears (in the Blue Sky stage anyway) to again, capture the Disney-quality "Imagineering" that we have all come to love over the generations. And,...it's being...

I have to say that this entire project is incredibly impressive. Every month, it appears better and better and more stunning. THIS is what you get when Imagineers leave Disney and bring their decades "magic", knowledge and experience to a company that wants to take ACTION.....send money....and...

Disney has the green light to "build baby build" now. You won't see any significant resistance from CFTOD. Florida want's more tourists and more taxes. "Disney,...do what you gotta do...go COMPETE with Universal now and bring us the jobs and the $$$"

Well? CFTOD has at least stated that they would "consult" with Disney on whatever new agreements they make. That's sorta, kind of, a little bit OK for Disney. Yes? I'm trying as hard as I can to spin this in Disney's favor as much as I can...but it's REALLY difficult. The settlement was...

Interesting! I have a feeling that many Disney and RCID (current or past) employees are breathing a sigh of relief this week. Especially people's names that are all over Disney and RCID email communications over the years. I could imaging them saying: "It's not my fault, I was only doing what...

Additionally,...I read that all of this does NOT stop the State Investigator General from moving forward. It also has no effect on the "third-party" investor organizations suing Disney over the complaints about the public bonds and more. There are other serious cases that could easily involve...

Does anybody here truly believe that DeSantis and the rest of the Legislature are "anti-WDW"? Did anybody ever believe that DeSantis hates WDW as a large tourist destination, taxpayer and large Florida employer? No,...he always valued the positive "potential" of WDW to the economy of the...

What do you (or anyone) make of DeSantis pointing his finger at "Burbank" specifically on this. He seems to suggest that Disney "Orlando" wasn't a problem for him but "Burbank" specifically was. I thought it was odd that he tried to "separate" Disney "Burbank" from Disney "Orlando". Is it...

I respectfully disagree completely. Disney COULD have built 4 theme parts, a ton of hotels, and a shopping district WITHOUT "RCID" as it was chartered. Any "common" special taxing district that Florida has today would have been fine! CFTOD today would have been fine! Disney deals with STRICT...

I think the reason why RCID collapsed so easily is that the way this darn thing was chartered from the beginning was SEVERELY flawed. RCID was given things and setup in a way that NO other special taxing district has ever been set up before or afterward. RCID was a freak of nature (or a freak...

It's my hope that Florida's Investigator General continues diving deeper into RCID's and Disney's financials, email databases, tax records, and issued bond dealings. It's time that the state get to the bottom of everything under the "sunshine" law and FINALLY prove that Disney never did...
