    Politics 28000 Layoffs coming to Disney's domestic theme parks - statement from Josh D'Amaro

    Fighting for a living-sustainable wage, a job with benefits, and an employer that sees you as more than just a number should not be a partisan issue. There’s something obviously very wrong with the US’ idea of capitalism and it amazes me when people demonize hourly wage workers, while excusing...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The real sin here is the Governor’s continued persistence at downplaying the severity of the virus. There are still over 100-200 people dying each day in the state, and the state government has not done anything of substance to show that they want to prevent even 1 COVID related death. There...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Just based off pure anecdotal evidence that I’ve seen this past month in my area of the state is that many Floridians are moving and living about as if the virus doesn’t exist. Outside of the masks that you’ll see in stores like Target & Walmart, reduced operating business hours, and very few...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    The MAJOR issue that FL has faced over the past month when the numbers first started to rise is that there hasn’t been any action taken to mitigate and handle this virus so that this ‘spike’ will die down. There’s absolutely no reason why it should even start to diminish in any way. Since June...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    It’s a false-hood and a fallacy to think that re-opening schools in FL will be done ‘as safely as possible.’ Clearly, the past 2-3 weeks has proven that FL has absolutely no clue on how to re-open anything safely...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Disney’s and any other company that ‘decided’ to close ‘out of an abundance of caution’ back in March hypocrisy is on full display. All of the credible DRs and Scientists have continued to say that this virus is just as contagious as it was back in March... but Universal, Sea World, and...

    News Walt Disney World's COVID-19 reopening plans announced - July 11

    I expected to hear Disney address the concern of the growing virus numbers by now - instead all I’ve heard so far is more plans from Disney in how the re-opening is going to work - on time and on schedule - with no official caveats that I’m aware that Disney can still pull back at any time. Is...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    I don’t really see Disney pulling back on the re-opening plans now, but is it really responsible to plow full steam ahead with the cases of the virus continue to rise in Florida the way it has over the past 7+ days? Universal, Sea World, and LEGO Land should have definitely given more than...

    Coronavirus and Walt Disney World general discussion

    Now to everybody that’s considering Disney re-opening to reduced capacity - has anybody run the numbers to confirm that re-opening at a reduced capacity would still be profitable? So much of a business is how you can squeeze every last cent out of an investment - will operating attractions and...

    News Target coming to Walt Disney World and Disney Store shop-in-shop coming to Target stores

    I like Target. I don’t think a Target store coming to Walt Disney World is a bad idea for matter of convenience. Any word on exactly where this Target store will be located?

    Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2019

    It’s a big pet peeve of mine when people single out Christmas as if it’s the only holiday that gets exploited months early... In reality, Christmas stuff is out the same amount of time as any other holiday, or if anything, a bit less. Valentine’s Day stuff will show up in stores before...

    Next Gen Busses

    I’m surprised at the negative blowback this site is giving towards these bus redesigns. My first impression was that I LOVED them! They’re so much better than the generic, plain, & boring grey redesign that was introduced a few years back (and I believe thankfully never fully rolled out)...

    News Bongo's at Disney Springs closing later this year

    I was just about to post that my wife and I had a horrible server the last time we dined there where we were also ignored for an extended period of time... that was back in 2012. Unfortunately it appears that’s just how the restaurant operates and it’s shocking to think they lasted this long...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It’s hard to believe now, but back in the late 90’s-mid 00’s Disney-MGM Studios (as it was called at the time) was ranked as the highest Walt Disney World park in a few places (online sites and magazine articles). I’m guessing it must have had something to do with the combination of Tower of...

    News Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2018

    Of course Florida is not going to have the ‘difference in seasons’ in the part of the country such as Maine or Massachusetts... Though Florida (especially northern and central Florida) most certainly does have a noticeable change in season between August and October. Not only is there the time...

    Holidays at Walt Disney World 2017

    The drone show at Disney Springs last year was a real highlight and standout out of all of the Christmas offerings on property. Truly mesmerizing and enchanting, one-of-a-kind sort of experience that I've never seen before. Especially after years of visiting all the Orlando parks; getting to...

    Volcano Bay

    To be fair it is Universal who has been attempting to market the 'little water park' as a valid full-fledged 3rd theme park to the complex. There's a video of an employee (not sure which level employee) comparing the park's opening to that of IOA back in 1999. So Universal's marketing...

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    Thank you!, To clarify a bit of my question, is Flight of Passage similar to how Soarin' loads riders in one area, then lifts the ride vehicles during the ride for the ride experience? The Soarin' ride vehicles still are more or less stationary, but literal physical movement of the vehicles...

    AVATAR land - the specifics

    Not sure if this has been mentioned or asked previously? Do the ride vehicles/chairs in Flight of Passage actually move (in physical space) before/throughout the ride? Or are they stationary in a fixed position with all of the 'movement' being simulated?
