How do you feel about the phrase, "Doom buggy spooner"?

Since it's 1986, I'm going to EPCOT Center and ride Horizons and World of Motion. And I'm going to see Captain EO! Wait, scratch that last one.

ERA’s best-guess-timation suggested a 27,000 acre site at the intersection of U.S. 192 and I-4 as the best place to construct the Florida Project (considering the climate, projected growth of highways and projected growth of population). Walt Disney agreed with their opinion and based his...

The ERA is the company founded by Buzz Price and has been doing this work since 1984 when Disney stopped announcing Their numbers. They have a lot of respect in the industry. Disney stated last year that they would not sepperate out financial figures for WDW and DLR. They haven't announced...

I respectfully disagree. The coaster at USF was a relatively low investment and probably avoided some cannibalization from IOA's WWOHP. When you have a multi-park operation and you open something big at one park, it is important to open something marketable at all of your parks to avoid having...

Well, there is already a McDonald's on property. They should just fill PI with cheap dinner shows, T-shirt shops, and $8 dollar buffets. Then the whole reason for buying all that extra land will be moot.

Wikipedia has the numbers from 2009, but not the downloadable report... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amusement_park_attendance_figures

She would have the right to the image of herself, but not to the character. Same is true of Julie Andrews/Mary Poppins, Johnny Depp/Jack Sparrow. The question is...do you want to create an AA of the character or have a live performer play the role, or show video footage of the character...

Great, just great...now the Swan Boats are never coming back.

Last year they put the 2009 report out on April 16. I don't think 2010 is out yet. It is called the "TEA/ERA Theme Park Attendance Report." Google it on tax day.

I'm glad there is no ElecTRONica at WDW. It's basically a rave. I don't feel comfortable taking my kids there. The clientele that I witnessed there--and the seriously vulgar language I heard at 7:30 pm in a Disney theme park was unreal. I won't repeat it here. It's one thing to witness that...

Are you saying that Disney is the evil empire?

If the Disney of today were run with the spirit of Walt's era or with the dedication to quality exhibited in the 1980s/early 90s, then I would agree that Disney could make a better Harry Potter attraction, but nothing Disney has done recently inspires that kind of confidence. Disney has never...

This looks bad, but not nearly has bad as the Haunted Mansion show building in 1971 (trees grow), and not nearly as bad as using show buildings as theming and calling them sound stages (Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris today).

Do not jump to conclusions. Just because a test is ended, it does not indicate that the test was not successful.

Well observed, Legalos. The managers of today's Epcot (both Operations and Imagineering) have no interest in accomplishing EPCOT Center's original mission. Unfortunately, this has been the case for over a dozen years. Anyone within the company who has suggested that Epcot should inspire or...

It seems to me the purchase of Pixar has enabled the rest of the Walt Disney Company to be nothing like Pixar. Pixar takes creative risks. They create original content not based on well-known properties. They are the only people in the company allowed to take risks (because they have an...

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The dance clubs needed to be closed, but there was a time when Disney did not close attractions without planning something new. Closed, empty buildings have become too commen at WDW. It's starting to look like Detroit. Blatently lying to the...

All true. But consider that the Walt Disney Company closed businesses that they opperated in order to save operating costs and collect rent from 3rd parties. They decided to give up control over quality for a steady flow of cash. This is not the way disney operated for most of its history...

I agree the dance clubs needed to be closed, but there was a time when Disney did not close attractions without planning something new. Closed, empty buildings have become too commen at WDW. It's starting to look like Detroit. Blatently lying to the public, claiming there was some kind of...
