What am I missing here? Unless you're referring to the fact that GOTG is replacing Universe of Energy, and will surely have a lower hourly throughput? What else is Epcot losing?

One would hope the "Super-LL" (whatever we are calling it, where you pay extra) would have some leeway with late arrivals, like the old FP system used to have. For the regular LL (the base $15/day), I imagine it's tough luck. People will quickly start to consider this just another add-on like...

Surprised that WDW held out this long - it seems every other amusement park has a paid option for shorter lines or reservations. Sadly it has become the industry norm. WDW has never been a "cheap" vacation, but nothing shows any signs of slowing down the demand for higher and higher-priced...

The official calendar doesn't seem to indicate a change in park hours, it still lists the typical 9am-9pm hours. Plus, Soarin' was always open until park closing anyway, so it's really just LWTL and the Circle of Life movie that we're talking about. So, is the Land (and Soarin' is what...

I'm surprised they'll be working that close to the monorail beam, you wouldn't think the finished footprint of the buildings is going to be very close to the track.

Where's this filmed from? Having trouble placing the vantage point.

Nemo makes sense... and it'll be totally irrelevant for SSE and Imagination. I can't remember the last time I went on SSE with a wait, you just come back later in the evening. These are attractions that won't be affected negatively at all. In fact, it might make it marginally easier to hit...

I wonder if they'll incorporate some kind of "augmented reality" into the attraction now - kind of like the new hitchhiking ghosts. You design your new car, and then as you pass through the attraction, you go in front of video monitors that overlay your standard-issue TT car with your chosen...

I don't have any problem with the storyline either. Much better than getting some kind of Cars overlay that diminishes the educational feel. TT still has an "original Epcot" kind of vibe in my mind, even if it was a replacement for one of the opening day Epcot attractions. I'd love to see TT...

For the MK and Epcot, I'd be perfectly happy if they just maintained and refreshed the existing attractions. Both of those parks easily take up more than a full day's worth of time. The sort of work they did on Space Mountain and the Haunted Mansion is what I'm talking about. Little...

Interesting that the issue doesn't seem to be a legal one, as it first appeared. It's more of a financial/accounting error, with the legal implication being that they'll have to seek new approvals to charge the higher maintenance fees. Now it makes a lot more sense to fire the top guy, because...

This sounds good to me - it's an upscale brand (compared with, say, McDonalds), it's popular, and could easily be themed to fit in the parks. Plus, you can already get Starbucks at the Shades of Green DoD resort, something I've done on my last two trips down there, so it already sort of feels...

Yes, it's an inconvenience for the big family, they can no longer send one person to order, while the rest of the family sits down and waits, but it really is a maddening experience to have your food and noplace to sit and eat it. This ensures that during the peak crowding times, restaurant...

That plan doesn't look feasible - for starters, you're putting in as much retail space as already exists in the massive Emporium complex on the west side of Main Street. While I know Disney loves to sell merchandise, it still costs money to build retail stores and staff them. You've already got...

Hmm... I can't remember if it's just one or two CMs who run LWTL - I can't see Disney closing LWTL simply to save that small amount of labor cost. I would imagine the greenhouse operations would have still been ongoing. Now, going with the automated spiel and cutting out a CM on every boat...
