TDO = Team Disney Orlando TDA = Team Disney Anaheim

I think its limited time-frame is a large part of what makes it special, and also allows Disney to reconfigure and theme the event differently every year. Plus, as the cliche goes: absence makes the heart grow fonder. Although, I certainly wouldn't mind if they had a craft-beer and food festival...

It was nasty out yesterday, but it's beautiful in Miami today, if that means anything. There's supposed to be another pretty wicked cold front (for our standards at least) coming through here on Sunday, so it will likely rain. However, the weather here can be funny, so cross your fingers and...

Bob Loblaw here! Did somebody say negligence? Negligence! Are those EMTs keeping you there against your will? False imprisonment I say! What, the fall caused you and your husband to lose intimacy? Loss of consortium! OMG, your kids saw the accident? Negligent infliction of emotional distress...

Similar to their decision to release Tangled the week after the Harry Potter opening. Hopefully the holiday weekend will pull enough people into the theaters to split the box-office between them.

I think that's probably market and delivery channel specific. I live in south Florida, and it's pretty much the exact opposite here. I see Tangled commercials quite frequently, but have only seen a handful for Tron.

Oh my. I think the time is going to come at some point in the future that RnRC is going to have to be debranded and run as a general music/rock-themed coaster. While this is a sample size of 4, my nieces and nephews (ages 6-11) have no clue who Aerosmith are, nor do they particularly care for...

I was just a kid when Tron was released, and didn't see it until I was well into my teens. However, while I wouldn't describe it as a great movie, I'm not really sure where all the Tron hate is coming from, nor what folks see as confusing about the movie. I guess to each his own. It seemed good...

It appears that after "Tangled" Disney Animation is getting out the "Princess" and fairy-tale business. This is very interesting, as the past few years have seen WDW jump head-first into this arena. I wonder if D.A. will continue with the direct-to-DVD releases of their princess-themed...

While I may out myself as a nerd here, I am not ashamed to say that the beginning of that gave me a few goosebumps. How ashamed I am that I can be so easily manipulated by clever advertising.

I don't think it's overrated, but I do wish that a. the video quality was better, and b. that the two theaters played different videos. I do however think that the theming of the Soarin' area is sub-par.

That clock tower in Prague was very impressive. The Disney projections, not so much.

It seems that Disney is using their pricing more to mold attendance patterns than to significantly increase revenues. IMO, many of their changes are designed to increase trip durations and to get people spending more money on property. Based on that, I would assume that that tickets prices that...

I think I know someone who has large short positions in their investment portfolio.

I didn't mean they mean they need more ultra-high end places. I was just trying to point out how good I think the management of these places is. However, a few Disney managed Friday's/Chili's/Red Robin equivalents sprinkled throughout the parks would be nice. Right now I feel like the World is...

I'm not sure what Disney's strategic reason is for this, but I do know that California Grill and Victoria and Albert's are by far the best overall experiences I have had at Disney. Now whether this is because they are manged by Disney or because they serve high-end food is another debate...

While this is off-topic to the thread, it fits with the current tangent we've gone off on. I've spent my entire working career in South Florida, and my contact with unionized workers and union shops has been fairly limited. However, I have recently had to conduct a fair amount of business in the...

While I have no thoughts on the Polynesian's musical selection, do my eyes deceive me or did I just read an acronym for background music (BGM)?!?! :eek: The acronym madness here has got to stop. I feel like I'm reading texts from my pre-teen nephew half of the time.
