    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    So, you must wonder how to solve the current issues. Two to Three new E-tickets in each park in the next 2-3 years (to fight Universal expansions)? Return FastPass but make lightning link an option to go to the FastPass line immediately? Return Disney Express? Remove Park reservations? Bring...

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind Virtual Queue and Lightning Lane status

    I find it very disturbing that peope believe 1000's of line slots are gone in 10 seconds or less. How about Disney come out and admit they are doing this to sell $25 a person line access.

    Disney Q2 FY2019 Earnings

    The question I have is that if you raise ticket, room and food/drink prices by over 7 percent, on average, during the past year, and you only see 5 percent revenue growth, doesn't that mean that said "growth" is declining?

    The turtle and the hare

    I’m sure other people have noticed that other theme parks (Universal in particular) seem to be able to build new attractions, parks, etc., three to four times faster then Disney. Do you think this is because Disney tends to stretch out construction over several fiscal year to reduce risk, or...

    Disney bait & switch on Cyber Monday.

    I went to www.shopdisney.com to see if there were any discounts on Cyber Monday. The banner on the landing pages says “30 percent discount on order over $150”. However, was unable to apply the discount on the items I was trying to purchase. Using this website’s chat function, I came to find out...

    Fountain & Bottled Drink, Popcorn, Pretzel, and Other Snack Item Prices Exponentially

    So, and I'm just guessing here :-), that the long term strategic vision of the Disney Corporation is to have only 500 people visiting each of the four Disneyworld parks on a daily basis but each paying $25K per day. That should about equal the yearly revenue at the parks.

    Increased daily rates

    Please note that this is not a bashing post, just a consideration for future vacation planning/budgeting. Once the Skyline/Gondola project is in operation, is it expected that Disney will raise daily rates at the resorts supported by this transportation mode? And if so what percentage do you...

    Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2017

    Not only is it early, but the number of dates for both events works out be approximately 50 percent of all days between September and December. What this means to mean is that unless you are willing to pay for these "special" events you wind up with less value for the "standard" ticket you use...

    Will Disney Caribbean Beach Resort become a deluxe resort?

    Even if Disney is still vague on the details on what all is going to happen at CBR, I concerned with the following: - Addition of DVC on premise at the resort which probably mean an uptick in landscaping and recreational facilities. If you compare what is there now to what other DVC locations...

    Disney testing Virtual Queues at its Walt Disney World water parks

    Let's support Disney using the vast resources of the corporation to be able to shout "Me too!"

    Must check that spelling

    So, the new counter service restaurant in Avatar land is named Pongu Pongu. I find this amusing because in Korean "bang-ku" (방귀), which is pronounced as either (to English ears) bang-gwi or colloquially bang-ku, (which is pronounced the same way as Pongu), means "break wind". Not kidding here.

    News Caribbean Beach Expansion

    This is going to be a very interesting price exercise for Disney. If you consider the expiration dates of many current DVC contracts and not considering the loss of perks due to resale. Even with possible lower points costs due to location and association with a "moderate" level resort/DVC, a...

    Decline in number of Living Sea's inhabitants?

    I don't know if this has been discussed elsewhere, but over the last five years or so I've perceived a decline in the number of "live" fish in the tanks by a significant degree. In reviewing videos for the 90's to now the decline is very noticeable. But, in the last five years the number of...

    Another future failure for Disney bean counters

    I read on another site that Disney is planning an after-hours Star Wars themed event at Hollywood Studios for April 2017. Price of said ticket is a bit more than what Disney has been trying to charge for the same type of event at the Magic Kingdom. What offended me most is the small price...

    Typhoon Lagoon New Raft Ride - Miss Adventure Falls

    Cannot help but think that some idiot in the executive wing said: "Hey! Universial is opening up a brand new water park just a few miles away. Let's come up with a half-assed idea to keep people from going there". Don't think it is going to work.

    Is this really a thing or is it April 1ST? Cabanas in the parks.

    Another site is reporting that those eyesore tents that recently were being offered for "$650" a day, are now being offered through the middle of Feb at about a 30 percent discount. How about them apples Iger?

    New single day quick service dining plan test to begin at the Magic Kingdom

    And the next announcement is any type of food or drinks are no longer allowed to be brought into the parks. This also would allow management to cost average low crowds at any self service restaurant by adjusting what locations are offered on a monthly basis. Also, you can bet because of higher...
