    MyMagic+ article from Fast Company magazine

    Enjoyed the article! It's one of the few non-biased articles I've read about MM+. Most articles are either travel blog style articles talking about all the positives or some blog espousing all the faults. I've read very few articles from true journalists about MM+ that actually dug into the...

    Repainting of Epcot Central Plaza?

    Could someone please post a video and point out the horrible condition of the fountains? We were just there in Nov and they seemed very similar to what they've been over the years. I didn't notice any missing streams or gaps. The music played, the lights works, the fountains danced, the...

    Repainting of Epcot Central Plaza?

    Have you seen it in person? I have. It looks MUCH better than these pictures.

    Anyone Have Solar Panels?

    I've never met anyone with a private installation or seen a public installation (such as a school) that actually saved money, even when you multiply it out by the expected lifetime. The initial costs plus the maintenance costs are always higher than predicted. Buy backs are always lower than...

    Nasty incident outside Club Cool at Epcot tonight

    Guess we were there the same day... Or, some people have to lie to fit their agendas.

    Nasty incident outside Club Cool at Epcot tonight

    Why do you continue to lie? The "Outdoor Kitchens" have been part of the festival for several years now. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/epcot/outdoor-kitchens/ Please, tell us which one is trumpeted as a booze kiosk? Oh, you can't. Because you simply lie. Also, we were at...

    Animal Kingdom Tusker House Character Breakfast

    It's a favorite of ours! We try to get a reservation at 8am so we're in the first seating. We usually get done right before 9am and they have a rope drop right outside the restaurant. If you wait there, you can be in the first couple of vehicles when the Safari opens at 9. Usually lots of...

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    A quick google finds a picture of what the view used to look like... It used to include trees and, gasp, light poles. The new view is a huge improvement and the lovely view down Main Street is still there without the light poles. Unfortunately, it does get dark at night, so the lights are...

    MyMagic+ down resort wide. 8/2

    Yep, been there when turn styles were not working, dining system down, even remember them pulling out the credit card sliders because their POS was offline. I've had to call back several times over the years because reservations were down. This stuff has always happened and will continue to...

    Two New VIP Tours Debuting at Walt Disney World

    FYI... On the Day of Thrills page, under availability, you have Young Family information. Of course, it may be exactly the same (except the name). Thanks for the info!

    TEA/AECOM 2013 Report

    A couple more thoughts... Pandora is being added to DAK, but DHS and Epcot need investment to keep the momentum. It's clear that investment has helped MK, DCA, IoA so maybe that investment will be turned loose soon. I can't imagine there are any plans for a 5th gate as too much needs to be...

    TEA/AECOM 2013 Report

    If the numbers had shown huge increases for Universal and losses for Disney, the same people trying to rationalize that the numbers are wrong, would be singing the praises of the report. Having good numbers released for WDW just doesn't fit their world view (pun intended) so they resort to sour...

    OPENING DAY - Seven Dwarfs Mine Train

    Looks like the first few wait times were guesses before the cards had time to get through the queue to get a more exact time. My guess is they are still trying to figure out estimates of wait times based on where people are at in the line, how quickly the line moves in relation to FP, etc.

    SDMT What will the normal wait be?

    Of course the hourly capacity will play into the wait times, but it's only one factor. It's a brand new attraction so the popularity will be a major factor. Crowd flows, FP distribution, time of day, and new CMs will also be factors in the wait time. Even if the ride has an theoretical...

    Inbox Viewer?

    @wdwmagic I've seen this noted in other places and I believe it's an ad campaign. You should be able to block it within adwords.

    Sentinel reports that MyMagic+ executive vice president Nick Franklin will be leaving in July

    Hah. I gave specific links to a reputable news source that included the $1B budget with a quote from an executive that it's not over budget. That's reality and that facts in hand. It's not based on some anonymous forum poster claiming to be an "insider." Show me a fact that says otherwise is...

    Sentinel reports that MyMagic+ executive vice president Nick Franklin will be leaving in July

    Couple of things about your post. You've highlighted several things, but nothing ominous or out of the ordinary. The number of special events have been increased over many years. They've been trying different events and they've added days to ticketed events multiple times. Trying to tie that...

    Sentinel reports that MyMagic+ executive vice president Nick Franklin will be leaving in July

    I knew you would have those numbers on a sticky note. ;) So, without knowing exactly how those numbers are calculated, what could drive down the number? Was the 11% additive to the average 8%? or was 11% the total goal? Normally, a single quarter outlier has more to do with external forces...
