News Disney Leaders Explain How the 'Disney Bubble' Shapes the Guest Experience and What's Next

Well, then Everest is a 6-minute coaster. And then what’s the “ride time” for Tron and Guardians? Does the timer for Space Mountain start when you hit the star tunnel?

The point you’re missing here is that much of the “experience” before the ride vehicle in Rise can be skipped if things aren’t working. Thus, you cannot count that as part of the “ride time”.

Back to the bubble discussion and not what and what does not constitute “ride time”.

Tron is maybe 50 seconds? (Same as rockinroller coaster)

Guardians is maybe 2:30-3?

Also, where have we heard some variation of "biggest expansion in park history" before?

Maybe third time's a charm?

"Biggest* Expansion** in the park's history!***"

*at the time of us saying this, downsizing will occur.
**actually not expanding the park, just using the back half of the RoA.
***not counting New Fantasyland or Tomorrowland 98.

Guardians is maybe 2:30-3?

Remember - the queue and pre-show elements apparently now count for ride time. Guardians must clock in at 18 minutes, Tron at least 5-7. Pirates is now a 27-minute ride, and HM is upwards of 25.

Are these leaders hired during or post pandemic? They really have big shoes to fill like Ronald McDonald size shoes.

You'll have to parse more finely than that. Consider "attraction duration" as well as "ride time."

For example, Ellen's Energy Adventure. Put a stopwatch on that and you'll be saying "YGBSM."

I was thinking more like Bozo, but I agree with the general analogy.

…I don’t have the dust tolerance to huff enough to even try to comprehend that terrible excuse

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

but when does the ride actually start? The ride is intended to be an experience on the level of pirates at Disneyland or journey to the center Of the earth from Tokyo.

“Intent” does not equal results for WDI these days

but it's a whole experience, a lot of great stuff happens before in the actual ride vehicle

just b/c you aren't sitting down doesn't mean the experience hasn't started. It is a full, and lengthly attraction

No…it’s a ride. “Experience” is a PR tactic to try and detach what you’re paying from the product…forced cognitive dissonance.

It’s an old Disney trick…but it’s amazing how well it works to separate you from your money at higher intervals above the cost of inflation. Those Stanford degrees have been well worth it.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

This year we’re staying in the Disney bubble. In Paris, Shanghai and Hong Kong. We see value in these ones.

Not stayed in the Orlando bubble since 2009 and have even less desire to do so today.

…you’re not gonna get any free magnets then

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Why would anyone be offended by young people realizing their dreams?

Offended? No

But is the wisdom gained through real world experience that is only gleaned through time optional? No…it is not

I was thinking more like Bozo, but I agree with the general analogy.

The hypocritical part of bashing mgt is some that do then go on vacation at WDW to keep feeding the Mouse. Two faced to the core.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I think the biggest difference honestly is cost.

Ding ding ding!!

“Shields are down, Sulu…FIRE!”

I am a Millennial, so I mean I’m not immediately offended. But I assume many others of you are.

X figured out long ago that we can’t handle it…I’ll buy you a drink when you get to the same realization.

Actually…I’ll buy you as many as it takes

Funny how they’ve put up a wall
Around the “bubble” with a one way door that only lets people out with awful strategies and prices not in line with the market

Rumor is they're going to replace the Mickey Mouse song with
M I C K E Y M O N E Y

 

[TheMaxRebo]

Looks like testing of the return of a prior bubble perk - so maybe they are listening/adjusting

…yeah…that’s not what peed people off.

I know I'm a few pages late, but that kind of "corpo-speak" is usually indicative of a complete cultural rot at the company. Nothing will change for the better until leadership is completely gutted from the top down and the new regime makes an example out of them. Not holding my breath for that to happen anytime soon barring some sort of hostile takeover (which would be a GREAT thing for the company). "We have never been more well positioned to hear from our guests and really act on it" means they are NOT going to act on anything. Pure PR posturing.

Not trying to dispute your opinion or anything but I’m wondering. What’s wrong with rises execution?
