A Spirited Dirty Dozen ...

[MagicHappens1971]

First you claimed there were no benches in DA due to a Jo request so when I posted that there are more benches in DA than the whole of the Magic Kingdom then you said something about Hogsmeade. Those are two different lands in two different parks so I am the one saying "Huh?". About as much sense as asking about the new frozen ride in the MK when everyone knows it is in EPCoT.

Hope that is clear enough for you and there are benches in Hogsmeade as well. Visit sometime and take a look for yourself

I worded it incorrectly, and I didn't realize it till now, I meant "the limited amount of benches.". I said "Huh?" because you said two different lands in two different parks and then brought up Frozen Ever After. I was confused because none of those topics are related.

I know, I get a thing when people point out what Jo did and did not do. The bench thing has come up before and I was at the MK when they pulled all the benches there. I was at DA when they started adding benches once the crowds of opening died down. Most of the time it is just something I let slide but I don't want anyone to think there are no benches because Jo said so. It just isn't so.

Do we need to ankle bite over this, girls?

Can I just say what is Disney thinking with this casting and why? Especially with Kevin Harts and Amy Adams in negotiations.

It's not unprecedented.

There's another abandoned EPCOT?

You WIN!

And that version was crap despite Alfre Woodard being a great actress.

My favourite Vegas fanboi, who should have been hired by Disney months ago because he is worlds better at social media than Cupcake and Co., finally has made it to SDL. And promptly spent almost three grand on a set of glittery mouse ears. (Hey, I never said he was sane or didn't have too much $$$!)

But as seen on his Tweeter, he apparently has spent six hours at SDL and not gotten on one ride because the attractions keep going down (no fanboi/Imagineer jokes here). I think I told y'all that the park wasn't ready and there would be problems after the media went home ...

Oprah Winfrey is a talented actress with star power and most things she's been in have been box office successes? Just spitballing here.

I am food driven. Only reason I step in the Simpsons land is for the big pink from Lard Boys with a flaming moe and for Potter I go through like 12 butterbeers in one visit. Despite what poople think food can make or break an immersive environment. Do you really think they drink Coke in Pandora?

If Coke has anything to do with it they do.

So @ParentsOf4 can we look forward to an in-depth post from you on Comcast's financials released today?

The finding nemo float still doesn't work (the fish are meant to Bob in and out of the Pelicans mouth).

I am in Shanghai twice in August so expect a full report and photos if I find anything worth sharing.

At least for P&R they will probably be better than Disney P&R.

That great detail extends to the TMs working there. I once had to explain what the Internet was, lol.

Omg Mike, you're such a muggle!

Have you read this article @WDW1974 about an interview with Michael Eisner? I wanted to get your thoughts on it. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michael-eisner-disney-colleagues-rivals-914841

Of course Eisner wants internal. Bob kept his machine purring the past 11 years with the old gang. The whole thing needs to be blown up

Early reviews for Pete's Dragon are surprisingly strong out of the gate. It will be interesting to see if a summer blockbuster which hits in the 80-ish RT range can overcome a lack of excitement. This seems to be the summer of audiences matching critical reception, but thus far that's mostly audiences rejecting movies.
