Uni is sending out surveys about character dining and upcharge events. I guess we knew it was only a matter of time. Upcharging is now officially the herpes of theme parks.

The surveys always include various configurations of perks & prices to see how much you'll pay for hypothetical packages, usually with parade viewing or mini golf thrown in. $65 for character breakfasts & lunches with no extras kept appearing....Up charging is fine if its not overly expensive i.e USJ has upcharge events/attractions during Universal Cool but max they cost per event is 5 dollars and HHN makes sense stateside but its more so when they try to charge you 75% of a single day ticket to eat cupcakes and see fireworks is really ridiculous.
Case in point the entire opening to the Sochi Olympics.The Russians are much more organized and can build things incredibly fast when the motivation is there and If Ol Vladimir says this is a 'Hero' project like the Olympics in Sochi I can easily imagine the Russki's pulling this off, Remember EPCOT only took 2 years from ceremony to opening. (but that was under a 'can-do' Walt Disney Productions where the Guest was the Customer) It's quite amazing what engineers and construction workers can do when they are not hobbled by 'Mahogany Row'.

Yes, but he's saying quite the opposite. I'm struggling to see how his math would make sense. I want to him to explain, for the sake of discussion, how all his numbers come together.
TSMM counted separately in the case can't be right. If his Cars Land number is accurate, then some other projects had to do heavy lifting. TSMM would be one of them.
@WDW1974's quoted expansion cost was 1.7 Billion including WoC and TSMM. @rushtest4echo isn't inclined to believe Spirit (you can look at some of his earlier posts in this thread to glean that much) so I wanted him to make his point.
Not that really am inclined to believe him over others, but it's at least worth giving everyone a fair chance to explain and clarify.
Only way I can imagine them opening the next year is.. if they pull a CHINA (aka an army of chinese workers working 24/7 nonstop, aka more than 5,000++ workers at same time)
For example.. they JUST started showing SULLY 2 weeks ago.
And Its now available in bluray!
It's more that we don't want to see them start to use upcharges as crutches like Disney seems to have done. Their list goes on for miles and is always expanding.If I'm not forced to upcharge, and it has relative little effect on my trip, I see no issue.
That's the kicker. HP wasn't mentioned at all and I'm pretty sure JKR wouldn't allow any kind of face characters in WWoHP, which is the only way Uni would make any money at this. Nobody I know wants to pay that kind of money to meet Gru and Homer SimpsonIf it was related to Harry Potter, I might consider it. something along the lines of fighting death eaters or something. Or a fancy Christmas feast. But I can't see myself purchasing an up charge for anything else.

*ahem* Frozen *ahem*
I wish Lilo and Stitch gotten more love because of this.YEP.
Frozen just wasn't that good. I'm so sick of hearing "But it was a good sister movie!" coming from people. Lilo and Stitch is a MUCH better film, in terms of sisterhood.
I like Moana and Tangled more than Frozen but it was still enjoyable. Not sure if it needs a sequel though.YEP.

I was thinking about something more along the lines of what Japan did, but better.That's the kicker.

I loved Frozen, but I'm dreading the sequel. It doesn't need it. Besides, the Frozen short about Anna's birthday is apparently canon, and it created major plot holes for Elsa's powers (can she create life from ice and make floral clothing? According to that short, yes).I like Moana and Tangled more than Frozen but it was still enjoyable. Not sure if it needs a sequel though.
