I kind of agree with this. They Have already figured out the magic algorithm for staffing relative to expected guests. That doesn’t require multibillions in investments. They don’t necessarily want more people now - they just want to squeeze more money out of those already coming. Building more capacity in a way is cost prohibitive, with no guaranteed ROI

There’s is no check on Disney until there’s a travel recession.

The fact is there never has been other than that if you study the park history.

Look, I don't care how much people hate Bob or the current management, but they are not stupid people.

To not think your biggest competitor right down the road opening a massive third park loaded with extremely popular intellectual properties won't affect you wouldn't be stupid of them, it would be mind-bogglingly, earth shatteringly dumb and short sighted. So much so that if that were the case, the shareholders would likely call for the board of directors and Bob to be replaced due to lack of confidence.

They are smart either. They had a good thing going before Covid hit. Since then it's all about profit more then guest satisfaction.

Disneyland just announced that their cast will be getting new name tags for the 100th anniversary and they can choose their favorite character to be written on it

That happened long before Covid.

What they had was an operational “lead” dating from phase 3/4 (depending on how you classify it) 20 years ago where they could handle increases in travel and consumption.

Iger killed that.

Universal has been following the same model since Comcast decided there were “in” circa 2010. So they look a lot sexier than grandma down the street.

You’re wrong. We need to have a TFR of at least 2.1 or society collapses. You will see in EU lots of pain starting in the next ten years. There will be so many retirees and only so many workers. The crunch placed on families by soaring dependency ratios will leave no room for a trip to DLP, much less flying across the pond to WDW.

It's not our fault the boomers decided to overspawn. Our earth can't sustain this population growth. Europe will be just fine.

Also- "please have kids so they can pay for the retirement of the previous generation" isn't a winning slogan.

I think the bigger issue is that it’s an attraction about enchanted artifacts and has next to nothing to do with animals. You could easily make it fit in a generic explorer/SEA area or just disconnect it from Dinoland entirely, but it ultimately doesn’t fit in the park.

I think the tie is the intrinsic value of nature and the SEA component would have to be played up. Henry Mystic doesn't have the same "pillager" backstory as say Harrison Hightower, but the concept and vibe still feels appropriate to DAK.

Don't totally disagree. But quite honestly I don't think AK should be ride heavy. IMO they decided that that park will be a upgraded zoo and environment area. So unless the "add" in AK will also include a total revamp of Dino land, to include a revamp of Dinosaur and a new ride and updated land, I would MUCH rather they spend the money at HS which also desperately needs new rides and put more effort there. Just my opinion though

I often link EPCOT and DAK as experience and environmentally driven parks. The problem is DAK doesn't have corresponding festivals, nor does it really have a venue that could house them in the future. I also wouldn't anticipate any new attractions with live animals, so the park will ultimately be driven by attractions. They need to be smart about these additions, but they are needed.

My personal preference is that Nemo gets evicted and that entire area is used as either a new land, an expansion to Dinoland USA or both. I'd love to see an extinct animals omnimover, I'd love to see Australia, I'd love to see Mystic Manor. More importantly, I'd love to see something of substance and significance in this area.

Just out of curiosity, has anybody who's been in one of the live action remakes been named a Disney Legend yet?
Click to expand...
I don't know the full list exhaustively, but there are some folks present in recent remakes and sequels (e.g. Ming-Na Wen in the Mulan remake, Dick Van and Angela Lansbury in Mary Poppins Returns, etc.) who are Legends, but not as a result of the remakes or sequels.

EDIT: Uh, didn't mean to trigger the censor there, but whatevs.
