For arguments sake,
I could get a job that is 9 hours away from home. I could only get an hour from the office. I could get a full time wage and never show up.

It just doesn't hold up to re-rides as well as a result. But I agree that my most memorable rides are always with first timers who suck.
I think it just needs more missions as its chosen one isn't the greatest profile.
One of the other ways to fix it would have them go off script for 20-25% of the run time or so and transfer the flight controls to the other positions briefly. It just really is a dichotomous experience with the positions, unless you are laughing at a loved one drive for the first time. Transferring the flight controls briefly would also lead to even more hilarity.

Falcon is one of my favorite rides because being able to sit in the cockpit and pull that lever that gets you into hyperspace is just a :chefkiss: moment for me and my kids that it's almost worth the price of admission in to the park.
My family has done Falcon over and over because of that.

I on the other hand have been an Engineer 80% of the time for strangers and a gunner 15% of the time.
I have just once driven, it's getting tiresome.

It’s a shame they don’t add more missions to Falcon, our last trip we did Star Tours and our entire vehicle cheered when the Mandalorian scene started, everyone was so excited, the primary benefit of a screen ride is the same ride can feel totally new.

What really burns me is that Shanghai gets a new Peter Pan ride, and Tokyo gets a new Peter Pan ride, but we Yanks here in the States are stuck with an old, creaky Peter Pan ride that was built in 1955.
Again, it is to weep.

If they can bring in the Mandalorian, then they can bring in Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia as well.

Put it this way, I have a family of 5 and my WDW trips are massively expensive. I don't know your personal story, but if you're there solo or with a smaller amount of people, then your trips are much cheaper than mine. So you can take that as a trade off!

It's more fun than Smugglers' Run, so they'd better keep it!

Non-sense... if you think employees are just things that just show up regardless of the value of the shift and such patterns have no impact.. you deserve the crappy turnover you will have.
Employees have a ROI for a job too... if you ignore that fact, you won't retain employees.

Local WESH news is reporting tonight that Disney is planning a fifth major park and two new minor parks. I don’t see this being reported anywhere else. What are they going on about?

New parks, hotels, restaurants: What to know about Disney's proposed expansion in Florida
A fifth major theme park would add new firepower in the local theme park wars, with Universal opening its third gate, Epic Universe, next year.

The idiots are confusing the land use plan as an actual plan rather than as simply zoning in case they want to build a new park.
A "new gate" and two smaller ones has be in the zoning for over a decade.
The ""news station"" completely misses the point of the land use zoning.
It got on their radar because Disney put that all in the 2030 plan in the contract with the old RCID so that the new board couldn't mess with it. The current detente with the new board has the 2030 plan annulled and a new 2030 plan about to put in place (nearly identical to Disney's 2030 plan, only the new board gets to exercise their authoritay).
I look forward to their retraction.

It's the development agreement that allows that many not that they are building them

5th park called DVC Land ----multiple generic high rises adding 13,666 more rooms.

We don’t have to go back to high rises to look at the failures now.
Tower was built in about 14 months flat. Splash about the same…the entirely of Epcot in 4 years…
Meh…they don’t get things done because they’ve decided it looks “smart” that way. Construction is 1000x easier now with computer controlled design and fabrication…in many ways guys are rhere to weld and bolt.
But nobody beats Bob and the B team!!
Crazy how they just worked to get it done then, huh?
It’s repetitive…but it’s also a silly concept based mostly on a flopped movie.
I’m trying to figure out how you think you’re paying more?Put it this way, I have a family of 5 and my WDW trips are massively expensive. I don't know your personal story, but if you're there solo or with a smaller amount of people, then your trips are much cheaper than mine. So you can take that as a trade off!
I’ll meet you on the playground with my receipts anytime you want
Also…what exactly does that matter? Are you say the more you spend, the more you “submit” and make excuses for Disney?
…oh…that would be grand

Yep. Let the record state that this is one of the rare occasions where I agree with you.

Lots of people misinterpreting what was announced this week. The development agreement is NOT a commitment by Disney to spend a dime or to build anything at all over any period of time. By Florida law, the district is required to publish a development plan every decade of what growth they see within the district and how they’ll meet the infrastructure requirements to support that growth. That plan identifies eligible real estate that ‘could’ be developed for various purposes during the term of the plan. I’m pretty sure the option to build a 5th theme park has been in at least the last 2 master plans for the former RCID but Disney never moved forward on that option. This is nothing more than the district and Walt Disney World stating this is the MAXIMUM they could build during that period. They are not committing to do any of what’s in there.

All that was announced is an agreement of the absolutely maximum that Disney might decide to do that will then be incorporated into the districts 10 year Development Plan. The last one got mucked up by COVID and politics. This one will replace that and become the basis for the next decade or so of development on the land.
Now that they have this agreement in place, Disney can go ahead and decide what projects they’d like to move on within the bounds of the agreed development plan for the overall property and work with the district for roads and other infrastructure needed to support that development.
