I’m not sure why operations doesn’t want something that guests like?

They don't want the operation of it to come out of their budget?

Why not? That’s not being smart - I genuinely don’t know

If you look at the normal costs of travel, hotel, and admission (thats no AP, no DVC, no meal plan, no extended stay) A trip to Tokyo Disney Sea/ Disneyland comes out as being less expansive.

By pure coincidence, my next rough plans for a Disney trip are based around Tokyo. But that process started long before the recent coverage.

It makes sense for some of us!

Ouch, stop twisting my arm. It's more the finances to make a trip in that direction work for us. Stupid trans-oceanic airfare... Personally, it would be rather cool to see this walking Olaf in person. Video won't do it justice.

I dunno. It is really expensive, and the return isn't there? Logistically, it is a nightmare to operate if guests do not cooperate (we have seen what people to with the limited run robots in GE)?

Save your miles/points now. That is what we are doing for 2027. lol

why does local management care if something is expensive or what the return is?

I didn’t see any nightmares with living characters in the parks - but that is of course anecdotal.
