This will be the twelfth park Disney has opened in sixty years of operating them. There's no excuse.

Damn - never even thought of that one, Hard hats with Mickey Ears, suppose one could add 'Glow with the show' elements as well
Ummmm it did 737million dollars. How is that not exploding?

Every day - I think it cannot get worse at WDW, And then it gets WORSE, Even my levels of negativity and low expectations are simply insufficient for the unpleasant reality at WDW these days.
Especially on a team only marvel buffs actually know about.

Remember any film made by Disney is considered a failure by the insane beancounters who run TWDC if it does not make at least 1 Billion dollars.
Thanks for all the notes I've gotten. Support is nice, but I don't mind people questioning this because it is so damn stupid it almost defies explanation. But anyone watching The Playbook from the Bob Iger era should expect things like this.
People like to attack, but they do so out of ignorance. They simply don't know. I do.
No different than in another lifetime when Lifestylers didn't exist, but deniers did. They all went bonkers when I said Fire Mountain was simply a blue sky concept that was pitched and not going to happen because a Space pavilion was replacing Horizons at EPCOT. That was the major new attraction coming. No, they shouted. A con man had told them about a dramatic major mountain headed to the MK. One that would rise dramatically over Adventureland and beckon from the beach at the Poly. A real thrill ride to compete with the new kid on the block in IOA.
Sounds amazing. Right?
The fans ate it like crappy samples off trash cans at one of EPCOT's 21 annual food and booze and pukefests. Except it was all fantasy. Fire Mountain never came close to being built. And that is what one Spirit told fans. They attacked me. Of course what they didn't know was my source was the then VP of EPCOT. You may know him today as WDW's top man. Yes, Georgie K was once a Spirited source. Now, you know a bit how seriously I take sourcing.
You may not like my presentation. You may not like what I post. But I do take it seriously. And my info comes from legit channels ...
People in the twitverse would do well to vet those they listen to half as well as I do. Twitter is loaded with frauds, cons and addicts. and BRAND advocates as well. And having information in no way makes you knowledgeable. I know what is going on. I don't like it anymore than you do.

They didn't even have water fountains working in Disneyland for opening that should have meant that the entire park was NOT READY for occupancy period and in EPCOT there were a lot of exposed steel areas. No park that I can remember was completely ready for opening when it opened, again making mountains out of mole hills. And who cares anyway, it's in China. Even then have you noticed the number of construction walls in WDW right now? Why is that any different? The reason may be different but the end result is exactly the same.

It's really getting that bad. Won't be long now........
"Cinderella Castle getting replaced with (insert latest greatest IP here)"
Thankfully I will have jumped ship long before then.
You must kiss my ring ... always.
But don't present other scenarios that you think make more sense (even if they do) like I can answer for TWDC/WDI. I can only tell you the rationale as presented to me. I did that. Harass Bob Chapek if you do not wish to see this happen.

Speaking of cons, any chance the lifestyler in tax trouble has anything to do with a divorce decree?
No. Just Spirited Sarcasm. I admit I love the fact that Bob can't have what he wants. Marvel's east coast home will always be at UNI. Even if the GotG find a home at The Corpse of The Disney-MGM Studios.

It makes perfect sense for someone from Consumer Products with no Theme Park experience to come up with such an obvious product-pushing endeavor such as this. This is looking potentially worse than Paul Pressler.

I would like this entire post 1000x if I could. I just don't understand how people can continue to defend this cheapening and dilution of the product while prices are shamelessly, constantly raised, this hollowing out and wh*ring out of so many sectors of American business, NOT just Disney, lord knows. There used to be at least a pretense of trying to provide customers with some sort of value and competent service for their money, some sort of attempt to treat employees well as the company succeeded and "executive" compensation was merely high instead of beyond obscenity. It's all being looted and pillaged, and sadly sanctioned and even cheered on by way too many people. To see Walt Disney World, what is still a truly remarkable place that gets less so with each passing year, succumb to this corporate orgy of greed and hubris and contempt for customers and employees, is just very very sad and I can only shake my head at the people who don't get it.
