No. There are two branded Cedar Point resorts onsite, as well as some resorts offsite such as kalahari (which incidentally boasts one of the country’s largest indoor water parks)

SFMM as a park is no where on par with CP. Both have an amazing set of coasters and I respect the opinion of anyone who thinks SFMM’s is better then CP’s (although as an airtime fan my nod goes to CP) but SFMM has only a handful of other attractions, next to no shows, and due to this (and SF’s less then stellar ops) you have wait in huge lines or pony up for Flash Pass most of the time not to mention you need to climb up and down the eponymous mountain all day. CP has much more rides, shows, and is located next to a beach and surrounded on three sides by water. I have no problem making multiple multi day trips to CP a year, i last visited SFMM in 2015 and still have no desire to do again (especially since that would be a day in the LA area not doing DL or Knotts)

I was in and calling for reservations with your description until the ND thing came up. I’m out. Just one of those schools that I didn’t like growing up. We all had one or two and ND was mine.

But do we really know the financials involved in the NBA operation?
TWDC pays NBA billions of dollars for broadcast rights .. there's mountains of dollars exchanging hands with or without the bubble. I wouldn't be surprised if the money flowing from NBA's side is using a less conventional vehicle than we're all assuming.

Well even if you don’t like ND, if you like the modern game, that beach is still important. The forward pass is by far the most transformative innovation football has ever seen.

You can't go now because somebody associated with the school was there over a hundred years ago?I was in and calling for reservations with your description until the ND thing came up. I’m out. Just one of those schools that I didn’t like growing up. We all had one or two and ND was mine.

On how much the NBA is subsidizing WDW ops, the bill Disney is presenting is about $1.5 million a day. That's...... not a lot of money.
Here's the massive price tag the NBA is reportedly paying to play its season at Disney World
Three resorts, the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex and the employees of those properties don't come cheap.sports.yahoo.com
It could be argued that Bob Iger is using company resources to broker money losing deals with the NBA. The bet is Disney will make the losses back in TV ad revenue. The odds on that much cash coming in..... not good. Won't be the first time Disney lost a bunch of money on the NBA in Orlando.
For certain: Bob Iger's "friendship" with Adam Silver will continue to be cultivated.
Iger and Silver are of the same political mindset. As for losing money on the NBA, they're doing whatever it takes to get ESPN content.
Probably not, we just didn't expect the whole genocide, pandemic, now get Taiwan combo.
I'm talking about the unpopular attraction at Disney Springs. When cast members had free admission until Dec 31 of last year, that is desperate.

It was a joke! Of course I will go at some point. Was a good excuse to get my opinion out there on ND. I actually liked Knute. I’m almost old enough to have seen him. Kidding again. I guess I just never like when religion gets mixed with anything . Politics or sports. There was just to much of that mixed when people talked about ND for my liking that’s all.
Notre Dame is like the New England Patriots, either love em or hate em. I remember the 1987 football game between Notre Dame and the University of Miami in South Bend. A smart college kid at ND made some money printing shirts " Catholics vs. Convicts ".

Thanks. You said what I was trying to say over a few posts in the last sentence of your post. I feel my temperature rising again so back to topic.
More like the Dallas Cowboys, the Patriots success is only in the last 20 years, Dallas and ND have a history of success in multiple eras of the sport (but are currently in a prolonged drought)

And they say nobody reads forums anymore
@wdwmagic Steve, he says that you're trying to create a narrative? I'm pretty sure that wasn't your objective, it's just a photo! Also you've posted loads of photos of an empty hub, or an empty Epcot. He's going ALL IN on just one photo.
A suggestion. Put a large screen in front of the stage. Maybe Disney could secure the rights to show videos of performances of 90s bands.
I read around 10% of visitors are international
A significant number of guests cant visit or are subject to quarantine requirements coming and or returning.
Well, many of us on this site are known for having "agendas."

The blockout date website is visible to the public. It looks like cast members are able to admit themselves a couple of days in advance (today, tomorrow, and Sunday as of this morning) but they are not allowed to admit guests.
In other words, Disney is letting in their young single cast (lower income and less likely to spend on F&B and merch) while blocking out their married cast with families (higher income and more likely to spend on F&B and merch, not to mention much more likely to book a staycation for themselves in an on-property resort).
