But seriously...I don't see a conspiracy.
I see a legit inquiry being made, and Disney being handed a PR nightmare.

Expect more "Disney Infinity-esque" announcements over the upcoming months to take focus off of MyMagic+ until the next incarnation of it is figured out.
Has Bill Belichick been coaching Team Disney on the side?All I can say to that is who wouldn't?
This is handing a golden opportunity to your competition. All they have to do is pick up the fumble and run!
It seems nowadays, that if you're riding the Disney bus, and you mention to the driver that there's a traffic jam ahead and you should try a different route, you get booted off the bus.
Great. More benches. Just what we need.I was discussing this with a fellow MAGICal member earlier. I am pretty sure that Disney is going to 'announce' something next week. Nothing big ... nothing like mythical fifth gates, new EPCOT attractions, monorail expansion or the like.
Something YOU made up?(btw, that example was just something I made up!)
Reading the letter I see a Congressman that got all fired up over a massive amount of unfounded conjecture in a newspaper article firing off a ranting series of questions that have for the most part been addressed in a few lines by Disney. I expect they'll have lawyers draw up a formal response and the kerfuffle will fade from memory...I found one!

Maybe....but if we're lucky, mainstream media will get this in the heads of Joe Q Public, and they're the ones that will vote with their wallets, ending up "vacationing like they mean it".I was discussing this with a fellow MAGICal member earlier.

More like something to get fanbois to follow the laser pointer and take their eyes off the prize.
Maybe we could have AC performances for three weekends at TPFKaTD-MGMS announced by Georgie K in his first day ... just some stupid inconsequential thing to get people off of MyMagic+ (btw, that example was just something I made up!) and talking about how Disney really does love them (it just won't do that one act in the bedroom that you really want from a lover!)![]()
PR wise...the damage is done. Regardless of the answers Disney gives. They're on the defensive now.Reading the letter I see a Congressman that got all fired up over a massive amount of unfounded conjecture in a newspaper article firing off a ranting series of questions that have for the most part been addressed in a few lines by Disney.

The only earthshattering news will be that guests who opt out will not get the enhanced experience that comes with opting in.

Considering they will be completely phasing out regular Fastpass completely, it will be a far diminished experience.Reading the letter I see a Congressman that got all fired up over a massive amount of unfounded conjecture in a newspaper article firing off a ranting series of questions that have for the most part been addressed in a few lines by Disney.

I write a check for 1.5 billion then enter it in my check register for 2 billion. I do that all year, then at the end of the year I have quite a yearly bonus.
What's not to like about that?
Please consider the following:First...this is a change in procedure. They've been tracking your butts for decades. They just found a new way to do it that is really less invasive because now you don't have to answer a bunch of foolish question. They can, of course, now know where you specifically are in the parks but I fail to see why that is a problem. Please enlighten me. They have also been watching your every move with cameras for years. I see no difference.
Would a new show at DHS be to big of an announcement?I was discussing this with a fellow MAGICal member earlier. I am pretty sure that Disney is going to 'announce' something next week. Nothing big ... nothing like mythical fifth gates, new EPCOT attractions, monorail expansion or the like.

No......I'd last ten minutes in management. I'd never be able to stop pointing out the correct way of being in the hospitality business. My wife and I own a B&B on the Maine coast....although a bit cold right now, I wouldn't trade Maine for anything. I've got friends on the West Coast that have worked for WDAnimation and a few in marketing. None are there now....and they always chuckled when the word "creative" was thrown around.Did this happen to you?
I could see this whole thing being packed up and shipped to the Far East.
Kind of like Lucky...
I've lurked for a while.
