Tommy's is like Pink's, but with less choices. It's a chili burger/hot dog joint. They're delicious.
I hope a DLR visit will work with your seemingly tight schedule.

I guess i should feel bad for you but I dont. I mean children have an excuse to be so devoid of logic, rational thought, or common sense. You on the other hand are just actively dimwitted. Also you are a proud delusional person.

Data mining can be evil if used improperly, as far as rants go Disneyhead is the last to do it, I love how you have the right to call him on it though, sounds like a case of I'm better than everyone and I bet you can't win this peeing contest to me. You didn't only call him out you made fun of him for looking out for his kid, that's a line most people won't and shouldn't cross

Im not doing anything wrong. The tin foil brigade on the other hand....
Sorry, @flynnibus.
But there is a huge difference between those companies and TWDC and you are being disingenuous by claiming otherwise.
None of the companies you have listed initiate, cultivate or otherwise engage the under-13 demo ... you know, kids.
The under-13 demo is the precise one TWDC is going after. It is key to this intiative. Being that Markey was behind COPPA, you know that little act that was designed to protect that demographic, to be asking why the Congressman is asking these very valid, very important questions is very, very curious.

Such valid and important questions...lol
Yeah it is so important for a congressman to know why Disney wants to know what products people buy? That evil mouse.

Wait, you mean name calling and thread derailing are not rational thoughts? Gee, here I thought bulls was adding to the conversation and not trolling... Gee, how stupid am I now... Anyway, enough with the child...
Iger's response cannot come fast enough... Would love to see what he has to say... Though, I doubt this will lead to any kind of visit to Capital Hill...

Maybe by the end of the night
I felt it was worthy or else I wouldn't have posted it.
But I am glad to know you have nothing to do with this project or the companies involved in it. You do seem heavily preoccupied with the discussion though.
I would agree with you about how companies through money like it is just colored paper. Of course, it does bother me, especially since companies are so predictable (like hiring consultants with track records of destroying other BRANDS because they've got a Goldman Sachs connection, for example, instead of bringing in fresh blood with a fresh perspective).
I also think you may have a point about the entire spend. But I've made my point very clearly: I HATE the whole waste of spending in its totality. This was an incredible waste of funds, the type that should have heads from Staggs on down to MacPhee looking for employment elsewhere (and taking literally a horde of their minions with them). I do think that is worth discussing as WDW crumbles.
Spending on dining locales, with third-party sponsors, is weak to illustrate Disney's commitment to invest in WDW. ... And we're not talking much about Cars Land or Pandora because Disney isn't doing anything on them that remotely makes you think that they'll be open by 2017-18, while UNI builds massive E-Ticket experiences in year.
The BoD HATES the theme park business and wants to spend as little as possible on the division. If MyMagic+ is a two billion dollar bust, you really believe they'll pay billions more for REAL attractions? That's beyond wishful thinking.
Don't believe it. Your choice. I may have some breaking news coming out of Burbank for you tomorrow on the matter.
But Disney is concerned. VERY, VERY, VERY concerned (yeah, I used caps to drive that point home!)
Yep. That's an excellent forum that I joined at the urging of friendly Spirits. I just don't have enough time for multiple forums, which is good considering another dying place I used to frequent apparently wants all its old members that it drove away to return. Funny how that happens.

Its worthy - but you won't find me trying to argue for the obscene spending or justifying why it's 10 dollars instead of 4 dollars. Just too far detached to make reasonable arguments and this is an area that drives me mad with organizations. I've been part of companies where people are trusted to spend properly, and people treat the money as if its their own - and the other end of the spectrum just makes me ed. I don't come online in my free time to be agitated and ed
I use those examples to illustrate people, as always, are picky about complaining about where spending is done. My point is money is flowing - its just not flowing in the volume and where people want. Same @$%$, different day.
I am conflicted over your statements here.. how do they allow 500+ million dollar overruns if they hate it so much... unless they are simply handing them the rope.. so to speak.
I mean, there should be ways to scale a project back if overruns are in a problem... especially a project that has multiple aspects like this.

well maybe they'll announce Staggs going to washington for a few days.. for next month's installment of limited time magic
I'd largely agree with you. I might be more lenient toward Disney and say just leave 25% of tables for day of. But absolutely staff the places.
I loved walking up to places at 5:30 and being told 'we're booked for the night' when they're serving until 9 and over half the dining room is empty.
If people are willing to wait, then you need to be ready to serve ... so in one way I'll go a step further. In the real world if a restaurant closes at 9 and you there at 8:53, you get seated and served. Disney absolutely wants to shut these places down, so even if Le Cellier could serve you its overrated and overpriced steaks if you walked up right before closing, they wouldn't.
Of course, I just have largely stopped giving them my food $$$. They don't deserve them anymore, so let them seat a rube instead of me. Their loss as I tend to class up the place!
