They're green... is this some sort of Kermit-themed corn dog?

So just a regular corn dog with green food coloring.
The biggest frustration of the evening was IT/infrastructure. If we're going to be reliant on our phones to get value out of Genie+, the internet in the park needs to actually work (WiFi wouldn't let me connect either), and the app needs to stop logging everyone out for no reason. Guest Relations helped me get back to square 1, but then my decision to get in line for Indy blew that as well.
I always tell people that I love technology, but Disney just doesn't implement it right at all. Themeparks shouldnt require you to use technlogy to plan out your day and enter each ride.
It's like Disney invented a solution for a problem that never existed in the first place.
That is what happens when the entire program is outsourced, rushed and there is no inhouse testing first. I'd hate to be on call for that department. Heck, they probably don't have anyone on call for programming problems outside of Bob's spreadsheets. Priorities.
The app itself should never access an external web site. It should be self contained and simified. There is too much advertising and too little functionality. It's architecture is chaotic. I bet it is really easy to hack.
The fact that you typed two very different foods means this is a fail, right? haha...A Christmas hotdog/churro

Many people advance to the top of companies by being smart, or attractive, or a good speaker, or a good leader.
Somehow Bob Chapek is none of the above.
He literally cannot leave this company fast enough.Bob Chapek is packin. Confirmed. It’s the only thing left
No wonder Bob Iger kept promoting him. I’d always assumed their relationship was purely platonic, silly me.Bob Chapek is packin. Confirmed. It’s the only thing left
It's sad that Disneyland couldn't figure out a way to work things out for these people. I feel like they have lost their way.
Why can’t picking days just be part of buying the ticket? You don’t buy a ticket to a movie theater and then pick the showtime during a completely separate interaction. If people want to pre-buy tickets for undetermined dates then it should be an opt-out system, not an opt-in system.The same thing almost happened to my mother last October in Florida.
The day before I planned to go to Magic Kingdom, she decided to join me on impulse. She bought her ticket, and I tried to talk her through the reservation process over the phone. She was sure she did it correctly, and that was that.
Next day: apparently my Mom didn't do it correctly because according to their system she didn't have a park reservation. They weren't going to let her into the park or even onto the ferry boat to get from the TTC to the actual park. The only reason they budged was because she was able to convince them she had a dinner reservation in the park (thankfully they didn't check this-it was a reservation for two but it didn't specifically have her name on it). Otherwise they wouldn't have let her in and she would have thrown $150 down the toilet (since our schedule wasn't flexible and the WDW 1 day ticket expiration window is now literally four days).
Which begs several questions:
1. Why doesn't the system require you to make a reservation before you are allowed to buy the ticket, ESPECIALLY if it's a one day ticket, ESPECIALLY if it's literally for the next day?
2. Why are they so stringent on enforcing this, ESPECIALLY if the day before there was clearly no danger of running out of park reservations?
3. How can a company still smarting about its superior customer service continue to enforce such a policy so strictly (and in direct contradiction to how they tend to enforce their other rules) and talk about how awesome their service is with a straight face?
I'm sure it's helping Disney from a cost saving and staffing perspective, and that's why it's in place. But do they really think that choosing park reservations as the one hill they will die on is in their best interest as a business? Do they really think that these people who are turned away after they spent the money will ever go back to Disney after that ordeal, with those people's takeaway being "lol whoopsie I guess I'll do better next time" and not "I will never give this business money again"? It beggars belief.
Because Disney has to make things as Goofy and Mickey Moused as possible.Why can’t picking days just be part of buying the ticket?

This. This this this!!!! x1000!!!Why can’t picking days just be part of buying the ticket?

The person with the fixation on the wires got fired?Anyone think the Red Car Trolley is done for? Seems odd it isn’t back yet and no mention of it from what I have seen. Issues having it go through the Avengers Campus?
