Why are you wishing back problems upon us?
Well, the line, "He's not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy", didn't test will with families. I believe Mr. Creosote will be incorporated into the new Habit Heroes attraction.

Wow. I'm having visions of Disney guests onboard the luxury Disney space liner... You know... The one from Wall-E.

He'd be perfect for the very inclusive version of Habit Heroes!
In the new Python land, "Guest Services" would be slightly renamed to be the "Argument Clinic". Just like everything else Disney does these days, it'd be exactly what exists now, just slightly renamed to fit the theme.

I mean in that moment of time when we are thrilled and over-joyed about how great Avatar turned out. That will last how long? Then, we will go back to b****ing about how crappy things are, which will remind us about all those things we had temporary forgiven them about.
Iger doesn't want that to happen.

If Rasulo takes Iger's job, I'll make local headline news for doing something peaceful yet outrageously stupid.
(I'm not that crazy)
You mean those guests who spent almost $100 to get in to the park and want to get the most out of the money they spent?
It wouldn't matter if the name slapped on the side was "Pia Zadora And Her Flying Camel". If it's the new E-ticket (or two), everyone will be clamoring to check it out regardless of what the theme is.
Besides, the hype train should be rolling out by then, so Avatar will be in the public eye much more than it is now.

Well, you know how it works these days.. wall street says all!
then when a Wall street bubble comes up.. BOOM!, since no base .. means nothing to sustain the weight..
I still wonder why Americans expect worldwide people to do jokes on april's fools too.
Pretty sure most countries have their own ones ( Mexico's april fools or dia de Santos inocentes.. is in the 28 of december.. day of the supposed massacre of innocents by romans on orders from Herodes)
Still, I've seen some very outrageous jokes and bad taste pranks on April's fools D:
SOPAnet maybe?
Where the censoring and the joke of "protecting Copyright" destroys the fair usage in the internet...
I hope they do not add the Killer Rabbits.. they are animals but.. deadly..
Will they also add an attraction to see who can shop more members from the black knight with a giant battle axe?
Also pretty sure the Cow Throwing contest with catapults will be a very popular attraction!

Alice in Wonderland and Small World are the only two worth spending half-day for. Toontown is also worth spending time at.
I would spend the entire day just to ride DL's Pirates or Space Mountain just once!
Buzz Light Year is definitely worth spending time checking out. Big Thunder has new effects worth checking out...
Cars Land is worth returning to DCA for...

I agree with WDWDad13 here. I also agree with you that it's a start. It's a Big Bang of a start, though.
Avatar is for DAK as Cars Land is for DCA.
Avatar and all the rest coming to DAK is equal to DCA 2.0. These projects will turn DAK into DAK 2.0.
EE is the equivalent to when DCA got their version of Tower of Terror.

Certainly you are not. You're critical of them like most, however, in simplest terms, I'd say you're glass half full rather than empty. I think your sparring partner this last couple days, @marni1971 is critical while being somewhat positive as well, though not to the degree you are. He'll toss out a link to one of his videos showcasing the awesomeness of the past to both show what can be done but also what isn't done any longer.

I just felt it was important to point out the the Unlimited FP at Uni, is far more of a individual perk then FP+. FP+, with the exception of timing concerning reserving, is far less of a deal at WDW then the Unlimited is at Uni. At Uni., it is a FP for every FP attraction, how ever often you want to go on it, whatever time of day you get to it. We all know what FP+ offers, onsite or offsite, it's pretty much the same. The purchased "limited" passes at Uni. will allow you to ride each and every FP attraction once per purchase, but still whatever time of the day you get to it.
If or when Uni. has as many rooms available onsite as Disney they will have to change that system. They will literally kill each attraction due to far to many people attempting front of the line with absolutely no control over when they get there. Talk about a nightmare in the making, that sure would be one.
As for the "failure" of MM+. Seriously, all anyone is looking at is park admission bands and fastpass. It should be obvious that MM+ is much more then that to Disney. It is a good tool for them but the interfacing of so many other aspects is what brings in it's value to them. At any rate, even if it is at 2 Billion, I'm thinking that the way it is currently working is telling them that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Lots and lots of bugs have been found and are being worked out. Some of the problems from the beginning are no longer being reported and new ones are cropping up and being addressed as well. When looked at in a tunnel vision manner, like "not enough fastpasses" or the lines are longer and then stating "it's a failure" is just silly. All that can be worked out and all the IT guys and gals know it. It's just that so many do not like change and this is a big one. It will be rough sailing for Disney for a few years, but in the end, it will prove itself to be exactly what they wanted it to be. So, you are absolutely correct, it isn't going away.
Why is everyone so concerned about the length of the test period? Doesn't it make sense to get everything to function during a time when it is easier to make changes then to declare it official and then overhaul it.
In order to have anything erased from memory people have to have a knowledge that it exists to begin with. Of all the Disney Guests those of us that have even an inkling that there is anything wrong are such a small insignificant number that it won't even matter.
I do see a decline from the beginning, but, honestly, certainly not as huge as it is being made out to be. Cuts are bad... for sure! Less entertainment is bad... for sure, but, if one never knew they existed to begin with (which is the case with most) they see nothing to alter how they feel about it. @englanddg, I think, posted a You tube presentation of a themed park in the UK. Really, it is an eye opener concerning what the regular non-Disney obsessed population considers to be a fun place. If nothing else it sure brings it into focus.
My point is that comparatively speaking almost no one is even going to have a memory of the fall. To them it never did. Just speaking reality here.
It must be interesting to live in your reality. Not that I would want to myself. No, no, no, no.
I LIVE in reality and enjoy VISITING Fantasy Land. I think it's the other way around for you.

I actually think that in terms of quality additions that Pandora and the night show will be roughly equivalent to Cars Land and WoC for DCA. And will significantly help it. The problem is that DAK needs more help that that, specifically more things to do. Where are the equivalents to the Monsters Inc dark ride, A Bug's Land, TSMM and Little Mermaid rides, Red Line Trolleys, etc -- DCA got a lot of smaller additions over the years in addition to the headliners and that was also a big part of the turnaround. DAK needs to have a day parade (which DCA has always had) as well as a lot of smaller attractions to fully flesh out the park.

So Ricky Bobby Brigante is enjoying his (what i assume) free stay at Cabana Bay Beach Resort today. He posted a video of the family suite and I gotta say, I really love the look and feel of the resort. Rooms are probably on par or better than WDW moderate (definitely way above CBR) and they have a great 60's vibe to them. Will be interesting to see how the rooms hold up a year or 2 from now. I would stay here in a heartbeat.

Can I just throw this out there? Does anyone suspect that WDW is now going to try and mooch off of Universal's offerings (Harry Potter, new hotel, future water park, attractions, etc.)? I mean, all WDW has to offer this summer is 7dmr and a new parade. Will they even NEED to build new attractions if Universal is bringing in the tourists?
Since millions of tourists are going to FLOOD orlando specifically to see Harry Potter, maybe WDW is thinking "Of COURSE they will want to visit WDW during their trip, it's practically mandatory when visiting Orlando." Maybe that's why they raised parking prices? Anyways, I think that's an accurate assumption to some extent. I'm sure tourists will visit MK and EP and those parks will be fine in attendance, but as for AK and DHS…? I wouldn't be surprised if their attendance drops significantly.
I'm going to assume tourists will spend 2-3 days at Universal and 2-3 days at WDW. Even split.

That was assumed in 2010 and did not really play out.

I would assume that Disney will benefit from any uptick in tourism to Orlando. The question is will there be any type of shift from those visiting where people will now spend 2-3 days at Uni versus their entire time at WDW. I can tell you right now that if we ever go back, I would strongly consider staying at Cabana Bay versus on property at WDW. That's not something I would have considered before my recent visit last week and what I'm seeing with this new Uni resort. I pulled a random weekend in October just to get an idea on pricing and their top tier room, a family suite with pool view was just over $200 per night. I just paid $183 for a King room at WDW Caribbean Beach Resort which doesn't even come close to the quality of Cabana Bay Beach, based on what little I've seen of it so far.
Record duly shows.
