Spirited Lessons of the Day:
WDW fans are so hungry for a new parade that they'll go ape-blank over a few tidbits shown to media (and social media whores). It's from Davison, so I expect that it will be damn good. But a few realities to ponder: it likely will take the Disney lawyers all of a few weeks to decide the dragon can't have a fire effect (if it doesn't simply break after they film the promo material) and it has to be great because they've probably budgeted it to play until at least 2021.
WDW fans really care about a talking trash can while the rest of the resort falls into one.
General Hospital may be the best written hour of TV that ABC puts on right now ... but Resurrection sure has my attention. How about you, Red?
It sure seems like TDR handles snow events of substance much better than Atlanta handles a dusting.
Loyalty to an airline or seeking status today is largely a losing proposition beyond not having to pay for extras ... you know like luggage or a seat with a window or on an aisle. Glad I had status when it actually meant something.
This summer is going to be brutal in Orlando, but not just the heat and humidity (which will be worse than ever for WDW guests waiting in artificially long lines for attractions that never had them and reservation kiosks to make them). No, listening to Disney fans laughably claim they still have the best product purely because of size and number of parks and timeshare resorts. Maybe I should head back to Germany.
I get that the crazy California state laws requiring workers to be protected in every eventuality is wreaking havoc with Disney's ability to plot DLR operations. But they are still doing a poor job of communicating what will be open to the public and when to trap guests (not me, I'm going no matter) who might cancel or put off visits.
If you think the Dwarfs kiddie coaster is delayed (and it is), then you haven't seen nothing because there is a possibility that DL's BTMRR will remain closed for a lot longer than March or April.
The folks at NBC really should have considered Bob Costas' eye problem as a sign of trouble in Sochi and got out of there. I just can't watch ... his eye or the coverage.
Kudos to Michael Sam for being the first gay football player in history (OK, let's all have a great laugh at that one!) ... but the first time a team official or player talks about his sexuality being a 'distraction' in not selecting him let's realize what that is code for.
Remember when Dubai was going to have Busch Gardens, Sea World, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, Universal Studios, Six Flags and Marvel theme parks? Yeah, me too.
