As long as it doesn't involve monorails or Mike Eisner, it's all relevant here....
For the Star Wars crowd here:

No. But meet-greet-and-gropes are what people spend $9,000 on MAGICal WDW vacations according to arrested development lifestylers who wound travel across the country to see a teen dressed as Darkwing Duck ... but let's leave Mrs. Ricky's hubby out of this.
As to the coaster opening, who really knows? Disney can't even set a date for a parade ...
How in 1979, they could say EPCOT Center will open on 10/1/82 and do it ... like a different UNIverse.

Sad as it is tho that Companies like ILM take advantage of their reputation and in return get away with paying their effects guys VERY little. (You'd be shocked to hear how low the salaries are of the average Effects worker). Basically the only reason the employees put up with is so that they can say "I worked on star wars!". I know its off topic, but felt like ranting about it

It's legitimate and very, very strange. You'd think they could come up with another way of saying it.
I never loved the BRAND. I loved the creative output of the company from films to theme parks. I still do for some things.
But the BRAND? No. I am sure some of it is semantics, but anyone who visited the MK during its first 25 years or EPCOT during its first 15 realizes that those places stood for vastly different things than they do now. Now, they are simply ads for the Disney BRAND. Why the hell else would you have the idea that 'Disney should replace Maelstrom with a Frozen ride' ... I mean, how much must you fundamentally not get EPCOT to utter those words?

Well, I see you've found the gist of what I was saying the other night
Huge deal, no doubt. Not sure whether they paid too much, but it does give them considerable power in the transmission game.
At the same point, it is about content. Having an oil pipeline with no oil makes it worthless.
Thanks.
And I think that post has loads of truths in it, but it only tells part of the tale.
WDW still gets the majority of visitors from the good, old US of A. It's largest secondary market is still the UK. Have South and Central American become a larger piece of the pie? Absolutely. Sorta like how wealthy Russians and Eastern Europeans now flock to DLP (someone should tell them to go to Europa instead, right?
)It's all part of the puzzle of the Walmarting of WDW.
I think that post nails a big piece of it.
O-Town was always considered a Dolphins home market until the Jags came into existence. Indeed, the local stations started taking a lot of heat when they couldn't show Fins game because the NFL had decided they were now going to be a Jax market. I find it all amusing because all three teams are so bad that I don't know who would want to watch any of them.
I would not read anything involving any theme parks, let alone Disney's, from this smart Comcast move.
