But they could simply make and sell more of the souvenirs if all they cared about was the park experience of people wanting to buy certain items. The key word here is "limited edition". This looks more like Disney is trying to attract more guests with a (fake) scarcity of certain souvenirs...

I'm not sure why Disney is so much against this practice. Is it because as a matter of principle they can't stand the fact that someone, somehow, is making money off "their" merchandise? Or is it because the limited-edition merchandise is being offered as an inducement or magnet to attract...

It's rules for water testing, not water treatment. But this is a farming problem, not a problem made in Washington. Farmers are pretty messed up if they're so careless about their customers' life and death that they irrigate their crops with water contaminated by cattle manure, and (apparently)...

I'm on the fence ... it's a classic ride and even if they never touched it I would still do it multiple times on every trip. But it could be so much better with more comfortable vehicles, better track and all kinds of visual and sound/music effects. Instead of 2 fairly tiny coasters they could...

They could have cut 25% of the days on which there are EMH and made the same savings ... and at least it would be an honest cut ... or "right sizing" or whatever they want to call it. It's dishonest to call it "EMH" where H stands for "hour". Exactly the same as a when a potato chip company...

More and more, I feel out of step with Disney and their theme park products. What my family loves about WDW ... the rides, the ambiance, the music, live entertainment and the (formerly) easy, casual, nearly plan-less way of booking trips and touring the parks ... makes me feel like I'm a "bad...

Frozen pizza ... no loss. Hope they replace it with something a lot more imaginative and original.

Two years plus is a shockingly long time for a signature attraction, but it's been a long time since the company has shown any concern for Epcot's overall theme and image ... other than as a kind of drinking and dining zone with synergistic promotional rides. Stand by for a 6-minute long...

The Stitch theaters are small and oddly shaped and they're placed in the center of a building that is not easily accessible by construction equipment. It's fenced in by Cosmic Ray's, Mickey's Star Traders etc. and the People Mover. The theaters are round, and added together have about 1/2 the...

Those are the things that people WISH their municipal government would concentrate on. Sadly, in my municipality they also waste many, many millions of dollars on what are can only be described as boondoggles. Extremely wasteful things that I would describe as "cadillac" and "taj mahal" projects...

The spark behind the NYT article was whether the municipality should be giving Disney a tax break. Or, if it should use variable tax rates to compel Disney to do things that the voters and politicians are in favor of. That's an interesting issue. On the one hand, a fair tax rate makes for a...

Just wait 'til pot is legalized ...

Very interesting! But it is socialist to insist that intellect ... meaning people's thoughts and expressions ... can be "owned". It is socialistic for an authority to insist that it can arbitrate, regulate and punish someone's thoughts and expressions based on supposed "ownership" tied to...

VPN encryption? LOL probably also illegal in EU.

I have no sympathy for Disney in this case. Consider the term "intellectual property". It says that "intellect" ... meaning your thoughts ... can be someone else's property. There is no practical or moral basis for anything that goes under that title. If 100-year or perpetual copyright was...

Quite so. The only form of recycling that makes any economic or environmental sense is aluminum because of the extremely high cost of the energy required to smelt from aluminum ore. And recycling other forms of metal to some degree, depending on various factors. But aluminum is the big one...

Thumbs up on the elaborate dark ride! Can't wait. Hope the AAs work consistently :rotfl: And wikipedia says Tron is the "fastest Disney roller coaster" at 60 mph. With no inversions or (I assume) other gut-wrenching or neck-breaking features. Gotta like that.

I see that work is proceeding on the new coaster (saw a couple of postings on social media about construction/closing the railroad). Great addition ... and is it just me, or does Magic Kingdom always seem to get the best stuff and the best upgrades? I know that Star Wars land is a Really Big...

An observation: do you notice when this Disney exec says, "he did appreciate guests like us had this sense of connection and nostalgia" ... that these guys never talk about THEIR connection and THEIR nostalgia? Or mention that, even if they weren't a long-time Disney fan and employee...

Saw this post on instagram yesterday. Apparently they had an interesting response from Disney. https://www.instagram.com/p/BmRisEnhBkR/ "Kinda off" ....
