D23 Predictions

[lockedoutlogic]

There's a "sample" seat out in front of Expedition Everest as well so that larger guests can see if they can fit on that ride. It doesn't mean there is a "problem". Not every thrill ride can accommodate every body type. Rides with restraint systems have to have an outer limit of what shape of body they can restrain. The cast members working FOP have gotten much better with experience in helping larger guests position themselves properly so that they have a better chance of getting the restraints to lock into place, but obviously not everyone will be able to fit.

At six flags...no...

But when you say that you're for "children of all ages and sizes"...it's a rub.

I'm all for some rides that are for some audiences...those types get bored immediately...

But they are rather cowardly on that in recent years...selling "I conquered the mine train" t shirts

No stream unfortunately. I post up to the minute updates tho.

Is anyone from the Dis unplugged podcast team going?


I guessing that the new name of Disney's Hollywood Studios will be revealed. I am assuming this is still going to happen; haven't read any rumors regarding the name change recently.

Craig and Ryno I believe. Not sure if Pete, John or Kevin are going. Michael Bowling and most of the Disneyland team will be there.

If that's the biggest "reveal"...we gonna have a lot to talk about in the aftermath

I still have to edit myself from saying "MGM".

I don't think they announce the Star Wars Hotel yet ... definitely something on the Gondolas though - and I guess an update on CBR with it (maybe the official announcement that DVC is coming there) and then related to that - perhaps maybe even that they are doing away with "Deluxe" Moderate" "Value" for resort classifications

Sorry for another stupid question - but could you point me to anything that they are changing the hotel classifications? I remember seeing it alluded to here, but I was wondering about the underlying supporting documentation? I mean, it makes sense and maybe that's all it is, but I was wondering if any articles, etc., might have referenced this? Anyone want to free hand speculate?

Predicting an announcement regarding a proper fix for the yeti....

A man can dream, right?

On top of what has already been said I hope to hear about club 33 at WDW and possible other expansions to Disneyland (hopefully Fantasyland)

They did an incredible job last year (think it was last year?) covering this so always worthwhile to watch.

Food gets good reviews despite being weird.

This isn't directed at YOU rteetz, but isn't that kind of food available just like anywhere anymore? I mean the bowl concept has been around forever, and bao pork buns are available at your regular asian places - although making them cheeseburger and curry is kinda questionable. Come on WDW, we need more interesting food! If people say its weird we're going to get more nuggets and hot dogs (shudders).

Do you just sit and tweet or something? That's really cool that you do that though, thank you!

No updates here. As soon as news comes out they'll be posted on the D23 thread.

I thought the same thing but with a twist. The cheeseburger bao pork bun has been hyped as tasting just like a McD's cheeseburger. I love my value menu cheeseburger. Nothing wrong with that. But it sure isn't priced as a value burger in Pandora. I'm always hoping for better from WDW. Looks like the McD's reference has been embraced to try to 'normalize' the entree. If the cheeseburger bao fails, and we should know within 6 months or so, then chicken nuggets won't be far behind.

I did live tweet/fb updates in 2015. Might do a live feed here. I'll be at all mainstage panels.

I'll be watching that then! But, you do a great job of keeping this update regardless, so still, thank you!

But isn't that telling that food which isn't *that* out there is deemed "weird" by a good chunk of the audience. And if you recall when Skippers Canteen opened people were really doing how "weird" the food was and attendance was low and the food there isn't that strange either (some just has different names)

I don't think there is anything concrete in writing but something that has been expressed by insiders here and elsewhere that it was something they (Disney) was considering even before the gondola

Come on...no risk, no reward...

Like the people who used to slip out of the old seatbelt seat on tower of terror

That sounds amazing. I'm embarrassed to say that until recently I didn't know it was a FAN thing that I could go to. I thought it was industry fancy pants people. What's the event like? It looks like its not too late if I decided I wanted to join up?

ETA: Nevermind, but very excited to see/hear all about this!

Saturday and three day passes are sold out. You could buy Friday and Sunday single day passes.
