Per WDW Magic, Pirates of the Caribbean iconic auction scene to be updated with new role for the redhead

Someone please tell me this is a joke. I'm not saying improvements, alterations, and upgrades are not needed but this goes beyond that. This changes the fabric of the ride. What were pirates? They were violent. They did bad things. History is full of bad things and people. I am not suggesting to embrace those people or things but you can't ignore them either. It is not like the ride is extreme but they clearly want to make it extra G rated.

I'd call it "extra PC" rated.

Sorry, this is my "go-to" thread and is the direct bookmark on my phone. I did not see it mentioned here. It seems I am a little late to the party.

It started here but I moved it to a new thread since it's such a big discussion.

TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards Rank Universal's Islands of Adventure #1

Is that the norm? For Disney to only have 1 in the top 5 (with MK at 3)?

I'd have to look at last years. I know Discovery Cove usually ranks high and has been ranked 1 before. Islands is usually always up there too.

Apparently it was the same last year.

If the prices weren't so outrageous I would own half of this. $50 for a keyring? $40 for scarf that isn't silk? And the purses are going for Dooney & Bourke prices, at least those are leather, how disappointing.

 

[jbeyes]

I'm super curious what that TripAdvisor list will look like in 5 years or so!

 

[Fantasia79]

Only positives can come from that list. People decide to go to Universal and/or Disney adds more stuff.

 

[ghoulardi]

Agreed!

Yeah from what I've been seeing on multiple threads people are honestly wondering if the crowd pendulum is starting to swing towards lower crowds in parts of summer with the shift going towards those crowds going in fall.

No doubt the pendulum is shifting towards fall. What I find interesting Disney has emailed me three times in two weeks "Enchanted Escape" offer giving a measly 25% off. If I'm going to move from cool fall weather to sun scorched skin drenched high humidity they really need to cough up a better offer. Nope, can't touch this!

 

[skier_pete]

It's probably appropriate. While I don't think IOA is a better park than MK, i can see the appeal to the masses there. And honestly Disney's other 3 parks don't belong high up on the list. Personally I'm surprised Epcot and AK rate higher than Disneyland. (And that DCA also rates higher than Disneyland - because once you get past Carsland and World of Color, it isn't even close.)

Actually looking closer - they use "Quality and Quantity" which explains why DLR is lower.

I really like the design of the White Rabbit if this was a crossbody bag I’d purchase it. This card case isn’t even RDIF for $90 bucks it should be.


Designer silk scarves are more expensive like $200+
