I have to be honest. After never even considering doing these things, the longer I stand in lines, the more and more these things start to seem worth it.

Yup. We like EMM and the like. Worth it for us to save time in line and preserve FPs for other attractions. I’m 100% ok with being “part of the problem”.

While watching him commentate the Super Bowl the other day, that’s all I could think about, as well as, hoping the Eagles won! Fly Eagles Fly!

I secretly wish ESPN would do a 30 for 30 on it.

For those that watched the Olympic Opening Ceremonies tonight 1200 Intel Starlight Drones were used during the show. These are the same type of drones that were used at Disney Springs.

That was pretty awesome. If Disney incorporated something like that into Illuminations, it could be very cool!

Disney can transport all of these items across the pacific, why can't they transport these items to Orlando for a D23 expo at WDW?

Wonder if the 2021 expo will be at WDW given that's the 50th anniversary year.

D23 Expo Anaheim is bigger. They have Archives exhibits, Imagineering, every studio, etc. All of those Disney related things are located in California. Maybe 2021 but I'm not sure I think Anaheim just makes sense.

Agreed and they host the Destination D event in the non D23 Expo years at WDW.
