TWDC has surpassed 5 billion in movie sales this year

http://www.laughingplace.com/w/news/2015/12/21/disney-makes-5-billion-box-office-2015/

As I've said before, it's been an insane year for the Walt Disney Company. An insane year for Hollywood overall, in fact... Which only means Hollywood has noticed that reboots, remakes, sequels and prequels work fantastically well... Oh well, Twilight reboot, here we come.

Well it's pretty much his job to say that whether he believes it or not.

I wish people would quit referring to it if he Adventurers Club! It only brings up bad memories of what was and is now lost.

Focus on millenials? There's a punchline there.

This offer is so vague. It sounds like you can't do it until you're there? No word on how big the discount or if it's available at all resorts. Definitely doesn't seem like something you can count on being available.

Yes it's an offer being given once your there can't be booked prior. It's on a flyer in the rooms.

What? They haven't started yet? Damn... I wonder if Cameron is a little over-confident regarding the ''guaranteed'' success of the sequel.

Sounds like quite a few flight changes at short notice. Don't think it will take.

My thoughts exactly. In fact, I'd be more than a little frustrated/irritated to get this AFTER making my travel plans.

I have a few friends at the parks right now. They're saying the crowds are much lower than previous Christmas seasons. This a way to fill a few more rooms? Didn't meet projections?

Might work out great for locals or those who are close enough to drive...but to have to try change air reservations at $200 (or more) each, if there is availability...that might not work as well. Wish I was closer!

The punchline being Millenials don't actually watch TV.
