    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    The standard has already been set. They have to provide accomodations unless it impacts their normal business operations. They now have 10s of thousands of not hundreds of thousands data points showing exactly how it has impacted their operations. Part of the reason they let this go on so long...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Yes, Genie+ purchases will increase. However, Disney can control at what times those people come back. The tripping point of this whole issue was not standby wait times. It was LL wait times. Disney does not like pictures out there of paid LL lines overflowing into the concourse. Disney can...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Genie+ will distribute the paying demand throughout the day. The current DAS implementation has no restrictions on it and is basically limitless. This means at the busiest times of the day, if too many DAS parties check-in, it will overwhelm the inventory. Recovering from that takes many hours...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    I don't think that would solve the issue. Even if it did the only way to stop you from joining another queue would be to make all guests tap in to every attraction to get into line. I don't think Disney is willing to go that far, yet. The issue is more like at 10 AM the number of DAS parties...

    News New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    It isn't 8% of park goers. The 8% have the DAS and then their total party size needs to be taken into account. A party of 4 immediatlely gets you to 32% of the park capacity. That is 1/3 of total guests in the park are attached to a DAS in some form. You should be extrapolating all numbers...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    At this point I am conviced DeSantis knows that his comments are a First Amendment violation and he is saying them to fire up his base. He is a well educated man and has to be carefully choosing his words so that Disney can make this a constituional case. This can become a rallying call duing...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Sure, they could go back and dissolve the district, but the county is on the hook for the bond payments. I am sure Disney would be thankful for the billion+ bailout from the state. I don't think voters would be thrilled when they get their tax bills.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    On numerous occasions the Supreme Court has ruled that corporations have the same rights as people. So, to say the government can try to silence a corporation using punitive measures is the equivolent of silencing an individual. If taken to higher courts, a ruling that says corporations do not...

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    The number of wanna-be or actual low-level lawyers in this thread is astounding. Do you really think you are a better lawyer then Disney's legal team? I have no doubt every argument that has come up in this thread was reviewed by multiple legal experts on Disney's legal team because that is...

    News Disney Genie digital assistant app coming to Walt Disney World

    Here is a novel idea - increase the pay for this position until you hire enough people. Increase it enough and you may not have to rely on immigration at all. Isn't that what a fair market it supposed to adjust to? I know, profits would take a hit and shareholders would revolt but wouldn't it...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    Disney (and really Apple) is building their brand to appeal to a very specific type of customer. They need a younger generation to start filling their parks and are going to err on the side of that generation. They are happy to have any customer's money, but they won't cater to them. I am sure...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    I also see this from another perspective. This ride has been very expensive to maintain for years based on the fact that water doesn't play well with the Animatronics. How many videos have been posted on YouTube showing scenes not working correctly and people complaining about a "bad show"...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    While I was initially surprised at the news, I actually have no issues about the retheming. There is no question the Walt Disney Company is doing this for money. They value the money they know taking this sort of stand will attract. If you don't agree with them taking this stand, don't go. It is...

    News UCF Peach Bowl/National Championship Parade

    I think this is exactly what happened. In all the pictures I have looked through I don't see a single one that was produced by WDW that says anything about a national championship. They acknowledged their great season, not a championship. That is a completely different narrative.

    Splash Mountain closing for annual refurbishment in January 2014

    I really hope it wasn't down so long as a cost cutting measure. I understand they fixed "under the hood" type of things, but after 2.5 months shouldn't one of the top attractions in the MK be in top form? Shouldn't they at least put out a press release trumpeting the rehab and how much better...
