    2 thumbs down for new “Turning Red” movie

    There is no controversy, it's just not a good movie by Pixar standards. Agree, it is like the other zillion movies out there. Great for a streaming service and sell some merch. not a Pixar classic. Snow White came out in 1937. Is there any other 1930s animation you like better? I'm guessing...

    2 thumbs down for new “Turning Red” movie

    Wow, this movie is very disappointing for a Pixar film. I see why they released it straight to the streaming service. It's ok for a streaming service movie. I would put it in the bottom 3 movies for Pixar too. Those that liked it, are you putting it in the same league as Toy Story, Monsters...

    If Florida repeals "The Reedy Creek Improvement Charter", how does that change Disney going forward?

    A main reason Reedy Creek Improvement District was set up in Florida was to avoid all the problems the California Parks have with the local Anaheim government. It's the approval process. The Anaheim city council actually has veto power over a lot of things Disney can do in Anaheim. In Florida...

    $1 Billion Plus Redevelopment of 1100 Acre Resort Bordering Walt Disney World

    I think that is a different property. If you look at the Evermore Resort website, if you travel East on Vista Blvd from Golden Oaks, It runs right into it. Across the street from the Cast Member Softball field. Map below...

    $1 Billion Plus Redevelopment of 1100 Acre Resort Bordering Walt Disney World

    Interesting to see the $1 Billion Plus redevelopment of Villas of Grand Cypress. It's up by Golden Oaks. I'm sure they were thrilled to hear Magical Express to the Disney "Bubble" was ending. More options for guests will keep Disney on their toes. It is as close to Magic Kingdom as a lot of...

    Train could pass though Disney World

    I remember this exact discussion in 1998 and every year since. There was even a statewide vote that approved the bullet train in the early 2000s. The Federal Government even offered Billions to help build it but Florida refused the money because the costs to run it would be so costly. BUT...

    Legendary Disney Imagineer Joe Rohde Retiring

    He probably saw the new budgets for current and future projects and said "I'm Done". He doesn't want to end with a Paul Pressler project as his swan song.

    Disney Q4 and Full Year Earnings for 2020

    Direct to consumer division lost $2.8 billion for the fiscal year. Almost $38 per Disney+ subscriber. They can make that up pretty quick if they can keep growing subscribers this fast. And price increases will be coming when the content stream gets better. That division lost $580 million this...

    Disney buying AMC?

    I'm sure Disney REALLY wants the theater industry to continue. Theatrical releases are very profitable for Disney and probable required to keep tentpole production budgets anywhere close to where they are. You can't spend $300 million for a streaming Avengers movie. You get both now (theaters...

    Disney buying AMC?

    EXACTLY! A Disney branded Theater would be a gold mine! When the Pandemic is over, people will want to go back and enjoy the Theater experience. Disney needs the Theater model to make the big budget Blockbuster (Marvel/Star Wars/Princess) movie model work. If they own the theaters, they can...

    Any idea when we can buy WDW annual passes?

    Florida/Annual Passholders have always been to "Fill in the Gaps" when the Parks aren't full. Typical APs spend less the more often they go. With limited capacity now, they want the "Big Spenders" to get first dibs on the limited slots. Remember, It's always about the money.

    Reflections: A Disney Lakeside Resort

    Permits are cheap. Could be for the stables or some infrastructure. If Rivera DVC really has an abundance of inventory to sell, why would they spend all that money on a resort to add more inventory? Especially right now with the limited income. Unless Rivera is selling better then expected.
