This was a solid convo. We discuss the state of healthcare in the U.S. and
@albinopigeon
brings up comparison of the UK model he has in Northern Ireland. We cover quite a bit and will 100% have her back on in the future.
For those that missed it. Just to get to your DAS interview, you have to agree to not participate in a class action lawsuit. It’s in the Terms & Conditions you agree to before you talk to anyone. They don’t try to stop you from filing your own, but the optics alone….
I have been so lucky to talk to the amazing Alicia about this park for so long. I can’t believe how close we are getting. I am so grateful she chooses my dumbass to chat with about these things & anyone of you that listens.
Just feeling so excited & grateful in this moment.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my Disney nostalgia. Is it just me, or has the optimistic future sorta vibe is dead? I used to love that feeling. It’s probably partly why I loved EPCOT so much as a kid.
Thoughts?
Disney: We could potentially, build some stuff. Look we have pictures to show you!
Universal: What? Oh that’s nothing. Just ignore that. Rumors? Noooo those aren’t true.
Pfft it’s just a new churro stand. Seriously.
@ScottGustin
I like this part. Hahaha
“We lose control over everything other than to maintain the roads and maintain the infrastructure,” one board member said.
I told her since I started the podcast as a guest, Alicia you’re a rockstar. She works so hard at what she doe, is ridiculously intelligent & good at the journalism she chooses. I am beyond happy for her to have finally reached this incredible point. Thanks to your support.
Happy Birthday to our fearless leader. The Orlando Oracle, the Permit Princess, the rodent cult leader, and one of the sweetest humans I know.
@AliciaStella
It seriously warms my heart to see so many out there making sure Alicia gets the credit she deserves for breaking news. People make mistakes, but I’m still app to see ya all folks getting her back.
“Protect permit princess and her work at all cost.“
Let me be 100% clear. If you are not a straight, white, Christian, cis gendered male. They are coming for you. Period.
Alicia and I have been saying it for a while now. An attack on any Human Rights, is an attack on all Human Rights.
The Nazi flag stands for the worst of what mankind is capable of. It has no place in our society.
These protests have been going on for weeks, and demonstrators are upset at Disney for being “woke.” They have called for the death of members of the LGBTQ community.
It is scary.
“We could just use IBCCES like a bunch of other companies. Makes it easier for our staff and visitors.”
“Nah. That sounds too easy. Make them call and talk to us. We need them to have more pre vacation steps.”
- Disney meeting. Probably.

Darkmoor's hottest new club is the Burning Blade! This place has got everything: a windmill that's always on fire, pretzels and beer, giant rotating gears, and that thing where monster hunters pester patrons while they dine to show off their trophies.

Cool. Now put the best parts of Starcruiser in Galaxy’s Edge where they belonged in the first place. Including the awesomely talented cast who worked so hard to bring it all to life.
Thanks.
In the Orlando theme parks, what is the worst attraction replacement in your opinion?
I’ll go first: both Imagination Pavillion replacements are far worse than the original. Even outdated as it was.
I just got laid off from Twitter this morning with no notice. I was the lead software engineer responsible for the feature that keeps the same 6 people pretending they know nothing about Epic Universe on your feed when you follow 1000s.
@UniversalORL
these Thursday nights at Red Coconut are so much fun. Thank you so much for opening this up for folks to have somewhere safe, fun, and inclusive. We ALL belong.

Hope everyone that can goes out to the Rainbow Coconut Club tonight at

Y’all are just making my brain explode. Thank you so much.
Let’s keep going. Let’s break right on through that $20k. Let’s see what we can actually get to this year!
Not sure if you heard, as part of our Stop Hate fundraiser this year.
Some friends & I are going to play some live DnD. You can interact, so I expect hilarious total & utter chaos.
June 24th. 3pm, est. more info soon.
Keep your eyes on the Park Stop YouTube channel for now!
@carlyewisel
I think in this case, Chapek carries a fair share of the blame. But it’s true, Josh should also be getting tossed into the mix when it comes to parks issues. 100% without a doubt
If you still back the Anti-Disney side, maybe you should take a second and realize who your teammates are…
…In the immortal words of Jello Biafra
“Nazi Punks, Fuck Off”
So I need to get something off of my chest. Though I can understand the “late night drunken snack” aspect. Pizza fries were kinda underwhelming after all of the hype. I said what I said. Feel free to @ me.
Probably won’t be riding Reign of Kong anymore, unless they bring 3D back.

First screen is absolutely the worst

Odd blurring of Rexes during 360
Action falls flat, literally
I’m really disappointed.
Ok there is a growing group of folks talking to me or commenting so let’s just make this real.
When the bar on the rooftop of Helios opens. We will all run up there for a drink opening day.
Who is in?
If you don’t see the blatant signs of fascist authoritarianism staring you right in the face, you’re not paying attention. Deputizing private citizens to turn on others-neighbors, friends, family, etc. Fuck you.
BREAKING: Oklahoma's governor just signed into law a bill that bans abortion entirely, effective immediately.
This ban deputizes private citizens to act as bounty hunters and sue friends, family, and anyone else assisting someone in getting an abortion.
To counter some of the negativity out there today, I'd like to formally announce the return of the STOP HATE Fundraiser in 2024, benefiting The Trevor Project.
Donations are open, but art, auctions, & prizes start in June. More details in the coming days!
This is how incredible you all are. This is insanity. It’s not even been a full day.
Thank you!!
Moar moar moar. Let’s get them some more to have resources to help more people!!
Ok

let’s see a Peacock show about HHN Lore based on Mr Shuster here and the “case files”. Anyone else got a pitch to bring HHN lore to the small screen? Do you even want to watch something like this?

Hottake. All IP all of the time isn’t as interesting or as exciting as occasionally doing something 100% original in the parks.
When it comes to DAK, I don’t need IP. Theme to an area or a country. That’s enough “IP” for me.
@UniversalORL
exactly how much outcry do you need from us before you open the HHN food & bev spots during the day so we can show up and have a little haunted food & brew fest during the day as well?
Uhm asking for a friend, or whatever the kids say these days.
