FYI, link in bio to my site that tracks the cheapest Deluxe resort stays at Disney. Free notifications when something pops up for your preferred dates too.
Here's my unreleased footage of what pre-booking lightning lanes will look like within the MyDisneyExperience app starting July 24th. You can see pricing for each day in advance, every things is combined by park on to one screen, and it's very navigable.
The 4 quadrants of Disney parks criticism seem to be:
1) Unintelligible Negativity
2) Intelligible Negativity
3) Unintelligible Positivity
4) Intelligible Positivity
The first 3 are rampant across social media, but why is engagement so low on
#4
? Where is that content?
@wdwmagic
This is just poor reporting. The Axios poll article specifically says that Disney dropped 12 ranks from 2022 "after tangling with DeSantis." It's not BECAUSE of DeSantis, the poll just came out AFTER it occurred. Causation is weak, so don't act like this is the reason.
@ScottGustin
@LenTesta
could be a decent data point to plug into crowd calendar tracking. A $15 day could represent low crowds across all 4 parks vs a $22 day over something like President's Day weekend. I assume HS & MK weigh more heavily in their pricing structure though.

Great question. There's a lot here and I have not specifically looked for DAS related things. If I find anything, I will share.
@DisneyFoodBlog
I understand that blogs need content to thrive, but this article is just flat out misleading. Steve has been very clear about not wanting to open a 3rd location similar to Gideon's or at East End Market and has said many times that the 2 locations are already a handful.

I have no affiliation with the group claiming responsibility for the breach, nor the employee suspected of inadvertently providing access to the group.
So stoked for Ministry of Magic at Epic Universe. My brain is so overwhelmed with excitement that it can't even comprehend or pronounce any of the shops or restaurants.
@LenTesta
As revenge travel finally cools, I'm expecting Tron to not open until President's Day weekend at the earliest but no later than when 2024 packages are released. Bob will need that early 2023 boost in bookings to help offset the loss of the revenge travel the parks saw in 2022.

We're not on the same page. I agree that all of these things are valid criticisms & they've done more harm than good. I disagree that they've ONLY done harm. And I think painting a picture of negativity or of unintelligible positivity weakens attempts at constructive feedback.
@disneyglimpses
There's much more to negatively criticize than praise, for sure, but there are positives. Multiple attractions added since 2019, and despite Genie+ allegedly extending standby wait times, they're actually lower now than in 2019. So you have more attractions with shorter waits.

@DisneyDishPod
This is great, the only thing I'd love to see added is the avg guest thruput per hour. The max is helpful, but if Carousel of Progress doesn't fill up each time(it doesn't) then the sq ft per guest/hr isn't super useful. Are there numbers for each ride's avg guests per hr?
FYI: Disney failed to update the available attractions list before go-live this morning with the new Lightning Lane booking experience. Peter Pan's Flight(under refurb) and character Meet & Greets are shown on the pre-purchase page. A terrible oversight

Don't forget that most leagues use total points as a tiebreaker for the playoffs. So if standings are close, you may want to risk starting him anyway for more points
XFL league-wide XP conv. rates halfway thru season:
1pt - 41.0%
2pt - 38.3%
3pt - 30.8%
The only teams with successful 3pt attempts are HOU, LA, & DAL. Coincidentally, also the 3 most pass heavy teams. Stats source:

It's not b/c of a late opening, it's b/c they just couldn't get a rez 3 times since July to be eligible. Michelin agents don't have the 60 day window like most people and they likely don't use rez finder tools, so since they can't name drop, getting 3 rez is impossible

@Bedsyboo
Something I've not seen discussed is Chapek's involvement. When it was clear how disliked Chapek was, the board likely pushed Iger to come back to stave off a vote that would've likely been in favor of Trian. Hate him or love him, Trian's push was huge to get him out of CEO
@countvonroo
The odds are already known for this. When you click to approach Snowy you roll a dice between 1 and 11. Only 18% of the time you blasted. Then an additional roll occurs where you have a 2 out of 1500 chance(less than a tenth of a percent) of getting the avatar. So, very unlikely

The last message in this channel was from back in March of this year & is dedicated to "inspiring those in the Project Zero competition." It's a recycling initiative with tips about recycling. One employee wanted to know where they could recycle the box from their Cheetos Pizza.
@bluekittygrl
Maybe consider looking through my website ? It lists all of the available DVC Deluxe Resort reservations currently available across the internet. You can put in any dates you're interested in or set up alerts to be notified if something you want pops up
@LenTesta
Chapek sees this as a weakness & the way to rebuild market credibility is growth, but timing is important. With no "significant" additions coming until Moana, this leaves a gaping hole in expected quarterly results.

There must be something up with the Wookie Cookie's ingredient supply chain because I experienced this back in 2022 as well. In Feb '22 I got the delicious version of the Wookie Cookie(right), but 4 months later in June I got this dry, lesser version(left).

I can verify any of my claims upon request with screenshots of json files from the leak, but to my own discredit, anyone could just simply type up a txt doc in the format of a json file. Shortly I will release a dictionary of file names to Slack channel names for easy checking.

One final(?) update here: I saw rpilocator's notification about Mouser having the RPi4 8GB in stock and placed a new order that went through. Checked my previous order as mentioned above and now it's showing as Backordered, but with a date now of 19-Jan-23

"purpose": "Slack room is for investigation into impacts seen on Reedy Creek Devices" It looks like it's just a short back and forth from mid April 2020 with a dev issue they had.
@LenTesta
Hello again, Len! I'm a hobbyist in security analysis & can't help but mention 1 thing missing from the TRON discussion: Qrtly & Yrly fiscal result timelines. For 5 years from 2015 to 2020 the stock price had been roughly flat during a time the S&P500 rose nearly 50%.

Parks/DPEP rev won't cut it during this earnings call. Wait times/attendance has been trending down significantly since Christmas. Transitioning from free FastPass to Genie+ was meant to save them, here's the leaked #'s from their recent hack
@LenTesta
Thing is, DIS doesn't NEED Tron to open in the Fall/Winter at all with GotG and travel plans already booked. It's the post-President's day lull they're going to need to fill and since they don't release packages that early, I expect a decision to be made about opening...
