Any specific recommendations?
Also given the thread, I'm pouring one out for Spamalot. That cast had so much fun and was so talented that I could watch them do that show a dozen times if it stayed up.
I'm always down for more CFTBL.
Interesting partnership where Robert Kirkman also worked also helped with making Renfield, so the working relationship is already there.
VR video on YouTube to promote HHN.
Video
Edit: This is a really nifty way to introduce HHN and the icon as well as show off a couple of the sets. I absolutely loved the 5 min video and if they have the cameras already in the houses, I really hope they did runs to show off after the event is...

"In addition to the Epic park, Universal will be opening a kids’ theme park in Texas in 2026 and a Halloween horror experience in Las Vegas in 2025. The kids’ theme park is meant to target...

Biggest recommendations is to use mobile order whenever possible. That saved us a lot of waits when getting snacks.
Things I wouldn’t miss out beyond the normal stuff would be going to Lamplight Lounge at DCA. I loved their lobster nachos, but also their potato skins...
I’m annoyed that the parks barely had anything concrete to announce but it just dawned on me why nothing got the green light:
Hulu.
They’re stuck starting the valuation and buyback process and it’s going to be billions going out of Disney’s balance sheet, so they’re just priming the pump for...
I saw this concept art do the rounds a couple years ago, but if they did a Trader Sam's quality bar or the Tip Top Club, I'd spend way too much money to hang out there. He even had designs in mind for souvenir mugs!

I feel like Indiana Jones has been rumored for ages at Animal Kingdom. They're just pushing already heard rumors at this point.
They're not having much come out for the next few years while EU opens up. It's mindblowing to me.
I got the molded HHN 2021 Icon coffee mug at the airport store after spending 5 days at nearly every shop on property. That was the one piece of merch I really wanted to get, and lo and behold it was at the airport shop on our way out, and I even got to use my passholder discount!
It was the...
They do not deserve sympathy and WBD of all the studios since their merger, hasn't been able to generate much profits at all. Last quarter they lost over 1.2 billion. Now this is the latest excuse they have for investors.

This is what you get when a content company stops making content. I hope this will prompt them to neogotiate to get things made now vs. trying to outsource jobs to AI in the future.
They're buckling up for a ride of a delay they're causing. With AMC's cash burn, I'm concerned how long it'll last if this strike lasts and they get A-List subscribers to cancel plus slow movie months. I wouldn't be surprised if movies start becoming more "leggy" as there's less things to push...
Perhaps it's going to also happen during the daytime so regular park guest can take it in as well as HHN guests. There also could be some stipulation about tying it directly to HHN marketing.
