    Ahsoka (Disney+)

    I thought it was a great 3 episodes so far. I'll give you ep 1 and ep 2 could have been a few minutes shorter each, but they had their purpose. Tons of fan service and Easter eggs for the folks that have seen Rebels, and some character introductions for those that haven't. Ep 3 was good start...

    The Mandalorian

    I liked this episode the best of the season so far. Grogu is starting to develop into his own character with his own story line, evolving form cute sidekick and meme generator. Bo actually turned to Din and asked for help, she has been fully humbled and brought to the bottom. The success of the...

    Roundup Rodeo BBQ Restaurant - Toy Story Land

    Yep, based on this video I just added this to our itinerary for our fall trip. Specifically because my 3 year old will absolutely love it.

    The Mandalorian

    Bingo, and her ease and quickness with the darksaber compared to Din's difficulty shows that she is a much better owner, probably the rightful owner. I'm betting this season's climax will be Bo-Katan forcing Din into a fight so she can get the darksaber. Possibly by threatening Grogu.

    Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

    I deal with it all the time. All it takes is a few key residents to be vocal, often times they speak for a few more folks than attend the meetings, but not the majority. They key to all of it is who votes. I'm dealing with a project now that is hung up in rezoning due to NIMBY's. They make up a...

    Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

    As much as I hate to say it, I don't see any way to open a new park without a Disneyesque reservation system for at least the first few months. Last thing you want is bad press because your park hit capacity at 9AM with a line of cars still on I-4.

    Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

    My thoughts exactly. At this price point, to have to LARP the whole time, I'm out. But give me an 11AM check in, 12:30 lunch briefing, afternoon of lightsabers and flight deck training, then a dinner show, and an overnight stay, and I'm in at a significant price point. And I don't believe I'm in...

    Reedy Creek Improvement District

    I wouldn't read too much into a single cherry picked sub section of state ordinance, there may be another section on the next page which allows the state to dissolve any district which does ______________ that they are standing on. Lawyers will undoubtedly sue and it may or may not stand. If it...

    Fantastic Beasts: Secrets Of Dumbledore

    Saw this movie over the weekend. I'd give it a 3.5-4.0/5. Very well paced for me, humorous at times which was a little surprising, lots of character building and setup for something more to come. Really deepens Grindelwald's stance on things and sets up the final faceoff we all know is coming...

    Theatrical Future/PVOD Thread

    I think its got to do with the spectacle for most people. A drama, comedy, or thriller can still make the emotional connection on the small screen. But the large scale visuals of Dune, a Marvel Movie, or even Mortal Kombat are lost on the small screen. I think Dune is a great example, having...

    Taking Uber from MCO

    I've had good luck with Uber. Dont remember the exact rate, but it seemed pretty reasonable. If I remember it was 4 or 5 PM on a Friday.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    More proof that Filoni should drive the Star Wars story lines from this point forward. I care more about Wrecker, Omega, Dume, and the rest of the Bad Batch than I do about any of the new Characters in films 7-9.

    Universal Orlando Resort to Epic Universe Transportation News & Speculation

    If you gave me the option of an 8 hour car ride with kids, stopping every 100-150 miles for a bathroom break, or a 10 hour train ride with freedom of movement. I'm taking the train all day. But to your point, we are still taking the vacation and spending the money regardless, but a train would...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    6AM? I wish we could get inspections at 6AM. Thats the most impressive thing about this project so far, they can get an inspector there before sunrise.

    Rise of the Resistance - Boarding Passes/Uptimes (DHS)

    We were there on 12/5/2020. Got boarding group 13 from our room at UOR and figured that we could get in ROTR before lunch leaving all afternoon open. When we got to the park they weren't boarding any groups at all, TM's were out front talking to guest. We called it quits and got back to Royal...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney+)

    I could see an 8-episode season of Cody chasing Obi-Wan down, throwing the best the empire has after him. Then final 2 episodes Obi-Wan finally faces Cody and either captures him and removes the Order 66 chip, or is faced with killing him. They explored this in the last few episodes of Clone...

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    Literally sat on the knee wall in Alicia's photo this past weekend and it felt just fine for JP. Also walking through that area you have to physically move your head up to notice the castle, everything in your normal walking vision area feels JP. It'll be even better when the vegetation fills out.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    Seeing that launch made the think of how much Kinetic energy this thing will add to that part of the park.

    Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

    This should be a catalyst to push theatres in a new direction, as someone mentioned earlier they are selling less and less tickets each year. The current industry model is a dead man walking. I really believe that the new theatre experience will be something similar to Alamo. Smaller, better...

    Effects of Coronavirus (COVID-19) On Entertainment & Tourism Industry

    Empty for us, our season typically comes to an abrupt halt after Labor Day, but bookings continued into early October this year. However the 14-day plus booking numbers for the region are tracking a few percentage points ahead of last year's numbers. Its hard for us to compete in the off season...
