Surprised it’s taken this long for an Indian place to get put in. Hopefully it’s good, I don’t know much about the chef. I’ll give it a shot if it’s open by HHN or when I’m there in Dec for the OI meet-up

Wondering where this will be located if it's going to be open as soon as later this year. It's obviously gotta be at a pre-existing location and the only vacant restaurant I can think of is the old Wolfgang Puck Express. I guess maybe there's the possibility that part of the NBA Experience is turned into a restaurant though?

The Wolfgang Puck makes the most sense for a quick turnaround. I could totally see this being a fast casual concept like Cava or a Pei Wei which would fit that footprint pretty well

Clever way to combat against Universal's new nighttime show I guess and also beat them to the punch in announcing.

Beyond that though, imo, a drone show should be nightly at Disney Springs. Doesn't cost nearly as much to run as fireworks do to purchase and shoot off and it gives people at Disney Springs something to look forward to later in the night.

Great way to keep people out at your stores, restaurants and bars later into the evening, too.

Yup. People do tend to stay late, but i'm sure bookings tend to slow down later on at night. Something like this will keep people milling around waiting before and after and they're going to need to find something to do before the drone show so maybe a later dinner then they otherwise would've had or make a stop at a bar that they otherwise may not have.

Insane power move by Disney.
It’s a free easily accessible entertainment option, there aren’t a whole lot of those.

Yeah, as someone who hasn't had a Disney AP since October, i'm definitely going to make an effort to go and see this at Disney Springs. I do plan on getting a Disney AP again soon, but i've just sort of felt I have no reason and didn't want to renew an AP only to waste months on said AP. May get one next month with Tiana close to opening.

Ah yes, the insane power move of adding a drone show to an already crowded, and free, Disney Springs. Keep dong this brilliant gambits.

Meanwhile at the actual parks..... whomp-whomp

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Your move Universal

While I would have loved the Electrical Sky Parade to play in MK, DS is really their only option. Luminious is new and DHS has no issues keeping people late for Fantasmic. DAK would have been the other option, but they probably don't want to operate the park late as there's just not enough to keep guests late.

They had a drone show there in 2016.

Yes, for a month and as a test for intel before they used drones during the Super Bowl half time show. A daily summer show is a bit more of a “real” thing.

Free is free.
Don’t see an issue here.

Agreed, I don't see how anyone can see anything negative about this move. It is free and keeps people shopping so a win for the stores.

Read the full letter, gonna be blunt. While a few potentially legit employment law grievances toward the end, the language up front borders on obnoxious. I can't speak to the racial make-up of the back of the house, but I've never personally seen an African-American in the front of the house. It's incredibly tone deaf for primarily white employees to compare themselves TO SLAVES because they had to show up to a 9 a.m. meeting that should've been an email and have to shake the cold brew 10 times.

They have a point about the tips -- you can't pay a tip wage then tell them not to accept tips, should be paying at least minimum wage -- and I can't speak to the ADA issue, tho I doubt the Mouse would've let them build a noncompliant shop. But overall come off as petulant, overly dramatic children.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt this way.

Do they have some legit grievances? Absolutely. But don’t lead with something that’s fairly standard practice in retail/food service.

A lot of this just sounds like younger kids that are just getting into the workforce.
