I was born and raised at WDW. The woke stuff is annoying, but nowhere NEAR as annoying as them ruining all the classic rides in favour of cramming in every ip they think they can squeeze a dollar out of, regardless of how much it ruins the overall feel of the park.
Amen. Couldnt of said it better. I hate the woke stuff but can just not look at it… I cant not look at them destroy classic rides. Cant wait to try universal for the first time in 2025!!!
DfbGuide asked the audience of the channel what ride they wanted replaced next, and someone suggested they take down the Little Mermaid one and build the Beauty and the Beast dark ride there instead.
U can set up 2 day epic packages. Be savvy, be nice, and ask questions with the person on the phone with you and you too can make this happen with a little creativity.
Yeah. I can see some overlap happening. But my guess is due to the cost of attending these parks that overlap is going to be small. Plus if most people go to Florida for Epic that's who is going to get most of the money.
@@mjohnsen8606 there is a reason why street malls work, why malls USED to work. if the price point isnt horrible, location is king. i think disney doesnt understand how their brand has warped recently. also... the rides matter, and they are all VERY OLD. so people like the brand less and the rides belong in the 90s. they are going to be fine until they fall off a cliff
In times of great upheaval, the great state of Florida may very well expel a company that does not play by the rules. Funny how a company reacts when a state tells them "NO". First time ever for this power mad freak of an abomination that was once "Disney"
We booked a trip to Epic Universe and wanted to do a few days a Disney too. Disney was over 2k for a few days. Change to a 4 day Disney Cruse for less, and our food is included.
Is it really that crazy of a statement? There ARE going to be people who are going to make a trip specifically *for* Epic Universe but hit up Disney on the side, who would not have went to Orlando solely for a Disney vacation. It’ll definitely increase their attendance, whether it’s by a meaningful amount is the real question.
I guess it will depend on how far & wide their bad reputation has spread. They've already been voted as the worst vacation ripoff & their DEI stance is losing them $$ at the box office. Parents who are paying attention no longer automatically trust them. When the cascade happens, it will happen fast if they don't course correct.
"If they want a Disney-esque vacation without any Disney, they'll go to Epic Universe." Spot on, but also sad. Epic Universe is everything the Disney Parks used to be before Bob Iger started taking it away.
All I know is that we have our trip booked for next summer to Orlando, staying at Helios going to Epic Universe, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure and no Disney property is on the itinerary…
I saw the Epic Universal scale model at Universal and its impressive. Disney isn't doing itself well with prices. Last Disney visit the customer satisfaction servey taker said people skipped mortgage payments to go to Disney Orlando.
The bottom line for people is just that...the bottom line. Disney has been voted one of the biggest rip-offs in the tourism industry by regular people. With the ridiculous prices of all Lightning Lanes, the terrible DAS pass policy and the alienation of families, people are going to make the decision to go to one or the other. Guess who their going to pick? Duh, no brainer... Universal and Epic Universe. There is still a sizable amount of people that in the past chose Disney over Universal that are not going to make that mistake again.
The Iger Sanctions vs Epic Universe. The public is not buying addition by subtraction. Combined with out pricing and limiting access to their undesirables. Yet Disney is going to draw traffic from Epic Universe?
I love that they’re basically acquainting epic universes opening to that of when islands of adventure opened up back in 1999… There are many differences though… For instance, universal only had one park at that time so they weren’t really a destination. They were just a theme park to visit. Secondly, Universal did a terrible job of marketing islands of adventure… They basically called the whole resort, universal escape, and that just confused everybody… People didn’t realize there were too few parts out. Thirdly, had other weapons in its arsenal that it was using to combat islands of adventures opening… Rock and roller coaster Hollywood Studios, and of course the previous year they had opened an entirely brand new theme park in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. What does Disney have to show for 2025? Doesn’t appear to be anything… And all these projects that they said our shovel ready aren’t even really moving right now… Which gives universal a chance to really blow Disney out of the water again in 2026
the global corporation chasing greater global demographics is not your "daddy" .... the true hero or heroine is an individual who builds himself or herself in constant self improvement in a competition with oneself so that when pitted against a villain, the victory is shared
And what you guys are forgetting as people wanna go to a clean park not a dirty park like Disney World also, the new park that’s being built is for both kids and adults, but Disney only does things what adults want to do and forgets about the kids. I will never take my grandkids to Disneyland, where I live close by because I am a disabled person and Disney treated me like crap and subhuman and I will never forget that.
I do get where he’s coming from: people who were not planning on taking a trip to Disney World will now be spending a day or two there on their week trip to Universal Studios. So yes, it will most likely give them a bump, but not compared to the revenue that Universal Studios will be seeing.
For Whom the Bell Tolls, It tolls for thee, Disney. May I repeat myself, the final nail in Disney's coffin will be Universal's Epic Universe. Epic will be an amusement park for the 21st century and younger people will see it and love it! What person under the age of 40 cares about Snow White, Peter Pan, Winnie-the-Pooh, Dumbo, Small World and yes I will say it "Mickey Mouse" as compared to Harry Potter, Mario, Wicked, and Dark Universe. Epic is not your grandfather's theme park and younger people will flock to it, leaving Disney in the dust. Tron, Marvel, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and Tiana's Bayou Adventure were lame attempts at updating their parks and it has failed miserably. I have already stated in the past about Disney's outrageous price point and won't bore you with that reason. If I were a betting man, I place everything I had on Universal winning this fight and sending Disney into permanent retirement.
I think there's some validity to this ... at first. Bundles and travel deals will sell whatever they can bundle ... but Universal Epic will take over once they have more hotels nearby and, once travel planners and families have to buy both sets of tickets, it won't be 50/50, it will be 60/40, then 65/30, then 75/25 and so on as bundle/pricing comes out to Hotels and travel agents. Money talks. So do hotel prices. food prices. 3-4 days at a theme park is a massive deal. Bundles and deals will tell the story for Disney.So will traffic and parking. People will make longer trips but 2 days at Disney and 3 days at Epic will likely take over, since there will be no money left after spending $50 on food at Disney and $20 at Epic.
Disney really should fire everyone from the top to the bottom. They won't, and shareholders should look in the mirror for fault when their shares are worth $1.17.
Universal is knocking it out of the park. The last time that we went to Orlando, we only went to the Universal properties. Prior to that we would split time between Disney and Universal. All of the new and exciting rides were happening at Universal, and the places that we just had to visit again were there also. Disney has had nothing new of note, and they have priced themselves out of the market for the nostalgia that they do have.
Circus World started dying BEFORE Epcot. They started de-theming it and took out the actual circus and it became a FL version of say......Kenneywood/Knoebels
There is a possibility it might help them with visitor numbers, or not effect them at all, you don't know. I want to visit Epic from the UK in 2026 and if we go as a family we will pay a trip to Disney World. We will have to wait and see...
Disney may have an increase in bookings for next summer as stated by their CFO but what they didn't say was for how many days (Or at least I don't remember seeing that). Sure they could have an increase in bookings, but only for 1-2 days per family which for them is still far worse for them as it's usually 4-5 days if this is the case. They're still losing in the end and they're just spinning numbers to make it not sound as bad.
Sure Disney might get a few wins next year with Zootopia 2 (depending on how good it is), Avatar 3: The Day The Fire Nation Attacked and maybe Lilo and Stitch Live Action. But in terms of the theme parks, they are going to crash and burn likely.
All three of those films should break a billion, I also feel like Freakier Friday should be low budget enough that it will be profitable. But Fantastic Four is kind of like Mufasa, there is online discourse against it but that does not necessarily means folks won't show up at the theater. I will say though a light show tribute to Zootopia makes more sense than A Bug's Life. Also Zootopia should have a new Gazelle song. Meaning only that and Snow White have new songs, while in 2024 there was Moana 2, Mufasa, and Descendants: The Rise of Red.
The numbers are clear. AECOM published most recently in August. Looking at the total Florida footprint for Disney the total attendance is down from pre-pandemic. In 2019 Disney had a gate of 65M, in 2020 it was 21M, in 2021it was 39M, in 2022 it was 51M and in 2023 it was 52M. All indications are that 2024 summer and autumn were decreases year over year, but they were still 19% behind the 2019 customer base last year. Price increases are the band aid. Gaining the lost customers would be a 20% increase in revenue immediately, a small price increase over the past 5 years would essentially be a money printing business. But alas, they got rid of too many customers who have not returned, and they waste the potential expansion of each of their existing 4 gates (not reskins or refurbs, expansion).
R.C. is better than both of those, but Pepsi is better than Coca-Cola, even Wild Cherry Pepsi is an immense improvmeent over Cherry Coke, BUT Orange Vanilla was an amazing flavor which I at least, have not seen since the pandemic started. An Orange Dramsicle Coke is coming out in 2025 though. Oh and Pepsi Mango is amazing too.
Disney has to say that. They cant say yeah we are toast.Disney will still get the die hard Disney homers, but they are going to lose way more than they will gain and even keep. I see a ton of people moving towards Universal. We have and we are DVC. We sleep at Disney that's it, because our room is paid for. We go to Universal, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove and even eat off Disney property. Quality is way better and get way more for your money.
View from Canada. This opening of universal combined with a failing Canadian dollar will have an added impact on Disney. I have no plans to cross the border on vacation until the economy rebounds. I’d like if you guys could start digging statistics on Canadian visitors to WDW. There has to be some stats maintained somewhere that show international visitors. I’m predicting an impact. How large the impact is yet to be seen.
Wdw Pro Disney will be okay...... .... Mickey just has to have a lower grade quality cheese.... But I still insist on having my slice of cake coming from the cake and bake shop.
If people are going to do both Disney and Universal then they’ll most likely pick 2 Disney parks and skip the others. I’m thinking Animal kingdom will be a ghost town because there will be nothing to do. And only Epcot for drinking probably more locals.
To be honest, I would of agree with Disney if this happened years ago, but for now I would say to Disney that if you are at the point where you are to big to fail then you would obviously fail. Sure, it could help go over to Orlando but popularity the creators and audience has to be on the same page. Ever since Star Wars the Last Jedi or the firing of Gina Carano with something that seems innocent with a picture not so innocent, Disney has lots touch of they really are. Sure, it’s important for the imagination in the world to make new things, but there are times when to realize are they actually seeing it as a job or are they seeing it as a safe space for creative thinking? They used to be the second thing and for now it’s basically a job and that shows in media, theme parks, and products. I mean look at Splash Mountain I mean Tiana’s Bayou Adventure I mean Tiana’s Dark Ride Show that Happens to be on the Water Trying to be a Gentle Thriller, I mean if they actually did care for that the critters would be more lifelike an not something that you can see in a typical dark ride with limited movement. The characters even though I do respect them trying something new, the thing is not everybody is going to care about Princess and the Frog which makes it harder to connect with new ideas when the ideas that were already made nothing was wrong with them. Love can get lost when you make something heartless but it can be found by discovering why it’s heartless. All they need to do is Dig a Little Dipper so people would have a wonderful day watch Disney media and/or riding attractions.
Pepsi Mango is amazing, Dr. Pepper is bringing out a Blackberry flavor, and Mountain Dew has so many good flavors, they should bring Livewire back though.
How much Epic universe going to cost because I seriously thought it was going to be any cheap. Ron E Bradley comment I have some questions because one thing I find curious that he said that this is destroying most of their beloved attractions which is kind of funny considering universal studios theme park is doing basically the same yet nobody on this panel wants to bring that up. I think the idea for epic universe started way back in 2016 when universal bought dreamworks animation
You need new not rotated mangement. American industry must start breaking up Wall Street commitments. The quarterly earnings calls publicity need to be tamped down. Clearest example was found with Clinton administration promoting the alllowance of interstate banking. With that came consolidation of banks with management taking early retirement. But those that stayed push the limits. Which then saw more consolidation based on failed banks. If the boatd is content with all the lunacy we all lose.
this walt doesint want his parks to be doing to everyone walt dosint want crazy high priced parks or gift stores and all of disney restrunts to lower all prices when you do that the people will come lots of them zero price hikes at disney parks walt wants everyone to injoy their fun worrying about prices
When president trump lower all high priced on everything Disney parks will do that too becouse their not doing good now they will when Disney parks make their parks affordable again that's what works for every one that wants to go to Disney parks
Dude, can´t wait until Epic Universe! That will be awesome!😆 Disney is a lame duck with their stupidity of woke garbage. Besides, they ruined the old, historical rides anyway. Screw them!
Epic is going to be a park like nothing we have seen. People will not continue to pay high fees, have to get on your phone pay again then try to get a pass to ride per ride the rides you want oh and pay again. Disney is not the Disney we grew up with and looks like it will never be again in my lifetime. I smile when I think of what Epic will do to Disney because I am appalled at the way Disney has gone. Good bye woke Disney your box is ready and May 2025 you will be put in the nails driven down and it will be kicked into the hole and dirt tossed in. I have enjoyed Universal instead of Disney for several years and intend on continuing enjoying it even more. They get my money and time not Disney. I can’t wait for Epic it will be Epic (pun intended)!!! We are cruiser and Disney will never be appealing to the largest group of cruisers. It has lots of kids and lots of kid activities. They have put in adult areas and some things to do but let’s face it how many couples that don’t have kids with them want to see Mickey & Minny & the group and hear screaming kids. The other problem is they are ridiculously priced. We can do a seven day Royal Caribbean cruise 4 ports, cabin with an ocean balcony for the price of an inside three to four night Disney. Also most Royal Caribbean cruises have an actual broadway show onboard along with loads of other entertainment and a bunch of included places to eat.
It’s better than what Disney is offering but then I don’t like when I’m with my glon cat in universal soul that’ll be like on my stuffed cat glon cat universal Disney let me walk around my start cat glon doll from China so I have more freedom in Disney’s then universal so they won’t let me walk around my stock cat glon in the Nintendo section so I get more freedom at Disney to walk around my stuff cat glon doll Love you guys. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
There’s some possible truth to this… the amount of people coming to EPIC UNIVERSE, could possibly attend Disney World on other days around going to Epic Universe. I’m not sure and wouldn’t bank on it, but there’s a slight possibility that it may be true. To automatically assume that it will or will not, is both naive and unrealistic. So both this channel and Disney both shouldn’t assume it will be worse or better until after the fact. Saying that Disney has turned off “Half” of American 🇺🇸 people is 100% incorrect. Of someone is part of the “hall” of America that you are talking about, I disagree with you 100%! Not to mention most of the people in my life does not agree with you #DisneyHaters. I do think some of the Disney heads are naive what’s going on. But not even close to what you people are talking about. I’m watching your videos less and less because I’m tired of all the Disney Hate videos. Only time will tell!
That’s why Nintendo is pulling back because they can compete with glon the cat and lucky chogoink franky and compete with lucky chogokin franky and glon the cat doll and snoopy they can compete with snoopy snoopy, Carter $900 dollars at the grocery store Snoopy peanuts cards or $900 at the grocery store they can’t compete with slick walter Mario can’t compete with slick walter the brand slick walter so that’s the case with that Mario can compete with or Pokémon can’t compete with slick walter and snoopy Mario can’t compete with snoopy and slick walter they can’t compete with snoopy Mario Love you guys. And Elmo. And snoopy. Mario can’t compete with. Snoopy and Elmo. That’s just the truth of the matter is can you compete with snoopy and Elmo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😇
I think that Nintendo won’t let me walk with my glon cat doll in universal epic universe that’s the thing with Mario it’s not peanuts peanuts bought a peanuts card it was $900 for the Peanuts Christmas card Mario is not worth as much as Snoopy the snoopy Christmas card $900 so think Mario nothing compared to Snoopy and glon and lucky chogokin franky so snippy cards or $900 dollars because of inflation think Mario can’t compete with snoopy just my honest opinion know as much as snoopy Mario can’t compete with snoopy💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

Agreed +1
Amen. Couldnt of said it better. I hate the woke stuff but can just not look at it… I cant not look at them destroy classic rides. Cant wait to try universal for the first time in 2025!!!
Spot on comment! They need to build a new park with the bought and paid for land.
DfbGuide asked the audience of the channel what ride they wanted replaced next, and someone suggested they take down the Little Mermaid one and build the Beauty and the Beast dark ride there instead.
I can’t believe they’re gonna close muppet vision 3D
U can set up 2 day epic packages. Be savvy, be nice, and ask questions with the person on the phone with you and you too can make this happen with a little creativity.
they probably have some market research that says epic will bring tourists to the area, and said tourists will also visit at least 1 disney park
Yeah. I can see some overlap happening. But my guess is due to the cost of attending these parks that overlap is going to be small. Plus if most people go to Florida for Epic that's who is going to get most of the money.

Can’t afford either one.
The psychology of those in the cult is amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Executives at Disney continue to lie and gaslight. It is literal malfeasance.
In times of great upheaval, the great state of Florida may very well expel a company that does not play by the rules. Funny how a company reacts when a state tells them "NO". First time ever for this power mad freak of an abomination that was once "Disney"
Can't wait for Epic Universe!
Don't worry captain that iceberg won't be a problem it's full steam ahead 😂.
Their CFO needs to lay off the copium before he overdoses.
We booked a trip to Epic Universe and wanted to do a few days a Disney too. Disney was over 2k for a few days. Change to a 4 day Disney Cruse for less, and our food is included.
I'm an Uber driver in Orlando and I've heard many people say they're waiting to do epic and Disney in the same trip.
Which isn't the same as trips to Epic converting into more trips to Disney.
So instead of 3 days at Disney and 1 at universal it’ll be 3 days at universal and one at Disney
Good luck man you are gonna need it 😅
Is it really that crazy of a statement? There ARE going to be people who are going to make a trip specifically *for* Epic Universe but hit up Disney on the side, who would not have went to Orlando solely for a Disney vacation.

I doubt it will be enough to scratch the attendance margins that they are hoping for

Crazy thing is that Disney could've had Harry Potter if their hubris hadn't gotten in the way during their meeting with JK Rowling.
The way Disney acts now if they had gotten Harry Potter once 2020 rolled around they would have been disgusted with themselves.

Im not going to any disney pdf file park
If Disney wants to keep their place at the top they need to incorporate more thrill rides like Tron and Guardians into the parks!
I do get where he’s coming from: people who were not planning on taking a trip to Disney World will now be spending a day or two there on their week trip to Universal Studios. So yes, it will most likely give them a bump, but not compared to the revenue that Universal Studios will be seeing.

Down, Down, Down - Attendance is Down. 🤣🤣🤣
I think there's some validity to this ... at first.

Money talks. So do hotel prices. food prices. 3-4 days at a theme park is a massive deal. Bundles and deals will tell the story for Disney.So will traffic and parking.
People will make longer trips but 2 days at Disney and 3 days at Epic will likely take over, since there will be no money left after spending $50 on food at Disney and $20 at Epic.
Disney really should fire everyone from the top to the bottom. They won't, and shareholders should look in the mirror for fault when their shares are worth $1.17.
Massive new competitor?
Won't effect us.
I used to be a Disney fan who took bi-yearly trips to wdw.I plan on going to Epic Universe in 2026 and will not set foot on Disney property.
Universal is knocking it out of the park. The last time that we went to Orlando, we only went to the Universal properties. Prior to that we would split time between Disney and Universal. All of the new and exciting rides were happening at Universal, and the places that we just had to visit again were there also. Disney has had nothing new of note, and they have priced themselves out of the market for the nostalgia that they do have.
Actually Circus World is now a movie theater, Best Buy, Ross, and a bunch of small shops now.
I like Lorn Land.
Circus World started dying BEFORE Epcot. They started de-theming it and took out the actual circus and it became a FL version of say......Kenneywood/Knoebels
There is a possibility it might help them with visitor numbers, or not effect them at all, you don't know. I want to visit Epic from the UK in 2026 and if we go as a family we will pay a trip to Disney World. We will have to wait and see...
That is hyper levels of delusion.

I will say though a light show tribute to Zootopia makes more sense than A Bug's Life.
Also Zootopia should have a new Gazelle song. Meaning only that and Snow White have new songs, while in 2024 there was Moana 2, Mufasa, and Descendants: The Rise of Red.
Bonfire of the vanities.
He’s insane drinking too much of Bob’s special Kool-Aid🙄
Deflect, deflect, deflect. Deny, deny, deny.

No, it's like cola saying Pepsi isn't an existential threat at all.
R.C. is better than both of those, but Pepsi is better than Coca-Cola, even Wild Cherry Pepsi is an immense improvmeent over Cherry Coke, BUT Orange Vanilla was an amazing flavor which I at least, have not seen since the pandemic started.
An Orange Dramsicle Coke is coming out in 2025 though.
Oh and Pepsi Mango is amazing too.
Hi !
RIP Disney Parks... threy are about to get wiped out.
Disney has to say that. They cant say yeah we are toast.Disney will still get the die hard Disney homers, but they are going to lose way more than they will gain and even keep. I see a ton of people moving towards Universal. We have and we are DVC. We sleep at Disney that's it, because our room is paid for. We go to Universal, Busch Gardens, Discovery Cove and even eat off Disney property. Quality is way better and get way more for your money.
This is a level of corporate cope I've never seen before, and I've been following all the woke downfalls since 2016
Next cartoon is about the rats that took over Disneyland during the plandemic
We gotta stay locked in for the next episode of The Ghost of Nicodemus Goes to Splash Mountain, or The Secret of NAH.
Don Bluth should be the next CEO of Disney.
View from Canada. This opening of universal combined with a failing Canadian dollar will have an added impact on Disney. I have no plans to cross the border on vacation until the economy rebounds.
I’d like if you guys could start digging statistics on Canadian visitors to WDW. There has to be some stats maintained somewhere that show international visitors. I’m predicting an impact. How large the impact is yet to be seen.
Universal also has nightlife. Disney does not.
Let universal have Brazilians
Wdw Pro Disney will be okay...... .... Mickey just has to have a lower grade quality cheese.... But I still insist on having my slice of cake coming from the cake and bake shop.
What happened? This was best part of Disney.
I predict Epic Universe will significantly cut into WDWs business and will badly tank Disney's stock value.
Disney is more like rc cola or Sam’s choice cola
RC is the best my friend. I am an RC stan, there is no soda that compares.
If people are going to do both Disney and Universal then they’ll most likely pick 2 Disney parks and skip the others. I’m thinking Animal kingdom will be a ghost town because there will be nothing to do. And only Epcot for drinking probably more locals.
That explains why there are bringing Encanto to Animal Kingdom eventually.
To be honest, I would of agree with Disney if this happened years ago, but for now I would say to Disney that if you are at the point where you are to big to fail then you would obviously fail. Sure, it could help go over to Orlando but popularity the creators and audience has to be on the same page. Ever since Star Wars the Last Jedi or the firing of Gina Carano with something that seems innocent with a picture not so innocent, Disney has lots touch of they really are. Sure, it’s important for the imagination in the world to make new things, but there are times when to realize are they actually seeing it as a job or are they seeing it as a safe space for creative thinking? They used to be the second thing and for now it’s basically a job and that shows in media, theme parks, and products. I mean look at Splash Mountain I mean Tiana’s Bayou Adventure I mean Tiana’s Dark Ride Show that Happens to be on the Water Trying to be a Gentle Thriller, I mean if they actually did care for that the critters would be more lifelike an not something that you can see in a typical dark ride with limited movement. The characters even though I do respect them trying something new, the thing is not everybody is going to care about Princess and the Frog which makes it harder to connect with new ideas when the ideas that were already made nothing was wrong with them. Love can get lost when you make something heartless but it can be found by discovering why it’s heartless. All they need to do is Dig a Little Dipper so people would have a wonderful day watch Disney media and/or riding attractions.
To be fair, Pepsi hasn't been a competitor to Coke since the 80's.
Pepsi owns Gatorade, Dr. Pepper, nd Mountain Dew. Pepsi has outgrown Coke.
Pepsi Mango is amazing, Dr. Pepper is bringing out a Blackberry flavor, and Mountain Dew has so many good flavors, they should bring Livewire back though.
I have season passes to universal studios and it’s cheaper and less lines for rides. Food is better too
How much Epic universe going to cost because I seriously thought it was going to be any cheap. Ron E Bradley comment I have some questions because one thing I find curious that he said that this is destroying most of their beloved attractions which is kind of funny considering universal studios theme park is doing basically the same yet nobody on this panel wants to bring that up. I think the idea for epic universe started way back in 2016 when universal bought dreamworks animation
You need new not rotated mangement. American industry must start breaking up Wall Street commitments.
The quarterly earnings calls publicity need to be tamped down.
Clearest example was found with Clinton administration promoting the alllowance of interstate banking. With that came consolidation of banks with management taking early retirement. But those that stayed push the limits. Which then saw more consolidation based on failed banks.
If the boatd is content with all the lunacy we all lose.
this walt doesint want his parks to be doing to everyone walt dosint want crazy high priced parks or gift stores and all of disney restrunts to lower all prices when you do that the people will come lots of them zero price hikes at disney parks walt wants everyone to injoy their fun worrying about prices
When president trump lower all high priced on everything Disney parks will do that too becouse their not doing good now they will when Disney parks make their parks affordable again that's what works for every one that wants to go to Disney parks
Maybe Sesame Street outta leave Warner Bros and go work for Universal Studios instead.
Dude, can´t wait until Epic Universe! That will be awesome!😆 Disney is a lame duck with their stupidity of woke garbage. Besides, they ruined the old, historical rides anyway. Screw them!
Epic is going to be a park like nothing we have seen. People will not continue to pay high fees, have to get on your phone pay again then try to get a pass to ride per ride the rides you want oh and pay again. Disney is not the Disney we grew up with and looks like it will never be again in my lifetime.
I smile when I think of what Epic will do to Disney because I am appalled at the way Disney has gone. Good bye woke Disney your box is ready and May 2025 you will be put in the nails driven down and it will be kicked into the hole and dirt tossed in.
I have enjoyed Universal instead of Disney for several years and intend on continuing enjoying it even more. They get my money and time not Disney.
I can’t wait for Epic it will be Epic (pun intended)!!!
We are cruiser and Disney will never be appealing to the largest group of cruisers. It has lots of kids and lots of kid activities. They have put in adult areas and some things to do but let’s face it how many couples that don’t have kids with them want to see Mickey & Minny & the group and hear screaming kids.
The other problem is they are ridiculously priced.
We can do a seven day Royal Caribbean cruise 4 ports, cabin with an ocean balcony for the price of an inside three to four night Disney. Also most Royal Caribbean cruises have an actual broadway show onboard along with loads of other entertainment and a bunch of included places to eat.
It’s better than what Disney is offering but then I don’t like when I’m with my glon cat in universal soul that’ll be like on my stuffed cat glon cat universal Disney let me walk around my start cat glon doll from China so I have more freedom in Disney’s then universal so they won’t let me walk around my stock cat glon in the Nintendo section so I get more freedom at Disney to walk around my stuff cat glon doll Love you guys. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
One problem with Universal's existing parks is that they have too many attractions that cause motion sickness.
There’s some possible truth to this… the amount of people coming to EPIC UNIVERSE, could possibly attend Disney World on other days around going to Epic Universe. I’m not sure and wouldn’t bank on it, but there’s a slight possibility that it may be true. To automatically assume that it will or will not, is both naive and unrealistic. So both this channel and Disney both shouldn’t assume it will be worse or better until after the fact. Saying that Disney has turned off “Half” of American 🇺🇸 people is 100% incorrect. Of someone is part of the “hall” of America that you are talking about, I disagree with you 100%! Not to mention most of the people in my life does not agree with you #DisneyHaters. I do think some of the Disney heads are naive what’s going on. But not even close to what you people are talking about. I’m watching your videos less and less because I’m tired of all the Disney Hate videos. Only time will tell!
That’s why Nintendo is pulling back because they can compete with glon the cat and lucky chogoink franky and compete with lucky chogokin franky and glon the cat doll and snoopy they can compete with snoopy snoopy, Carter $900 dollars at the grocery store Snoopy peanuts cards or $900 at the grocery store they can’t compete with slick walter Mario can’t compete with slick walter the brand slick walter so that’s the case with that Mario can compete with or Pokémon can’t compete with slick walter and snoopy Mario can’t compete with snoopy and slick walter they can’t compete with snoopy Mario Love you guys. And Elmo. And snoopy. Mario can’t compete with. Snoopy and Elmo. That’s just the truth of the matter is can you compete with snoopy and Elmo 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😇
I think that Nintendo won’t let me walk with my glon cat doll in universal epic universe that’s the thing with Mario it’s not peanuts peanuts bought a peanuts card it was $900 for the Peanuts Christmas card Mario is not worth as much as Snoopy the snoopy Christmas card $900 so think Mario nothing compared to Snoopy and glon and lucky chogokin franky so snippy cards or $900 dollars because of inflation think Mario can’t compete with snoopy just my honest opinion know as much as snoopy Mario can’t compete with snoopy💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
