I never could figure out why they didn't do a Haunted Mansion restaurant? It would always be packed. This themed bar is the next best thing. It's a no-brainer, well-loved theme and you don't see it anywhere else. It's amazing to me that Universal Studios never created a spooky dark ride.
There is still resistance to adult beverages in the MK being a reason to go there. As there should be. There are several places to get a cocktail in MK. As there should be. I am about to enter my 50th year going to WDW. That place cannot become a drinking destination. EPCOT, Springs or dozens of resort bars are available if you want to booze it. I really miss Pleasure Island. Corporate meeting travel and PI made for some memorable trips to Orlando that had nothing to do with the parks. ConGaloosh !
Daily Wire is a right wing propaganda machine funded by evangelical fracking billionaires to push their right wing ideology including railing against homosexuality and climate denialism. That is the type of programming they are aiming at kids. It’s literal indoctrination.
It’s mind boggling that this crowd is the same crowd that was screeching and wailing when a same-sex couple shared a peck on screen in Lightyear, but is now making THEIR OWN “movie” in response to Disney possibly NOT including the kiss between Snow White and the prince. So, you rage when a same-sex couple is depicted, but then you rage and “retaliate” when a female and male couple DOES’NT get represented and you call it “woke”. You people are so transparent it’s not even funny anymore. You’re not for “protecting the children”.. You just believe the world should be 100% straight, white and Christian. So stop pretending.

Reservations need to go, Genie + needs to go, Lightning Lane needs to go! Bring back standard stand-by queues and Fast Pass. Personally, I've been officially priced out of renewing my Annual Pass and will be letting it expire next August and will plan an annual trip instead during the California Resident discount ticket days only.
Annual pass want to be. Unfortunately I'm also priced out of Disneyland. I live in Temecula and have to price in $100 travel each visit. [Gas, 91freeway pass, parking equal $100 just to get to the gate.]
Glad to hear tree house is opening! That will be our last day there after spending the previous 3 days in the parks. I thought for sure we were going to miss it opening.
I appreciate that you keep banging the drum on the reservation system, David. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication (and Liz and Sofia's, too!!).
Disney should make a new park in Vegas. It fits their agenda perfectly, a city with huge tourism numbers but a smaller magic key crowd presence. Year round weather conditions, land is cheap, makes total sense in my book
We were DVC members for over 20 years then Disney began acting like they were doing us a favor every time we tried to book a resort, so we said "good-bye' to Disney, and sold all our DVC points. We never looked back.
I wish they would make a key for out of state guests, it’s getting harder to come to the park because of ticket prices and availability, and finding a place to stay for a reasonable price is just about impossible, and I used to have the AP (the flex pass) it worked great for me, I miss the old Disney days.
When I had a Dream Key, it wasn't a matter of getting the dates that I wanted. The main problem was how hard I'd have to work to get the dates that I want because the reservation system interfered with the Magic Key program. I still don't have a Magic Key because the reservation system is still in place, which is Disney's fault, and because I don't have a friend who also wants to buy a Magic Key, which is my fault. I'm not really looking for that friend while the reservation system is still in place, though. I've got time. . . .
Just watched your segment on magic keys and the survey. Here’s my “poor me” who lives 400miles away and stopped getting annual passes after they introduced Magic key program: I’m furious. I work the typical M-F job. I can’t get my ROI with the top tier out of the year and next tier has nearly all Saturdays blocked.
I often try visiting spring, Oct and Xmas time. It’s now easier and cheaper for me to get individual day tix vs even considering any key pass and deal with the reservation thing.
this is an example of that guest that disney has lost. you gave up because disney created too many roadblocks. Would you have given up if there was no reservation system?
@@freshbakedpresentsit would make my planning and coordinating much easier. I have a fluid set of friends/family who join my random visits constantly. Even my own kids missed out because of certain days being unavailable (especially around holiday times when they don’t even get their work schedule a week ahead)
Would love a haunted mansion bar/restaurant at Disneyland! Happy my daughter gets her first experience on the treehouse in Dec. Great update David! Fresh baked!!
I don't know if we'll ever be able to afford going out to the east coast for a cruise , but the Disney Treasure is now on my bucket list just for that Haunted Mansion bar!!!
Our entire family will be watching the Daily Wire classic version of the tale. The comments Disneys lead actress made about the film were such a slap in Walts face. He would not tolerate that if he were still in charge.
Hi FB! I definitely go to the park less with the reservation system. I can only have 2 reservations at a time so I book them ahead so I can get the dates I need. In the past, I would go spur of the moment but now I would have to cancel one of my reservation and there is no guarantee I'll be able to rebook it. Hence, I stay home when I would have gone in the past before the "stupid" reservation system. DL is a 1 1/2 hour drive from my home. Not too far. I am assuming this is how Disney keeps magic keys out of the parks. It works!
I, as a disabled person did not have a good time a Universal Studios in California. My group could not stay together for the rides. That said they seem to be much more intuned to the consumer. If they keep that up they will leave Disney in their dust. Disney must wake up and get back to what Walt had in mind when he developed Disney.
Competition is always good for the customer base!! Hope it is a hit, so Disney will get back to its roots. Love Disneyland, but they are making more bad decision than good with currremt leadership.
In my opinion, Disney doesn't need to build a 5th gate in Orlando. But they do NEED to UPGRADE the existing parks! Epcot - It's a mess right now. World showcase has so much potential with the current set up. It just needs more rides. Look how successful Frozen and Ratatouille have been. Mexico needs a coco upgrade. And there should be some sort of ride in just about every pavilion. England was supposed to get a Mary poppins ride. Even if its just small for the kids. I think they could do Alladian in Morrocco and Mulan in china. As for the rest of the park. Just keep building out more rides! Upgrade Test track and Spaceship Earth. I could go on an on. Animal Kingdom in my opinion is very close to being a fantastic park! But dinoland is crap. All they need to do is re-theme it to South America and retheme the dino ride to Indiana Jones. This is a no brainer!! And they already have that train that kinda goes to nowhere. At the end of the train, you should enter a Zootopia Land. It's literally a movie about Animals!! Hollywood Studios is also not that far off from being great. Just needs upgrades to older rides and lands. Honestly, if they would retheme Star Wars land from Sequel Series to even the Mando-verse it would be huge. Lastly, that leaves Magin kingdom. Now that Tron is complete, I would leave this park alone until everything else is finished/upgraded. Then, they can do that backlot expansion beyond the rivers of america. I mean its this...or a 5th gate...or LOOSE out to Universal.
Hi David, What I don't understand is why have block out dates for the highest key? And Inspire should have more reservations allowed. Really would like to see whole reservation system gone. It's gone in Florida, isn't it? I don't feel appreciated at all as MKH. Love Disneyland though, not the operations part.
The reason is that Disney got sued for claiming a pass had no blockout days, even though it didn’t. Because of the suit, all passes now have some sort of restriction.
@@cheerfulcupcake Theme park reservations are required to enter a theme park through January 8, 2024. Beginning January 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. For other admission types, theme park reservations may be required.
I got the survey as well. I kind of wonder what they will do with the data. I really wish they’d get rid of the penalty for no show on a reservation. No one can plan for an emergency. I also feel that they need to do more for key holders, like special nights, not just merchandise and random food offerings.
Dave, I agree the Live Wire movie may be a shot at Disney, but what if they do make a live version of Snow White that pays homage to the original in a live format? That could do well.
We need a pool. 4th from the left is Grumpy. The guy in front of him looks Sneezy. I am going second in, in blue, as Doc. Green hat as Dopey. Aragon in the back is Bashful. Happy is happy cause they put him in a fro. That leaves our leader. He is only leading because he is looking for a place to Sleep.
Paid full price for (4) tickets into DCA..... SUPRISE, forced to leave park at 6:00pm because of Oogie Boogie Bash. No prorate price or perk for some other time. People w/o park hoppers didn't have fallback to go over to DL. RIP OFF!
BUMMER we’re there tue 3 days before the 10th. Maybe we’ll get a preview of that at small world holiday. Our believe key is blacked out that day. Ding dang.
Wow, Disney opened a tree house. In that time, Universal has almost completed a whole new theme park. I've lost interest in a tree house. I want to immerse myself into a new Universe.
@@agustdan6599 Will do. I’ll enjoy Epic Universe, too, after I get back from my 3 weeks exploring Tokyo Disneyland. I’m not a “one or the other” type of person. I’m someone who just enjoys all the things and doesn’t feel the need to complain that things aren’t always equal. Not saying you are… only saying that I look at the bright side of things. Have an EPIC time.
Hi David. Your same reasoning can be applied to Disney as it concerns what their motivations are in such a drastic departure of Walts first motion picture? I recognize you try to walk a fine line as both a Disney fan and critic. But we both know what's happening here. The Disney Co. has been compromised by a younger generation of idealogues who wish to rebrand Walt's vision. They're blinded to what fans of Disney want and it's destroying their brand. Thanks for all your work and content.
Thanks for another informative, fun video. I agree that the reservation system has failed me! I go less even though I have a top tier pass. This has made me reconsider if I want to renew. Because of the limitations of reservations, I have found myself looking at other ways to use my time. Sad to say....The reservation system has weaned my frequency to go to Disneyland. So Sad because I Love Disneyland!
Hi David. We are excited about the opening of the Tree House. When we saw the possible "7" dwarfs, we are stunned. They are not dwarfs, so, actually, it looks like the story has been altered to fit in today's society and we are not sure how we feel about that. Yet, we are trying to keep an open mind about it. Who knows, it might be okay. Thanks for the updates! ❤Bizebeegranny Jeanne and Dave Rose ❤️
@@freshbakedpresents True, but what a chance to advance the story! a small monitor running a commercial about how they have cleaned up their act? I dunno. :D
I’ve been under the impression that DW is trying to offer a version of Snow White that represents the values of its core audience, since the Disney version seems like it will not. I’ve heard that so far what DW has created is very good, so I have high hopes for their Snow White.
David lowkey pressed that the Daily Wire (Conservative Company) is trying to do their own version of Snow White but yet other companies did the same thing ex Warner Bros.
I really wish they would include Genie+ in the inspire magic key and just charge more overall. Actually getting rid of genie plus would be even better. WE get res roughly 60% of the time we want one. charge more on the inspire pass and give us back the entire year no blackouts. Stop the reservation system for the inspire key. I'm ok with paying more if i get more. But they are giving us less and charging more--its like they are punishing their customers
when they talk about offering things we want, that is something. They gave MaxPass to Sig pass holders back in the day. They should do the same for inspire. Or offer a year long a la carte option.
I don't think i ever want to go back to Disney. My mom offered to take me and i begged for us to go at the end of November when the tickets are $134 because i wanted to make sure the Christmas decorations were done since I've always wanted to go during Christmas time. My mom wanted to go on the 15th when the tickets were cheaper. I convinced her of the later date and then afterwards i found out her favorite ride would be closed. I switched the tickets to the 15th for her, but Disney refused to refund the $60 in exchange for the lower price tickets. Now my mom is mad at me. Also the people on the phone were very rude to me and actually made me cry. The first people were nice, but when they transferred me to their supervisors they were so mean. We're going anyways because of the money that was spent, but i can't even see myself enjoying my time there. I don't want to support a company like this.
I think cost has finally arrived sterility. $100-150 a month PER PERSON a reasonable cost for a secure, family friendly, space with entertainment and rides?
Good for Dailywire!! Disney needs someone to help bring them back to what made them great and maybe just maybe the Dailywire will help be that push for Disney.
freshabked the same comments that you apply to the daily wire also applies to disney and the films they have been making as of late. i hope neither film betrays the original--it would be refreshing.
Disney had not only created a “sense of urgency” with the reservation. More importantly, they’ve created a punishment system. The sense that you will LOSE your PAID privilege to go to the parks on a regular basis if you “change your mind” or if something comes up at the last minute, has made it so most of us WILL show up, rain or shine, sick or not. There’s a reason why even the “slowest” periods we were used to pre-pandemic were now surprisingly always steady. Even in the rain. Once you’re locked in… you’re locked in. And sadly, Disney is probably banking on that aspect.
From what I can tell about the Daily Wire's Snow White movie, yes... yes it was a pot shot at Disney... 100 percent... From what I can tell it's because it's because the Disney movie is too "woke"...
Even Snow White is just a family movie, so it's whatever - if they want to out-Disney Disney for the sake of it, fine. But they also have this new children's programming service, and the way they market it is very... icky. Children's programming, above all else, has to come from a genuine place of wanting to educate, entertain, and pique the curiosity. But they have been explicitly marketing it as anti-Disney and anti so-called "woke". It instills no confidence they're getting into the business for the right reasons.
If you do some research, the daily wire one is based on the original fairytale, not Disney’s. That’s why her hair is long and such. It’s not meant to be a replica of Disney’s 1937 film.
So, you want to know if 5 or 6 people (out of the thousands who happily use the service on a daily basis) boycotting a service that they probably didn’t use anyway, would make a difference? No. No it wouldn’t.

Also, your response to my question indicates that you have no concept of reach, market, or strength of influence. You need to stop piggybacking off of David’s channel, dude.
Is DW claiming to be doing a live action adaptation of the DISNEY Snow White? Or are they just making a movie of the story that pre-dates the Disney company by over 100 years? Not being sarcastic, I legitimately don't know.
BentKey provides a return to traditional family programming. Disney has been spending far too much on films with big name stars and politically motivated story lines & characters. I love the parks and the Star Wars universe, but not so much some of the new stuff.
Reservations do need to go away. I like knowing I will have a spot when I get there but it's causing too many restrictions on people. Just let it go Disney.
I think Daily Wire is trying to invoke the CLASSIC Snow White. And personally I Think Rachel is just cringe and seems to not even enjoy working on this classic story. I'm a huge Disney gal, but I have no interest in seeing her portray Snow White. And let's be honest the Dwarves were the HEROES of this movie, not having them is a huge miss.
They just need to make a great movie. Lil. Mermaid was much better than I thought it would be. Not a great movie like Barbie, but a good movie. For $400 it has to be great. It's going to be the same story, stories never change, with modern characters. What you should be doing is trying to match the qualities to the cast. Does anyone look sleepy?
it used to be that Disney could make that extra $400 million just by being a disney production. same for marvel. a $400 million movie turns into an $800 million movie. that is no longer the case.
it's not simply about competition. the question i'm asking is about DW's motivation to making a snow white movie knowing that Disney is making one as well. Is dream works making a snow white movie?
Universal just holds no interest to me, doubt I will ever go to the one in Florida, it just lacks the Disney charm to me. I’ve only been to the one in California twice and have no desire to go back really and I live in California.
@freshbakedpresents3446 David and Liz another great video as always. would love to see you do another analysis of how disney parks and ESPN are the only things keeping disney alive right now. disney is under 80 and no dividend. lowest in nearly 10 years.
I hope the hostile takeover succeeds. I hope Snow White loses a shit load of money. LOL, In no universe does Disneys Snow White girl look anything like Snow White.
Just got back from a trip to DL. Here's the good, the bad and the ugly in our opinion.... GOOD: Haunted Mansion Halloween theming is amazing! Mickey & Minnie Runaway Railway story, theming and effects are perfection! Those (fewer these days, sadly) stellar cast members that make the visit special. Frozen Mocha at Ghirardelli in DCA. Yum. Beautiful monorail train decorations. DCA nighttime Halloween lighting. Mobile ordering. BAD: Double-wide Strollers Over-hyped Mickey 'Pumpkin' cupcake. (plain vanilla cake with orange icing) Worn, sadly outdated, tired bathrooms in Disneyland Hotel room. Too many attractions 'down' at same time. Ticket prices should be reduced accordingly. Having to use cell phone so much to survive in the parks. Spotty cell phone/DL App operation. No pumpkin pie anywhere. No pumpkin beneigts. No place to sit when having Mickey Beneigts and Mint Julips. All tables are for Tiana's Restaurant now. Mostly bored, unhappy looking cast members operating rides. Price of plain bottled water is too high. Too much alcohol now in DL. Miserable LA/Anaheim traffic to get to the parks. UGLY: Rude and reckless EV riders (mostly just obese, not ill) Cast members giving directions in rude tones of voices. Being forced out of DCA at 6:00pm because of Oogie Boogie Bash. Tickets should have been prorated. Not being 'allowed' to use luggage carts at DL Hotel. Window drapes and bed headboards incredibly dusty in DL Hotel room! Opening drapes triggered allergy sneezing. Not being able to see the nighttime Villains light show in Redwood Creek (DCA). Only for Oogie Boogie Bash. Gay couples in excessive PDA's with no regard to little kids around.
Disney is in a spot right now they want to get rid of the season pass altogether so they created the reservation system and changed it to magic keys in hopes that people would stop buying the passes. Unfortunately their greed has caused them to raise ticket food and merch prices making the passes with their discounts more appealing. Im currently paying around $120 a month for my pass and i go twice a month compared to paying close to $170 for one day without discounts. Disney is creating their own problems they cant get rid of the pass system its a amusement industries standard and would hurt them publicly. But they also cant punish pass holders who are paying for this exact service were giving them a year of business guaranteed whether we go often enough to make back what were paying in were locked in thats merch sales food sales guaranteed within a healthy margin. The greed is really getting to the company and it makes me sad.
Disney did the same thing in 08 right before the GFC (economic crash) They were adamantly trying to force APs out of the parks. It was the same argument then as it is now. "To many APs come in and ruin the experience for once in a lifetime/once a year guest" They forget that it is actually the AP that comes in and spends $100 on food every month and not the once a year person that comes in a spends $200 for food and merch that keeps the lights on. This is why you keep hearing the per guest spending brought up during the conference calls. They are not looking at the per year total from an AP only each visit.
Universal is going after Disney in the long term. They know, not as many kids go now becuase it is too expensize. More kids went in the 70s 80 and 90s because it was affordable and we all go as adults now. Well, Disney is not going have a surplus of adults like usin 20 years. I think Disney is on a slow downward trend to being second to Universal unfortunately.
I know lol!!!.... I agree however about not feeling appreciated as a magic key holder. Also, seein you on mainstreet the other day, in real life, made my daughters trip lol. Much love from PHX!
The new snow white isn’t a one off from the daily wire. DW created an entire children’s entertainment media company called Bentkey, and has several shows. This is just their first movie and they even said they were inspired by Disney (Walt not the company) to do snow white. Their whole thing is making stuff without any political messaging for kids. It’s a lot more of a threat to the disney company than you might expect.
@@LucasCastleman Go ahead and roll your eyes and try to minimize it, but TDW fed the white nationalist flames against Disney repeatedly; they're only a step removed from Prageru when it comes to white nationalist propaganda for kids. That's all this "film" is - an attempt to bilk the racist rubes who want to "make the libs cry" by funding this latest scam.
Yeah, ok. Way to neuter the full story. Daily Wire is a far-right conservative political company who strongly believes that gay people should lose the privilege of being able to get married, strongly opposes women’s rights of abortion and that Christianity should be part of public curriculum. They are making a mock-piece THEY deem fit, because they’re mad that Rachel Zegler has some Hispanic descent. Their stuff is as “message-free” as creating “him” and “her” chocolate bars and selling them for $25 because they were mad Hersheys had a measly candy wrapper that celebrated pride month. They’re not “message free” in the slightest.
DW does an about-face on their content constantly. In one breath they'll say its not political, and in the next they'll say they're making it in opposition to their political opponents, e.g. Disney. Even if the content itself is politics free, they'll take every opportunity to brand it as a safe haven from ideas some people don't like and don't want to think about.
I never could figure out why they didn't do a Haunted Mansion restaurant? It would always be packed. This themed bar is the next best thing. It's a no-brainer, well-loved theme and you don't see it anywhere else. It's amazing to me that Universal Studios never created a spooky dark ride.

It’s a great marketing attempt by the DW to launch their new kids programming. Their heart is definitely in developing content for kids and families.

I will be at Disneyland on November 10th and 12th! Is this treehouse mostly for kids or what's the big deal about it? Is it like an obstacle course?
I, as a disabled person did not have a good time a Universal Studios in California. My group could not stay together for the rides. That said they seem to be much more intuned to the consumer. If they keep that up they will leave Disney in their dust. Disney must wake up and get back to what Walt had in mind when he developed Disney.
damn is that a new camera you're using for A- Roll?
Competition is always good for the customer base!! Hope it is a hit, so Disney will get back to its roots. Love Disneyland, but they are making more bad decision than good with currremt leadership.
Go WOKE, GO BROKE!!
In my opinion, Disney doesn't need to build a 5th gate in Orlando. But they do NEED to UPGRADE the existing parks! Epcot - It's a mess right now. World showcase has so much potential with the current set up. It just needs more rides. Look how successful Frozen and Ratatouille have been. Mexico needs a coco upgrade. And there should be some sort of ride in just about every pavilion. England was supposed to get a Mary poppins ride. Even if its just small for the kids. I think they could do Alladian in Morrocco and Mulan in china. As for the rest of the park. Just keep building out more rides! Upgrade Test track and Spaceship Earth. I could go on an on. Animal Kingdom in my opinion is very close to being a fantastic park! But dinoland is crap. All they need to do is re-theme it to South America and retheme the dino ride to Indiana Jones. This is a no brainer!! And they already have that train that kinda goes to nowhere. At the end of the train, you should enter a Zootopia Land. It's literally a movie about Animals!! Hollywood Studios is also not that far off from being great. Just needs upgrades to older rides and lands. Honestly, if they would retheme Star Wars land from Sequel Series to even the Mando-verse it would be huge. Lastly, that leaves Magin kingdom. Now that Tron is complete, I would leave this park alone until everything else is finished/upgraded. Then, they can do that backlot expansion beyond the rivers of america. I mean its this...or a 5th gate...or LOOSE out to Universal.
Hi David, What I don't understand is why have block out dates for the highest key? And Inspire should have more reservations allowed. Really would like to see whole reservation system gone. It's gone in Florida, isn't it? I don't feel appreciated at all as MKH. Love Disneyland though, not the operations part.
The reason is that Disney got sued for claiming a pass had no blockout days, even though it didn’t.
Because of the suit, all passes now have some sort of restriction.
WDW Reservations stop Jan 1, they are still using them. And a 2pm Park Hopper Rule!
@@cheerfulcupcake Theme park reservations are required to enter a theme park through January 8, 2024. Beginning January 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets. For other admission types, theme park reservations may be required.
Hey David, any cotino updates? It's been a long time since the last one. Thanks!
still just dirt.
oh ok, thanks! @@freshbakedpresents
I got the survey as well. I kind of wonder what they will do with the data. I really wish they’d get rid of the penalty for no show on a reservation. No one can plan for an emergency. I also feel that they need to do more for key holders, like special nights, not just merchandise and random food offerings.
Hey David, I think you may have uploaded to the wrong channel again 😅. But keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see the treehouse finished finally!
Interesting show. Thanks for the updates! I appreciate your insight on these topics. Fresh Baked!
Thank you for watching!
Dave, I agree the Live Wire movie may be a shot at Disney, but what if they do make a live version of Snow White that pays homage to the original in a live format? That could do well.
Hi David you tube channel Love my favorite Disneyland Park one fan Big Mary Christmas 🎄☃️❄️🎶🏰💖💖💖💖💖
Agree we bought the believe key but we’re letting it expire in November because of the price hike
We need a pool. 4th from the left is Grumpy. The guy in front of him looks Sneezy. I am going second in, in blue, as Doc. Green hat as Dopey. Aragon in the back is Bashful. Happy is happy cause they put him in a fro. That leaves our leader. He is only leading because he is looking for a place to Sleep.
Paid full price for (4) tickets into DCA..... SUPRISE, forced to leave park at 6:00pm because of Oogie Boogie Bash. No prorate price or perk for some other time. People w/o park hoppers didn't have fallback to go over to DL. RIP OFF!
BUMMER we’re there tue 3 days before the 10th. Maybe we’ll get a preview of that at small world holiday. Our believe key is blacked out that day. Ding dang.
Wow, Disney opened a tree house. In that time, Universal has almost completed a whole new theme park. I've lost interest in a tree house. I want to immerse myself into a new Universe.

Not saying you are… only saying that I look at the bright side of things.
Have an EPIC time.
Hi David. Your same reasoning can be applied to Disney as it concerns what their motivations are in such a drastic departure of Walts first motion picture? I recognize you try to walk a fine line as both a Disney fan and critic. But we both know what's happening here. The Disney Co. has been compromised by a younger generation of idealogues who wish to rebrand Walt's vision. They're blinded to what fans of Disney want and it's destroying their brand. Thanks for all your work and content.
Survey questions answered 100% same as i would. Freshbaked is a better Disneyland.
You called it when you filmed the large number of workers last week!
Thanks for another informative, fun video. I agree that the reservation system has failed me! I go less even though I have a top tier pass. This has made me reconsider if I want to renew. Because of the limitations of reservations, I have found myself looking at other ways to use my time. Sad to say....The reservation system has weaned my frequency to go to Disneyland. So Sad because I Love Disneyland!
I never had problems getting a revsion every time I got one no problem
Was that for planned and planned visits?
Heck yassssssss we will be there the 12th on Dapper day. Hope to meet you and Liz in person.
Hi David. We are excited about the opening of the Tree House. When we saw the possible "7" dwarfs, we are stunned. They are not dwarfs, so, actually, it looks like the story has been altered to fit in today's society and we are not sure how we feel about that. Yet, we are trying to keep an open mind about it. Who knows, it might be okay. Thanks for the updates! ❤Bizebeegranny Jeanne and Dave Rose ❤️
I am as well. the photo is confusing, to be sure. But Disney is very good at telling stories. Let's hope that hasn't changed :)
Disney ruining another classic.
They really missed a chance to name the gift shop "Buy and Large" >.>
but buy and large was the reason for all that garbage, no?
@@freshbakedpresents True, but what a chance to advance the story! a small monitor running a commercial about how they have cleaned up their act? I dunno. :D
I’ve been under the impression that DW is trying to offer a version of Snow White that represents the values of its core audience, since the Disney version seems like it will not. I’ve heard that so far what DW has created is very good, so I have high hopes for their Snow White.
David lowkey pressed that the Daily Wire (Conservative Company) is trying to do their own version of Snow White but yet other companies did the same thing ex Warner Bros.
I really wish they would include Genie+ in the inspire magic key and just charge more overall. Actually getting rid of genie plus would be even better. WE get res roughly 60% of the time we want one. charge more on the inspire pass and give us back the entire year no blackouts. Stop the reservation system for the inspire key. I'm ok with paying more if i get more. But they are giving us less and charging more--its like they are punishing their customers
when they talk about offering things we want, that is something. They gave MaxPass to Sig pass holders back in the day. They should do the same for inspire. Or offer a year long a la carte option.
I love Disney but it took a looooooong time for the tree house to open. smh I am afraid we wont see Fantasmic to be back up.
I don't think i ever want to go back to Disney. My mom offered to take me and i begged for us to go at the end of November when the tickets are $134 because i wanted to make sure the Christmas decorations were done since I've always wanted to go during Christmas time. My mom wanted to go on the 15th when the tickets were cheaper. I convinced her of the later date and then afterwards i found out her favorite ride would be closed. I switched the tickets to the 15th for her, but Disney refused to refund the $60 in exchange for the lower price tickets. Now my mom is mad at me. Also the people on the phone were very rude to me and actually made me cry. The first people were nice, but when they transferred me to their supervisors they were so mean. We're going anyways because of the money that was spent, but i can't even see myself enjoying my time there. I don't want to support a company like this.
I've had this survey four times in past year
I honestly thought next year 😮
Disney would have to close the hotel first to get away with calling it an opening.
Think so? Just watch…
Do you think the survey will encourage Disney to do away with the reservation system
no, probably not. I've seen survey's very much like this one before and here we are.
@@freshbakedpresentswhy did they get rid of it in Florida then after 2pm? Why do you think they haven’t done that here?
Shouldn’t this be on the main channel?
Hey Fresh Baked!!
At 400 million SW would need to make around 1 billion just to break even.
I think cost has finally arrived sterility. $100-150 a month PER PERSON a reasonable cost for a secure, family friendly, space with entertainment and rides?
Good for Dailywire!! Disney needs someone to help bring them back to what made them great and maybe just maybe the Dailywire will help be that push for Disney.
We’re suppose to be questioning DW motives about making a point over entertaining when Disney has turned that into their brand?
I hope they don’t take that chair out when they put in the Hatbox Ghost in at Disney World.
I agree with your views but Disney doesn’t own Snow White best of my knowledge. I would love the haunted mansion resteraunt
Not sure that I said disney owns snow white. DW couldn't make that movie if they did.
Disney's live action Snow White will bomb like many of their latest movies. Zeigler has poisoned the movie with her interview comments.
Pixar Place Hotel HAS to have the Pixar Ball or Lamp as the lobby feature...the plant in its place is nothing special.
I LOVE MAPLE!!!
I hate horror, love Disneyland version of Halloween..
DWs version of snow white will blow out Disney's version.
freshabked the same comments that you apply to the daily wire also applies to disney and the films they have been making as of late. i hope neither film betrays the original--it would be refreshing.
Disney had not only created a “sense of urgency” with the reservation.
More importantly, they’ve created a punishment system. The sense that you will LOSE your PAID privilege to go to the parks on a regular basis if you “change your mind” or if something comes up at the last minute, has made it so most of us WILL show up, rain or shine, sick or not.
There’s a reason why even the “slowest” periods we were used to pre-pandemic were now surprisingly always steady. Even in the rain.
Once you’re locked in… you’re locked in. And sadly, Disney is probably banking on that aspect.
yeah i don't understand this punish your customers aspect--its not very smart n the part of disney
yeah, that's a really dangerous model. but then...so much of waht they do suggests they don't actually LIKE annual passholders.
Express yourself 💃 hey hey!
From what I can tell about the Daily Wire's Snow White movie, yes... yes it was a pot shot at Disney... 100 percent... From what I can tell it's because it's because the Disney movie is too "woke"...
Yes indeed. Daily Wire is packed to the gills with far right wing personalities.
Even Snow White is just a family movie, so it's whatever - if they want to out-Disney Disney for the sake of it, fine.
But they also have this new children's programming service, and the way they market it is very... icky. Children's programming, above all else, has to come from a genuine place of wanting to educate, entertain, and pique the curiosity. But they have been explicitly marketing it as anti-Disney and anti so-called "woke". It instills no confidence they're getting into the business for the right reasons.
If you do some research, the daily wire one is based on the original fairytale, not Disney’s. That’s why her hair is long and such. It’s not meant to be a replica of Disney’s 1937 film.
@@dochocsonConservative, yes. Far right wing is hyperbole. Especially when one of the principles of the company is Jewish.
It's backed by ben shapiro, its going to be a very.... "dry" movie, lol
18:00 I'm looking forward to the new TH-cam channel "Fresh Baked Planet Fitness"
Where is this supposed survey? Been a pass holder for years… YEARS and they NEVER send us stuff on the regular!, even emails.
Do you think a boycott of LL would do anything? Like if all the influencers and guests participated in a LLstrike?
So, you want to know if 5 or 6 people (out of the thousands who happily use the service on a daily basis) boycotting a service that they probably didn’t use anyway, would make a difference?
No. No it wouldn’t.
@@WindowtotheMagic Ugh, you again. You’re the worst. I was asking David, not you.

Ive been boycotting it since the beginning. quite vocally. hasn't made a damn bit of difference.
Is DW claiming to be doing a live action adaptation of the DISNEY Snow White?
Or are they just making a movie of the story that pre-dates the Disney company by over 100 years?
Not being sarcastic, I legitimately don't know.
well Disney doesn't own the rights to the Snow White story, so DW can make any kind of snow white movie they want really.
BentKey provides a return to traditional family programming. Disney has been spending far too much on films with big name stars and politically motivated story lines & characters. I love the parks and the Star Wars universe, but not so much some of the new stuff.
Marvel Land is absolutely useless... except a a good shortcut between lands.
FRESHBAKED is DISNEYLAND!!!
shoot!!! Second to post. So close...
Reservations do need to go away. I like knowing I will have a spot when I get there but it's causing too many restrictions on people. Just let it go Disney.

who are Peter and Kitra
They are from Ordinary Adventures 😊
I think Daily Wire is trying to invoke the CLASSIC Snow White. And personally I Think Rachel is just cringe and seems to not even enjoy working on this classic story. I'm a huge Disney gal, but I have no interest in seeing her portray Snow White. And let's be honest the Dwarves were the HEROES of this movie, not having them is a huge miss.
They just need to make a great movie. Lil. Mermaid was much better than I thought it would be. Not a great movie like Barbie, but a good movie. For $400 it has to be great. It's going to be the same story, stories never change, with modern characters. What you should be doing is trying to match the qualities to the cast. Does anyone look sleepy?
it used to be that Disney could make that extra $400 million just by being a disney production. same for marvel. a $400 million movie turns into an $800 million movie. that is no longer the case.
Why are people acting like the daily wire is the only company trying to compete with disney? Have you people never heard of dreamworks animation?
it's not simply about competition. the question i'm asking is about DW's motivation to making a snow white movie knowing that Disney is making one as well. Is dream works making a snow white movie?
Universal just holds no interest to me, doubt I will ever go to the one in Florida, it just lacks the Disney charm to me. I’ve only been to the one in California twice and have no desire to go back really and I live in California.
I bet bent keys Snow White will be wildly popular
what was Disney's reason to make the live action snow white that doesn't have dwarfs? Disney has lost me on their movies.
fairly good question.
@freshbakedpresents3446 David and Liz another great video as always. would love to see you do another analysis of how disney parks and ESPN are the only things keeping disney alive right now. disney is under 80 and no dividend. lowest in nearly 10 years.
Haunted mansion images all say rendering, not real
It wasn't a soft opening. It was open during construction 🙄
I hope the hostile takeover succeeds. I hope Snow White loses a shit load of money. LOL, In no universe does Disneys Snow White girl look anything like Snow White.
Shouldn’t you be turning yourself over to police instead on being on here making moronic comments??
When Disney started inserting their “not so secret” political agendas into children’s content it opened the door for an alternative. Good on DW
So far right propaganda is more appropriate to indoctrinate children rather than watching Disney movies that are trying to be more inclusive?
@@Eric-et5hw Dint waste any effort trying to reason with the conservatives. They’re not interested in logic.
Just got back from a trip to DL. Here's the good, the bad and the ugly in our opinion....
GOOD:
Haunted Mansion Halloween theming is amazing!
Mickey & Minnie Runaway Railway story, theming and effects are perfection!
Those (fewer these days, sadly) stellar cast members that make the visit special.
Frozen Mocha at Ghirardelli in DCA. Yum.
Beautiful monorail train decorations.
DCA nighttime Halloween lighting.
Mobile ordering.
BAD:
Double-wide Strollers
Over-hyped Mickey 'Pumpkin' cupcake. (plain vanilla cake with orange icing)
Worn, sadly outdated, tired bathrooms in Disneyland Hotel room.
Too many attractions 'down' at same time. Ticket prices should be reduced accordingly.
Having to use cell phone so much to survive in the parks.
Spotty cell phone/DL App operation.
No pumpkin pie anywhere.
No pumpkin beneigts.
No place to sit when having Mickey Beneigts and Mint Julips. All tables are for Tiana's Restaurant now.
Mostly bored, unhappy looking cast members operating rides.
Price of plain bottled water is too high.
Too much alcohol now in DL.
Miserable LA/Anaheim traffic to get to the parks.
UGLY:
Rude and reckless EV riders (mostly just obese, not ill)
Cast members giving directions in rude tones of voices.
Being forced out of DCA at 6:00pm because of Oogie Boogie Bash. Tickets should have been prorated.
Not being 'allowed' to use luggage carts at DL Hotel.
Window drapes and bed headboards incredibly dusty in DL Hotel room! Opening drapes triggered allergy sneezing.
Not being able to see the nighttime Villains light show in Redwood Creek (DCA). Only for Oogie Boogie Bash.
Gay couples in excessive PDA's with no regard to little kids around.
Your personal attitude towards obese and gay people made the list. Cool.
Disney is in a spot right now they want to get rid of the season pass altogether so they created the reservation system and changed it to magic keys in hopes that people would stop buying the passes. Unfortunately their greed has caused them to raise ticket food and merch prices making the passes with their discounts more appealing. Im currently paying around $120 a month for my pass and i go twice a month compared to paying close to $170 for one day without discounts. Disney is creating their own problems they cant get rid of the pass system its a amusement industries standard and would hurt them publicly. But they also cant punish pass holders who are paying for this exact service were giving them a year of business guaranteed whether we go often enough to make back what were paying in were locked in thats merch sales food sales guaranteed within a healthy margin. The greed is really getting to the company and it makes me sad.
Agree, they need to get back to basics, get new management, and with coming hyper inflation it is going to rough.
Disney did the same thing in 08 right before the GFC (economic crash) They were adamantly trying to force APs out of the parks. It was the same argument then as it is now. "To many APs come in and ruin the experience for once in a lifetime/once a year guest" They forget that it is actually the AP that comes in and spends $100 on food every month and not the once a year person that comes in a spends $200 for food and merch that keeps the lights on. This is why you keep hearing the per guest spending brought up during the conference calls. They are not looking at the per year total from an AP only each visit.
Universal is going after Disney in the long term. They know, not as many kids go now becuase it is too expensize. More kids went in the 70s 80 and 90s because it was affordable and we all go as adults now. Well, Disney is not going have a surplus of adults like usin 20 years. I think Disney is on a slow downward trend to being second to Universal unfortunately.
Stor...e.... Disney's creative bankruptcy at work.
I love it :)
I know lol!!!.... I agree however about not feeling appreciated as a magic key holder. Also, seein you on mainstreet the other day, in real life, made my daughters trip lol. Much love from PHX!

It’s hilarious that DW is trying to actually compete with Disney out of spite. I don’t think creativity is fueled by the junk they fester in.
It's a Toy Stor-e
🙌
The new snow white isn’t a one off from the daily wire. DW created an entire children’s entertainment media company called Bentkey, and has several shows. This is just their first movie and they even said they were inspired by Disney (Walt not the company) to do snow white. Their whole thing is making stuff without any political messaging for kids. It’s a lot more of a threat to the disney company than you might expect.
The very fact of the film's existence _is_ political.
@@kerrizor okay 🙄
@@LucasCastleman Go ahead and roll your eyes and try to minimize it, but TDW fed the white nationalist flames against Disney repeatedly; they're only a step removed from Prageru when it comes to white nationalist propaganda for kids. That's all this "film" is - an attempt to bilk the racist rubes who want to "make the libs cry" by funding this latest scam.
Yeah, ok. Way to neuter the full story.
Daily Wire is a far-right conservative political company who strongly believes that gay people should lose the privilege of being able to get married, strongly opposes women’s rights of abortion and that Christianity should be part of public curriculum. They are making a mock-piece THEY deem fit, because they’re mad that Rachel Zegler has some Hispanic descent.
Their stuff is as “message-free” as creating “him” and “her” chocolate bars and selling them for $25 because they were mad Hersheys had a measly candy wrapper that celebrated pride month.
They’re not “message free” in the slightest.
DW does an about-face on their content constantly. In one breath they'll say its not political, and in the next they'll say they're making it in opposition to their political opponents, e.g. Disney. Even if the content itself is politics free, they'll take every opportunity to brand it as a safe haven from ideas some people don't like and don't want to think about.
