I would like to see better benefits for resort guests.
Disney needs to open up 1900 park fare now
Now they just need to bring back delivering souvenirs to rooms on property. Still there are some wins here for sure.
Great move by Disney amending their lawsuit since DeStupid can’t keep his criminal, moronic, fascist mouth shut. Only in Floriduhh!
Great about no reservation, but what about park hopping restrictions? Remove those and I might not feel like the guest is accommodating the service provider.
😜 Every day the DeSantis vs Disney news gets just a little bit stranger than the day before. 🤐Let him keep talking…making Disney legal team very happy. 😆
I’m sure the fact that WHO announced officially the pandemic is over didn’t hurt either since now they don’t have that excuse to use.
Maybe Disney should've stayed neutral and stay out of politics. This all could've been avoided.
retaliatory or not, he's not the one in the hotseat here. DISNEY is, the ones who have a graveyard of skeletons to keep hiding is them. And Iger too didn't know to stop talking. But legally, Disney's suit is baseless and would fail under Florida law, and that's why they're attempting a Federal court (which has NO jurisdiction), and in a different state. They know they're wasting time.
The theory is they're trying to run the clock on Desantis's term, because it's DISNEY that is poised to not only lose, but lose A LOT MORE than they think they will.
Damn I just booked my trip for the end of 2023 and I got excited for a second 😂 Oh well, at least it’ll start feeling a little more like Disney again with them backing off some of this stuff/ dining plan coming back
This what I don’t get about the Republicans who are on DeSantos’ side still. I don’t see this as Ronny fighting for going woke. I see this as a Company had a differ opinion than the senator and the senator is destroying them for it. Why would any corporation CEO want to take that chance with a Senator like that? It’s lgbt politics now, but what if it’s something those companies believe at some point that DeSantos is against? He has a history of coming after the biggest of companies in the US, if not the world. What will it take to go after their companies if he has a hurt feeling one day?
Glad to see the beginning of the dismantling of the reservation system, but there are still so much Chapek era lesions to be removed, most notably, the horrendous Genie+. For what Disney charges, the "free" fast-pass needs to return to the parks, as well as Disney's Magical Express for guests staying on site. Disney needs to show a little appreciation for their guests, because there are a lot more options than there used to be for family vacations. Oh, and F*CK DeSantis.
Plug into an islands power grid to increase their emissions for electricity generation. Insane all and all there is nothing gained It’s just a game companies are playing
8:50 – Have you watched Legal Mindset’s coverage of this? He used to do special district law in Florida. Seems like Disney is the one that needs to be careful. They keep pushing. Maybe they need to stop talking. I think that this whole situation was unnecessary and unfortunate. Disney should never have started this down this path and now THIS will be Iger’s legacy… opening the company up to further suits and costing them countless dollars.
Fart
Having guests be able to make their genie plus reservations ahead of time….oh, you mean like fast passes were minus the extra cost???
I hope there are plans to put an Avengers Campus in Orlando.
Finally watched one of your videos again because I figured it would be a full episode on the new announcements….without political talk. Sadly, I was mistaken. The whole Disney vs DeSantis stuff is getting old. 👎🏻
Apparently people can't stand the truth. Get rid of these disgusting men dressing up as women at Disney. It's revolting.
I just found out that dvc members will not be able to get the Disney dining plan seriously another we don’t care about you dvc
DeSantis needs to decide weather he is going to run for president or either fight Disney and remain governor history teaches you can not fight a war on 2 fronts example hitler and the third rich either way he is will lose the fight Disney or trump he can’t fight both and expect to win
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that before they halted the DDP, the standard plan offered 1 table, 1 quick and 2 snacks that replaced the previous 1 snack and 1 dessert after parents complained about too many desserts. Looks like we lost a snack and im sure the price will be higher.
Now bring back the magic express.
Whoo, Disney Dining Plan! Did they downsize it or am I remembering wrong? I thought there were more snacks per day.
They can do this again because they are hitting their numbers not out of desperation.
Thank you for your updates, Tom.
We still have a few days remaining on “Never Expire” passes we purchased the last year they were available. I have a feeling we’ll probably be on the same guide as Annual Pass-holders regarding reservations.
Is it that hard for Bob to say alll Magic Hours should be for all resorts
This is Disney trying to recover from universal
Hooray for reservations going away!!!
Hope they stop detheming
Could you please clarify what you said about park hopping before 2:00?
Desantis is a min Putin..makes and changes rules to benefit himself…dangerous! Careful what you ask for Floridians!!
The reservation system was a grab in the air to try to look like they were doing something. ITS A JOKE ! and a horrible inconvenience to the guests.
di$ney did this to the guests on purpose.
Other places have the days scheduled when bookings are made. There are no park reservations. It is done when the booking is made with the number of guests tallied during the booking.
they fill the park through bookings and later by drive ups, and determined by the numbers buying tickets
After the max number of guests have bought tickets, the park is filled and they turn the rest away. What the heck was di$ney thinking???
There are no reseverations at these parks. It was never needed. It was just another bad idea that di$ney had and it has gone terribly wrong when guests come to the park from over seas and they cannot get in because they didn't get a reservation. Something that should have been done when they booked the trip and or when a walkup family bought tickets to the park. THAT is how it should be done.
Just another di$ney fiasco that is going to burn them.
If you have a ticket for say 7/22 it dosent mean your doing to a certain park they still gotta pick one so if everyone picks magic kingdom ya there’s gonna be a lot more, so reservations would still be good to see how many are going to any given park, if you have a park hoper ticket/ season pass ya you shouldn’t need to pick a park because they can assume all park to park will go to all parks
