      There’s ALOT of similarities that I figured Universal had to at least been inspired by that theme park somewhat (Resort/Hotel INSIDE the park, cohesive and DETAILED themed lands, GROUND BREAKING and ORIGINAL attractions (Doneky Kong Coaster, giant dueling coaster that will rival any in Orlando).

Those properties raised the bar and changed the competitive landscape of Las Vegas and Epic Universe seems like it is going to change the landscape.

    You are SO right Brayden. The comment when you said people are paying thousands of dollars to come to Disney for a once in a lifetime trip and end up waiting in lines hours and hours for nothing! I am a travel agent and I had a family of 9 there this week and they waited 5 hours for FOP and didn’t even get to ride cause their kids were tired of waiting so they got out of line. It’s ridiculous. No Genie + because it was either sold out or they didn’t want to pay for it 9 times per person would be insane. So I get it. But, yes Disney needs to at least do a virtual queue during the most crowded holiday weeks

    Sad to hear Disney losing Imagineer talent. Dollywood actually brought in a retired Imagineer (Patrick Brennan) to oversee the development of Wildwood Grove and he did an absolutely wonderful job with that whole area. Its crazy that you can see the Disney hints in that land. You also reported on that Midwest park project the rich Pizza Hut guy is trying has apparently brought on a bunch of former Imagineers. Haven't heard a thing about that project in quite a while though.

      Disney's Imagineers are leaving Disney and leaving to make it's competition better. American Heartland is doing with Imagineering what Don Bluth did with Disney's animation department.
      American Heartland is expected to open in fall 2026. But there isn't much to say about Epic Universe right now while it's still being constructed either. And you don't have many park bloggers living in Texas to cover that construction.

    I love the channel because you can tell Brayden LOVES Disney World AND he’s truly worried about the direction of the parks.
    This is exactly how I feel. After 20 years, finally let our annual passes go in September. Not because of politics or even prices-we let them go because the park experience has become difficult (Park reservations), stressful (being awake, on Genie and stressing at 6:59 AM), inconvenient for families with older kids (no late night hours) and STALE.
    Even when Disney tries new things (Moana, Tiana, etc.), they consistently underwhelm.

    on my most recent visit in September 2023, the low level of maintenance was shocking. But not only that. Landscaping was being ignored as well.

      Where I work they have replaced people who do floor cleaning with a robot. It can not complete a night without multiple prompts and assistance. Which cost the physics staff time and energy. No saving less actual results.

    • @user-li2yv5je5e
      @user-li2yv5je5e 4 месяца назад +1

      I've found Animal Kingdom to be the best maintained. The biggest issue I find is that the landscaping in Pandora is not being properly maintained. You can hear (and even see) the bus stop from the River Journey line because the bamboo has thinned. Also, the fake alien plants don't get cleaned nearly as often as they need it.
      The other parks, though... EPCOT is alright, but Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios have some severe issues with damaged paint, building cracks, broken pavement, and even structural failures like the facade that collapsed. I've even heard people commenting on the Tower of Terror line thinking it was just poorly maintained rather than themed. The problem with that comment is that unlike complaints Disney won't stop the rain, I can see where it's coming from. The fake broken down Hollywood Tower Hotel is increasingly looking like the rest of the park.

I have been a LIFELONG passionate Disney fan for my 39 years, and I have seen the last days of Eisner (who took the reins the year I was born) the last days of Chapek, and hopefully Iger for the 2nd time. Disney CEO’s always start strong and finish awfully. I think we need an entire clean slate this time. All the leadership concern themselves with is running Disney solely as a business. Most of them don’t even refer to Disney related terminology, attractions, and characters correctly half the time. It’s so frustrating. There needs to be a balance of creative people who act as the ambassadors of the culture, history, and lore and business people who write the checks and balance the budget.

    I’m glad you pointed it out, Brayden - yes Disney will gladly build more hotels and increase capacity, but then not build more stuff for them to do. Instead do the opposite and close stuff or just retheme. So wait times are ridiculous, imagine waiting 5 and a half hours for a single 1-2 minute attraction (basically watching a screen on a bike). Nuts! No, Disney, those bushes and benches in Epcot aren’t occupying the increased attendance.

Now entering in the new year now I’m joining Disney Cruise Line which at least the cruise industry is completely thriving as I continue working for the Walt Disney Company. I don’t what the future holds for the Domestic Disney Parks but with Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust we will always find a way. As soon those executives get those wake up call they will have to withdraw all the money whether they like it or not to put more expansions to the parks.

    You do the best you can with what Disney gives you to work with…which is nothing. You are absolutely right. They keep adding rooms to house bodies, but give no thought to what those bodies are going to do or where they’re going to go once they leave their absurdly priced resorts.
    Thank you for your honest opinions and up to date information.

    Completely agree with your position. I was bawling 10 years ago because I was afraid I wouldn't get back to Disney. I now have NO. Desire to go to Disney.
    I work for a company that is trying to bleed the brand dry before closing is and it seems to be the way Disney is going. It is soul crushing to think that is what is happening.

    Thank you Brayden for Speaking out. I'm a Big Disney Fan-Grew up under the Esiner Era. I'm really tired of the mess that some who were at the top created in 2020. I can't even imagine what was like being a 1st time visitor or just a simple family of 4 going to WDW during Christmas & New Years.
    Disney Needs to get their Act Together soon. Because Universal is getting ready to take that #1 Spot as far Parks & Resorts.
    That is why I'm going to choose a Disney Cruise over going to Walt Disney World this year. It's less easier to plan.
    I'll take the Experience I had in 2018 over what it's like there currently.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, Brayden. I have to say... there was a time when I went to Disney at least twice a year. I basically ate, slept and dreamed about Walt Disney World. But about a decade ago, that love began to fade. Now, for the first time in a few years, I'm planning a trip to WDW. Honestly, it's no my choice, but rather a family decision. Also for the first time, maybe ever, I'm not at all excited. The planning has become more of a chore than a joy. There's nothing new or exciting that I'm looking forward to experiencing. I dread the crowds and lines. Honestly, my plan is to send the family to the parks - God speed! - and relax at the Boardwalk resort. I'm hoping things will go better than I anticipate, but that hope is minimal at best. I have loved Disney with all my heart for decades and am deeply saddened by what's happening. That said, I look forward to every single one of your broadcasts. I learned long ago that you can love something and still be critical of it. Ask any parent. lol Keep doing what you do, because as far as I'm concerned, nobody out there is doing critical thinking and commentary with regards to Walt Disney World better.

    Out of all the news today, I think the Country Bear upgrade is the most exciting. The least exciting is the thought that Pecos Bills will be re-themed. I love that place. And I remember my kids enjoying that Splash Mountain play area when they were small. It was a great place for parents to get out of the sun, too! I will be very sorry to see that go.

    Universals current moves and concrete future plans are sweeping the floor with Disney and it’s so sad, but also exciting to see Universal hitting peak performance. So goes the company, so go the parks. Still hard to believe they’ve ruined the most popular ride at Magic Kingdom. That’s like the coach cutting his star quarterback after he’s helped win multiple seasons for your team for zero reason.

    Thank you so much, Brayden, for your passion and determination to hold Disney to account for its bad decisions and stupid moves. Maintenance! Walt would be so disappointed, as he wanted his parks to be seamless experiences, with nothing disrupting the illusion and the fantasy! Creatives leaving for greener pastures! Aren’t cast members and enthusiastic employees the heart of the company? Iger loves the sports component, which means nada to me. Why are they hanging onto underperforming and difficult-to-manage business components when they should focus on excellent movies and parks? Get back to basics.

I was riding Pirates at Disneyland Saturday and was thinking when will Disney bring us something original again. Enough with the movie tie-ins! A movie’s popularity fades over time but an original idea can flourish! The management is letting WDW stay in the past. There is soo much that can be done to restore the magic to the parks and return to that distinctly Disney touch!! Hope it returns soon. ☹️
