NEW: I’m on board with Disney breaking the rules of Galaxy's Edge, and like the changes. The big problem is they don't go far enough. Here's what's on my wish list for SWGE to live up to its promise: Starcruiser stuff, dinner show, overhead action & more! www.disneytouristblog.com/star-wars-ga...

Takeaways from my recent morning racing around Epic Universe during EPA. Definitely a big gamble starting with SNW, especially if you’re slow. This shares an easier & superior alternative. www.disneytouristblog.com/why-to-skip-...

There’s a golden window of opportunity for visiting Epic Universe right now, and id highly recommend visiting before it closes. Even if (*especially* if) you’re sitting on the sidelines waiting for APs. www.disneytouristblog.com/low-crowds-e...

After seeing the show in-person a couple of times, here's my take on the strengths & weaknesses of the new Walt Disney Audio-Animatronics show. (Plus my photos & video.) www.disneytouristblog.com/walt-disney-...

"Theme parks are not just the sum of their ride rosters, to be raced around and checked off one by one. They are as much defined by the spaces in between; by the absence of attractions, too." More here on why RoA matters: www.disneytouristblog.com/rivers-ameri...

Would love to be wrong about this, but I feel like there’s a bit too much frothiness over regional concepts & viewing pent-up demand as new normal, when it’s already clear it isn’t. Skeptical this is viable long-term. More thoughts: www.disneytouristblog.com/universal-ho...

My latest, which is basically just commentary about the excellent interview by @toddmartens.bsky.social and not the substance of the changes themselves. www.disneytouristblog.com/disney-conce...

Every other Walt Disney World fan is mourning the loss of Dino-Rama, calling it under appreciated or other such nonsense. And then there’s me:

Disney’s best theme park in the world is seeing a surge in 1-star reviews. Here are the biggest reasons why, and our recent experience that should serve as a cautionary tale for anyone visiting in the next year or so… www.disneytouristblog.com/tokyo-disney...

This is a shockingly good deal, with a big year-over-year price decrease (a rarity). Will be interesting to see the impact on crowds, and what other “levers” Disneyland pulls next year. www.disneytouristblog.com/ticket-disco...

No exaggeration, I look forward to the Turkeys all year. When something crazy happens, “instant Turkey” is the first thing I think. Burgan is not the hero theme park fans deserve, but the hero we need.(Except swap in Joker for hero.)

Opened this app for the first time in months (maybe a year?) and, holy cow, it’s not just alive but thriving?! Disney opinions and photos are what I do, here are a few recent ones.
