@wewamiller @JohnnyKJackson7 @NFL @Jaguars @fox35orlando The ring light setup and a room corner, I know it all too well. Here’s to more great coverage no matter where you call in from.

The @NFL is heading to Orlando! We are so excited to welcome the @Jaguars to The City Beautiful! Come join us tonight at 10pm on @fox35orlando as we discuss the impacts this will have on tourism all across Central Florida.

Views from the Beads Float at @UniversalORL, always a fun experience! There is just one final week of Mardi Gras.

@movieconomics Looks lovely!

Went for a morning stroll and found this cute little restaurant #LuckyFish A bit of Portofino here in Dubai!

@aakashgupta I wrote about this for visitors going to @SeaWorldAD / @yasisland back in 2023: attractionsmagazine.com/how-to-visit-a… 5 star hotels, private transport, characters visiting your kids for a VIP experience and still cheaper.

The math on this is correct and it makes Disney's pricing team look unhinged. Tokyo Disney adult ticket: $51 to $70 per day. Disney World: $109 to $169. A baseline Disney World trip for a family of four runs $7,400 in 2026, and that's before Lightning Lane, park hopper upgrades, or the $35/day parking fee. From Los Angeles, roundtrip flights to Tokyo are running $500 to $620 right now. The yen is trading at 155 to the dollar, the weakest it's been in decades. Food inside Tokyo Disney averages $40/person/day versus $60 at Disney World. Hotels near Tokyo Disney Resort start under $100/night. Disney World's value resorts start at $150 and climb past $350. Run the full trip. A family of four doing 5 nights and 3 park days at Tokyo Disney Resort lands around $5,000 all in from the West Coast. The same family at Disney World, staying on property with dining, is paying $7,400. That $2,400 gap buys you a bullet train to Kyoto, three days of the best food on the planet, and a story infinitely better than "we waited 90 minutes for Space Mountain in Orlando humidity." The reason this works is structural. Tokyo Disney Resort is operated by Oriental Land Company under a licensing deal. Disney collects royalties but doesn't set the prices. OLC optimizes for volume and repeat visitors. Disney Parks optimizes for per-guest revenue extraction. Two completely different business models applied to the same IP, and the gap has gotten wide enough that flying 5,400 miles is the rational economic decision. The real question is what happens when enough Americans figure this out that it stops being a secret.

@mmontuori @TheDCLBlog @theRCLblog Ok, so @TheDCLBlog if you decide to get the room I can take the couch and help you get some content. Just let me know when.

@TheDCLBlog @TharinWhite @theRCLblog I can definitely see this thing going for close to $100k

Ok.....how much will this cost for the week? Any bets?

@TheDCLBlog @mmontuori @theRCLblog 😳😳😳

@TharinWhite @mmontuori If @theRCLblog said the current ultimate family suites go for $75-$100K for a week……that’s going to be 🤑

@AshleyLCarter1 Gas is currently $4~, which is high. But it was near that in late 2024. Do you know if they added this surcharge any other time for similar services? (I’m scared this will be like SeaWorld’s never ending 5% inflation fee)

Mears Connect, which offers shuttle service to and from Orlando International Airport and the Disney World Resort area, is adding a 3% fuel surcharge to all reservations "until further notice."

@AttractionsMatt Very cool!

I’m lovin’ it.

@wewamiller @Leisure_TimeTV

Can @Leisure_TimeTV even keep up?!?

Saying 'Aloha to Summer' on FOX 35 with @GarrettFOX35 and @JohnnyKJackson7!

@ThemeParkDirk Solid points here

Crazy idea: What if somebody became the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, and as his first significant act, bought an animation studio? cinemablend.com/movies/absolut…

We counting this as a Mickey cloud for the opening of Disney Adventure World? Or nah

@Mousesteps Wonderful photos! That far-off view across the water really sells the “kingdom” look.

After years of riding Toy Soldier Parachute Drop for photos of World of Frozen & Adventure Way construction, I say each time I am in the new area that I cannot believe it is Disneyland Paris. The music is also wonderful on Adventure Way. #dlp #disneylandparis #worldoffrozen

@Themountainkin1 For Adventure World they have been very open with showing off their tech. Disney isn’t afraid to pull back the curtain, but it feels like this was seen as a great PR moment to showcase the water drones, animatronics and Olaf.

I don’t think Disney/ Imagineering has EVER shown a naked modern animatronic like this. Elsa’s skin and eyebrows look EXTREMELY realistic, it’s insane😵‍💫! (Source: Natoo)

Dear Americans, Owning an American car in Japan requires paying high taxes and being prepared to drive on narrow roads. Even so, we still choose American cars—because we truly love them.

@marg000 Oooh, get prepped to be sick again from tears

I was supposed to double feature hoppers and phm 70mm on thursday but hoppers made me cry so badly that I made myself physically sick so NOW I’m seeing phm 70mm

@Mousesteps As the new CEO of Disney (parent company of Modern Family’s ABC), while being in France, I think Josh needs to recreate this iconic scene because it’s all I thought about seeing him in jeans at DLP.

We ran into Josh D’Amaro at Starbucks in Disney Village today. It was nice to be able to congratulate him in person! (I ended up with a fractured ankle and sprained ankle during a fall this trip). #disneylandparis #dlp #dlrp

@AvengersUpdated @screenrant I have seen every single Marvel film in theaters since Iron Man 2. I will see Doomsday in theaters. I am more hype for Dune 3.

Audiences are more interested in seeing ‘AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY’ in theaters than ‘DUNE 3’, according to data analysts. (via @screenrant)

@Imagineer6 @wakefieldreport What an insane day that would be. And I bet 99% of guests had no clue.

@TharinWhite @wakefieldreport Under the table I heard the team lead had to group and dispatch, tower was there and they had an area manager at unload

Not having the 4-6 cast members it probably takes to run this attraction come in an hour early save Disney around $30,000/year. Extraordinary level of bean counting. Impressive.
