Finally made it over here. The type of Disney Nerd that implores you to watch "Mars and Beyond" or will wax poetry on how amazing "That Darn Cat" is.

Ebert's greatest strength was that he knew that it was perfectly OK to enjoy a "bad" movie just as much as it was OK to not like a "good" movie. Ebert also understood that while did need to take his reviews seriously, reviewing movies wasn't the most serious thing in the world.

I frequently disagreed with Ebert. But he was a good writer, and he made it easy to enjoy his reviews even if he was clearly wildly wrong. Again? The point of a critic is not to be “right.”

AMEN TO THIS CMs have so much more insight into their areas and attractions. There's a lot to learn from them. Honestly, the biggest issue I would want to fix is actually fixing the communication pipeline between Imagineering, Park Ops, and Frontline CMs.

Honestly, if I were Josh stepping in as Disney’s new CEO, I’d start by listening to frontline CMs and operations before implementing anything from Imagineering.

After watching through these Disneyland POVs on Disney+, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t immediately do this for every ride they close. Having a POV the WDW Rivers of America or Dinosaur would legit rule if we can’t have them in the parks.

When we were in Disney World two weeks ago, we also went to say goodbye to Mama Melrose. Was surprised at how delicious the meal was! Highlights were the giant mozzarella sticks and the hot honey pizza, as well as one of better meat sauces I’ve had! Plus it was fun to explore the place too!

It does kinda stink that we're never gonna get Muppet*Vision in a theme park again. Having said that, if Disney's gonna record it for Disney+, they should do this for all closing rides. Give me a POV of Dinosaur when it closes, and a full Rivers of America tour. (I've been saying this since 2006!)

It’s really starting to hit home that my last time seeing Muppet*Vision in a theme park was two weeks ago. It remains a Top 10 Theme Park Attraction of all time, and possibly a Top 3 Muppet Production ever. I don’t think I’ll ever be fully able to explain what it means to me.

The further we get into this "Disney Remake" era, the more respect I get for David Lowery for just choosing to strip Pete's Dragon to its most basic elements and make a completely unique and different story out of it. (And a better one than the original, but that's just my opinion...)
