🚨 EGG ALERT 🚨 The Abdim’s Storks have multiple eggs in their nest! A couple years ago when they lived in Dinoland, they hatched a baby boy stork. 🤞

With the standard Tree or Life trash cans completely replaced for The Oasis and Discovery Island, Asia is next.

The Tropical Americas main entrance structure has me HYPE! 💚 On the Nemo side, there seems to be a stone “ruins” archway entrance. This is the first automatic element I’ve seen while walking by.

The baby ankole cattle, 5 months old, has just started growing her horns! Her cute little neck wrinkles are too much 😍

Don’t try to link AI being used in creativity back to Walt. Offensive.

Here’s the Middle East War question. Hugh says: Forward bookings for WDW and DCL are healthy. Consumer weakness in China. Abu Dhabi is being designed with a long term view and we are fully committed to seeing it through. DCL fuel impacts are minimal due to hedges in place.

Josh cautions that investors should not be wary of the high number of US Park promotions. But don’t these erode margins compared to what they “should” be getting from the highest margin guests? A gentle balance I suppose.

Both Hugh and Josh have used the line that they’re performing better than the competition this morning on CNBC and on the earnings call. Highlighting that the attendance challenges Universal has faced have not Hurt Disney. 🪏

Wait on this call do they prerecord the answers to the questions since the questions are submitted early in the morning? The hard cuts of the white noise sounds like quick audio edits to me. Clever.

Feels like having Destiny and Adventure for the first full quarter in “Resorts and vacations” gave the boom. First split out of Consumer Products for the restructure.

Disney brags “global guests” increased 4% in Experiences. They’ve never provided a metric for “global guests” before. This is a response to questions over multiple Qs about softened international visitation to the US? 4% increase of a small number is still a small number.

Shoutout to my one true love Disneyland Paris for strong attendance growth “following the opening of World of Frozen”. Ummm how about the rest of the DAW extension? Ignoring that sweet Regal View profit again and again. Unreal.

US Park attendance is up 3% vs. PY Q3. Soooo many promotions occurred for this to work. Give us a QS dining discount with the top-tier AP at WDW please - we get it at DL and DLP. I’ll buy more.

Disney brags a bit about using AI tools to design and stress-test attractions, including for the Abu Dhabi park. So to all you fear-mongering tabloid “analysts”, sit down.

Disney calls the Mando updates to Falcon the “first-ever day-and-date attraction update” …indicating this could be a Parks strategy for more films in the future

New Summerween collection has me weak

Tinkerbell reminds you to see HEA before party season begins and it becomes cumbersome. Currently it’s easy to walk up 5 mins before to a prime location.

The star tunnel works so well because of the calming, down tempo synth BGM and the sound absorbing panels. It’s rare to find a queue space as calming as this. I hope this is preserved.

The new Black Bean Burger at Pecos Bill’s approaches being food. It’s wonderful to not have fake meat and there is a nice amount of heat from the chipotle ranch. Many will consider this spicy. It will arrive cold even fresh off the line, due to the cold coleslaw and sauce.

The new Pecos Bill’s churros are good - great for WDW. The chocolate sauce is pointless since it overpowers the cinnamon sugar. I was disappointed with how small and expensive they are since my basis for loop churros is Casa de Coco in Paris.

For me, it really subtracts from the grandeur and substance of the Flag Retreat to have prerecorded music instead of the Main Street Philharmonic.
