Saying Tiana's should have been Lion King in Magic Kingdom only shows the problem was in fact with Tiana and not with replacing Song of the South. Very telling.

For comparative purposes, I took a look at my own non-AP, non-Deluxe trips.
In Feb of 2020, we went on a Saturday to Thursday, stayed at POR, had a 6-day standard ticket, and the dining plan:
Package total: $3,761.04
Add parking: $125
Grand total: $3,886.04
For the same trip
How much more expensive is a WDW trip today vs. 2019?
For me/my family:
Genie+/LL +$2500
Food increases (and no TIW) +$1500
Transportation (no DME) +$600
Annual Pass increases +$850
Within a margin of error, it costs somewhere between $5,000 and $6,000 more today than 2019.

Still amazed at the amount of people who simply do not understand no expansions can happen at WDW until the lawsuits and Developer Agreement is resolved. If it isn't resolved by D23 this year, don't expect anything beyond concept - because they can't.

Further evidence that Peltz doesn't give a flip about the guest experience or Walt's vision. He is not the savior some think he is.
He certainly isn’t going to paint the castle...

IMHO, I think Imagineers should stop dreaming up things big in concepts. Forget about that notion that concept art is supposed to guide the tone and feel of the design. Just skip it - go straight to design. DisX cannot handle the nuance and it appears to break too many people.

As much as I prefer to see the federal case play out for constitutional reasons, I think Disney just wants their developer agreement in

This says a lot right here. I do not mean a DIS vs UNI thing, but as a barometer of where the market is. If $dis's prediction of a soft market is because of their own actions and pricing and not reflective of where theme park destination travel is overall, who is doing it better
Disney reported a huge increase in their parks division the last quarter. $DIS
+10% Revenue and +12% Operating Income
Compared to Universal's Theme Parks which saw only a +1.5% in Revenue and actually saw -3.9% in Operating Income.
