Another great option at Universal is The Kitchen at Hard Rock Hotel. Lots of fun options there.

Universal has Breakfast with The Grinch, one of the best meet-n-greet characters in the history of theme parks. Disney has Dinner with a Santa that looks like he was designed by Martha Stewart.
You know where you'll find me.

Love Glen Powell and love football but put off watching CHAD POWERS because it looked like some saccharin sweet G-rated show made for kids.
Two episodes in and it is definitely NOT that. In fact no parent should ever let their young kid watch the first episode. Enjoying the series.

Yesterday's mid-day wait times at the Magic Kingdom were the highest we've seen since February 18 - President's Day week.

That's one of the 5 busiest days in 2025 so far - all of them have been 8's on our crowd calendar.

The last 10 at Magic Kingdom was March 25, 2024 - Spring Break.

1 to 10 crowd calendar ratings showing 8 out of 10 at Magic Kingdom, 3 of 10 at EPCOT, 3 of 10 at Hollywood Studios, and 2 of 10 at Animal Kingdom.

Funny part is it seems movie is only happening because of Jared Leto wanting it to. Reminded me of The Office when they told the Michael Scott Paper Company their prices were too low. "Our prices are the only thing keeping us in business." "Your prices are what's going to put you out of business."

I'd be believe anything, they were both bad moves. The "idea" of Tron is so much better than actual Tron. The Tron merchandise and video games I think are much better than the movies.

I don't swear by RT either but a good indication things *might* not be good. I thought "there's no way Eternals, Morbius, Madame Web and Kraven can be *that* bad." Nope, they were and they earned those RT scores.

"not boring" is my expectation and Tron: Legacy did not succeed for me in that area.

Wow Tron at 57% and the number is only going to drop from here. Who saw this coming, other than everyone outside of Disney fanboys? Looks unwatchable.

Only two of the 125 houses in my neighborhood decorated for Halloween and they both used the “witch flying her broom into a tree” gimmick.

Part of my haul this week was a facsimile edition of NEW FUN COMICS, the first ever comic published by DC. Has all the old ads and even an Oswald the Rabbit strip for modern day theme park fans.

I'd follow him anywhere.

Cute dog, probably the cutest you've ever seen, looking ahead at the future that awaits.

No, I think they wanted to make the point that even our world - which in comparison to theirs is a ball of sunshine - turns out pretty bad people as well.
