Disney isn't getting Fox News, FS1/other sports, or syndicated Fox. They are getting FX Networks, Nat Geo, Hulu, Alien, fuckin Home Alone, Die Hard, Marvel stuff, Avatar, a trillion other things, Family Guy, King of the Hill and The Simpsons. They own it all now.

Disney is far less interested in currently running TV shows, especially The Simpsons in terms of the creative direction but rather syndication payments via the Fox stuff they don't own and merchandise royalties. Plus really all of this is just to have an insanely massive portfolio when they launch their streaming service next year, which Hulu very well might just become at this point.

I do wonder how far they're going to go in terms of disguising the food, since almost every food and beverage item created for Star Wars has no real world analogue beyond vague similarities (like bantha instead of beef, or "caf" instead of coffee).

The Death Star burgers and stuff at HS were a cute way of doing it. Just themed stuff. Satuli in Pandora is also a good way of handling it.

I mean, Pandora exists in the "real world" still so you could conceivably see human foodstuffs like chicken and fish in addition to Pandoran. Star Wars literally doesn't have an animal called a chicken, or a drink called Fireball cinnamon whiskey.

My guess is they'll have the Star Wars name and then just put the actual identity of everything in small letters right below it.

Yeah it'll be stuff like this but probably even more themed and further from traditional food (that's what I mean by the Satuli bowls - familiar foods served in new ways).

At the Christmas party right now. Just watched the parade and we had some nice spots against the rope we got about twenty minutes before the start. With two minutes to go some grandma gets her four 3-5 year old kids to crawl up to the rope and sit on my shoes. Couldn’t move my legs at all without hitting a kid for the whole parade while grandma just says the occasional half assed sorry from behind. I like Magic Kingdom but it seems to attract the worst people. Parade still rocked though.

Yeah, you basically need to make the ground around you as inaccessible as possible to prevent that. My wife and I took to just straight up sitting on the ground right up to the line then standing when the parade actually starts. It also helps that she does a good death glare.

Yeah I feel bad because they’re kids but the madness needs to stop somewhere. They also need to ban older kids from being used to push double wide strollers with younger siblings and require scooter users to demonstrate basic competency because boy that got dumb towards the end of the evening. Excited for Galactic Nights tomorrow!

On the one hand I feel you but on the other hand they are 3-5 year old kids who would not have been able to see the parade if they hadn’t done that and isn’t Disney World kinda built for them?

Oh you’re totally right, we even squished in as a family to let some folks in before this. But kids literally crawling around my legs and on my shoes is just a little much, if I moved my legs at any point during the parade I would have hit a kid which is not a fun feeling.

Two Sumatran tiger cubs were born a few months ago at Disney World. They went into their habitat for the first time this week and I was there to take pictures:

Just know if you are going to go see them soon that they are currently only out in the mornings. They go in around noon so they don't get over stimulated.

Ugh I didn’t see that they extended Splash Mountain refurbishment into February. It originally was through November, then changed to January. My wife and I go on our honeymoon early/mid February and it’s by far her favorite ride. She’s gonna be so sad if it’s closed when we’re there.

It's actually open right now. It did open in November, but it will go down a second time in January for it's traditional winter refurb. (Most water rides will go down in January since it's chillier here)

This is going to be my first Jan trip, and I'm super bummed at the refurbs.... the crowds had better make it worth it

e: Hey Disney, I super appreciate you extending MK operations by ~5 hours a few days I'm there, but now I have to rearrange all my plans, and it fucks my reservations and fastpasses.

WHY! Why make this huge change a month ahead of time? Were you not aware of it >60 days before?
