I'll go on a bit of a hotel rant because it's been a pet peeve of mine for a while since Disney started charging guests to park at the hotels they're paying to sleep in order to spend money in their shops, restaurants and theme parks.

Every dime I spend at a Marriott or Hyatt or Hilton, including parking, is counted towards my status. I get free breakfast, free bottles of water, upgraded suites, you name it. Disney gives you none of that.
They charge Ritz-Carlton prices for a Hilton product. 6 <c>

But if you're just going to get a Hilton experience in a Hilton style hotel then why are you paying Ritz Carlton prices? Honestly stay offsite, uber everywhere, pile up the points and get free trips out of the deal.
I sound angry but really it's just disappointment.

250 families of 4 could rent the entire Magic Kingdom for about $225 pp.
Put your group together and do that instead of paying for Fastpass.

If you follow me you know this was the breaking point for me staying on property. I wrote a letter to the President of WDW who called me with the “everyone else does it” response. I began listing all the benefits “everyone else does” that Disney doesn’t.
Awkward silence.
Everything about this Q&A for parking at Disney resorts is infuriating.
It's basically a sugar coated way of saying; we're doing it because everybody else is doing it and we're charging more at the more expensive resorts because we can.
Unless the Poly has fancier asphalt?

Corporate sponsorships and partnerships were a necessary means to an end at the parks when they were owned by a relatively small company and not <checks notes> the largest entertainment conglomerate in history.

People complain about how Fastpass ruined their parks experience but honestly the advent and expansion of the dining plan over the years has done far more to impact my park experience than Fastpass has.
The calculus of what's on the menu now is all driven by the dining plan.

So on the one hand you'd stay "in the magic" and everything was kind of seamless from the start to the end of your vacation.
It seems with each year each aspect of your vacation becomes more complicated and the resorts more vanilla and common.

BTW - the most offensive thing about the parking fee is "Well it's $15 if you're at a value resort but $20 if you're at a moderate but if you're a deluxe we think you can pay $25"
It's so capricious and arbitrary and offensive.

But for many years as Disney has made their hotels more like a Hyatt or Marriott or Hilton they don't offer any of the benefits you get staying at a Hyatt or Marriott or Hilton.
No points. No status. No free rooms. No free parking. Used to get a free airport shuttle.

So while there's executives and data saying "these hotel towers are what our guests want and they're best for us" it just chips away at what made the places unique and worth paying maybe a little more, without the benefits.

Bob Iger has been a terrible CEO for 10 years. Every choice he's made in the last decade has been wrong. Every change, every merger, every acquisition, every choice. Wrong. His chosen successor? wrong. His return? wrong.
He can't go (again) soon enough for me.
I want to hear your controversial Disney World opinion that would make most of DisTwitter angry.

Disney biopics/stories that better lend themselves to a film (that I want to see)
1) The unsolved murder of Yale Gracey
2) Roy O. Disney
3) DisneyWar: The 2003-2005 “SaveDisney” Campaign (this should be an HBO movie)
Walt Disney (the studio) is making a movie about Walt Disney (the person) and his journey to build Disneyland (the California theme park) for Disney Plus (the streaming platform).
