First time noticing gratuity is now an option at Universal Studios Hollywood. This was at Toadstool Cafe but we haven’t spotted this anywhere else in the park yet. #UniversalStudiosHollywood

I see DLR is out with more details about the LL replacing early park entry
I hate it so much. I could get through 4 fantasyland dark rides in that half hour (well, like 3 and in line for the 4th when the park opens). I could get through an E-Ticket and get in line for another E Ticket.

I know people out there are down on the room refurbs at WDW switching to the soulless "hardwood" floors.
But like.... the carpets are so gross.

I am loving the amount of The Emperor’s New Groove stuff coming out recently. Do we think there is any chance this will cause them to take the brand seriously?

Wait! You mean to tell me this is all about OIL?!?!?

I have an open recall on my car, so I decided to do the full service while it’s at the dealer, rotate the tires, give it the once over.
But it does not instill confidence in me when they put on the reservation that they’re going to do an oil change on my electric vehicle.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

It's been a while since I visited Epic Universe, and I've had some time to digest my thoughts. Overall I liked the park. But it certainly has its challenges.

The conspiracy theory I buy into is there is no way these are top grossing movies.
Abunch of people saw the first one, and in 3D IMax Super Deluxe because "it's the only way to see it". But that wasn't for the story, it was for the animation.
But the second one..... I don't know anyone who saw it.

They framed this as they're removing the feature because not many people use it and they can spend the development time on features people use.
Wired.... a tech publication... didn't bother to ask them "Hey, exactly how much development time do you spend on this feature?"

Also, I understand getting rid of the queue... how about we just do the ticket booths too? Do they still need to be used?

Disneyland has some new holiday themed tote bags.
But like... I feel like at this point we're all drowning in reusable bags.
Plus the price point is $20-$25 depending on the bag.
