Last night in the city.

Thank you. Yes. Well, that and add a few measley words actually describing what it is…

In contrast to what I experience on DL’s current website, most restaurant web sites I visit do give me all the info I need about an item up front without my having to click through to another page. Including Universal Orlando’s Restaurant app entries (There are things that bother me about Universal’s app, but it does give me enough info about individual rides and eateries, efficiently presented on one page.) Totally agree there are big differences between designing menus and brochures for screens vs print. I’m saying Disney can do better. I’ve seen better. And, to be clear, I’m not aiming my criticisms at the people creating the pages; Disney’s app and websites work well and are visually pleasing. The site creators are just doing what Disney requests. and I personally think Disney—the corporation—in a lot of areas, currently has their priorities backwards.

That is an improvement. I'd argue it should also have a short description above the tags.

You are going to the expo?!?!! I went to the Asahi Expo in 2005 and I'm trying to figure out if I can get back there for Osaka's.

Can't believe I missed the discussion on UX lessons related to information architecture! So disappointed. 😂 Totally agree on all counts - I'm not saying Disney's great at organizing information on their sites and apps, but the way they present their attractions is inoffensive in my eyes. Perhaps they could move the tags to below the attraction and add them to pillboxes to make it clear they're tags for the ride:

8:00pm- "Come over now, we're going north" 12:00am in Panamint Valley- That was a quick 300 miles. I'm tired.

I’d much rather see an expanded version of the Tangled ride versus seeing anything Frozen related here at DLR. It feels like the sleeper hit of the FS expansion out of all of the new additions.

Except menus are organized in just the way you claim they are not. If there are only a few entree choices they’ll all be together, but they’re still listed separately from the appetizers and dessert. If there are many entrees then they get sorted groups into different categories like sandwiches or seafood. They often do have symbols to denote up front information such as an item being vegetarian. Sometimes there even different physical menus for drinks, specials, dessert and/or children. But most importantly, how you design a webpage that has to work on a interactive screen that could be anywhere from 3” wide or 12” wide is completely different from how you design for a printed product.

I guess it’s just a matter of preference. I’d like to see a design that doesn’t put inelegant, robotic-sounding labels front and center. In Bold type. Imagine a menu where you search for entrees and you get a result like, “MEATLESS—GREEN—PURPLE—NO TREENUTS … ‘Moana’s Outrigger Surprise’… 300 Calories” But it doesn’t tell you what it actually IS. You have to click to another page for that. And repeat that process for every item on the menu.

Not all of it. Great things sometimes happen. I’d like to see them concentrate on becoming consistently good again, rather than giving up and going shopping for other studios’ properties… which ends up diluting the brand.

The budget for Fantasy Springs does include the hotel, which I'm estimating was at least $500 million. Internally, WDI considers Frozen and Peter Pan E-tickets, Rapunzel a D, and Tinkerbell a C.

So that bought them one E Ticket (Frozen), two D's (Peter Pan and Rapunzel), and a spinner (Tinkerbell). Or is the Peter Pan thing considered an E? Or is Frozen considered a D? Regardless, and I'll have to see when I watch the ride-thru's on the big screen, it bought them 4 rides. Four. Something to think about with DisneylandForward spending around the same over the next 10 years or so. 🧐

Apparently 2.1 billion dollars :( though I'm not sure if this includes the hotel.
