My "work" resort

  1. Parks & Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs shuffles the executive deck; what does it mean?

    Late yesterday, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs announced some changes at the top of the division's leadership structure on the heels of Al Weiss' retirement announcement just two weeks ago. While speculation was that a reorganization would be coming, nobody really thought that the movement would be so swift, as Weiss' retirement isn't effective until November.

    This reorganization of the Parks & Resorts division follows the November 2005 shakeup where then-Parks & ...
  2. This year's Walt Disney World ticket price hikes come earlier than usual

    Perhaps in an attempt to grab a little extra income at the expense of the large summer crowds, Walt Disney World (and Disneyland) announced a ticket price hike Friday, June 10, effective on Sunday, June 12. For years, price hikes for Walt Disney World were announced in January; in 2006, with a second price hike in that calendar year, price hikes moved to the first Sunday in August.

    As Jim put it, "Apparently, there was such a flurry of interest in the book that Amazon is selling it TODAY instead of Oct. 3...and even offering overnight shipping..."

  5. Free dining, room discounts and gift cards, oh my!

    Walt Disney World today announced a trifecta of new discounts, some of which run through the end of September 2011.

    Free dining

    Free dining is back, with the same split-level implementation as has been the case recently. Those staying at value resorts will get the Quick Service Dining Plan for free, while those in moderate, deluxe and deluxe villa accommodations will get the standard Disney Dining Plan for free.
