Left for vacation and this thread was talking about everything but Star Wars, I come back and nothing has changed. Ehhh typical Disney future talk!
2017 is the earliest that we will see anything beyond 7DMT.

gotta think by 2016 USF passes DHS and or DAK
It all starts at the top, whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Iger has made a lot of good business decisions for the company as a whole, but he just doesn't seem to get it when it comes to the parks. Steve Burke, on the other side, has an entire vision and is very enthusiastic about seeing it come to life. He knows the company has to make money, but he also knows that they have to continually add attractions and things for people to do in order for people to SPEND money and for them to have a chance to pass Disney's parks.

Additionally, MM+ is supposedly meant to make guests spend money, yet they are close to $2B in the hole on it. If they put that money to good use and built great attractions that are highly merchandisable like Uni currently is, then they wouldn't be in the position they are currently in.
I've personally already heard a lot of people say how cool the new system is. Granted, most are those that haven't tried FP+ yet, although they have experienced parts of the infrastructure. But I mean, $2B+ MM+, DVC, Epcot restaurants and Disney Springs. Of course they have Festival of Fantasy and SDMT next year too, but other than that, what are they really investing that isn't solely focused on making money? Unless they wake up, realize they need something soon and fast track Star Wars, we aren't looking at anything significant for 3+ years after next year.Agreed. What I don't get is how MM+ ended up costing that much money. I mean I think in the end it will increase spending and make guests happier (probably not for another 2 years until they work out all the kinks), but 2B is way too much to recover. Oh well, nothing we can do to change executives and until people's pocketbooks vote, nothing will change.

I'm curious to see if any actual cast members here or abroad actually like this new system?

When someone can come up with an idea that will allow Disney to collect guest info, increase guest spending and cut costs, while making the tech seem "cool" and allowing the uber planners to book their ride times in advance, they will win out any day of the week over someone with ride idea. It isn't lack of creativity, it's lack of foresight by the bean-counters.:down: I just understand why a corporation such as Disney asks like they dont have to worry about the return guests. There has to be more creative minds in that group than coming up with bathrooms and magic bands :bang:
