Commentary on Bob Chapek

I didn't feel like this was newsworthy, and I know the Sentinel has a pretty good paywall. But these pieces are always good for a discussion around here

CVS and Shell are pretty lazy CEO comparisons. Maybe Microsoft or Apple, or even Sheetz, WaWa, or Buc-ee's. Lol.

OMG do they really think the paywall motivates people to pay?

Diana just informed me from MK that Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow, is now being paged as you exit Space Mountain on the People Mover. Damn you, Chapek!

Is that new? We heard that in June but don't remember hearing it years ago. Is there some history I am unaware of?

It used to be near the entrance, as you passed over the Space Mountain exit. Sounds like there's all kinds of new audio, including mention of the Tron ride.

I remember it from our first WDW trip when I was a kid in 1997. When the 2009 spiel was introduced it wasn't there anymore. I have heard there is a new spiel as of last month that has brought back, as well as the old school chime sfx when entering each area with narration.

I'm guilty of popping in an earbud and queuing up the 90s spiel on Youtube whenever I ride TTA...err.. the Peoplemover.

I don't ever remember a time that the Mr. Morrow thing wasn't on the ride. I have video of it from 2008, and it was definitely there when we moved here in 2013.

I think when the new spiel came in the fall of 2009 it wasn't there, but then they added it back quickly. But I honestly can't remember.

I also remember there was a time when Carousel of Progress went seasonal, and when they turned that portion of the audio off on the spiel the Mr. Morrow part went with it. But that was the 90s-2008 spiel.
