The Disney MagicBands? Those are only available in Walt Disney World in Florida, not Disneyland in Anaheim. Anaheim only has paper FastPasses, which are the same concept, but a little more difficult to manage since you need to run around th

They just finished building Shanghai Disneyland, which apparently caused a few budget issues in the Parks & Resorts division, so I think you're right about a third US location being off the table for now. Disney also recently bough

One thing I didn't see mentioned in the article are demographics for visitors. Disneyland has always had a very local crowd, which is why they do things differently from Walt Disney World in Florida. By "local crowd", I mean

They list an email that you need to send a message to, which auto-replies with a link to their website where you can cancel. I unfortunately don't have the link handy to share, but it's easier than needing to go through the rigama

Funny you say that. I get Home Chef delivered at least twice a month now after converting from Blue Apron as well, and I've been doing for long enough now that it feels like I can detect the pattern to their recipes. Always a chicken b

I don't have a car, I live in Silicon Valley working for a tech company, and I'm more than willing to pay for weekly meal ingredient boxes (which I do). You're assuming that everyone who doesn't have a car is poor, which

I think it was unsustainable. Especially depending on how you're defining "enthusiasts." If we're talking about enthusiasts who still actively play the latest and greatest Pokemon games, Pokemon Sun and Moon only sold ab

Yes, people are still playing Pokemon Go. About 65 million was the last reported active user count. (Not sure if daily or monthly.) The number of people you saw playing at the beginning was way more than was sustainable, and a drop was of c

Sure, I wouldn't be surprised if some reporter at TechCrunch had a vendetta against Uber. But I have been barely getting much of my Uber news from TechCrunch lately. So either the entire tech media has a vendetta against Uber, or it&#x

Facebook reported 1.23 billion daily active users as of last December [0]. 5.6 million bots is only 0.46% of the "user" base, so in terms of raw number of users it doesn't really seem all that bad. I would be curious, however
