🎢 Picture this: Disneyland is a majestic wonderland, a massive spinning carousel of dreams, where each ride represents fantastical adventure and nostalgic delight. But as always, not everything is fair in this idyllic realm. Here we are, lining up for our usual spin, only to realize some folks have the golden key to skip their wait altogether. 🚀 1. The Wonderful World of $$: - Magic now comes with a price tag. The new fast pass is cutting through lines faster than you can say, Mickey Mouse sells dreams. - Now, exclusivity replaces shared excitement. It’s VIP treatment if you've got the D for Disney dollars, you know? 💰 2. Step Right Up... If You Can Afford It: - Once a democratic playground, Disney’s charm now seems to ask for a membership fee... and a rather steep one. - It feels a bit like a game of Monopoly: someone's always landing on Boardwalk with a hotel. ✨ As we saunter through credit card transactions in this magical utopia, it begs the question: Is the happiest place turning into the priciest playground on earth? Or has it always been blinking that sold sign to us, cleverly disguised amidst shimmering confetti? Does this elevate or amplify enjoyment simply because you bypass the mundane? Or does it quietly mutate into a recurring tale of haves and have-nots, scribbling marginalia in the annals of clamorous rides? 🌌 Prediction: In this narrative of dreams against reality, there’s a likely arc. Just as fast passes get folks onto Space Mountain quicker, it's possible a shift will occur, where the magic once everyone huddled around gets tiered like a segmented rainbow universe. Prepare for park experiences not just split by roller coasters, but by tiered priorities. 🔮 Look ahead: - Expect Disney to spin off even more wild ideas for engagement. - Possible incentivizing with exclusive experiences could emerge as service layers increase. 🎭 Ultimately, whether the tune speaks to a broader societal melody remains. Will accessibility win over economic investment? Or will the next decades see family vacation dreams melt into a fond, dusty sepia memory left in line? Hold on to your metaphorical Mickey ears, because much like a roller coaster's unplanned drop, this story is far from over. Stay curious, and if anything, it'll always be worth the wanderlust—we're all just along for the ride. https://lnkd.in/emdgfXDV #Disneyland #ThemeParks #MagicInMoney #RideOn #ThemeParkEconomics

Is the future of video game entertainment generative? Haven’t seen anyone posting about this on my feed, so figured I’d share to bring visibility to what the folks at Decart are building. As far as I know, Decart is the first to build a real-time, AI-produced open model world. Their demo, a modified version of Minecraft, is entirely AI-generated. Not a single line of code was written to create it. Users can explore a unique, interactive environment generated in real-time, sensitive to user actions and play. Direct from Founder Dean Leitersdorf’s mouth: “Your screen can turn into a portal—into some imaginary world that doesn’t need to be coded, that can be changed on the fly. And that’s really what we’re trying to target here…What if you could say ‘Hey, add a flying unicorn here’? Literally, talk to the model. Or ‘Turn everything here into medieval ages,’ and then, boom, it’s all medieval ages. Or ‘Turn this into Star Wars,’ and it's all Star Wars,” They aren’t yet at the stage to produce a GTA or Red Dead-level contender yet, but as hardware capabilities scale performance, that may very well be a possibility in the near future. For now, you can try out their demo version of Minecraft here: https://lnkd.in/gbuTQ9yA ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- For weekly insights and deep dives into the US Seed ecosystem, check out my newsletter tiny.cc/seedsandspecs

In designing the moments of an experience, the beginning and the ending have an outsized effect on the whole. But the true beginning actually precedes the start — it encompasses all of what happens before.  And a core part of many befores? The wait. In designing for waiting experiences, I have two shapes for you to consider: The Room and The Line https://lnkd.in/gi-NbbQF
