I just returned from Orlando - the city of fun and service. We had a blast. My takeaway is that consumers will pay a good deal of money for things that they want. But they want those things to be just right. Consumer expectations just keep going up, because there's always someone willing to go the extra mile to meet those new expectations.

Oh, and the Hulk Roller Coaster is amazing (YouTube).
