I personally kind of wish that they would make a new large indoor theatre in Toy Story Land that features the Toy Story Musical show.. It'd be a GREAT addition!

Most reviews of that show that I've seen have been horrible.

Are you insinuating that the TS Musical will replace Little Mermaid?

I don't know that VotLM will go anytime soon though. They had auditions today for a new Ariel. If it was just gonna go away, why would they bother?

-Plus, I think B&tB needs to be addressed above all other stage shows..

BatB is on the outs for a villains show. I believe they've already been auditioning for it.

I've heard that the Toy Story musical is indeed pretty bad.

I've heard that the Toy Story musical is indeed pretty bad.

It was supposed to go and replace Aladdin out at DCA and after searching and watching it on youtube, basically all of the passholders complained and Disney backtracked.

It turned out to be a good thing ultimately for Disney as now Frozen is going in there and as much as many APers love the show, if they put on a Frozen show of the same quality, scale and length (and obviously talent), it will be a more than suitable replacement.
I actually sort of hope we get the show at DHS too so we can get rid of the sing-a-long, but WDW doesn't have a sufficient theater for a show of that scale.

 

[Brer Panther]

I agree about getting rid of the sing-a-long, but I don't think Disney World needs two Frozen attractions.

I agree about getting rid of the sing-a-long, but I don't think Disney World needs two Frozen attractions.

There's two Little Mermaid attractions. Two Lion King (formerly three). A BatB Show and and entire BatB area. There's will be two frozen attractions come next year.

I think a Ride and a Show are fine to have. If it were two rides, then yes too much. But since it would be a high quality stage production of a movie that demands to be on the stage as is, I don't see the harm.

 

[Brer Panther]

Yeah, but we don't need two Little Mermaid attractions, two Lion King attractions, or two Beauty and the Beast attractions either (or two Finding Nemo attractions). Disney seems to know this, I've heard rumors of the Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid shows closing.

A stage show is completely different from a dark ride or what be. Finding Nemo: The Musical and Festival of the Lion King are both of very high quality. If anything from those franchises needs to close, it's the LK show in The Land. The Seas, while not ideal, does it's job.

Is the villains show confirmed for BoTB?

Nope.

 

[robonakabob]

I thought I heard something about BoTB being enclosed with AC or something. Im up for a villains show. I dont see it becoming a reality for some reason though.

They're already casting for it, so it's definitely happening. It's just a matter of where.

The show is confirmed, since they are having auditions, but where it is going has not been.

And when Toy Story Land opens there will be 4 Toy Story attractions. It is the most well represented intellectual property in theme parks around the world.

Well, I can't imagine why.. I've seen the show twice and I absolutely love it! It's a great show! Outstanding? Amazing? Nah.. It's probably on the same level as Beauty and the Beast at Hollywood Studios. It would be a great show to add to the land. I was impressed with how they made Toy Story into a musical. It was a great concept! Some catchy songs too.. I particularly liked Sid's song!

 

[Oriolesmagic]

Definitely some armchair imagineering, but what if the Villains show were to head to the old Hunchback theater and SOA/LMA becomes a villain area? I can't think of many things that would be more popular with the young adult age-group than that for Disney. Which seems to be the age-group they're really going for with Hollywood Studios.

I Know there is Toy Story Mania and they are building the Slinky Dog Coaster, another ride but what's the fourth attraction?

Everyone loves a villain
