100% I also think Disney has drastically overestimated how deeply guests are attached to certain IPs (namely Marvel, Star Wars and recent animated films) versus others. Coasters and other thrill rides will always attract a significant wait, which is why RNR, Tower of Terror and Splash Mountain...

I'm just confused as to how the Animal Kingdom project can be close to green light when D'amaro seemed unsure whether Zootopia or Moana (or both? or some other IP entirely?) would be the replacement for Dinoland, and had only one piece of concept art to show for it. I mean, I'm sure there's more...

I think Encanto would clash with Disneyland's Fantasyland, since the inspiration for the buildings is so clearly German. With MK's Fantasyland, it wouldn't bother me. There's such a mix of styles, and New Fantasyland in particular seems more focused on regurgitating buildings from the animated...

Idk, I get the Universal comparison (loosely) but to me, Seaworld & Busch don't offer anything approaching what Disney does, even in its current iteration. Unfortunately, I think that's why they feel so little motivation to innovate with the parks, even with Epic Universe on the...

Personally, I think Encanto would be a better fit for Fantasyland (maybe a New Fantasyland 2.0 mini-land of the outlying village and one dark ride inside the house) whereas a Coco village and the land of the dead would be a better expansion for Frontierland. It's just hard to get excited about...

How is it that we got 20 minutes of D'amaro freestyling on lands we may or may not get in the next decade and yet nothing on Fantasmic which is supposedly coming back before end of year??

Benefit of the doubt, maybe they were just happy to see Dinoland finally get the ax.

RE: your first point...not necessarily? There are nods to Coco throughout Disneyland's Frontierland. The American cowboy was heavily inspired by Mexican vaqueros. I think the Land of the Dead would be a pretty reasonable expansion for Frontierland. Definitely preferable to Zootopia in Animal...

The last 20 minutes of that panel felt so...for lack of a better word, pathetic lol What are the odds any of these things actually happen? Was this a panel for new announcements or a focus group?

You'll be fine, I've worn sports bras and pretty short crop tops to the parks before. It's often upwards of 90 degrees at the parks in the summer, CMs are understanding of this. No one is going to ask you to change unless your outfit is extremely revealing or has visibly inappropriate/nsfw imagery.

I mean, it will be nice to see and certainly up my enjoyment of the show somewhat, but it's still slapping a band-aid on a fundamentally broken show. A two-minute nod to Walt and Roy does nothing to address the core 15 minutes of the show, which should have drawn from WDW history and utilized MK...

I'm not saying it is, or attempting to justify it - just saying I can see their reasoning, especially given everything going on behind the scenes this year. I would say revealing the houses one by one has always been more about building anticipation for fans and marketing to non-fans than a...

The final spec map is probably 90% accurate. IRT the lack of announcements, it seems there have also been a lot of cancellations and last minute changes to the lineup this year. It’s possible Universal was hesitant to make any announcements given the situation behind the scenes. Maybe next...

She’s free to do so lol And my issues with that attraction have more to do with the theming than the motion of the ride vehicle so I don’t think the inclusion of that ride element would do much to change my mind. I still think that area is badly in need of a refresh, more so than anywhere else...

I said it looks dated, not that they should remove Marvel from the parks entirely. Spider-Man is obviously one of the best attractions in Orlando, and the Hulk is wildly popular as well. I’m aware of the contract, but I don’t see this as an excuse to leave this area untouched in the next few...

I've heard Netflix is very particular and made demands that were beyond Universal's budget. Looks like 2/3 of the houses that pulled out were Netflix: Stranger Things, Fear Street and Evil Dead Rise. Honestly, of the IP house teasers released so far, The Weeknd house is the only one that looks...

I've been going to WDW my whole life, but only visited UO for the first time when Hogwarts and Hogsmeade opened. And while I love IOA (it has some problem areas in need of addressing, but the majority of its lands are home runs), UO continues to be a huge disappointment for me in the theming...

Not sure. Too bad Road to El Dorado is likely unrecognizable among kids today since that would be a PERFECT fit for IOA. Edit: Another option is Trolls, which is significantly less irritating than the Illumination properties in my book & would definitely lend itself to some very lush, colorful...

I guess an Illumination property. Not something I would personally be thrilled about, but I'm sure it would be a hit with kids and if it was executed well enough with a proper dark ride to go along with it, that would be a plus in my book. Maybe a clone of UOH's Secret Life of Pets ride with an...

I would be fine with that...the area does nothing for me.
