I know Rohde didn't add the following caveat, and I know that this is a joke, but I personally find A Bug's Life/Zootopia attractions in the Tree of Life Theatre more justifiable than an entire Zootopia land because it is a single, B- or C-ticket attraction located in a park-appropriate setting...

It’s funny bc it’s true! (It’s also sad) Edit: Sorry, I just realized this was a really old thread. Didn’t mean to bump

I have to wonder if the poor reaction to Moana/Zootopia spooked management a bit. While it sounds silly, the fact that they’re presenting yet *another* blue sky idea is really strange.

While I am beyond bummed that the land’s Dinosaur focus is being abandoned, at least this plan feels more cohesive than the weird Moana/Zootopia combo. I don’t love these plans, but I also don’t hate them. I think I expected so much worse that this feels somewhat acceptable 😂. That said, I’d...

Or guests and fans could hold Disney accountable. That’s kind of the point of capitalism as well 🤷‍♂️

The CNBC piece is a fantastic and *very* revealing. I’m no fan of Chapek and the direction he’d have taken Disney, but it’s hard not to feel for the guy. Iger (perhaps unintentionally?) set him up to fail from the start.

At this point, I sincerely hope this happens. Imagine all those P&R revenues being used exclusively on P&R rather than subsidizing Disney+ and expensive acquisitions.

I started bringing my own plastic, disposable straws from to the park when Disney eliminated their use. Looking like I’m going to be buying my own paper cups and plastic lids as well…I’ve got the room for it.

Adding him to the endless hallway, huh? *sigh* Par for the course. Unfortunately, this is what happens when storytellers and masters of their craft are replaced by Instagram wannabes…

I'd keep the queue/load pretty much where it is in Tomorrowland. The exterior would be themed to the "Internet City," which lends itself to the Tomorrowland location. I really like your Cy-Bugs idea though! That's a neat concept.

Sorry for the massive thread bump, but I just wanted to say, @DlpPhantom, I absolutely loved reading this thread. You have some amazing ideas--many of which I believe are exceptionally better than those implemented by WDI over the last 4-5 years. I especially love the "Innovation Campus" concept...

Go electric 🤷‍♂️

While it doesn’t solve the capacity problem, I always thought this was a creative way to solve the “limbo space” problem that the Speedway has: Facing Tomorrowland, the surroundings reflect Internet City (or whatever it was called). Facing Fantasyland, the surroundings appear as Candy Crush...

Disney selling off portions of Fox is evidence that the Fox merger was, by and large, an unnecessary purchase. It is not evidence that Disney paid less for the company.

Oh, there's also Disney's press release announcing the acquisition... Disney and 21st Century Fox Announce per Share Value in Connection with $71 Billion Acquisition "Disney is also acquiring approximately $19.8 billion of cash and assuming approximately $19.2 billion of debt of 21st Century...

WSJ: Disney Closes $71.3 Billion Deal for 21st Century Fox Assets Deal for $71.3 billion merges ‘Simpsons’ and ‘Star Wars,’ and it builds a bigger competitor to Netflix Walt Disney Co. closed its $71.3 billion acquisition of the major entertainment assets of 21st Century Fox, the companies...

Im sure there are many high-dollar Disney execs who agree with your assessment, and that is precisely the problem that Disney faces long term. But hey, what do I know? Maybe $71.3b for Avatar, the Fantastic Four & the X-Men was totally worth it! (Never mind the fact that by the time X-Men and...

Idk man, $71.3b seems like an awful lot of money for 16 Academy Award nominations, Avatar, and The Simpsons… 🤷‍♂️

Whether the general public views Marvel/Lucas as Disney or not, Disney sure wants them to and is working overtime to make it happen. From Disney+ to Disney100 promotional materials and merchandise, it's clear that the company wants the world to know that it's all about Marvel, Star Wars, and...

There's a lot of places that an answer to this question could go, but simply put I believe that Marvel, Fox, and Lucasfilm were all unnecessary acquisitions that have diluted the Disney brand. Fox was the biggest mistake, though severe mismanagement/office politics at Lucasfilm is slowly killing...
