They should build a park somewhere else. Our best Disney days have been the cold ones. Or, keep the parks open much later. Much easier than the above, and then guests can choose when to visit. I would never go during the daylight if I had a choice.

Per Google: The US State Department estimates that 37% of the U.S. population has a valid passport I'm actually shocked it's that high.

I'm not sure I'll ever find it again, but within the past couple years, I read a post somewhere (I'm not sure if it was old or new) about a Haunted Mansion maintenance technician. It specifically mentioned a lightbulb in the hearse I think. I don't remember all the details, but I think it was...

There is another option. Build a 3rd domestic resort. Why is it always assumed that there can only be 2 domestic resorts in the U.S.? For 16 years, there was only Disneyland. For the last 50 years, we've had Disneyland and Disney World. Crowds at both resorts are now making the experience...

@yensidtlaw1969 This is absolutely fabulous. What a truly awesome creation. You have my respect! Your models, layout and lighting are great. And your audio work on the video was also a nice touch. Thank you for sharing with everyone!

Animal Kingdom is extremely overrated, and it's my least favorite park. It needs at least 4-5 more C, D or E-ticket rides to actually feel competitive. I enjoy the shows, but I go to parks to ride rides and have fun. I can go to my local zoo when I want to walk around all day and watch animals...

I'd rather see the space used for ride(s). Who's with me?

The old tour had a mini-feature showing how that miniature was used to shoot a scene from Díck Tracy. I specifically recall them saying it took 6,000 hours to build. You can see it in Martin's video: Disney MGM Studios - The Tours History 1 of 3 (https://youtu.be/R8EEFdJvHRU?t=2512) @Rinx

100% with you. That was terrifying, and I've been waiting to see if someone else remembered it.

Thank you. It looks like an amazing concept. But, definitely the kind of thing that seems impractical. Especially in light of the way the budgets have been cut for everything from Slinky, Mine Train to even SW:GE. Seeing it in the video made me think it had passed some time of greenlight...

@marni1971 Is this the new festival center? Are they really planning to build those tiers with trees on top and everything?

This rumor seems heavily inspired by the tech WDI is already using to help design and iterate Rise of the Resistance (and much of Galaxy's Edge). Basically, an articulated and programmable ride vehicle in a warehouse. Instead of a CAVE sysetm with projections, the riders wore VR head mounted...

It's really striking to see how much land the Slinky coaster takes up. This image also illustrates how small the guests walkway exploration space is in contrast. It feels like more of a sideshow than a land. Something you walk past, instead of something you walk into. Imagine if there was a...

Mission Space was hyped to include all kinds of mission critical interactivity when it was in development and we know how that turned out. (For those that don't know, each person has 2 buttons that light up during the course of the mission that they are supposed to press during the ride. It...

Speaking of dated Mission Space... I believe the Falcon ride will be projected onto the inside of a cone shaped surface, right? The Mission Space displays (even the new ones) have always made me feel ill. The Mission Space displays (cockpit screens) have a magnified/lenticular effect that causes...

This 100%. The old SSE imparted guests with a sense of "look at what humanity has accomplished. The world of the future is awesome and it's here now. Go embrace it!" It was like stepping off a speedramp into the 21st century. Replacing the descent with screens basically eliminated the...

This was one of my favorite effects. It's the sort of plus-ing that is missing these days. Along the same lines, I miss the conveyor system above the Star Tours queue. It made the building feel more alive. Now it feels like a building, not a Star Wars locale. We still have the attractions, but...

WoM was great. Like many other original Epcot omni-movers, it had incredible detail. 15 minutes of scenes, AAs, large projection screens and narration. You really could see new things every time you rode. And a ride was relaxing and transporting since it was so long. Test Track is novel, but...

The new song sounds modern. I want to like it. It just never reaches and sustains a good climax. By the time it gets going, it's over. I give it an 8/10. Of course, hearing it "live" in the theater on that amazing sound system combined with big visuals might make it a little more impactful.
