    “Something major” coming to DHS???

    The biggest question in this area is not what would cause Universal to completely relinquish the Marvel rights, but what would be necessary to give up the exclusive rights to Marvel east of the Mississippi. As it stands, Universal is sort of in stasis with the Marvel section. They really...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

    Could it become 100 offices with private bathrooms, meetings spaces, cafeteria, etc. so that the infrastructure behind Animation Courtyard could be demoed instead?

    What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    Hear me out - when a certain contract expires at Universal, this would be a perfect area for The Simpsons if Disney so desired. Take in the whole courtyard, all the way up and including Rock N Roller Coaster and the Cars show. Build a street leading straight from the arches to Rock N Roller...

    News Disney Vacation Club announces plans for more than 350 new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort

    New question that occurs to me - there are currently around 407 (or 409) cabins at Fort Wilderness. This is promoting 350-ish cabins. What do we think accounts for the loss of 50-ish cabins? Increased size of the new cabins? Reconfiguring the layout? Additional amenities? Just a strange...

    News Disney Vacation Club announces plans for more than 350 new cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort

    This is intriguing, for several reasons. This seems to be replacing the existing cabins at Fort Wilderness and those pads are close to parking and reception, but far away from Pioneer Hall and the main resort amenities. Does that make this DVC the one with the rooms farthest away from any...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Change out Magic Carpets for The Whirlpool and Cars for Blowfish Balloon Race and you've got a Finding Nemo themed section, to strengthen the Pixar Area. That would now be Nemo, Toy Story, and Ratatouille.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    This highlights my problem with the IP strategy, and I hope this is a since discarded concept. Discoveryland has a strong theme already and could be one of the most amazing lands Disney has ever created if they stuck with that theme. Even by just sticking with existing rides they've already...

    News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

    I have to agree with much of what is said here. I can get behind Moana as part of an Oceania land, bringing in Finding Nemo, so long as there are sufficient animal exhibits. Even an aquarium would be nice to explore a new part of animal life in the park. I also hope that Zootopia never comes...

    Disney to announce overhaul of DL Tomorrowland at D23?

    I agree on the need for a restaurant on this side. This is partly why the rumor of demoing the Innoventions building for seating baffles me. It’s a shame that couldn’t be updated to hold a kitchen. I know remodels are more expensive but something like Space 220 would seem to be a great fit there...

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    There are a couple of additional wrinkles in the contract where a Disney can’t use the word Marvel in promotion in the parks. So that’s why the store is Super Hero Headquarters instead of Marvel HQ. So definitely no Art of Marvel hotel at WDW, but maybe an Art of Comics hotel.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Does the new festival area being up front and visible mean World Showplace could be razed and open and expansion spot again?

    News Primeval Whirl, Stitch's Great Escape and Rivers of Light permanently closed

    So much this. Kids are a key demographic that always seem to have a dinosaur-loving phase and it’s so surprising Disney doesn’t have an all ages dinosaur dark ride that isn’t scary to cast the widest net possible. Add that and then add more flat rides to Chester and Hester, like a dino...

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    I think that’s a fair comparison, but the demographic skews a little more to the princess and fairies side. The decor in their current locations is Nutcracker and Fairy Garden.

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    It is expensive but the slices of cake are huge. Easy to split with 2-3 people.

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    It’s not just a cake shop, though that is its specialty. It’s an experience, with salads, soups, sandwiches, as well as an afternoon tea. This will be an incredibly popular location once opened.

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    Given the description, I’m guessing Cake Bake will go in the former ESPN spot, as the bakery becomes a sandwich shop. This is a great fit for the Boardwalk, as their locations here in Broad Ripple and Carmel are both amazing in food and decor.

    News New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

    I've come to the realization that the Play! pavilion is just being put in the wrong park, and were that corrected, it would improve on the surrounding land in each park. To me, you put the Play! pavilion in the Carousel of Progress building in Tomorrowland and you put the Carousel of...

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    With it being a Marvel-themed drop tower ride and specifically not Mission Breakout, I'm assuming this would be a new build. And with Ant-Man here, I too would hope the WEB mention would not indicate Web Slingers as being an attraction ported over. Could these hints though indicate a...

    News Disneyland Working on Future Master Plan- includes Theme Park Expansions, Retail/Entertainment Space, and More!

    The eastern component of this really fascinates me. I’ve been trying to figure out if the one map including the eastern parking garage/gateway includes all the property Disney owns in that space or just where they would theoretically put a parking garage. If the goal of this whole initiative...

    The CGI Paradigm Shift

    This may solve one problem Disney is having right now (how to produce live action films), but it doesn't solve the other major problem the film industry has because of the pandemic - namely, where to release these films. Disney being able to continue to produce live action films wouldn't really...
