Is that true? It is a total of like 15 seconds of animation lol. They could have probably pulled clips directly from the movie or had some fanboy/girl do the animation over a weekend for free and it would've been higher quality!

Ariel also use to be a CG character in the videos when transitioning from land to water and back. Those were updated with traditional animation (although the animations still looks off IMO).

Any news on whether the overlay survived past the weekend celebration?

If you are the type of person who stays at the parks all day, 100% don't spend the money for a Disney hotel. If you enjoy going back to the hotel for food/pool/drinks then Disneyland Hotel and Grand Californian are excellent! I agree with the previous comment that only the Grand Californian has...

Gladly sacrifice Critter Country, and go ahead and take SGE too for good measure.

Ironically, DLR has become a better resort compared to WDW. Spending the morning at the parks, back to the hotel for lunch/pool/drinks, dinner at the hotel/Downtown Disney/one of the Parks, evening at the parks, nighttime show, and a night cap back at the hotel is a darn good day. At WDW that...

I'm not necessarily advocating for a launch. I'm just not sure about the chain lift . I don't like hearing distinct roller coaster sounds inside a spaceship or in outer space. Regardless, could you agree that the effects would be improved by using fiber-optics? Imagine the Neverland scene but at...

If any classic attraction should be gutted and upgraded with modern technology it is Space Mountain. Would anyone be upset to see the ride system replaced with modern roller coaster amenities like a launch, reduced noise, improved fiber optic lighting effects, etc? Keep the classic feel, but...

Between Pixar Pier, mission cheapout, and galaxy's edge, I'm starting to miss the orange groves already.

Change DCA to "6 Flags over Disney" and nobody will complain. .... seriously though, Disney CEO's: Disney Tatum Walker Miller Eisner Iger That might be an even better idea than I thought.

If Paradise Pier had the opportunity to be fleshed out as a Victorian Era amusement park it could have been one of the best lands at DLR. All they had to do was commit to the rides and attractions that made those old parks so unique. There are so many attractions that (mostly for safety reasons)...

Staying off property, most likely you'll be East of the park and will cross Harbor at the IHOP as SteamboatJoe mentioned . Motels along Harbor are very convenient for this reason. You will walk less than staying "On-property" in most cases. If you are staying West of Disneyland, you'll enter...

I prefer the retro posters like People Mover and Matterhorn. Those two in particular are probably my favorite. I've been tinkering with a House of the Future poster that is more in line with that style than the one they created for Disneyland's 50th. Interestingly, the poster they came out with...

No new pool. Dig Site had a refurb recently, but with no increase to capacity. This is definitely a big concern. Even conventioneers are just as likely to use the pool as any other resort amenities.

It admittedly looks better than I expected. However, there are three huge elements that are still troubling: The scale of the resort. If this tower was 50-70% of its current size it would fit in with the surrounding area. When you see how puny El Centro looks in comparison, it takes away from...

I wonder how much research went into this design. Did anyone from WDI actually go the French or Italian Riviera to study the location??? Based on the final product it looks like they flew into central France and stayed at the airport hotel for some inspiration. Time: 2018. Place: any Courtyard...

Three Bridges Bar & Grill is a horrible name. Literally Chili's Grill & Bar is a better name. Chili's has a better name for their restaurant than CSR. :rolleyes:

Can't there be convenience AND design elements??

Regarding the first two examples, I feel I'm being empathetic to Disney. If you look at the French Riviera example, that can be imaged as one 18 story building. From beach level to the top of the highest building in the image is about 18 stories. Make an 18 story tower that looks like a...

There are plenty of better alternatives. In fact, I find it hard to have worse ideas than what they propose. Riviera: Inspired by the French Riviera and also a great tie-in to the Caribbean Beach sister resort (or whatever it was decided to be). Coronado: I would think something like Don...
