    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Can’t think of a park in the world that wouldn’t be improved with a Hagrids style coaster. The storytelling possibilities are endless really, be that through IP or unique stories. I’d love to see Paris get one in either of the parks. I’m spoilt in that I’ve been to many parks, but I’d love a...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    This looks incredible and it’s the land I’m least excited for. I don’t have any criticism. Yeah there’s “standard theme park rides” but the big guns are in the other lands, and if you’re to do standard theme park rides..do them like this. I think this area will look great at night too. The...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    I just don’t understand the direction for this park at all, it’s such a mess. It’s like a jumbled ride-vomit without an overarching purpose? Alice in wonderland, behind Avengers? A randomly plonked down tangled spinner and the way to a fully built frozen land. Lion King next to it?

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    I think Disney believes that the rising tide lifts all boats but I don’t see it. I’d say most people who go to Florida from the UK go for 2 weeks typically, and Universal / Disney 14 day tickets seem to be the option people go for. For anyone not aware, it’s “14 days for the price of 7”, for...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    10.34. Highly instagrammable, and a hoard of nightly free advertising in the Worlds busiest resort, if this was a nightly show!

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I largely agree but I do think customers still have a voice. It’s probably why the last “long term” Epcot show was turfed pretty quickly. Drones on their own are pretty dull, they’ve been used great at Paris though to enhance. Guests know a boring show when they see one so I could never imagine...

    News EPCOT's Harmonious to be replaced with new nighttime spectacular Luminous

    I wonder why Disneyland Paris have done so much with drones and WDW are years late to the party.

    Didn’t really know where to put this, but I believe we were discussing Efteling in a Paris thread at the start of the year, and I suppose it’s mildly relevant as European competition. This year I’ve been to Port Aventura & Disneyland Paris (been many times to both) and had my first visit to...

    First timer thoughts from Hong Kong Disneyland

    I’m interested to hear more about Hong Kong in general as a destination. As much as I’m a Disney fan, I’m not sure I could justify a trip across the planet for any park on its own merit. (I say as I plan a trip across the planet for a park on its own merit in Epic Universe in 2025 😂)

    15 minutes left in the day, you rode Pirates and Haunted Mansion already, but you can choose between the two of them which one to go on again

    In all honesty by the last 15 mins of a day I’ve probably been on my feet for 17 hours so it’s whatever is closest 😂 The answer for a late night ride is always Thunder Mountain though 😉

    First timer thoughts from Hong Kong Disneyland

    I’ve been to California , Florida & Paris (Both many times). Of the 3 resorts I’ve yet to visit, HK has always been the most appealing to me. I fully expect Tokyo to be the best Disney resort as an overall, but I also think it’s a lot busier than they report. Anecdotally, I feel there’s some...

    Rumor Disney's 100th Anniversary

    It’s just poor marketing if that’s the case. The Disneyland Paris parade led me onto a vie of the final day of the 30th and now Ive booked another trip

    We stayed in Sequoia in February, and were excited for the indoor pool. It was however, too cold. I think as it was linked to the outside one possibly? Although I’ve found some European pools to be on the cold side, in general. I‘m considering another winter trip, but the cold can be a little...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    Disney are losing from me. I come to Orlando as a blank canvas willing to spend 14-21 days in whatever parks capture my attention, and Disney is getting less and less of them. I'm spending less money on food, merchandise, add-ons, hotel nights, and spending it at their competitors. My hope is...

    Dinosaur has seen better days

    You'd be stupid to think that WDW makes billions of dollars a year & thereby spends a good % of this in maintaining high-quality rides. It's pretty inexcusable, in any capacity to let rides run like has been reported. People accepting poor quality & returning year after year are at fault. But...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    We're lifelong Disney fans who've visited Orlando, from the UK, for extended holidays, 5 times. Universal Orlando has been our favorite resort on 3 of the 4 trips we've done both resorts. The exception was 2017 when Disney had a feeling of excitement again with the addition of Pandora & Happily...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens 2025

    I know there’s a lot of unknowns still, but the only aspect of this that looks awful so far is the coaster in the Monsters section. The rest…wow.

    News Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closing for refurbishment in February 2023

    I‘m amazed it’s still going. Forceful coasters have a limited shelf life due to forces on the track and I don’t imagine there are many coasters out there that get as battered as a Disney Coaster. These parks often operate constant cycles 16 hours a day 365 a year. Most regional coasters don’t...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    They keep showing off the Frozen coaster for Hong Kong. I find it completely baffling that they’ve not included it in Paris. It’s an absolute guaranteed hit.

    News Walt Disney Company plans to spend $17 billion at Walt Disney World over the next ten years

    Magic Kingdom is our least favourite Disney park. It’s not the worst, but for how busy it is, it‘s just lacking and I echo many of the above thoughts. For me, it feels stale, and lazy. Tron was a strange addition to Magic Kingdom when you consider the lack of high quality dark rides in...
