People complain about no family friendly rides at DHS. I would have re-done The Great Movie Ride and based it off all of the classic Disney kid friendly movies.

Okay gonna go hide now. I'm completely psycho I know.

Well .... TDO doesn't exist anymore. Gone. Vamoose. Adios. All Kalagritis does is to maintain the profit margins, sail the ship and not screw up.
Glendale and Tom Staggs is where to aim your wrath.

Disney isn't our last hope for great theme park entertainment.
There is another.............

If that's the case then I am confused. So TDO is done, then why doesn't Disney world do celebrations like TDA? Like the recent hollywood one. And why aren't certain rides getting updates like if DL is getting an updated peter pan what's stopping us from getting the same update :0 Does glendale now just go slow on WDW but give more attention to DLR?

In matters of significant capital expenditure, I think you are giving TDO too much weight and credit. To be sure, they have influence, but TD Burbank calls the shots. This company is micromanaged by the top. ALL development and creative decisions of significant impact or expense are reviewed and approved by the Bobs (and until recently Tom). Everyone on this site loves to hate on TDO, and of course they do have major decision making power and impact on what happens at the resort, but don't kid yourselves about where the money and power live!

At this point, I like it better than Epcot.

I can very easily make Epcot a half day park. Epcot has a lot of very good things... except rides.

Exactly. To me, Epcot is a half day park. DHS can be a full day. DHS to me has more things that inspire repeat viewing instead of just doing them because they're there. The park needs expansion and Epcot beats it in terms of the amount of rides but I'd argue in favor of DHS. But DHS needs to be tackled "first" because it NEEDS more rides. The quality of what's there isn't bad. At Epcot, the quality of several rides is sub-par, but to the average guest, it's not. You could make a case for each park being either a full day or a half day, it's just a matter of preference.

Walking around World Showcase is still a great experience. The updates to Illuminations make the best nighttime show on property even better. I really hope Frozen doesn't ruin that. Having said that, every major attraction there is flawed. Hollywood Studios has a better attraction lineup. It's not everything, but it's important.
What's especially frustrating about Epcot is that things like Spaceship Earth really only need minor changes. Fix the descent and get a new script... that's a one month refurb, tops. Living with the Land could use a refurb to the animatronic scenes that's a bit more substantial, but the frustrating thing there are the greenhouse entry and exit tunnels. Something needs to be done there.
There are Soarin improvements on the horizon which will also help. Frozen will bring more people to the park but we all know about the poor thematic fit. The park needs a knock out E-ticket in the worst way and it doesn't have one. All of the other parks have at least one.

So what do you expect in regards to parks at D23?

At this point, Spaceship Earth is the least of their problems. I guess a new script would be nice but I don't mind it how it is. But I agree it's a quick fix to plus it up and they can't even do that. They just don't look at the parks like that anymore, and if they do, it's nixed.

TDO & TDA really only exist on paper anymore. All their job is to keep the ship afloat and maintain the profit margins.
All the real decisions are made in Glendale at the P&R level. All expansion, rehab and creative ideas are made there. Individual ideas (like Epcot Entertainment Shows) are decided by local management....
