Interesting. Seems a natural fit for a ride of sorts - a la TMAWP. That show mustn't have done too well.

I'm really not sure how I feel about that...

More like the costumes needed constant repairing to my limited knowledge... I think the problem is when you start plopping down character specific attractions it personally destroys the feel ... I think you can do a lot when you have less Disney Synergy©
It was a good show, but Tarzan Rocks (which followed it) was (in my opinion, of course) an upgrade, and the Nemo musical an upgrade on that.
I actually thought that Camp Minnie Mickey provided a way to have the characters without destroying the feel, because it kept the characters in one land. I always envisioned CMM as the "Disney's animals" section of the park. Asia and Africa focused on animals that could be found there, and CMM focused on animals that could be found in Disney stories. I used to think that eventually CMM would get a dark ride or two based on Disney animal-focused (particularly animals in nature, not animals as pets) movies -- Bambi, Lion King, Jungle Book, Aristocats, Nemo. Alas, it didn't go that way.

What located in Tomorrowland? Correct I'm not a fan would,but that entire land is a mess best name it Discoveryland and rip out those 'Toons
I'm gradually coming around to believing that Tomorrowland at WDW is now best described as something like "Fantasy-Tomorrowland" or "Sci-Fi Land", while Future World is the "Real" Tommorowland.

I just see them all as "fun stuff to do" lands. The name doesn't take away from the entertainment provided.

It takes away from the Show though and that is kind of the most important point.

And by show you mean the theme of the particular land?
Sure, there's fun stuff to do no matter what, but the theming is one of the the things that sets Disney parks apart from others. Messed-up theming doesn't make the attractions there any less enjoyable, but it does make the experience of being in the park/land less enjoyable.

That makes a lot of sense. I think that BLSRS makes sense for Tomorrowland, on a very basic level. MILF, not so much. That one is definitely forced. Hopefully Lasseter will try to polish the parks up to make sure there is no loss due to theming-fail.

Well I guess The Discovery Clubs can be easily changed into Wilderness Explorers Clubs. It just sounds like the same thing to me.

Looks fun enough. Why do they only make that stuff for the 7-11 year olds?
I wanna play too!

The Imagineer in the video said they aimed it at 7 - 10 year olds skill wise but all ages can play. I know I will be playing on my next trip I will be using my 2 and 4 year olds as cover
