I'm not sure why you're saying Zootopia is for preschoolers when Lion King literally has a preschool age show lmao
I do agree that Lion King would fit AK better though.

Mindblowing that Disney has two franchises (Lion King and Jungle Book) where the characters are actual animals that live in the wild and face animal problems, but they decide to go with Moana and Zootopia in Animal Kingdom.

I'd say recency bias but Jungle Book & Lion King just proved they're still popular with the remakes making a billion dollars each. Now I don't want rides based on the remakes obviously (I'll take Moana & Zootopia before that), but their success proves the originals are still beloved.
Absolutely mind blowing. As well as tarzan. Think gorilla s belong in Animal Kingdom and it has a killer soundtrack. Think a very slow moving water ride tied to Bambi would be popular amongst the very little ones. Absolutely like Moana but she has her (missed kind of ride) shot in Epcot.

The live action Jungle Book was IMHO superior to the classic cartoon and the imagery would fit better with DAK. So I’d argue they should use the live action TJB in DAK for an attraction.

This just occurred to me. Maui can turn into any kind of animal. It could be a great gimmick for a ride to explore different animal environments and ecosystems. Soarin’ or FoP style perhaps.

But FoP is already in Animal Kingdom…

It annoys me to this day that they couldn't even finish Everest enough to prevent light leakage into the interior during the backwards part. Its like they built the Matterhorn as it was in 1957.

If anything, they should be putting Moana into Adventureland.
And since 90% of Adventureland is based on tropical environments....
Bye bye.
And maybe get rid of the Swiss Family Treehouse for a Moana boat ride.

Just seeking clarification as this has now reached 167 pages - is there anything actually concrete or is it just posters hoping and playing 'imagineering' ???
Didn't you read the post on page 42? What's being developed will only be for Annual Passholders.

Will there be picnic tables?
No, they will all have to eat their brought-from-home meals at tables throughout the park. There may be a reservations system put into place so they can have spots at various QS places so regular park guests don't hog the tables.

Well, unless those guests buy an Individual Lightning Lane for said picnic tables ... which onsite guest will have the advantage of securing first ...it is a Picnic Perk

You’re absolutely right. I didn’t even consider that. The Maui thing just struck me as a way to actually make the IP fit the park. I’m not really pitching anything.

Mostly arguing over Zootopia, I think. Although I did miss a bunch of pages in the middle.

Yeah, you'd think they'd be pushing for Moana to have a presence in Magic Kingdom since all of the other princesses are in that park. Especially since they have want to do something with MK next.If anything, they should be putting Moana into Adventureland.
And since 90% of Adventureland is based on tropical environments....
Bye bye.

I think MK's Adventureland is one of the lands that most needs an update. I'm pretty sure the only addition it's ever gotten is the stupid Dumbo carpets ride.

Pirates was an addition.
MK is due for an actual expansion north of Big Thunder.

Ah, I forgot about that. That's still a pretty old addition though.
