But a sense of humor is sometimes...
Says the guy who can't enjoy Country Bear Jamboree without seeing troublesome stereotypes.
If your point was about a sense of humor, you would have seen it in mine.
Aspire program sounds nice in PR though.
I've always been a long time advocate for the rights of mounted animal busts.
I have more commonly associated you with the other side of the animal remaining.

I do think it would be a benefit to the Disney parks as a whole to have at least one unique premier attraction. I think there's wiggle room for unique takes on the duplicate ride systems like Cars vs Test Track. Also a really nice unique land can fill that purpose (Avatar, Cars Land again). Even something like the Nightmare retheme of Haunted Mansion is something that makes me want to visit DisneyLand each year (I know this isn't unique to DisneyLand, but is a strong pull even if seasonal).
Unique attractions and experiences make me, at least, want to visit more Disney parks. Internationally, it is maybe less important as fewer people visit all the Disney parks - but if they do, I think there should be a 'reward' in unique experiences in each.
What is enough is also debatable, I'd agree Magic Kingdom should have something a bit more exclusive and awe-inspiring within its gates. Villains Land could certainly be that (although I'm unsure if it would remain exclusive if well received) - I guess we'll see.

I’d rather they save a villains land concept for a 5th gate. Have villains represented across the spectrum of properties (Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar) in their own dedicated park rather than just a land of a few villains from Disney animation that will probably only have 2 rides anyways.

It's not exactly one of my favorites, but I would argue that ETWB is certainly worthy of "attraction" status more than a typical M&G and is on par with other shows mentioned as unique to MK. While I don't advocate having M&Gs in lieu of rides, if Disney is going to do character interactions, they should certainly plus it to be something akin to this (or Turtle Talk, etc) as opposed to just boring run of the mill photos with characters.
IIRC ETWB did win a THEA award

Unique to the park, as in some version of it doesn't exist elsewhere in the world - means absolutely nothing to me.
What does bother me however is that superior things like Tokyo Sea, exist in other parts of the world.
Magic Kingdom in WDW should have the best of the best.
It should be the showcase.

You sure?
Disney is not currently on track to build a 5th gate in either of our lifetimes.

So you don't want a villains land? Cause there won't be a 5th gate for a very, very long time

Instead making New Fantasyland Timeless it became limited. If your not riding 7 Dwarfs Mine Train, and not dining at Be Our Guest without a reservation then all you have is Enchanted Tales if you even consider once is done and all remains is Little Mermaid. Gaston and Tangled are just restrooms. The idea of the older concept with Cinderellas former house looked at least interesting and unique. The issue is Disney's timeless franchise land experiences are all going to Japan. It's not like Magic Kingdom had the Beauty and the Beast added that Tokyo has. There's expansion potential where storybook circus is. If Japan continues with more on Disney's beloved films in the future for Aladdin for instance then Magic Kingdom is in trouble. I'm afraid anything new here for WDW will have budget cuts and won't be top notch as the international projects are.

As others have said, 5th Gate is not even in the conversation at this point....and even if it was I fear it would be so value engineered after having to build a new park, all new infrastructure, Parking etc... An additional land would seem more doable... So Villain's Lair please... No to Coco and Zootopia

I’m pretty young so unless it’s like over 60 years I can wait for it. I know no discussions have taken place for a 5th gate but to me a villains land that’s the size of galaxy’s edge would really only be what 2 attractions and maybe a show? That’s too small of a scope compared to the wide catalogue of villains they have at their disposal which I think would be better suited for an entire villains theme park.
Obviously if it’s significantly bigger than galaxy’s edge with like 4 attractions and plenty of villain representation then my opinion would be different. My only point is if they say something is the size of galaxy’s edge or pandora that’s nice but it’s just a lot of empty space with only 2 rides and no shows.

Yeah, coloring with Sleeping Beauty was truly going to be a unique and timeless experience. A true E-Ticket.

I wonder what the THC was gonna be on those things. Mine Train isn't especially great shakes when it comes to capacity, but I kinda struggle to see how those plussed-up meet and greets they proposed could have fared any better.
