[Biff215]

Here are the top 15 most stream Disney songs on Spotify. Pick another show you'd like to see, maybe High School Musical?

While I see where you’re going with this and appreciate the data, I wouldn’t necessarily use streaming of songs as a way to determine the popularity of a potential show. Disney knows they have a bunch of box office hits that also stream well on D+. Mermaid was just the easy choice so they didn’t have to start from scratch.

So what would you pick and why?

So what would you pick and why?

Hercules has been mentioned which I could see but Tangled is the most underutilized hit with a great soundtrack. I wish they would have had a plan from the start to keep the shows at MGM/DHS fresh, then you could capitalize on the latest and greatest without them becoming stale. For the frequent guest, LM and BatB both became easy skips after a decade or so.

Again, I’m thrilled to see them reopen the theater and even freshen up the show, but if DHS was the only place LM was represented, I’d understand it more.

So what would you pick and why?

I'd probably pick something more obscure or ask DLE to come up with something that isn't a straight retelling of an IP, while also not being a Wonderous Book-style mashup... An extension to a property, something that's not been done in decades except on the cruise ships. The property is another question though. This choice wouldn't be popular with the general public sadly...

Wow, look at this stuff, isn't it neat?

It would be great if the park was complete.

"Walt Disney famously envisioned Disneyland as a place "that will never be completed," stating it would "continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world". This philosophy of constant improvement and innovation is a core tenet of Disney parks and has led to ongoing changes and additions"

Even Walt knew back then, that Disneyland would never be completed, hence WDW is 50 times larger than Disneyland.

Disneyland had more to do on opening years than DHS has in 2025.

But let me put new continuing parody of part of your world lyrics for you.

quoting dead founder, gee that's sure bold,
Complete in the context, means a theme park day whole.

Yeah those Mule rides were definitely comparable to Rise of the Resistance

For the time, a lot was amazing at DL.

And was a net gain.

Seems silly to compare direct 70 years of theme park advancement wotj an E ticket of a few years ago to a side attraction if 1955 don't you think?

would you think you just might be missing the point...on everything?

Seems silly to compare direct 70 years of tjeme.park advancement don't you think?

Yeah, it does. So why’d you do it?

 

[celluloid]

To show how silly the quote of Walt's 1950s PR was to a parody of a showtune
Of how DHS is in rough shape.

to quote without reading is silly. Adding more emotion than needed galore. You are a company apologist, they got plenty, but who cares? No big deal? Guests want more.

I read the Walt quote. It doesn’t change the silliness of your comparison.

No park should ever be considered “complete”

DHS has capacity issues and needs more weak attractions. Rough shape is a little extreme.

Yeah...I think based on the response most people got the context of a complete
day experience of a theme park. Well-rounded if you will. You are reaching when saying well Walt said his theme parks should never be complete, so your points of the park not feeling like a complete day are invalid.
We understand how attractions are supposed to work to stay in business.

Admission for FL residents around 60 dollars a day for four days, a price of nearly 20 years ago means he park has a demand issue, not a capacity problem.

Opening Galaxy's Edge, Toy Story and all the other investments (MRR and this, a new version back of something that did not need to close for so long) and it is in a weird place with so much money spent.

That is why people laughed at my initial joke lyrics.

You don't need to toe the company line.

I’m in agreement that the park needs more smaller attractions to round out its offerings. I said that. I agree that the park does not currently offer a good well rounded experience for most guests.

It’s still silly to compare the number of attractions to that of Disneyland 70 years ago.

I don’t understand the constant need to beat dead horses on this forum.

We already know the state of DHS.

Why certain posters constantly need to bring it up including making non sensical arguments is beyond me.

Yes. Yes it is.

DHS with its corporate ownership of the Walt Disney company should have more to do where it does not have a "capacity problem."

Hoorway, we both used terms we can semantically question!


It was just an appreciated lyrical parody.

We wanna be... like Universal
We wanna see... wanna see 'em waiting
Standing in line for those... what do you call 'em?
Oh, E-Tickets

Bus-bar dark rides won't get you too far
Thrills are required for bigger profits
And also some of those... what's that word again?
Screeeeeeeeens!

...I tried.

It’s a pity, given the current the current state, that their next project will be an E-ticket coaster that will probably break down a lot. It’ll be cool but it’s not really what the park needs. It already has several of WDW’s best E-tickets.

It's almost the worst possible choice for the park.

It really doesn't need another E-ticket at all right now, but a coaster (even if it's a low intensity family coaster) makes it that much worse. The park is already heavy on thrill rides.

Compared to DHS opening day lineup, of 8 listed attractions, DHS will have 20 attractions when Mermaid and Villains opens, dropping down to 19 when Muppet Vision closes. Once the Monsters Door Coaster and Monsters Stage Show open, DHS will have 21 attractions, the largest number of attractions that park would have ever had. DHS just suffers from a lack of rides, with most of its filler attractions being shows. And if you're not into the shows, the attraction lineup just looks small
