These were brought over from DL. Again, you've made my point. "They're in DL. Who cares if they were brought over from there. Bulldoze them anyway." I don't think so.

Oh. So "Walt" Disney World no longer matters? Wow.

He matters to some people but not the ones running the company today.
So there’s no point in arguing what he would have liked or disliked. No one knows and it doesn’t matter to the company in any case.

Large Language Models (aka LLMs) is good for some things, horrible at others. Computer language syntax and mathematical computation are ok as they don't have any semantics.
Which "Walt" ? The Disney persona which is curated and interpreted continuously by the company to fit their current narrative or what we can interpret from the personal actions of the man Walt Disney ?

It’s hard to “both sides” this when there is ample history suggesting that Walt (the man) would’ve done nothing of the sort, and probably more evidence that he would’ve resisted that sort of encroachment.
I agree with a lot of this. I am not sure if it’s an operational concern to have so much activity zig zagging on top of one another or just creative laziness, but the newer lands, while “pretty” have a soullessness to them. Visual looks? 9/10. Soundscapes? 9/10. Physical kinetic energy? 2/10. Of course, Instagram is not a good place to capture that kinetic nuance, and we know who they design for now (not kids, not adults, but the ‘Gram).
They're also being removed for IPs that Walt had a direct hand in: Disney Villains.

Not really - Villians and the rivers could have existed together. Maybe even add a pirate ship for hook!

Villains is on the other side of the RR tracks. This is all on Cars.

No, it isn’t. Cars is only taking the lower portion of the Rivers of America.

Every diagram I've seen has never shown anything removed from the upper portion. Sure, there may be a walkway under the tracks to Villains. But all indications have been on the other side of the tracks.
Cars is the bottom half of the river, Villains is the top half, within the train track loop.
Yes.
And Disney avoids calling Piston Peak a "land." It is part of a land, namely, Frontierland. It's an "area."
You are mis-reading the indications.
On the other side of the tracks are the laydown yards. And since Piston Peak and Villains Land are being built at the same time, this indicates that the laydown yards are not the future site of Villains Land.
Yes they could.
But that possibility is not what my post was about.
Fact is, that part of the RoA will become Villains Land. And thus, RoA is being given up -- in part -- for Walt's IP.

Some of y’all should take a break and go outside and set something different on fire for a change. I mean it is the 4th.

It has nothing to do with accepting what he wanted.
It has everything to do with accepting that his wishes - whatever they would have been - have no bearing on modern day WDW. Just accept that.

Does that mean they shouldn’t be discussed?
