Probably the same reason they're not doing anything for California Adventure's 25th anniversary in February

I think that’s more because DCA 3.0 is just getting started and they have nothing to actually show for it
Like what are they really supposed to do there? Happy birthday we are shutting half the park to expand it

New 2026/7 brochure now out. No new map yet. Confirmation that Frozen's main store will be called Arendelle Boutique and the merch stand will be called Fjord View

Makes sense. This was always a way of getting Frozen into the parks before World of Frozen opened. Hopefully the next production gives a hint at what they are considering for a future expansion... Moana?

How do you feel about them aiming end of Spring like may May, just before the summer rush starts?

I hear you. A semi-objective checklist of attractions makes the WDSP redo sound very bland.
I find there’s increasingly the subjective wrapping that matters more than you think it should. A lot is to be said about DAW simply having nice vistas, trees, dining a night show and finally logistical bones about it to allow its attraction menu to shine.
Feeling like a park and not a parking lot makes a world of difference.

I think that would just be needlessly delaying it even more

It's why they went to the trouble to replace all the asphalt with new paving in the original park area

Is frozen the most impressive fascade compared to actual ride experience…in the world?
It looks incredible, but we know what lies within is good but doesn’t match.

Do we know there's no upgrades or changes at all?

Disney’s “Victorian” styling had become more and more recursive. A copy of a copy of a copy rather disconnected from its supposed inspiration. Art Nouveau is easier to fake. There’s no centuries old tradition behind the ornamentation that you have to get right. You flip on some curvy bits and floral patterns and voila! Nothing epitomizes this better than the Skyliner station at the International Gateway where they bent some flat metal for the entrance marquee.

It is a clone of the plussed version from Hong Kong. I rode it recently and whilst it is the same ride as Epcot there are some subtle improvements they were able to achieve as it was built as new and not an overlay of Maelstrom. Some scenes are a bit bigger, the boats run slower, the drop is a bit steeper etc. Overall it is a nice improvement.
Mermaid Adventure and Dwarfs Train in Orlando spring to mind
plus this will be a brand new experience to most people in europe. and the first log flume ride in a euro disney park

There is also something to be said about how much the actual vibe of the land improves the actual ride experience
HK’s arendelle is incredible, it’s probably Disney’s best land in a long time (since probably the original opening of disneysea) and it fully immerses you in arendelle which makes the ride experience way better than weirdly frozenfied Norway
I’m not sure if Paris will fully replicate this as it lacks HK’s cross harbour vista and the kinetic energy of wandering oaks but I believe it’s also set to have a larger mountain backdrop because HK’s blends into lantau so it doesn’t need the mountain to wrap the entire land

Am I the only one here who actually likes SDMT for what it is? It's a heckuva lot better than Lady Tremaine's mansion and Pixie Hollow!

I like it and it’s really not that hard to ride with a reasonable wait (without paying). Like so many rides, it feels different after a 30-min wait than a 90-min wait.

Such a weird perspective makes it’s hard to really discern a size. The avenue looks like it’s a mile long while the lagoon looks like a puddle
That’s the current layout of WDS. Would the lagoon start before the upper tip where cars is or be even further up. Does anyone have like a “current plans overlaid on current map
