Ambitious in concept not in scope. For what it is it's fine and perfectly in line with EPCOT's theme. Is it better than what it replaced, absolutely not.

Most of Shanghai is hideous and it is basically what all the parks would look like if they had been built under Iger, aesthetically underwhelming and loaded with nothing but IP-based attractions.

Toy Story is very popular, beloved and successful, The Park lands based on it is one of the cheapest looking things WDI has ever built in the history of Disney Theme Parks.

They said the same thing about version two of JII. The fact that the arguably worse compromise version is still there twenty-four years later notwithstanding.
I can't even think of a situation where an attraction was relocated (within the same resort). Tho, I'm sure there may have been rare one or two examples.
If MV3D wasn't relocated...

Festival of Lion King.
Also Magic Journeys went from Epcot to Magic Kingdom.
I’m trying to think of anything else…. Now I’m curious!

A Zootopia land doesn't fit in another park. Maybe at DHS but it would be too repetitive with Monsters Inc. land.

Beauty And The Beast stage show when Sunset Blvd was built.

Quick question, what's the most recently-built (as in, since 2015) attraction to have closed and been replaced? Are there any?
...I guess Launch Bay would count? Has that closed yet?

Indeed, I doubt anyone understands or buys the idea you are in Andy's backyard and the backstory for Slinky Dog Dash is one of the most contrived things I have ever heard.

We could throw in Animation Academy if we really wanted to... Altho, much easier to relocate of course.
One could also argue Mickey Mouse Revue was relocated being shipped overseas and Carousel of Progress across the country.
'64 worlds fair attractions... And I wouldnt put it past Disney to just move laugh floor to the glob but who knows.

I’m surprised it’s lasted as long as it has - it’s not cheap to run. The voice actors are equity and they need CM’s in the theatre to help with mics for guests.

Someone mentioned HWD…say goodbye to the Indy show with the large footprint and there’s the space you need for the new land…no more wayward ball taking out CM’s…

Nah, aside from paying the voice actors, its actually likely one of the cheapest attractions to run. Likely only slightly more than the Mickey Shorts Theater and Pixar Film Festival. The biggest factors in how much an attraction costs to operate are the maintenance required for mechanical elements, how much energy it needs to run, and how much labor is required to run it. Laugh Floor has only a few operations positions.
