A Spirited Perfect Ten

I hope its another mountain!

Where did this rumor start? Now they are expanding frontier land? That cannot be part of the budget board approved.

Not sure beyond @whylightbulb suggests it is happening. I havent heard this but hey, my spies are on the beach with Hans Gruber earning 20%....

Exactly what this entails..... IDK.

While Incredibly cool, I don't think the WRE would resonate with modern audiences. Cowboys and the old west seems a tad passe.... sad to say.

I seriously don't understand why people wish for cloned attractions or bygone and long forgotten things that were passed over for various reasons.

I want something new and something that no one ever heard of.

I'm okay with old concepts if they are completely revamped to be made fresh but I'm not a fan of the western river expedition. Its a little too long and not fresh enough. I would love something on the darker side to add contrast to the light nature of frontierland.

Maybe something involving a mountain and getting caught in a blizzard or a trek ride out west on the Oregon Trail filled with thrills. But thats blue sky and not getting into that.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Well color me surprised with this newest rumor about a Frontierland expansion at WDW. That is far from the first land that I would think the bigwigs would be improving. But hey, I'll take it!

I am not buying it. Just does not seem like the park that needs to most love right now or even the area. If this land gets love it needs people eating rides family rides not more mountains as they have two.

does not make sense

It's easier to see what's cool about an idea that's been fleshed out or developed than one that hasn't yet been made public. Especially in days like this when Disney's recent outings haven't all been hits, a new idea that isn't a guaranteed smash vs. something like Indiana Jones or Western River Expedition which have verifiable attributes can easily end up with people hoping for the latter.

That said, I agree with you. I want Disney producing new attractions that raise the bar higher than we knew we could hope for. They used to pretty consistently, and there should be no reason they can't anymore.

I don't think for example that the Stars and Stripes and the tribute to the flag has an expiration date, at least I hope not.

While love of country should never go out of style, the way we express that love certainly does. Imagine a 1944 USO show being played in 1984 Disney World? Wouldn't it feel retro/nostalgia-based? Because you're looking at the same spread of time.

In 2001 walt disney world did run the main street electrical parade with jingle bells over the music. Quite possibly the biggest upgrade to the parade there has been in the past 20 years... of course, it didn't last! Heaven forbid anything too seasonal runs!

I wish they brought that back for the return of MSEP since it's third return to WDW.

People eating family rides and E-Ticket are not mutually exclusive. I have no idea what's in the cards, if truly anything (though I trust whylightbulb), but Frontierland E-Ticket does not automatically mean a new mountain.

It could use some love. MK needs more capacity in addition to drawing people away from it. IMO.

I'm older then dirt, yet 1944 was before my time, so I'm not sure that what I am seeing is from that vintage. Could be, but, it's not something that I have ever thought about, nor plan too! It is "large" and larger then it needs to be, but, I do not associate it with any specific time frame.

If Liberty Square ever sees an expansion I want a terrifying Sleepy Hollow ride.

Never gonna happen.

That or a Hocus Pocus addition. The Sanderson sisters were alive during colonial times. I picture a replica of their house placed somewhere near the old explorer canoe launch.

Hmmm I'm guessing there is a good chance tom sawyer island will be going bye bye for this new E ticket.....

Bill Murray was at comic con. I'm in Boston now and ghost busters is filming here. Haven't seen any film production yet tho. Dang it. I am here for both U2 shows starting tonight. So happy

I saw Bill Murray in Chicago over the 4th of July weekend at a Grateful Dead Show.

My one thought is that it does make sense if they used this expansion to open up land on the north side of Rivers of America -- which would be a way to significantly add guest space and capacity to the park.

You have a source for that one or more Endless Speculation?

I am all for late 70s-early 80s era Bette Midler shakin her thing.
