I got it! TROR stands for "The Rise of Resistance!"

Is it a resistance to the changes at Disneyland? Or perhaps he's a closet Star Wars fan?

Or maybe it's something totally different, idk.

@TROR posted a list of 30 of his favorite movies and two of them were Star Wars films. I believe both of you have similar opinions on TLJ (that it is a good movie). He is definitely an open Star Wars to a certain degree. I mean I’ve seen people who consider themselves Star Wars fans and call Luke Skywalker something like “Randal Sand”.

no. let them wonder.

some things are better left up to the imagination.

This might be cause for a new one of our unofficial WDWmagic Gangs... er, social clubs- The "I know what TROR stands for" club

What's the general consensus on the Disney characters inside Small World? That whole thing was about a decade ago- does the fan community like it now?

I don’t know what the general concensus is, but my opinion is that if it wasn’t for the music that accompanies the figures it wouldn’t be that bad. The America scene is far worst in my eyes, specially due to copying the scene from DLP (which intentionally looked different than Disneyland’s) probably just so they could add Toy Story characters.

Personally, I dislike the additions. The dolls themselves are cute, but they shouldn’t be in the ride. They’re distractions to the whole point of the ride.

Didn't you say what it means on Micechat a few years back?

Should I reveal the secret?

Has anyone ever read the Wikipedia page for Disney attractions that were never built? About 60% of the info. is either unsourced or is vandalism.

Start another of your great threads to discuss it! This is a great topic to discuss in its own thread.

Anhone here familiar with the originals DCA layout concept art? I don’t remember much about it but I recall it having canals throughout the park. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, knows where to find it, or is in possession of it please share it as I’d love to study it again.

Maybe @George Lucas on a Bench can help you?

Random thought:

Opening day Main Street U.S.A. was closer to its turn of the century theme than we are to opening day, and if they had kept updating it to a 55 year gap it would now be themed to 1964. Early sixties cars for the Main Street Vehicles, British Invasion music, fast food, googie architecture...

Edited to add:

On second thought, it would pretty much be Cars Land without the Cars characters.

Mid century America is what Downtown Disney should be

Yuck.
No one under 100 can relate to that.

Disney Springs West would be great. Especially with a midcentury look.

No land to put a lake or ponds though.

The plot of land that was meant for Disney Quest could still be used or is there something significant currently there (as it is a backstage area as of now, but it seems like most of it is parking that could be moved elsewhere)?
