Completely agree. The property needs FSH to be a draw.

Some images of the construction status of Fantasy Springs and the new hotel from the monorail and from the Sheraton lounge on Tuesday, March 5.

From the afternoon of Tuesday, March 5 from the monorail.

It’s sad that the best any of us can say is that this will “not be too bad” or that “we’re just lucky it’s coming back at all.” A Disney attraction should be GOOD, not “not as bad as it could have been.” What sane organization would update an attraction and make it not as good as the...

Went to the CBJ tonight at MK. Huge crowd, cheering, clapping, and loving the show. Lots of newbies among us seasoned CBJ fans. Everyone had a blast. It stings so much that we’re losing this fantastic attraction to another generic Disney movie song singalong.

The original Soarin over California was so beautifully authentic. A real love letter to the subject matter, down to Jerry Goldsmith’s incredible score. The new Soarin around the world is way too performative and formulaic. The music is derivative without being engaging. The scenes are too...

I’d rather have it torn out completely than exist in a lesser state. I’m tired of Disney ruining attractions then expecting popularity because of a collective nostalgia of the original attraction. They pull that consistently. I want to like the actual attraction - not just have a memory of...

So they get terrible visit metrics and revert to the original, like what they did with the disaster that was Tiki Room Under New Management.

This is terrible news. CBJ is one of the few unique attractions at MK. Heck, it’s one of the few unique attractions at any Disney-owned Disney park anywhere in the world. This new version will be a hollow shell of what the attraction is now. Imagination, Impressions de France, Tiki Room...

If this “back to normal” doesn’t include the elimination of the park pass, then it isn’t a return to normal.

I’m lucky enough to have visited all but two of the the resorts (not yet done Hong Kong and Shanghai). None of the current parks fills me with wonder and inspiration the way EPCOT did. Even the incredible quality of Tokyo DisneySea, subtle relaxation of California Adventure, and surprising...

We all like to talk about EPCOT as the technology park or the edutainment park. I’ve always viewed it more simply. At WDW, the Magic Kingdom was the “magical” park. EPCOT was the “inspiration” park. Disneyland was also a “magical” park Tokyo Disneyland was also also a “magical” park In the...

It looks like something you’d find 2 blocks northeast of Ala Moana Blvd. Totally clashes with the theme of the Polynesian Village.

Or actual scenes from the attractions as they debuted over the last 50 years. We know they have that video because we’ve all seen it.

This is exactly it. WDW is turning 50, but they are celebrating using mostly generic Disney stuff. Movie scenes, music, even the park statues - many are just generic Disney and not specifically celebrating WDW and the incredibly unique world that Disney created in WDW. It seems the larger and...
