I say keep it based around the Fab Five, but theme it more towards the rustic charm of the early Disney shorts rather than Roger Rabbit's Toontown. Toontown only works inside Car Toon Spin - it's the only place that captures the lively atmosphere that's lacking in Toontown proper. If it's...

I do enjoy Midway Mania, but for the most part I agree with you. These rides tend to become more about the novelty of the interactivity rather than the quality of the story and experience.

I'm sure Disney knows this, and I'm sure they don't care.

Why does all the concept art look like it was designed by someone who's just following Photoshop tutorials on YouTube? Maybe if they got some more impressive concept artists they'd try a little harder. From Herb Ryman and Marc Davis to this...

Instagram is the worst thing to happen to the Disney parks.

I'd love a Coco ride in DCA, but the best we'd get is probably new giant Dante rockets on the Golden Zephyr.

No I don't, but I don't think it matters. It's pretty clear that they're laying the groundwork for more of these overlays in the future. I'm not saying I want it to happen, I'm just saying its going to. S Y N E R G Y

It's worth it to Disney because the movie's made half a billion dollars. They're going to take the "parks as a giant billboard for the movies" concept and run. It worked for Mission Breakout, and then they cut corners for Incredicoaster and it still worked. Marketing at the cost of park...

I mean, from Disney's perspective, they nailed it. All it took was a tiny investment to re-skin an existing an attraction, and they nab the highest grossing animated feature of all time. What's the problem? I don't doubt that we'll see a lot more re-skins in the future. As for the actual park...

"Impossible to move" ... I can't even comprehend how WDI was told to overhaul a land but weren't given the resources to move a churro cart.

One of the things that appealed most to me about Disneyland as a kid was that it sort of terrified me. Pirates burning down villages, Yetis taking a swipe at you, leisurely car rides to Hell. I refused to look into Mara's eyes when I was finally tall enough to ride Indy. Disneyland was an...

Does anyone remember the Toy Story Funhouse in the 90s? I got to experience it after watching the movie at El Capitan Theater and again when it moved to Tomorrowland. There wasn't that much to it, but I think it did a way better job of putting you in the world of toys than the new Toy Story Land...

My favorite part is the "you're the size of a green army man" BS that they tried to sell after people realized how dumb it was to have giant static figures throughout the land. The entire appeal of a Toy Story area would be to feel like you're part of Woody and Buzz' gang. How do they drop the...

It should also be noted that a more generic Route 66 "Car Land" was being developed even before the movie came out. The intentions of this land were always to fit under the DCA theme.

In the past, "timeless" has meant a land that transcends modern trends, a land that can maintain its relevance through generations. Seems like Chapek's interpretation of "timeless" is a land that actually has no sense of time or place. Incredibles Land and the rest of Pixar Pier seem to fit...
