Does anyone know if they might stream the Parks & Experiences Showcase this year? (even if for a cost)

Reversely, why now for UAE park expansion? UAE has been dangling cash in front of Disney since the Eisner days.

In light of the Abu Dhabi announcement, it makes sense that Disney will want UAE's reciprocal involvement (and $ investment) in other Disney entities, like media production and parks. All of Disney's global parks have presence in Epcot, except for Abu Dhabi. There's not a lot of global countries...

Sometime in the past 18-24 months I came across a Disney patent that had very clear visualizations of what Space 220 might look like. I know it had rounded screen images. I don't know what the patent was for but was hoping someone might know what I'm talking about and can point me in the right...

Good example. Hmm.....maybe I need to include a time frame in my theory too. The Disney of today is much more IP-focused than yesterday. I think I'm mostly right, though?

#1 IP's are supplemented with ride technology. IP's are first and foremost. Sometimes technology is created without an IP in mind. That's when Disney works to determine where it fits best within a legacy brand. #2 All rides have a half-life and are considered into the overall production...

The question of whether or not a ride is implemented well is a whole separate debate lol

Definitely a balance between the two. Yes, by my theory, Fast and Furious (regardless if we think it's a good movie franchise or not) has proved itself in box office sales over a long period of time and sequels won't stop, thereby upholding audience interest over the foreseeable future. I'm...

Am I the only one who thinks that the Simpsons is a very slowly dying franchise not relevant to today's teens? IMO, the only reason why Disney would build a Simpsons attraction is because it's a legacy franchise for older adults. I actually put Aerosmith coaster in the same category....it would...

supposedly some announcement coming Wednesday. some sort of building structure. may not even be Parks-related. I will delete this thread if my inside source turns out to be a dud. just wanted to share!

I always go back to the 2017 D23 Epcot concept art and realize how many details we overlooked because they were obscure....only to realize they were legit pieces of the puzzle.

But kind of seriously though, @MisterPenguin why would Disney feel the need to include it in the art? Even if the land expansion does butt up to the showplace pavilion, why would we care at this point so early in the process?

I'm going to secretly pretend it's a show building ;)

Has anyone talked about this weird blob of horizontal lines in the concept art? It doesn't match the faux background with the clock tower or the building chimneys on the right hand side. And IMO, it's colored go-away-green.....which can only mean to me that it's a show building. Also, have...

I bet it will be built on the bus tracker backbone they already have installed at some resorts. And like someone else here said, that system isn't always reliable. And everyone needs to stop complaining about the bus ETA. We all know that bus arrivals vary and don't often stick to schedule...
