I hope so. It feels like this is a good foundation to build on and add floats as time goes on. A friend of mine who is a local and has been to every Disney theme park globally gave this parade a B+. It’s a good start. I look forward to seeing this in person during our upcoming fall visit.

I wonder if the Spiderman coaster will be the same as the upcoming villain's land coaster. A clone but rethemed to save money perhaps?

I did not realize there were fire effects.

Nothing personal - just a reality of the acknowledgment of space available and what can be done with the space. Seeing what happens in other parks relates to potential decisions for MK. How to fit Moana into the existing adventure land in Magic Kingdom has been discussed. If the magic Kingdom...

It’s not random. It’s related. Often what happens at other parks is an indicator of plans/clones for other Disney parks. Moana is rumored for MK. The tiki room at MK has been rumored for years to be removed. Seeing how Tokyo’s Adventureland is being reworked absolutely relates to potential...

I would not be upset if the treehouse in MK went away or bigger, better things.

In exchange for …. ????? Marvel?

And I remember thinking that the Entrance was the only redeeming part of WDS. I see they are improving it even more. Cinemagic was impressive too. You make a good point. Spider-Man would be too similar to midway mania.

Is there room and a desire to add midway mania to the Paris Toy Story Land? If the Cars road trip (catastrophe Canyon) closes, that would free up much room. It just feels like WDS is very light on actual rides. Such a beautiful expansion is happening now at the park and is very needed, but where...

Great. Now I miss Hunchback. Another show that was a must see. Why? The live singing was phenomenal. Felt like Broadway. Sooooo good. Back on Villains, can we have the Villains’s candy shop back? I broke my “Evil Queen” mug. Need another one ☕️

Nemo and Friends at Animal Kingdom used to be a glorious 40 min until they reduced it to a sad 25 min. due to guest/children's attention spans. The new 25 min version does not make me want to see it again whereas before, the show was a MUST for me each visit. Nemo and Friends used to feel like...

Stitch looks like Toothless from “How to Train Your Dragon” cause it was the same character designer. The character designer for both Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch) and Toothless (from How to Train Your Dragon) is Chris Sanders. He created Stitch and was heavily involved in the development of How...

"I hope no one out there is allergic to ACID" Makes me howl with laughter every time. I will miss all the Broadway musical show poster puns. Hysterical. I can't tell you how often we have brought up Claire DeRoom at home. It still makes me laugh. I always thought it would be a good name for a...

The queue for Peter Pan is really well done. Definitely part of the immersion and draw of the ride.

Here are the A, B, Cs of the ticketing system (Dec 1970) for some historical perspective in case anyone is interested.
