Exactly. It may be adding some expensive and high tech new rides, but it's not taking a DCA 2.0 approach to give the park a new identity. It's still gonna have the boring and concrete Production Courtyard, keep the behind the scenes theme of the Front Lot & Studio One, and have the mish-mosh of...
If you want to get technical, while Bob Iger oversaw all of these projects, I don't know if he necessarily lead them. He was in charge and had the final say, but the head of parks & resorts was the main person working and developing the new projects. The new stuff you listed is all Chapek, minus...

Typed this up and meant to submit this earlier today. Turns out I forgot to click the "post reply" button.
Fantasia Gardens
An elaborately themed hedge maze and walkthrough will come to the former Motorboat Cruise area in Fantasyland and bring this classic movie to life with fountains...
The Paris hotels are pretty reasonably priced. A family of 5 can go to Disneyland Paris for 4 days for under $2000, tickets included.
Also I'm pretty sure if you get a vacation package to Tokyo Disneyland you get anytime fastpasses but I'm not 100% sure.
Pixar Pier is a thematic mess and has a lot of cheap elements, however sections of it (entrance area, Pixar promenade, views from Paradise Park) are gorgeous.
The one thing DCA is good at is creating a great atmosphere. Besides the backlot area & from the looks of it Marvel, each area has charm. I love walking along Route 66 and eating at Flos overlooking the beautiful mountain range, I love looking at all the detail that Buena Vista Street has, I...
The area around Pooh, including the interior of the gift shop, really feels like it's always been at Disneyland. It was built in 2003 but the facade of Pooh Corner and the charm the area has feels like it could have been built in 1955.
Technically I didn't say Pooh was better, I just said that I enjoy Pooh more than Country Bears/Mr. Toad.
I wasn't alive to see Disneyland Country Bears or WDWs Toad, but I think that Disneylands Mr. Toad is a much better attraction than either of the Poohs. And I personally don't like the...
