i hate that this is being advertised as new content for the parks when you couldve had this experience on youtube now or on a VHS like 20 years ago.

They need to just make a new night time parade in a similar aesthetic lighting wise with more references to WDW

right, it's always non-Earth that is futuristic in the case of using alien movies as a motivation for futurism.

Buzz is totally based off the space-age astronaut hype during the Cold War (hence why he's designed to be opposite of Woody) and Stitch is literally an alien criminal who crashlands on Earth, stalked by both his creator, a galactic federation, and a CIA Operative. They're both superbly sci-fi...

Looking at all the food they released with Arrendelle Aqua because of Frozen 2, along with the weekly NEW FOOD AT DISNEY: MICKEY'S____ CUPCAKE articles published across multiple sites pretty much every single day had me thinking about Disney investing in food. I don't even remember when the...

Honestly portion sizes at restaurants. I've been going to WDW for years as a kid so I knew the water is gross, which rides to hit up first, etc. Now that I'm in my twenties and going with friends and paying for my own food, it's been a bit of a hassle to figure out which restaurant would give...

Also those museums are such rip offs. In NYC we have a new pop up "museum" of these every week, in the same city where there is a crazy amount of art to look at and experience in actual institutions. They're pricey: some start at 25 dollars, and peak at almost 50 for entrance, and on the latter...

I'm in the minority that loves Dino-Rama--I love the cheesiness of it, the restaurant/store have amazing theming to me. HOWEVER If they had ever planned to invest more in it, I feel as though the "parody ride" that Primeval Whirl is supposed to be of DINOSAUR should have been a dark ride based...

Might have something to do with Joe Rohde showing executives around??

The GEAR on the walkway under the sign is going to look so out of place soon

The Streamline Moderne was in that old Art Deco font the sign used to have. I don’t think Disney finds they can make it look futuristic as much as a space age Googie can be done.

Rob Plays is my absolute favorite. He picks such fascinating themes. Defunctland is the main and biggest one though. If you look into it all they’re all really close friends. I actually emailed Defunctland offering to help research for their videos but he didn’t respond. :/

I think the Sci-Fi City concept was loosely applied to MK Tomorrowland but maybe that's why I thought he had worked on it a bit. You know, because there were "convention centers" and such

I think what made 94 Tomorrowland so successful is the cohesive story/"sci fi city" ala Eddie Soto (was he the imagineer in charge?) It was so thoroughly convincing to me as a kid; I would see the posters along the queue for The Timekeeper for conventions in space and wondered why I couldn't go.

I really don't understand the Purple Wall craze.
