Shanghai and I believe Paris will be getting new gates at some point, but I still think Disneyland Forward will be Anaheim's final opportunity for a 3rd gate and they will pull the trigger on it.

Saw this show a couple of weeks ago. Way too hectic. Way too chaotic. Couldn’t really follow any sense of story. I’d honestly write this is one of the worst attraction changeovers in recent memory. Maybe I’ll like it more after another watch or two, but this feels like a big step backwards in...

I'm certainly aware where the quote comes from. I think a better use case of "Blessing of Size" is comparing to WDW to DLR. "Blessing of size" is 4 theme parks, a major shopping district, 2 water parks, golf courses and a ton of hotels. More attractions are generally good, but "quality...

"Blessing of size" is also a frustrating phrase repeated by so many here. Sure in a vacuum, let's keep what we have and expand but theme park real estate isn't in a vacuum. They have a chance to increase efficiencies with some of these replacements. Let's look at some: Nobody was rope...

They love that Moana blue sky art. It’s going to go somewhere.

Yes, but that doesn't make it garbage.

I’ll give D’Amaro a shot. Mildly optimistic because of his parks background. Chapek was a disaster and Iger runs were a mixed bag for me. I want to see something bold from D’Amaro. 3rd gate at DLR? Another castle park in USA? Major expansions to all WDW parks beyond the initial...

After Buzz comes back at MK, time for a Mania update/refurb?

I do think while what you are saying is mostly accurate, they do post hours of the Boardwalk at their app (6:30 AM to 10:00 PM) which makes that outdoor unique from other resort offerings. EDIT - @surfsupdon beat me to it.

I know you’re sort of playing, but I would be more nervous about Jungle Cruise. Fortunately WDW has double down a bit on those attractions ironically with Beak and Barrel and Skipper’s Canteen. JC footprint is massive though.

Really thought this post captured my thoughts as well. I love that AK is a blend of what it is. How much “animals” are we losing by going from Dinoland to Tropical Americas, one small exhibit? Maybe there was more at one point? But it’s minimal from the recent state. I’m all about what can...

It is awful, but I'm okay if it lives on for a few hours a day for the kiddos, but it should mostly take a back seat to an updated Impressions. With Disneyland Adventure World opening in March, this really seems like a time to play some promos or setup some exhibits like they do in China. At...

Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along also has no show times listed beyond February 22. It's unclear whether the sing-along will continue during the refurbishment or if the entire theater will be closed. Nobody cares about the sing along haha. EDIT: wouldn't be completely shocked if they tried to...

I’m sorry I’ll be more diplomatic. Two posters in the last pages said they are done with Animal Kingdom and thinks that Dinoland USA was the last integral part of Animal Kingdom. I don’t get why Tropical Americas is a bad fit.

Just the underperforming attractions.
