If they're leaning into the Walt Disney heritage and nostalgia, they should also convert the fourth scene back to a version of the original 1960s iteration while they're at it. Tom Selleck IMO if you want someone who sounds almost exactly like Jean Shepherd. He provided the voice for a...

Whimsy being an "original" character is hilarious, it's literally just Casey Jr. Which is a stretch to even call a character to begin with.

I'd argue that plopping coasters and autopias (it was for Test Track btw, World of Motion was already replaced by it in these plans) in front of these pavilions were also concerning ideas that would make things look like a hot mess. The original transportation pavilion had some sort of Test...

Fastpass and especially Fastpass+/Genie is what caused the Haunted Mansion line to balloon to the length it is today. As it does with every ride. It was frequently a walk-on (or close to it) prior to the introduction of any of these skip the line systems. Even the old paper fastpass system was...

For me it's way further back. Mid 90s when Horizons lost its sponsor and went seasonal (culminating in eventual closure) and World of Motion closing. Followed by Imagination. I knew the writing was on the wall even at that point, and I was still a young child at the time. I cringe just thinking...

Christmas? I think you meant a different holiday...

As J4546 said, the Club 33 lounge isn't particularly close to the Festival theater. There's nearly 150 feet of distance between the two. Most walkways at Animal Kingdom are typically 20-30 feet wide at most (except for hubs and the entrance area). So there's a ton of space to create entries into...

Was it actually an older plan? I thought it was just a less impressive scaled down version with only interior scenes. I also think it did have drops, but smaller ones ala Pirates or Frozen instead of a big one. Think it was said to be a D ticket instead of Paris' E (I assume it's an E anyway)...

I can only go by descriptions of the scene, given that I doubt any of us saw it. But i'm not sure I 100% agree with the interpretation that the bride is implied to have killed him. Unless this has been confirmed to have been the intent from the people who created the ride. It's a plausible...

You or someone else can correct me if i'm way off about this regarding how buildings work, but is that even a likely location for a fire escape? It's close to the center of the show building. Here's a layout of WDW's HM, and i've circled the place where Hattie would have gone in blue- The DL...

I'm judging Florida's Constance when I say it's terrible. I've never seen CA's Constance in person to know how bad it is. Probably, but Constance's characterization doesn't create fear anyway. She is far too corny and poorly done to take her seriously, there's nothing scary about her. The new...

I don't remember what the term was, but it's not weird at all that someone might mix those words up. Both are pretty broad terms. Either way, I'm not interested in arguing over vocabulary. I just want to know what the problem allegedly was. I'm also curious if multiple people were told about it...

I still want to know the details about what was supposedly different about Florida's ride that was preventing them from just replicating the same exact scene from Disneyland. The story was that there were structural challenges that made it very cost prohibitive to expand the balcony and install...

No one cares about that bomb. And hopefully the fact that it DID bomb will prevent further idiotic crap from that movie being shoehorned into the ride. Hatbox was designed to be in the attic by the people who built the original ride (people who had actual talent in the field of theme park...
