    Is the Spirit of Aloha dinner show coming back?

    I think repeatability is also an issue. We loved the hoop de doo when we first saw it but when you go back you can see where its scripted, still fun but you only want to see so many times. The Luau I think had a bit more repeatability as you know its a show you are watching from the start...

    https://www.anthonypoon.com/those-were-the-days-post-modernism-and-robert-a-m-stern-architects/ The Roy E Disney building designed by Robert Stern they are trying to replicate is definitely post modern and in part based on the Euro Disney preview centre which has since been demolished...

    DHS Disney Animation-Inspired Experience Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    I will really miss the arch. It was a key part of the original design separating the ‘Hollywood that never was’ from the ‘studio’. Having 1930s Hollywood just opening into a set of jarring post modern studio buildings won’t be the same. It will take away the conceit of entering the studio from...

    DHS Disney Animation-Inspired Experience Coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios

    I don’t like this. It looks worse than the current archway and art deco buildings IMO. I don’t think many people will even know what it is supposed to be. I would much rather have seen a toontown type area to house the classic characters

    Carousel of Progress refurb?

    Maybe they could add the Walt animatronic from Disneyland as an introduction in the first theatre and/or a farewell in the last one that would give a publicity boost to boost ridership. There is plenty of footage of walt taking about COP they could use

    Americas 250 year celebration

    Maybe a new film for hall of presidents or golden dreams at American adventure. Its a shame that the rivers of America and Tom Sawyer island wont be around that would have been a good area for a US celebration

    What is the #1 Disney IP you’d like to see come to DLR with DL Forward?

    I voted for jungle book (the animated version). I’ve always thought it would be perfect as a splash type ride but maybe that would go better in another resort like Hong Kong As a Brit Iand a Londoner I love the idea of victorian London land though. Walt loved English literature so I think it...

    Walt Disney – A Magical Life

    If it was about Walt they should have tried to use someone who knew him while they are still with us. Dick van D, Julie Andrews, Hailey Mills, or Kurt Russell would be on my list but I’m sure there would be others people can think of

    Japan Trip Booked - Your Recommendations or Advice?

    For quick serve I’d also try grandma sarah in critter country (great food and you basically eat in splash mountain). In Disney sea I love volcania (steam punk chinese) Ikspari has some good choices as well - there is a great okonomiyaki place on the top floor

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    I think an attack at DLP would be as or more likely than one in Abu Dhabi but saying that I think there are there more likely targets. I agree the impact on wider tourism would be the main impact, especially as the resort will rely heavily on international tourists rather than locals

    News Disney and Miral Announce New Seventh Theme Park Planned for Abu Dhabi

    For a sense of scale Tehran and Abu Dhabi are about 750 miles apart which is about the same as WDW to Cincinnati.
