I acknowledge that I am in the minority but I actually think the scenery aspect of the Piston Peak is going to be better than the Rivers of America. Trees and rock formations and cascading water and geysers versus a flat river with trees on an island that next to nobody visits. I'm sorry...

Hooray. A new sign.

Honestly, this has almost no effect on me. There is zero chance I would visit that park. The downside is that imagineering will be spending a bunch of time on projects that I will never enjoy and ignoring the ones that I might.

Honestly, I do not have a problem with the announced carousel and swings attractions. The footprints for those attractions really could not hold much of anything else. I'm happy when they give us something to do.

What would be the first sign of "actual construction progress" on a Disneyland Forward project?

As a guy who booked a November 2024 trip to DLR about 5 months ago and paid for Genie+ as part of my ticket purchase....any idea how I am affected by this?

I mean I get the "hidden gem" concept. But I think we're beyond that at this point. Maybe if Disney hadn't spent the last 20 years building a kajillion hotel rooms and zero new parks.

Rando question.....would it have been possible to drop a Grizzly River Rapids clone right on top of Tom Sawyer Island? Just curious.

Couldn't this just be the first decided ride concept for the DCA extension across the street in the Disneyland Forward area? Jack at DSNY Broadcast thought that way.

I think the Area between A and B on the art with the snow capped peaks, pine trees and river rapids will be more picturesque than the existing island. Its not as big of course but its more profound to me. My only complaint is that I would appreciate 3 attractions in the space than 2.

Sorry kiddos….we’re not riding this new technologically cutting edge ride, grandma and grandpa can’t get past the thematic inconsistencies from the park in 1975. I know you’re only 8 but go read your Mark Twain.

I must be a spazz because I am actually looking forward to this. An offroad Cars ride through Pine trees and red rocks? Cool by me. I also think that the Disney parks should focus on things kids like more than old boomers.

I took the plunge and added 150 points at DVC Disneyland to my contract. I understand the shortcomings but I wanted an 11 month booking option in California. With the discount offered and the buy back of the first year point (which was over 10% of the total purchase price) I felt like it was a...

Is there any way to determine when they will start selling points for this DVC?
