With the way things are heading, I'm holding out hope the dreamlights return will be an announcement at D23.

Something like that. I imagine that would have been almost an entire gutting of the ride.

The "whole" may still be strong, the issue lies in what’s getting lost in the process, and whether future changes might add up to a shift in what Disney really is. You give them an inch, they might take a mile. With the Rivers, they took 10 miles.

Of course removing it may not ruin the entire experience, but it does take away a unique, irreplaceable part of what made Disney feel different from other parks. It's a shame really, because if they can touch this, I have no reason to believe they couldn't justify demolishing anything else we...

The problem is we are dumbing down the integral experience of what makes Disney special to caring about "a river."

I really don't think they are gonna go small with Frozen, though.

Fair enough. Just hope they don't build it too late is all.

Same. Probably the main reason they haven't done it yet is so they could experiment with the lands internationally, see what works best, then bring the best possible version to Disneyland. Which is smart. Disneyland desperately needs it to succeed, because likely it is going in prime real estate...

I really wonder if they'll just scrap Avatar entirely. Fire and Ash just didn't do as well as its predecessors. I really don't want them to fall into the same trap as Galaxy's Edge and Marvel. In the late 2010s, Marvel and Star Wars were all the internet could talk about, Marvel especially was...

Thanks! Just trying to remind the "soccer mom" vacationers what makes it all special. 😂

It is unfortunate and I agree that the park should offer new and exciting experiences. I'm actually looking forward to the Cars ride very much. But for a resort that brags about its blessing of size, Walt Disney World is cannibalizing itself so much that I’m starting to think WDI is taking for...

Fair enough. But im my opinion nobody is going to Disney to “see a river.” They’re going to experience a place where the river is part of the storytelling. Reducing it to “I can see a real one for free” just means you’re only valuing things at their most literal level. That’s like saying...

And yeah. Sometimes I do have a problem with the way some people run their Disney trips. When your ‘vacation’ turns into a nonstop sprint, it creates stressed, impatient, and entitled behavior, especially toward cast members when something doesn’t go your way, like missing a Lightning Lane...

I’m 24, so let’s not turn this into the usual ‘older generation vs younger generation’ excuse. This isn’t about age. It’s about mindset. No one’s saying you’re wrong for running ride to ride, but when that becomes the dominant way people experience the parks, it absolutely changes what Disney...

Running from one flashy thing to the next because you can’t sit still and appreciate the beauty of the rivers is exactly why Disney’s magic is being wasted on this generation. Attention spans these days are pathetic. The riverboat and island aren’t filler. They’re the care, craft and...
