Saw that we might be getting better than expected on youtube and came on here to see what that might entail. Congratulations, I don't think I've ever seen so much negativity by so few on one thread!!! It's even rivalling the few years of being told how Pandora wouldn't work and how nobody really enjoyed the movie over on that thread. Heaven forbid anyone try to look forward to anything on here :D :D :D

If you actually analyze the past few pages, it’s almost exclusively driven by two or three people, so make of that what you will. 🤷🏻‍♂️

If everyone agreed around here, it would be quite boring. People are free to look forward to things, people are free to call out concerns with news, and people are free to remain hopeful.

That still doesn't explain how they're ceding the next development cycle to Universal, per your claim. That's maybe a land's worth of new things with a bunch of likely replacement, which is at best equal to what is known for WDW even minus Villains, plus the Universal slate is way more speculative at this point.

Are we conveniently forgetting the Universal just opened up a whole brand new theme park. Instead of Disney, Universal now is in the position of floating for awhile. It will take Disney a long time to catch up to that.

Of course and I never said they couldn't. They can say what they like, I'm just commenting on the views that keep coming and coming. It kind of reminds me of the lady next door who seems to enjoy being miserable, whenever I tell her anything positive like "I've just booked a trip to Florida" I just know her response will be along the lines of how expensive it will be, or how planes aren't safe or how people have guns in America and how dangerous it is. She seems to want to bring everybody down to a level of misery and low expectations :D

As you say it would be a boring world if everybody agreed on here, as it would if we didn't point out those who don't agree from time to time. We can all coexist I'm sure.

That's why Roy Disney had to do the"Save Disney" campaign?

Eisner was a disaster his last years.

If Roy was alive during any of the last 10 years, we would’ve seen something 10x the scale of “Save Disney”. Roy and Mr. Gold didn’t even want Iger in that seat. They just saw him as a momentary “solution” to their temporary “problem”. They thought he would comply.

As another poster said...it is more about being disappointed than anything else.

Everyone was so excited about this land with knowing very little about it. Then we hear that they are "scrapping" plans for something bigger and bolder. And people are excited about that. Others find it jarring due to Disney's track record over the last 15 years. IMO, WDW been able to meet expectations on just one "land" since 2012. And that is Pandora. NFL was underwhelming, TSL was underwhelming, and GE, which was supposed to be the most ambitious yet, did not deliver on what was promised at all. And that doesn't even cover the other things they messed up along the way. And now for their next ambitious project, we find that their plans just were not cutting it. Why? Why after what they have learned over the last 15 years did they not have to scrap these plans and go in a different direction. And what does all of this say about Piston Peak, the land that tore out RoA? I think that should make people nervous.

Has Eisner ever apologized or recognized the deficiencies with DCA 1.0? On The Imagineering Story he was talking about how limited budgets make creative people more creative, how he spent too much money on Euro Disneyland, and he seemingly had no regrets about DCA 1.0, Hong Kong, or WDSP because “nobody complained that he put the company in financial jeopardy.”

That line of thinking, decades later, is so bizarre to me. He still thinks he made the right decisions. WDW should consider themselves fortunate that they didn’t face the wrath of Eisner post—Wells like the other resorts did.

Would Eisner have destroyed Frontierland? Animal Kingdom? The Studios? Epcot Future World? Yeah I know he put a dent in the latter, but it was nothing compared to the scale of what his successor would oversee.

Yeah, WDW should thank its “lucky stars”.

People arguing about how this is going to suck/be good based on no info other than ~vibes~. People yelling Len is a mouthpiece. Also a few memes your uncle thinks are sweet that he posts unironically on Facebook. So, ya know, very normal stuff.

I don't know what to tell you except welcome to the forums. People have always discussed things based on little information.
