    News Hatbox Ghost coming to Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion

    but Imagineering has not had time to release a breathless description of the flooring materials they have used underneath the new AA yet.... Surely that has to come first.....

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I would have to disagree...Maelstrom was a nice attraction, but painfully short and very disjointed... I was totally against putting Frozen in World showcase, but I cannot say the ride is worse than Maelstrom. Lengthening the flume and adding an additional scene helped, thought Frozen still has...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Just a comparison...I feel like everyone is remembering this space WAY larger than it is in comparison to other open areas around the world... I never heard anyone compare the Vatican with a concrete jungle, or the Louvre courtyard, or Versailles, or Trafalger square... It was not that large a...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    It was a very large courtyard...I would hardly call it a cement wasteland... There are much larger plazas than the center core of EPCOT...Cement Wasteland doesn't really describe it... I wish they had kept it in it's original design, but they evidently needed more space for people... I wish this...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    or instead of a trellis, a giant shade structure following the curve of the path....which would also be very welcome for the very frequent rainstorms in Florida... and sure! fiber optic lighting in the pavement was always a bit magical.... The more that gets done the sadder it is to think the...

    RnRc Retheme?

    Actually the Superstar Limo 1939 edition could be an amazing thing... Pre-show would be preparing for the red carpet... The Citizens Of Hollywood could be involved as broadcasters etc... The Aerosmith pre-show could be replaced with a Radio Broadcast about the latest new stars getting ready for...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    and the chili and the chicken soup.... and some of the salads had meat in them..... but yes they also had salad.....

    Indiana Jones Land?

    Isn't BATB a little long in the tooth at this point? Isn't it time to retire this show and maybe do something else... Even importing the Disneyland Mickey and the Magical Map show...which could be lightly styled to match the feel of MMRR and the Mickey Mouse shorts... Or just left as is....But...

    News 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    The SWGE area is a retail site with two attractions attached...they don't actually need a gift shop at the exit... Toy Story Land just seems poorly planned from every angle...perhaps there were shops that were part of the first cluster of buildings that was cut from the plans...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    opposite of EPCOT now... I think most of us on here started out very excited and hopeful about a lot of Disney things... I know I was.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    "The arguments that the original EPCOT Center/World's Fair concept would be too difficult and too costly to maintain are valid." I don't know... Things like The Living Seas, The Land, Wonders Of Life, don't need to be fully updated, maintained properly, have small updates and additions, but...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    But they don't even try...They just abandoned the message and edutainment.. Let the park stagnate for a decade plus, then started shuttering rides and pavilions...The mess that this park has become is a direct result of kicking the can down the road and a lack of meaningful investment... and...

    News Walt Disney World Holiday Events 2023

    The original lobby design pulled the more vibrant colors out of the mural and used them to great effect in the concourse... The long gone Acrylic trees in bright orange green and gold...the banquettes upholstered in shocking pink and red... It was festive and modern and a reflection of it's...

    Polynesian Resort.....The final nail in the coffin ?

    Which they have been watering down over the past years sadly... Trader Sam's was a nice addition but far too humble a build... With the loss of the placemaking water gardens in the lobby and the beautiful elaborate landscaping that once stretched from the lobby building to the pool, they need to...

    Yeah but you have to eat it in your hotel room... I guess for DVC units it is fine....

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    It really is...lol Well...5 years of construction and little to show for it except we have gotten used to skipping EPCOT which used to be our favorite park. The parks are not fun to us the past few years...we just don't want to hassle with having to plan every second of our visit...Aside from...

    News Wakanda joins Coco, Zootopia, and Encanto on Disney Parks' future blue sky expansion list, reveals Josh D'Amaro

    Disney is not even finishing out the parks they have...the last thing they need is another new underbuilt park. I am just weary of the overuse of Superheroes...let that be Universal's thing....Disney has a gigantic library of classic IP to use... and at this moment they just need to finish up...

    Polynesian Resort.....The final nail in the coffin ?

    Sadly the boat has sailed... Now we can only hope that they are not using the Marriott Hospitality Corporate Design firm for all the finishes... but somehow I think that we are going to see standard modern motel with some light Polynesian/ tropical nods....
