    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    There are many reasons which apply more to some rides than others. Deffered maintenance is one but that is in a much better place for most attractions than it has ever been except for the coasters, the park also has more requirements to keep the rides up to modern health and safety standards...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Just keep in mind DLP has been under some level of significant construction for the past 10 years. If you are waiting for Frozen and Disney Adventure World then I get you, but for anything else expect at least an E and potentially a D with some minor attractions closed in the coming years.

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    There is something up... could be hotel bookings are down? I think attendance is softer than we think, yes there are occasional sold out days but I think the average day to day attendance is lower. Plus their cost base is much higher than 1-2 years ago. Also now Frozen is announced for 2026 I...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    Autopia and Snow White are surprising. Autopia already opens at half capacity and it immediately busy. Snow White opens with only 1 Cast member and whilst often marginally quieter than Pinocchio it will only pass the queue over to Pinnochio which will be even longer now. Storybook Land...

    Cruise Availability

    All the cruises for April 2026 are available. Cruises get released in roughly 3 months blocks. The only exception to this is when a new cruise ships comes online so these get released seperately. But the Destiny won't be available until the end of 2025. There are no cruises available for 2027.

    News Disney's Animal Kingdom Adds Breakfast to Satu'li Canteen Starting Nov 1 2024

    I really hope these remain available, I missed them the first time and don't want to miss them again.

    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    If they are replacing the track I wonder if the cleared area will be for a crane.

    Permits 2024

    I am sure this is a lot of work so thank you for doing this over the years but it feels sad as this thread is such a staple of the WDW Magic forum.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    Is this a like for like room category? Chances the cheapest room has sold out in the time between your checks.

    Universal UK?

    There are lots of parks in Europe with similiar climates to the UK which operate succesfully and offer a great guest experience in winter weather. Europa Park, Efteling, Phantasialand etc.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    If you have an asset sat there ready to go why have it closed and not generating money? Plus it helps with training and getting a new theme park area populated with guests to help work out teething problems. It wouldn't surprise me if Stella Nova was selling rooms cheaply on one of those...

    Disney Adventure - dining, entertainment, rides + more announced

    I hadn't picked up on this, Pixar Market is a buffet for breakfast and lunch? This seems like quite a downgrade versus Enchanted Summer for dinner.

    Disney Adventure - dining, entertainment, rides + more announced

    There are 6 MDR restaurants however they are paired up (Mickey and Friends - Hollywood/Navigators, Animators - Palate/Table, Enchanted Summer - Tangled/Frozen) so you will dine one or the other. Town Square acts as the atrium.

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    Possibly... but after COVID and the war in Ukraine a budget in 2016 won't get you the same as it would in 2026. . Do we know how much money is left in their budget? The internet tells me DHS TOT cost $140m and WDSP TOT cost €180million so I think with inflation both of those figures are likely...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Yes and no. As with most things "2026" seems to be forming as a completing date for many projects. I'd expect the 'retail' side of DV to be done by then and a lot of place making but whether or not the PH replacement or new McDonalds is open is debatable. If they are they may have started works...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    This strategy is... a choice. I don't think it's been announced but I'd expect around April. The Sports Bar (like most of DV) is dated and is in desperate need of a refresh. On paper I think it is more interesting they are replacing the 'quick service' with an expanded bar however as can be...

    HKDL gets new castle, frozen land and marvel land.

    Well it certainly hasn't been announced and maybe it is the translation but it reads like AI. I'm not connected to HKDL rumours bit it seems surprising if they announce something when they've announced the Marvel expansion and haven't even broke ground on that.
