Criticism of Universal is certainly valid. Especially given their recent price hikes, food quality and the privacy policy on their facial rec system (but maybe that's the privacy attorney in me). I also think praise on this project also seems due. As always, we'll have to see the final...

That's so not true. They always slash the prices on Ronco products during the ad...

I'm sure it will feature IP, as it has to. But, hopefully they keep it subtle in the artwork. I think going a Steakhouse 71 approach and/or modern art with IP touches would work just fine.

I agree. I think the finale fireworks set could be just a few seconds long, and it needs the final crackles like so many other shows have. But, the finale itself is awesome. I agree the song also could have worked as the intro. But, the building part with the center sprays and then the...

The theme for the mental health/Inside Out/Cranium Command redo confirmed.

Agreed. It feels more like interior design than actual theme. It's like how you would go about designing a museum display, not thematic place setting. The pieces of place setting have a sense of logic and purpose. It's never been perfect by a long shot, but that seems to be eroding outside...

Yes. A lot of it feels forced. That's a big issue with a lot of WDI projects these days. An odd blend of over thought and overly simplistic.

Japan is my current favorite. I've watched it there, in UK, near the Refreshment Port, Norway and Mexico bridge.

I will say, it creates a nice dynamic nature. But, it does highlight the lights not working more than you would think. And, for most months out of the year, you get 1-2 - maybe 3 - hours of that at most. So, there is a glaring issue for the rest of the day where it feels a little plasticy...

Having seen it in person this week, I'm torn... PROS: -The environment is very nice at night. -The lighting package here looks cool. -The music and general vibe works well (though it can get repetitive), especially its tie in to Luminous. -The garden aspects add a sense of depth. The former...

I'm not sure a Taste of Mirabel in World Celebration (given it's central feature) would be "more family"....

Joanna x Tiana Target Home collab confirmed.

I'm sure they will go with more authenticity than that. It will clearly be "Hill du Up" and "Big L'Drop".

But what about things Abraham Lincoln created using ChatGPT? I hear he's contracting with WDI these days... Have you heard the same?

To be fair, that's actually a classic design in music and theater. I agree that destroying the energy isn't good, but peaks and valleys are. And, I would argue this isn't destroying energy - it's redirecting it inward. (Whether an individual person likes that really ties to their emotional...

Actually it can be. It's by far my favorite segment. And, I have talked to 3 different families who say the same because we had loss of family that tied to WDW in some way. It feels like a beautiful memorial to those who aren't with us any longer. I'm not saying you or the data is wrong...

Like a lot of original EPCOT Center, the main point was really to inspire vs. educate or entertain (though all 3 were pillars). It was forward looking, not to get the future right. But, to get people hopeful and excited. That runs into problems with tech-focused pavilions like most of FWE...

I totally agree. And I think he has broader appeal than they were thinking. I was at Epcot with my friend and her kids (5 and 8). The favorite was GOTG. Second... Figment. Not because of the ride, but just because of him. Bringing back something like you're describing - and being a true...

The great irony I see is, of many Disney attractions, the use of screens and projection mapping (along with physical sets) would actually lend itself well to the idea of the original attraction. For example, if you turn the Dream Mobile into a preshow, have people load in the Dream Port...

I would forgive a lot of Disney sins personally if that were to happen. Not putting a dime on it, but just saying.
