    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    Almost all the early films were musicals, Bambi and 101 Dalmatians aren't although they do have songs in them, and Wreck it Ralph & Zootopia are really the only non musicals that were successful but they too have songs in them.

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    A Star Wars themed hotel is a great idea, but what they built was just too small and too expensive/exclusive... I always thought Universal dropped the ball with Harry Potter by making Hogwarts a little forced perspective building, really it should have been a hotel, and have the student dorms be...

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

    If they added him 5 years ago when they did it in Cali maybe people would know who he is and gone to see that movie... how about you give the Hat Box Ghost to Tokyo instead, no one except people on these kinds of message boards cares about him, and no one wants him where they plan to put him

    Disney (and others) at the Box Office - Current State of Affairs

    First off, the Disney "successes" you list here (No Way Home, Dr Strange and Avatar) aren't really "Disney's Success". No Way Home & Dr Strange are a products of the Kevin Feige/Marvel Studios creative team, and Avatar is all James Cameron... but there's no "creative center" for The Walt Disney...

    Is attendance really down at WDW this or…

    I was there the week of July 4th 2018, and it wasn't very crowded before the 4th, but got crowded quickly afterwards Coming out of the pandemic a lot of people headed to WDW for the 50th, my sister and her family were there twice in 10 months, and it was crowded and crazy, it's also really hot...

    If Walt Disney died in 1986 instead of 1966 how do things change?

    Magic Kingdom would be the only park, and even though it's a lot of swamp land, not really suitable for construction, Walt probably would have carried on with the Progress City version of EPCOT, not the EPCOT Center that was built in 1982, and Disney MGM Studios was a Michael Eisner idea that...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    The concept to turn Splash Mountain into a Tiana ride was clearly developed for Disneyland, and cramming into Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain is a huge missed opportunity What they really should be doing is building a New Orleans Square at Magic Kingdom, maybe north of The Haunted Mansion, on...

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    I totally agree with you, Tiana should get her own little land. The north side of The Rivers of America have plenty of space for New Orleans Square, that could be, and really "Should" be an equivalent space for her to the new Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train...

    Country Bears Vacation Hoedown

    I wish they would create a longer show that was a combination of the original Country Bear Jamboree and the Vacation Hoedown, because the vacation show had some great songs and effects, and all the bears had the painted backdrops behind them instead of just the black curtains of the original...

    HM unused elevators?

    The original 1968 design for the Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion probably would have used the elevators, it was a "full size" building like the version in Disneyland, and it also could have need the elevators to hide show-building like in DL, but it's position in Magic Kingdom park would have...

    Speedway has got to go

    Speedway doesn't need to go but it does need to move, I'd put it out where the Tomorrowland Theater used to be along with a lot of other changes... Basically this new Speedway track would be in "the foothills of Space Mountain" and you could recycle a lot of old designs for Space Mountain from...

    What should star tours become?

    Since no one can get on Rise of the Resistance, they should probably leave Star Tours alone, or start adding in things from the Disney+ series to it

    Why?

    They don't have any good plan for that at the moment. The "rationing" of park admissions began with the COVID protocol to limit capacity for social distancing, and for some reason they are still doing it. Allegedly it's because they are understaffed, apparently all the park employees they laid...

    Was Magic Kingdom considered superior to Disneyland in 1971?

    Well? "in 1971" when Magic Kingdom opened in there wasn't much there. Tomorrowland was just the race cars, Mission to Mars, and the Circle Vision movie, Frontierland was the Diamond Horseshoe, Country Bears and Shooting Arcade, and famously there was no Pirates which angered the guests... so I'm...

    Would WDW ever make the prices for kids lower?

    Currently under the age of 3 it's free, then there's an under 9 price, and then over 10 is the adult price There used to be another price range between 9 and adult but it got phased out. Most kids by age 10 are tall enough to ride all the rides, and most kids under 3 aren't tall enough to ride...

    Are Disney food prices really over the top?

    When we stayed at the Poly in 1979 it cost $30 a night and we got a free steak and eggs breakfast at the Tangaroa Terrace every morning... granted there was a lot less to do on property back then, but now it seems like they charge for everything they possible can. It's certainly a different...

    Why did Disney create the FastPass system?

    The Original Paper FastPass was basically just a way for people to "make a reservation" and guarantee the got to ride something without the huge wait, and it wasn't on everything just rides with long waits. So if you "really wanted to ride Space Mountain" but didn't want to stand in a huge line...
