    What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    I think the eventual goal of Hollywood Studios should be to have a themed land for each of Disney's major film studios. We already have Lucasfilm & Pixar (& Muppets!). They need lands for Marvel, 20th Century and mainline Disney. Replace the Courtyard area with something from one of those &...

    Rumor D23 2024 WDW Rumors, Predictions & Discussion

    A lot of SDCC panels, Marvel Studios particularly, are done similarly. I'm not sure why companies still do this, it's very outdated & it would be such easy marketing to livestream for thousands to watch. I think the excuse I've seen is that companies claim it's to give the fans who show up a...

    Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

    I'd have to disagree. I was there on the first day of the Art Festival in 2023 & it was a see of purple. You'd almost think he was Disney's mascot if you were there that day & didn't know any better. If they build a banger E-ticket that gets hardcore park fans excited, they'll love it, hype it...

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

    Best way to make it fit is to have Indy going after an artifact based on an animal god. It'd be a way to show how animals have influenced human cultures to the point where we've deified them in our past. Kinda similar to how Everest shows how we've mystified animals and made-up animals as part...

    Future of the Hollywood Tower of Terror

    Man, that'd be a waste of that IP. Dr Strange should be more like Haunted Mansion or Mystic Manor. I think if Disney wanted to fully retheme ToT, they would've done it at the same time as DCA. If we get any changes, I think it'll just be to remove the TZ theming. Like others have said, they can...

    Tiana’s Bayou Adventure SPOILER Thread

    I'm trying to reserve judgment until I ride it. But it really sounds like their real reason for canning Splash was because of its abundant animatronics, not being socially aware as they claim. It feels like another version of The Great Move Ride to Mickey. They hid behind an excuse ("We want to...

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

    It's a great idea on paper but it doesn't really make for a compelling land in Disney World. It seems like they only went that route because of budget concerns, so they found a thematic way to work with those constraints. If they had more budget, I think it would've been cooler to showcase...

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

    Rafiki's is fine as it is. It's a lovely, quiet getaway from the rest of the park. I love going there to pet some animals, look at some creepy crawlies & draw a character. They even occasionally have small shows about some of the petting zoo animals presented by cast members. I was over there &...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Fantasy Springs should be what they're aiming for with this expansion. FS looks so good.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Honestly, I've started to see that one at fairly reasonable wait times outside of peak days.

    It still doesn't feel like enough. The wait times for Remy, Frozen & Test Track are rough.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    It's a fun C/D ticket but it's really hurt by the fact that it has to pull the weight of an E-ticket because EPCOT has so few rides.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    Yeah, they're not relevant. But if they're going to do more western stuff it makes sense to base it off of actual western characters instead of freakin' Woody. Ideally, it'd be something original. Get Imagineering's creative juices flowing & potentially give the movie studio a Western IP that...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    If we're getting a western attraction & it has to be IP, then it should be based on old characters that are basically American legends at this point. The Lone Ranger or Zorro could be awesome E-tickets. Yeah, they don't have active franchises, but the names are still super recognizable & I...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    There's pros & cons to having it in either park. A lot of people like the idea of the villains having their own land with MK as a contrast to Fantasyland. You can have a story about the villains being "banished" to the back of the park & them trying to escape into the rest of the park...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I agree with Radiator Springs itself coming to MK. The ride could work if it's a part of a more "realistic" Route 66 land, that would fit the Americana theme of MK well. But I think that would disappoint casual parkgoers who want to go to the town from the movie.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    If they do this, then it feels like there'll be more Toy Story attractions than there is attractions with Mickey & the gang in them. I wonder if they're thinking about making the TS cast a secondary set of mascots?

    Maybe we'll see the Dinosaurs return when Disney finally remembers that DAK has expansion pads in 15 years.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I don't think anyone who's been begging for the Villains idea thinks that will happen. Disney doesn't have any actual scary villains besides maybe Chernobog. People like the Disney Villains because they're evil but campy. The Villains people just want a fun, spooky land; the anti-Fantasyland...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    The construction on Tiana is encouraging, though that is just a retheme. Hopefully with this not being in guest areas, it can be faster than the EPCOT embarrassment.
