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

    The “no pants” rule has nothing to do with Encanto or IJ. You’re just saying random things. If you don’t want to look at the Dinosaur example, fine. But with Pandora, they picked two scenarios out of the source film (exploring the Pandoran wilderness and flying on an ikran) and fleshed out...

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

    What is a stretch if the attraction centers on animals? The plot of the source films does not necessarily determine the plot of the attractions. The Pandora attractions also do not center on the plot of the movies, nor does Dinosaur revolve around the plot of Dinosaur.

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

    Ignoring all details we’ve been given about both attractions thus far sure is convenient. The Encanto attraction takes place on the day a boy gains the ability to commune with animals and opens the door to a room filled with a rainforest. The IJ attraction involves a mythical pre-Colombian...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    They are already telling workers to vacate the Animation offices whether or not Monsters is going there. They absolutely don't have to build other offices elsewhere before they start anything in the area. Not sure where you got that idea.

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    Pretty sure they've not done topiaries at F&W for at least several years, and even when they existed, I only recall a few, all of which more or less have replacement displays.

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    It's so deeply puzzling that it makes me wonder if they realize the couple of obviously budget / nonfunctional / placeholder elements of the gardens (central planter, ground lighting, fountain corridor planter) just aren't cutting it and need fixes that will necessitate them rethinking the decor...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I can’t remember the last time it didn’t, and it could really use it to try to work out whatever kinks are preventing it from working reliably. I’d also be surprised if BTMRR goes down before January, but eh.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    Encanto and IJ look to be having the most effort put into them to make them fit out of literally all the things announced for WDW, so continuing to whine about them endlessly in every topic (related or not) is not especially productive. People would generally complain far less if other...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It shows a wider courtyard than the existing building would allow, but it’s not at all unworkable in terms of fitting everything in.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    There was no point to any of the options for that space ever other than upsells and private events. The table would’ve looked better but been even worse. No air conditioning for the plebs and no attached M&G.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Why is Mermaid even a problem? The facade on the right side isn’t especially inconsistent with the Monsters theme, and they could just add some additional plantings, kiosks, or themed barriers on that side of the courtyard. If they’re feeling more ambitious, shift the marquee a bit so that it...

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    Their inability to deliver on any of the promised festival decor both inside and outside has been weird. Even what was there for Flower & Garden clearly wasn’t designed for the space. The proportions were all wrong on that Birth of Figment planter flanked by oversized ugly artificial daisies.

    News 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

    The stage shows sometimes move inside for weather, so perhaps they use them then. But it’s supposed to be flex space for exhibits and whatnot as well. Whether or not they’re actually using it for that now, I imagine that’s why they’re there.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Pretty sure the windows were just covered. IIRC, they were open during the initial preview and then closed until now.

    More, though that doesn’t necessarily mean animatronics.

    News New 'Forces of Nature' acrobatic show debuts at EPCOT

    The costuming and foundational movement are no different from rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympics or something acrobatic like Cirque du Soleil. Like it or hate it, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it on the appropriateness front.

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    It is vastly more trouble than it’s worth to connect to Fantasyland when you can just loop between Liberty Square and western Frontierland. Again, I could see them doing something down the road if Haunted Mansion or Small World ever get the axe, but that’s pretty unlikely in the near term.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    … Why wouldn’t they? Safety is one of ops’ chief concerns whether or not something is popular.
