    News Disney plans to reboot Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Sequels that weren’t direct to home video are mostly a recent phenomenon with Disney animation.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    IMO, they should've just committed to the entire west side of the hub being the "garden half" instead of creating CommuniCore once the Festival Center fell through. Like, just recycle the concept of dotting the area with domed and toroid-esque structures from the right side of the image here...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Not that any sort of balanced accounting is necessary, but I’m sure the few female characters out there voiced by men are more than offset by the number of adult women providing the voices for male children in many animated programs and games.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    There have been many mistakes of the sort past and present. Look what happened to Rocket Rods in DL or the original Tomorrowland waterfall towers. The problem here is the rapidity of the failure, the apparent slowness with which they're dealing with the problem, and the fact that it's especially...

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    None of the benches are COR-TEN. The grates, some decorative elements, and some planter curbs are, but the benches are not.

    Rumor Moana E-Ticket Ride to Adventureland

    They're still utilizing tracts of new land with Villains, and for something already realized, they just did it with TRON. That TSI is being replaced says nothing about their willingness or unwillingness to use new space; rather, it says something about how they want space utilized in general...

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

    Cake Bake is a third party and irrelevant to the discussion, as always. Anyway, I agree that the total time may end up being longer than their target, but it still makes sense to stagger the closure since the original Dinoland corridor will take a lot less time than the Dinorama plot, which is...

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    Ah yes, good ol' Voldenortt.

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

    A gut of the interior is different from a full rebuild. I assumed you meant you thought they were razing the original restaurant, which they are not. It is an unattractive land, straight up. Or, at the very least, it is visually associated with something most people are primed to have an...

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

    I'm confused as to what you mean about the restaurant needing to be rebuilt. Do you just mean that the interior needs to be gutted? The art and model still show the same general building, just with a few archways dressing the original patio area.

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

    It should either be staggered closing or staggered opening to reduce the total amount of downtime. Pick your poison. The IJ and village corridor is just a re-skinning of existing structures and shouldn't logically take as long to complete as Encanto, plus the Encanto site is isolated in a way...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    It's based on the version of Yellowstone from Planes, which is in the same universe as Cars. No Route 66 is involved.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    They did utilize former spine real estate to create Journey of Water, though the outcome is arguably somewhat lateral since it replaced Innoventions.

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

    That implies subtlety. When you just straight up say it, it’s more a klaxon. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    New Enhancements, Dining Options Coming to Disney’s BoardWalk

    IIRC, a big part of their business has always been that you can mail-order their cakes, so I doubt the experience is that different with an off-site bakery. I would imagine off-site preparation will revolve around the same things you can order for delivery from their website while the on-site...

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    Sort of agree, but I honestly think World Showcase could use a lighter attraction or two if it were built out more appropriately, and in that sense, this isn't the worst idea ever. It just feels slightly anemic when World Showcase has been so woefully underbuilt for decades. In terms of scope...

    News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

    It was an indoor spinner with wall projections and a semi-elaborate pre-show whereby guests would enter the Royal Doulton bowl on the mantle as in Mary Poppins Returns. Every vehicle was its own Royal Doulton bowl. Concept art in the post above. You can see the pre-show room on the right in the...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I don’t necessarily disagree, but it’s still so weird to me that he posted the original pre-COVID plans some time ago with more effusive praise of the “greening of EPCOT”, which is basically what we got minus the table. Like, agreed that the Festival Center was at least architecturally...
