    News All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I feel like Disney runs a LOT more on nostalgia than Universal does. While a new night time parade won't necessarily get new guests to come to WDW, if it's well done and well received (and has a lot of nice throwbacks to prior night time parades), you'll play on the...

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

    As far as "modern" Disney animated movies go, I think the message of Strange World fits DAK almost perfectly... unfortunately, the movie completely bombed meaning it will never see the light of day inside any Disney park.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Most people who work in an office want (demand?) windows/natural light. It wouldn't be cheap/easy to add windows to a windowless building.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    A parking garage would be a one time cost that could yield new expansion land for 15-20 years (maybe more if you expand beyond the land the current parking lot to the south of the park occupies). I realize it's not a huge cost savings, but a parking garage would also result in the cost savings...

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    If the empty hall was considered a "blank canvas", I guess the "painting" we have here would be considered "minimalist"? One of those paintings where it's literally just painted red on the top half of the canvas and yellow on the bottom half and they try to sell it for 10 million dollars?

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    So glad so many of y'all convinced me to wait until a festival was occurring before I pass judgement on how bland this flex space looks when there's not a festival... such a change... so stunning!

    As a millennial, my frontier was pretty radically different than previous generations... we had the "final frontier"... (which had no deserts, cacti, or rattlesnakes to be seen)

    Do you think Disney will ever make a really impressive playground again?

    A few years ago, Dollywood built a large new kids/family area and, as part of it, they built a huge, indoor play area. Fully air conditioned, functions in all weather, gated exit (so it's not super easy for small kids to leave without their adult), adjacent bathrooms, and LOTS of seating for...

    Easily? I mean, it's for sure up there... but you need to at least have parks like Phantasialand and Efteling in the conversation... Busch Gardens Williamsburg as well if natural beauty is your thing...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Personally, I just dont see how it would/could be the same... the MV theater is so purpose built and has so many built in effects... I'd be shocked if Disney would modify that theater sufficiently to retain all of those effects... then there are all the visual gags in the queue... again, I just...

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

    I mean, I sorta tested it this summer with our Ohio trip... the carousel at Kings Island? Traditional horses... kids had no interest in riding... the carousel at the Cincinnati Zoo (which we went to the next day)? Every seat a unique zoo animal... kids insisted on riding twice...

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

    Would my kid get excited to ride a carousel at Disney if the seats were all just standard carousel horses? Meh... maybe? Would my kid get excited to ride a carousel at Disney if they had the chance to ride on some of their favorite Disney characters? Heck yeah! Probably to the point that they...

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

    Not only that, but it's a bit hidden away. The entrance sign is easy to miss when you are walking by, you really can't see the queue of people waiting for the attraction to indicate that there is something there worth seeing (not that there typically is a queue), and when you look at the tree...

    It's all about the merchandise. Assuming the data at the below link is true, the Cars franchise has sold $1.5 billion more in merchandise than the Toy Story Franchise in nine fewer years: https://ultimatepopculture.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises Personally, I think...

    To those who rode the original 20k under the sea at DW, can you share your experience?

    100% on that aspect! The boats were VERY well done and it was neat seeing them moving around. There was just something nice about that lagoon there too... all the water was peaceful in a way. I think that's why I'd be so in favor of a version of Aquatopia replacing Tomorrowland Speedway... the...
