    Well, since it seems like they're hesitant to announce where in Hollywood Studios that's actually going, I'm pretty sure they're trying to find the right way to upset a whole bunch of people about that park at the moment so again, I think we're safe for the time being when it comes to Main...

    I'm sure lots of people here would be perfectly happy with trading Main Street USA for a Mini Monsters land even if it was just to have a clone of the California Adventure ride and a table service Harry Hausen's. I don't think Disney's ready to give up their Walmart Sized gift shop now running...

    They could be. I don't think the Moana water walk-through will be, though. The frozen ride? Hard to say but the way Disney is handling things today, I suspect their fan base would be willing to "let it go" if they were getting a newer better Frozen ride on an expansion pad in the Magic...

    What I stated was "popular IP of the day" as in, what's hot now whenever "now" is while they're deciding. Disney's flying Elephant ride was operating decades before Kang and Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl and it'll be there decades after despite being essentially the same basic ride and having an IP...

    Yeah. "All about the rides" used to be the domain of Six Flags. Poor attention to detail and lack of consideration for theme, transitions and place-making used to be a point Disney fans looked down on Universal for. To me, all that good will, all that emotional attachment Disney fans had to...

    Don't you worry - they're working on it. It's already possible to get alcohol in MK. They just don't have it freely for sale in carts or walk-up counters. Give 'em time. That's what they want but there's that pesky opinion Walt had about it and family entertainment which traditionally kept it...

    You have to be joking... Or you've never done anything on property outside of the MK. They have fully "tapped into" this everywhere on property but the MK (which, for a while was a completely sacred cow) and they've even started finding ways to inch it into there. It's only a matter of time...

    Yeah, pretty sure it's meant to be the "weenie".

    I'm sure that could happen but the last 15-20 years of how they've chosen to manage builds suggests otherwise. From experience watching what they do, I just don't share your optimism they'll move at that pace but maybe this time will be different.

    I'm going by announcement dates since that's what we have to go by here which in your example was D23 August 15th, 2015 and I'm talking about Florida - the same place this is going. Construction hasn't started. Heck, they even said there would still be "plenty of time" to enjoy things as they...

    Normal pace? You mean like pre-shutdown? Do you not remember the timelines for NFL, Avatar, Galaxy's Edge?

    Pandora took 7 years from announcement to opening. Galaxy's Edge took about 4 to partially open and then another several months to get ROTR semi-regularly running. Tron Lightcycle Power Run (a clone) that didn't get an accompanying mini-land built with it, took six years. Unless Disney's...

    The original plan called for sponsors to make this happen. It seems like the current plan is to just keep selling alcohol. While I agree, I don't think we'll see this change to the degree we want unless Disney loses their liquor license. Having said that, we did by miracles of miracles get...

    They clearly said what of the next 5 years, exactly? Please, tell me what they actually said and not what you decided to infer from it. What can we expect five years from today? But to that, they clearly said we were getting an addition to Main Street that was going to include a live theater...

    Does that mean its not a completely done deal or... Are you saying there are still more shoes to drop? ... Because it sounds like you're telling us to take cover.

    I'd settle for them docking Liberty Belle, keeping the front of Tom Sawyer's island to preserve the feel of the surrounding areas that were designed to compliment it and calling it whatever they want while turning it into a peninsula with the back (actually most of the space) filled in, putting...

    Okay, so in a world where only one can exist in a Florida park and all the rest need to be completely scrapped to make that happen, what you're showing makes a lot of sense. By making this an either/or discussion, are you saying that is the world that we're in? (for the record, I'm mostly in...
