You can never go wrong with more highly-themed environments <3

I'm so used to planning things out so heavily for Disney that I feel I need more info than what I've been able to find. Of course I'll want to check out all of the shows and exhibits, but I've noticed on Sea World's website that they have several add-ons like encounters. Are there any that you...

Designers' and producers' hubris. At least one Imagineer for JIYI had the decency to apologize to Tony Baxter for their involvement in their butchering of a classic attraction. Trying to embrace the EPCOT that currently exists when you know what it used to be gets more and more difficult for...

He's gone feral

Ah interesting. For us it was the only option (aside from some handicap elevators, which I didn't want to take up). I have avoided any information about the attraction so I haven't heard of them being a bypass for the gift shop, but due to demand there was a separate line outside of the gift...

Well that absolutely stinks for those performers and guests then :/ Folks, if you're disappointed about less performance availability, I would write to Disney to let them know.

Disney probably doesn't want to pay for additional performers for the days of the week that the cast needs off. If demand is high enough, maybe they'll change their minds?

I'm surprised to read this, too. My train's reaction was the complete opposite, with everyone applauding the ride.

The Mummy (UO) is significantly more intense and rough than GotG:CW. I agree with Disney calling Guardians a "family coaster" but it is more thrilling than I thought it would be. The ride itself is very smooth and a lot of fun! Honestly the only thing that I felt was a poor design choice...

I experienced the attraction using the Virtual Queue today! Here's a summary for anyone curious: I had an EPCOT reservation and I had the app ready to go 5 minutes before 7 am and kept reloading the page for the attraction's VQ page. At precisely 7 am I was able to select to join the VQ and was...

They're really playing with those quarterly numbers, aren't they? I saw a lot of families today in EPCOT that would have benefitted from PLAY! being open.

There will always be people that eat up Disney's paltry offerings, but from what I've been seeing, a large percentage of visitors haven't shied away from telling Disney how dissatisfied they are about the 50th. Twitter replies from a recent 50th ad were brutally honest. I got this survey...

The composition is spectacular. Eric Idle is smiling like he's being held hostage. Figment with his weird bug eyes and hand that makes it look like he has 3 arms. I can't stop looking at it :hilarious:

The former Imagineer that had listed a few storyboard images on eBay listed another one from Journey Into YOUR Imagination.

When Bob Chapek first announced the planned Spaceship Earth revamp to a large gathering of Disney Parks fans at D23, it was mostly met with silence. I was there, and the mood was for lack of any better term -tense.- The lack of enthusiasm for so much being proposed for the revamp of EPCOT was...

Do it big and do it right if there are to be any changes... Disney has had a bad habit of closing things and then just leaving them abandoned. I'll take this current version of JII over having no Figment in any attraction...until WDI can finally get a proper budget approved to re-do the...

Buzzword buzzword buzzword! It really is something to see how these people drafting Disney PR talk around things.

Fun fact - that Figment figure is reportedly from the original iteration of JII!

Turning Journey Into Imagination into Journey Into YOUR Imagination is not only the biggest EPCOT blunder, but one of the biggest theme park blunders to ever occur. They had a classic attraction with iconic characters, imagery and a memorable score. It honestly should have found its way into...

If an interested sponsor entered the picture, they would generally have some say over what ends up getting built. WDI would still make a pitch, and the sponsor might have some suggestions. If Siemens had come in to sponsor JII, I'd wager there would have been an implementation of more...
