I know you’re just stirring the pot, but I’ll jump in... How much of the original entrance loop was from industry music library albums? I’m not going to knock this playlist specifically, I’ve been listening to half these composers for years and it’s good stuff... Some I would have picked...

To me, an October 1st date falls right in with the strategy of shelving Tron's construction schedule, slow walking GotG, being non-committal about Harmonious, and completely silent on a schedule for the PatF redo of Splash. I think this is less about current Covid mitigations, or recovery, or...

I don’t have a problem with moving the whole crew over from Norway. It would be no more odd to have the princesses in Morocco then they are in Norway, plus then you could add in Anna / Elsa safely removed in time and space from their meet and greet. Morocco is the larger and potentially more...

The closest historical analog is California Adventures “Blue Sky Cellar”... which, years later (Covid closure aside) is still operating, albeit with updated content for the Pixar Pier project.

The funny thing is, WDI seemingly was originally thinking exactly along those lines... A showpiece fountain was important, but the Lagoon is the wrong place for it - rather, as this early art showed, the right place would have been a massively re-worked area between Future World and WS. This...

Not only is the tweet in question deleted, so is much of that accounts recent activity. Yesterday his bio referenced his position at imagineering and his role as producer on Epcot & SSE. Recent tweets were not only regarding Epcot and elements of the redesign, but also veered into political...

Well, that would certainly be a Surprise... in the Skies.

The theater tech geek side of me keeps looking for something to be impressed over, and isn’t finding it. There’s nothing truly cutting edge going on here, so far as we’ve seen, and not a lot of reason to believe they are holding back many surprises on the tech side. I am hoping to be wrong and...

I doubt it. There were plenty of RoE shows where individual elements were dark either due to failures or manual overrides. As I understood it, individual barges could be E-stopped during the show without causing a full show stop, and this was a regular enough occurrence. Both the inferno barge...

Its not just WDW - every national and multinational company is going to continue to explicitly follow CDC or WHO guidelines. The large company I work for has said work from home / masks and distancing at offices / essential travel only will continue until the CDC says otherwise. Huge liability...

Well, if “Fresh paint on the entrance arches” is a reason to visit this year, then SSE unleashing her repressed personality has got to be an E-Ticket.

Knowing how absolutely particular Disney is with operating scissor lifts and booms on property, I’m actually quite surprised this passed safety review. Wonder if you have to wear a life vest along with the fall safety harness.

“Her classic look... intensity in programmed expressions...” so.. errr.. that’s going to be a very interesting ‘goodnight kiss’. The castle is going to be jealous.

ToT is a singular attraction and Sunset Blvd. is a singular themed land. By definition, a "park icon" should encompass the spirit of all of the offerings within a given park. For the other 3 parks, their respective icons do very well. HS has always had icon dysfunction.

...and the identity crisis of the Studios continues. I thought getting rid of the BAH was supposed to refocus the iconography on the Chinese Theater..? Maybe they should just put up a new water tower and call it a day.

A 'Celebration' teaser video without a single shot of fireworks. That's got to be a Disney first.

To my knowledge, this is the first show that breaks a long-standing entertainment department tradition of overnight and out of sight rehearsals, which is something that isn't even limited to nighttime spectaculars... With very rare exception, Disney simply doesn't rehearse or test anything...

It’s hard to imagine they would ever shut down such a valuable source of forecasting data now that they have it and have trained their guests to provide it. I have my doubts Genie will ever deliver the experience advertised, much like the historical flaws with MyMagic / FP+... at least on the...

I don’t understand why we can’t move this discussion past masks. There has literally been no new ground to cover related to masks in months. You know the thing I was hoping would take hold and have some societal pressure behind it? Hand washing. I know surface transmission isn't the focus, but...

The ‘Great Moments’ show outside effectively was already a pre-show. It was scheduled to end immediately before a HoP start, and the script ended with an invite to step inside. I can remember that a large part of the attraction of the HoP back in the early days was the impressive...
