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

    I realize that Chester and Hester was a cheap compromise and not meant to last and so I try and put aside my bias towards it and accept it leaving. Completely reskinning all of the land, though, I think is way overkill and a waste of effort and money, especially in a park with so little to do...

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

    Don't forget: that was a rollercoaster just a few years ago. And you're losing the Boneyard, plus the games, which weren't massive people eaters but they were SOMETHING. So you're not really adding any capacity at all. There's a tortoise and vulture on the other side of the crocodile. Not...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Setting aside all of reality, set aside the ruining things and terrible decisions for a moment: Completely removed from all context, the Muppets in a building clearly not made for the Muppets, trying to make a show around an existing show that keeps going off an inappropriate moments, actually...

    Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

    Would moving them to a new show actually quell the controversy that much? Isn't a large part of why Muppet fans consider Muppet Vision so special because it was Jim Henson's final work and one of the last times he voiced Kermit? There's no way to make up for that. Then again, "we know this...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    If Muppets goes, I lose all hope that Carousel of Progress is safe. Nothing is sacred and there is no respect for the dead. Jim Henson doesn't matter and Walt Disney only matters when they can try and use him for marketing or selling tacky tchotckhes.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Isn't Gonzo a monster? Based on their other decisions, that more than qualifies the Muppets for Monstropolis. Keep it right where it is, build around it, spray paint the outside, and add some line about Kermit visiting Monsters Inc as a tadpole into the preshow. Boom! Genius, modern...

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I really enjoyed Tom Sawyer Island. As a kid I loved the barrel bridge. As an adult, I got to feel like a kid again, exploring in a way you don't get to do anymore when you grow up. It had been like seventeen years since I last went, so I didn't remember what was on there (except for the...

    Live-Action ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’

    This is shaping up to be live action Pinocchio all over again, but with more CGI monstrosities.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Yeah, everyone's saying that makes no sense, but it's exactly what they're doing over in Animal Kingdom.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    It's fun to see creators talk about the effort put into small things when they also clearly put effort into the big picture and made something overall worthwhile. This ride only seems to have had effort put into small things, though, so hearing about them isn't fun, it just highlights terrible...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Because it's the ride equivalent of Wish; they figured they could just decide it would be the next big thing. So of course people will want to meet Big Game Hunter Tiana; Tiana's Bayou Adventure is the next big thing, after all. And 1900 Park Faire is where they've already decided to throw out...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    What happened to when they would try and get people who looked similar to try and keep consistency/character integrity? This lady looks nothing like Tiana nor any of the Tianas I've met.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    There are actual armadillos living on Disney property. I've seen them at three different resorts. They also move and so are better than Lari.

    Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2024

    Meh. I don't mind Minnie's, but Mickey's being mostly neon green is kind of ugly. It wouldn't happen, but I would be seriously tempted to actually go to the Halloween party if I could meet them in their Mysterious Masquerade outfits from Tokyo. Now THOSE are cool.

    News Complimentary Annual Passholder Magnet Arriving Soon

    I swear, no one looks better in the new art style. At absolute best you get a lateral move. Most look worse. No one is improved.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Oh, good, so THIS is what they got out of the research trips. They needed to actually take a picture of an armadillo in the bayou to confirm they lived in the bayou. Gotta be "authentic" and you know, maybe every online resource, books on New Orleans fauna, and whatever locals they managed to...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I'm very curious about how Disney's creative process works. I don't work in this industry and don't pretend to know how it works, but there are things in here that seem like such a blatantly bad idea I really don't understand how they got past multiple people who are supposed to know what...

    News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

    I wonder how long it's going to take for them to take down/modify the road signs for it.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    And even if they fix everything, we'll be at the point where a boring, downgrade of a ride is praised because at least it actually functions properly now.
