We used to go every two years and were planning to go in 2021 after all of the park enhancements and attractions were complete. Our last trip was 2018 and the park experience was fine but the cost swelling was more apparent. Now that these attractions are being pushed and pricing will inflate...

Considering WDW’s operating track record with new big ticket attractions, I would open it while crowds are low to ensure the attraction is not breaking down multiple times per day when crowds return to normal. It’s not cheap to sit on a nearly completed project of this magnitude. It may...

The success of PATF is not really relevant here. Tiana belongs in the parks. And more than a float in a parade. I am not happy Splash is being replaced but I hope WDW does right by the retheme (doubtful). I am also not happy that WDW chose to base the ride off a film they knew had baggage...

PATF and Tiana are long over due for proper representation in the parks. It should have happened years ago. Unfortunately it did not. WDW really needs to dedicate a hefty budget to make sure they don’t half a$$ the retheme or both sides of the fence will be left feeling empty. I am not terribly...

Awareness is always a good thing. So is acknowledgment of past mistakes and having an open conversation with everyone to ensure the best approach is used going forward. The best answer to address inclusion and representation would be to modify the issues people have with Splash (general...

Lol now there you go placing your signature at risk.....I expect to receive a few emails today with breaking Ratatouille attraction news.

There is no doubt in my mind that modern America sees the world through a different lens. Americans are almost implicitly trained to look for negative connotations and ways in which we can whistle blow or sink the ship if it's not aligned with our personal points of view. We have proven this...

Thank you - I did recall late spring/summer prediction but was hoping an insider had a target date to share. Unfortunately the insiders don't share as much as they have in the past. And I don't blame them.

Any updates on opening date? I know IP integration is not popular but I am ok with it as long as it doesn't take away from the cultural experience, i.e. make it feel like Magic Kingdom light. Ratatouille is one of my daughter's favorite movies and we are trying to plan our 2021 visit around...

I am sure this obviously has been discussed but I am new(ish) around here. What are the tricks, tips and secrets to increase your odds of scoring a boarding group?

Sorry meant lack of action regarding Splash. The changes detailed above are similar to what I would prefer for Splash and the other moves are good for WDW and consistent with what most major corporations are doing in this country. I have no issues with those moves at all (I was on the fence...

The timing of the announcement certainly can be perceived as a reaction to current issues - it at least makes it appear as if they were responding to the petition. And the lack of action to date, which admittedly, was probably due to political and social climate not being as intense and...

That's not completely what I meant by future proofing. I think we generally agree on the subject bc I did say they should be aware of the subject matter. Attractions should be designed for all to enjoy and not be a band aid or a quick twitch reaction to the current PR situation. It may simply...

No I don’t think you can completely future proof an attraction. But WDW was aware of the source material when Splash was built and they should have been smarter and considered alternatives. Protests happened when the movie was released many years before SM was built. I was speaking more to...

This is not aimed at you just a response to the current discussion. The objective should not be to avoid offending anyone or winning people over. Create an attraction that all groups of people will enjoy and want to experience and introduce to future generations - future proofing to a degree...

Still surprised on-site guests are not given a (slight) advantage over off-site tickets either. Why not release a block of boarding groups exclusive to on site guests at 6:45 - would that work or just make issues more complicated? Unsuccessful efforts forfeit the opportunity to grab a group at...

Long time lurker, first time poster. Wanted to share my point of view on this as I consider myself to be a middle ground fan of WDW (meaning I am not a classic Disney Parks advocator or pixie duster for lack of better terms). Full disclosure – I love Splash Mountain. It is one of my favorite...
