Sewer system? It has had some problems in recent years, resulting in pumps in Frontierland. Depending on when end of life was anticipated and if they are over it, unanticipated failure… It wouldn’t be the first time a project was sold as necessary for X reason but later we learn it was for Y.

I think from reports, it’s pretty clear this is happening, and people getting worked up is the only possibility in which they go with the AC option.

It should absolutely be considered on the list, although I don’t think it’s next up, simply from the labor requirements alone. Guests can’t get themselves in and out of the boat to maintain capacity targets. As mentioned, they don’t sell a lot of merchandise, and the movie underperformed. While...

Is Pandora, the land even that successful? FoP of course is, as well as Satu’li Canteen. But I thought people didn’t think the whole nighttime elements worked. They note the lack of entertainment. I always am struck by how full and alive the planet feels in FOP and how empty and abandoned it...

Nope. Harryhausen restaurant needs a home.

Cinderella Castle probably pays for its continued existence via Dessert Parties and other upcharge opportunities during Fireworks. The stuff you have to watch out for, is even back in the 1990s WDI was debating retheming Main Street. Since if what is nostalgic for adults in 1955 was 1900, then...

Maybe if Josh Gad refuses to show up for Frozen sequel recordings? Disney would obviously just recast the voice, figuring it didn’t hurt Inside Out 2. But we’d see if it worked the same. Except as we’ve found out, actors are always desperate for enough work to keep their medical insurance. So...

While there are echos this is worse. A single dark ride can be replaced pretty straightforwardly, if later management thinks it was a mistake. There could be a possibility of a reimagined Toad. Like people continue to feel about Figment. The shock with Toad was that Disney would tear out a well...

Outside of those, I didn't know what would qualify as "beloved." The one I think has the strongest universal attachment is the WDW Railroad. If they have metrics that finally reopening didn't change any key metrics, so they can safely eliminate the operations without meaningful blowback, and...

I think everyone just assumes it is the Liberty Square references, which IMO, is so closely tied to Frontierland due to the River that it doesn't register as something unique to get worked up about. There is angst about LS, in every post about Frontierland, even if left unsaid.

Oddly enough, while I am predicting eventual problems for the MK as it becomes more difficult to get the headliners accomplished, while simultaneously losing decompression zones, Epcot is the one likely to be the beneficiary. The, "You don't need to buy Genie/whatever they are calling it now...

Are you suggesting 20 million people were spending upwards of $200 per person to take photos of the Castle? Or are you saying that 20 million people will continue to spend an ever increasing amount of money, and /or an ever increasing amount of time in standby lines because the Disney...

Really? What is happening now. People who don't want to play Hunger Games games go to Europe, or a cruise. They don't go to WDW at all. Not even the MK. Theme park itches by kids when visiting Grandma in FL, get itched by one of the other options that doesn't require Hunger Games games to...

Just flew right over your head there, didn't it? I'm not disagreeing with this statement, but there is another possible outcome. Especially, for the group that is already only buying a single 1-day MK ticket as their WDW experience.

The Disney fan crowd may visit 2 days, but the normies that are skipping the rest of WDW, are buying 1-day tickets, and only visiting one day. When we first started visiting WDW, Epcot was always stated to be a 2-day park. Hardly anyone ever says that anymore. It changed as prices went up...

I would argue they identified a reason they believed makes MK the most visited of the parks, but the failure of all the investment to lure people away means they didn’t correctly identify the real reason guests choose it over the others, despite some highly rated attraction additions based on...

The biggest deterrent we find is not a lack of interest, but a lack of time. It takes so much time and energy to do the top 5 things, something else doesn’t make the cut. A Cars attraction isn’t going to magically give people more time in their day to experience it. It’s going to present...

That and Galaxy’s Edge and the Epcot spine. I don’t where other people are getting all this trust out of current Disney. These are the projects when they really *try.* Some CA projects have turned out okay, and I’ll get to see Fantasy Springs in 2 months. So maybe it’s just operational...

Yep, why is why so many people are curious to see how it works out!

The word on the street is the sponsor (Chevrolet) expressly rejected this option. They are paying for their IP to be the focus, not Pixar.
