Also, if WDW is handcuffing good people by forcing them to get by with less, while still expecting better margins it can make the job an unsatisfying grind. Universal may be able to not just offer “new”, but also “you will have the tools you need to be successful.” Cost cutting doesn’t just make...

I expect this won't be the last we see of these types of moves as we get closer to Epic's opening.

It's in the video Walt made announcing "The Florida Project." Timestamp: 1:35

I was trying to be nice! The fact that my DH, big Star Wars fan wants to spend little time in that area, and doesn't feel the need to even ride RoTR anymore (we rode a bunch on our DLR trip in 2021) tells me how I would describe it. At this point, it's also safe to declare any of the New...

And the fact that it happened in this way is telling. No time for any objections to be raised outside the confines of Burbank, Glendale and LBV. No expectation of a positive reception. Somewhere in the distance, you can hear Bob Iger saying, "This had better work." I think it will work as...

Unfortunately for those of us who believe this, Disney found the alternative option. Just keep the experience so painful that people will line up to throw money at it, to avoid the pain. As long as "being a good parent" relies on a family trip to WDW, they'll get away with it. And when they...

If they are able to ride. I find it interesting that all 3 of the other attractions rank at least 3/5. That’s what these smaller attractions are supposed to be. Satisfying filler material, that they likely experienced with minimal effort or wait. And this is at least an hour’s worth of...

Key point this brings up… the new MO isn’t “all the stories we can possibly imagine,” it’s now “all the stories we’ve *already* told, and have good merchandise sales.” My head is steaming from some of these posts. The parks were created to expand the medium in which stories could be told. Not...

And in a park that averages over 50k a day. So less than 30% of guests will be able to even experience it, if no one gets any re-rides at all. That’s potentially a lot of disappointed guests. Of course people will just scream, “people should just buy a LL.” As if there will be enough to go...

WDW wasn't, at one time one the biggest honeymoon destinations for people who weren't brand fanatics because people wanted to ride attractions all day. It was for service, experiences, placemaking and simply vibes. And while sure they still make a ton of money off people who *are* brand...

Exactly. I don't fault guests for not understanding the relationship between their enjoyment of a space, and intentional design of that space by professionals. Whether it be a shopping experience, a restaurant, a workspace, a community space, etc., a lot of work goes into choices like colors...

Haven't read the thread, only saw the concept art on the Disney Parks Blog. This is awful. Theme parks can be such overstimulating places, and I could always count on Frontierland / Liberty Square / ROA for things to slow down, sit for a spell without the senses being inundated every second...

Could they be thinking something like demolishing the Studio 1 store building to create the courtyard, and the restaurant is a Mama Melrose replacement. Somehow leaving Star Tours and Muppets alone? New building in parking lot, blocked by ROTR building from Galaxy’s Edge perspective?

Difference is there is tons of footage of the real Walt, and even though many of us weren’t alive when he was, for adults, our Gen X childhoods included watching all the reruns of the Disneyland tv shows on the Disney Channel. It’s hard to replicate humans and human movement, which is why...

I thought the Avengers expansion was taking over Hollywoodland with one ride going in the Monsters Inc space. The whole “Avengers Campus is doubling in size.”

We need to know which of these we need to visit while we can: Star Tours, Muppets, Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Belle before all of the molecules in our bodies, begin to separate. Bonus points for Coco attraction placement in DCA. Although that is simply curiosity and not intense fear.

When does @marni1971 wake up? We need help sorting through all of this.

The concern I have about the Cars project is... via a hobby, I have an online friend who does something engineering but not WDI for Disney in FL. Like worked on two projects that have come to fruition. I was talking in hobby chat about this thread and Cars for Frontierland and how awful...

Remember, all of these new projects should be expected to require a LL purchase to actually experience. Hope you guys are ready!

I need to go back to find rec.arts.disney.parks posts when we were talking about Villains land in the 90s.
