Crowds really seemed to have picked up in the last year.

I do not disagree that Disney can and should do science bigger and better. What I was saying is that the number of science and discovery museums nowadays gives them an excuse to be lazy when they should be inspired to do better. Because of the museums, they know that they cannot simply do what...

By that accounting, even a one-day Disney trip is unaffordable to the average family. Add the airfare or gas to Orlando, hotel, and park tickets, and a museum visit is very affordable. Most science and children's museums also offer family memberships that cut the cost even for a single trip or...

No, that was not what I said. In my original post, I said that the growth in science museums gives Disney an excuse to go the easy route rather than trying to be more creative. Instead of adding an attraction, they can say, "Well people can see that at a science museum and we are not a science...

But it is a lot easier for the average American family to hop in the car for a trip to the nearest city than to take a trip to Orlando. It is probably much cheaper too. I think that the family that would have loved to visit Epcot in 1987 would be the family visiting museums today.

Thanks for the insight. I was not sure how that would have worked next to Jungle Cruise. I guess it wouldn't. That's a shame.

I had thought about Indy at DL but was not certain about the layout and whether the land use at MK would allow something similar.

Does this theater realistically have a future? I know that something is better than nothing, but I am very concerned that the shorts will become a permanent "attraction."

I think that you have hit on one of the big problems with Epcot (and in particular Future World) today: every decent sized American city has at least a children's museum or science museum or both. Many of the types of activities and displays that once could have been used to fill pavilions and...

I really enjoy Jungle Cruise at night.

I have heard fans talk of using the space between Crystal Palace and Jungle Cruise as an entrance area to a new attraction, but what would that be and where would the actual attraction go? There does not seem to be all that much room without changes to Jungle Cruise.

They could add the original ride planned for Germany and that would at least be a non-IP boat ride to compensate for Frozenstrom.

My concern is that this "short film festival" becomes permanent and they just occassionally (as in every five to ten years) rotate the films.

The Muppets deserve a Swedish Chef buffet and Toy Story Land deserves an actual Pizza Planet from the movies.

Do we know which shorts exactly will be replacing EO?

Instead of buying a boat for retirement, he wants to buy part of a football team. I never knew Iger's role model was Jerry Jones. (And based on his Disney tenure, I predict he will do just as well.)

He must be a very experienced drunk not to have fallen off the pyramid. :joyfull:

Although we do not yet know the exact layout for SWL, based on what has been talked about, I am not sure how they would be able to keep Indy. I think that it is probably a goner.

Small gators are just part of the atmosphere in Florida. I have seen at least one on every trip.

Eventually, as (if?) they refurb they will probably integrate outlets into furniture and do away with the clocks and the power blocks.
