    DHS MuppetVision 3-D's Future: Potential Disney Park Venues and Vision Pro Immersive Experience

    Captain EO was gone forever until it wasn't. While this show has a little more going on with specific in-theater effects, I don't think there's a lot that would make it overly challenging to bring back for a retro "limited run" some years down the road where it ends up continuing for a decade...

    DHS MuppetVision 3-D's Future: Potential Disney Park Venues and Vision Pro Immersive Experience

    I'm just glad tens of people out there might be able to see it on their Apple Vision Pros! Seriously, when is this exclusivity with Apple going to be up? Them being locked in with Apple isn't really helping their (Disney+ VR/3D content) or VR in general's wider adoption. I wonder what kind of...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Makes sense I wouldn't have remembered that because I probably wouldn't have been aware of it. I mean, as a kid, Future World was my favorite part of either park. My family was definitely confused by it. I don't know at what point it became an all day park for us (maybe somewhere between...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Regarding experience in general though, I wonder if an effort was made to offer transfers from the existing two parks. Seems like this would have been a good opportunity to move some experienced TMs into roles in the new park to both counter some of the challenges with the newbies and to also...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I know where it is but have never stayed there or walked over there. Do you think there would be space/capacity to add a real bus transfer spot intended for this purpose for all resort guests that wouldn't detract from the HR guests in that area or are you thinking more as an individual hack...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    To be fair, you get a sense of the same when staying at any on-campus resort that doesn't have boat access as it comes to visiting those two parks. I don't like City Walk in the mornings on our way into the parks but I absolutely hate Citywalk with a burning passion at night walking back to my...

    Are you talking the restaurant/theater area or the resort area?

    It's a 14 minute bus ride. I think how smooth that ends up being comes down to how many buses they're willing to have going back-and-forth all day to reduce/eliminate the wait times. ... Although Citywalk being between the two parks and the busses at the main campus is another issue.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Epcot was included in the four seasons pass (I believe it was called) we had which is why my family went in the early years. Having extended family who both went and worked that included cast members, I can say first-hand I experienced adults around me making these claims and when we went, it...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Epcot being only Disney's third park and the first non-castle had a huge uphill battle on opening, too. The focus and intent was entirely different from MK and DL and there were a ton of people disappointed and flat out bored by it. It was a park built with big huge ideas and possibly even...

    It's definitely the former. If you watch the contained bat in the queue leading up to this area it laughs at one point and while she's talking, if you pay attention to the monitors that show Dracula, he's up to something.

    This park has way more table-$ervice dining options in-park than the other two and some really big merch opportunities, too. People were buying in Super Nintendo World like it was black Friday when I was there.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    To be fair to Disney face characters where the longer the interaction, the greater the chances of them saying/doing something that would contradict their established character, most of Universal's face walkarounds are not a-lister characters. That's why I liken them to Citizens of Hollywood...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    For the younger "Disney Adults" who never got to meet Jack Diamond or any of the other Citizens of Hollywood at HWS, this is going to be a difficult concept to grasp because they see a character interaction as that 30 second photo op you wait in line 45-60 minutes for. The idea of coming...

    I actually made a typo and started with Vin... that would have been the perfect accidental joke but yours is a way better intentional one.

    I have the same bias you do, here. I've accepted there's an audience for this and on a vinn diagram, my circle is on a different continent from those folks. 🤷‍♂️

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I think it actually makes more sense than those examples. Mario and Donkey Kong live in a shared universe. Obviously, Zelda isn't part of that. The only thing tying Zelda, Pokemon, Metroid, etc. is Nintendo. This would be a little like saying it only makes sense to put Secret Life of Pets in...

    For me, that is true but it's because I work from home and need to exercise more. 😔

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I hope whatever it is does the original movie justice. Not a fan of the ride overlay (even less so after riding it in person) but the movie was bittersweet in that I think it was quite possibly the most beautiful hand drawn feature Disney ever made and of course, as we all know, the last. :/
