I think this is likely going to be the best thing to come out of the 50th, TBH. Gonna hold a grudge against Enchantment, Harmonious actively destroys sight lines, and Rat seems like a worse version of M&MRR and Rise. I like kites, reminds me of some of the old EPCOT entertainment.

I think the idea is Jiminy Cricket as the conscience, and also... well. Pinocchio is made of wood. Kinda a dark way to skirt the idea of an actual child being used.

Oh, I don't think that's true. A Wendy-esqe voice does it for Peter Pan, the Dwarves do it on Mine Train, Aladdin does it on Magic Carpets, Timothy does it on Dumbo, I believe it's Mr. Ray in Nemo, Oaken on Frozen...?

Done. I'm taking a first-timer in September, and I really hope this is gone by then. I worry he won't want to come back if he sees this.

What time does this begin? Can I still see Happily Ever After and miss this guy? Even worse, does this play DURING the Kiss Goodnight? I'm taking a first-timer fairly soon, I REFUSE to let him see this.

Even this year’s Destination D ends with a D23 party rather than a birthday party. Big yikes. Also, I’m so incredibly shocked that they followed up what was obviously going to be a polarizing announcement for fans with mostly negative sentiment (Genie) with a polarizing announcement for fans...

The songs themselves from Onward, Zootopia, Raya, and Wreck-It-Ralph are contemporary, and imply a contemporary bent to the show should these songs be featured. If, as MisterPenguin points out, these IP are shown over more traditionally dramatic orchestrations, perhaps they’ll fit in better. But...

The real problem that I find with some of the selections (Raya, Luca, Onward, Wreck-It Ralph) is that none of these movies have major in-movie songs with lyrics… and Luca doesn’t even have a credits song! Soul seems fine to me, especially if the concept is going to be about finding your spark...

I think I’d definitely consider this point if there was something tangible to point to in basic attraction maintenance aside from the Small World facade (love that they’re going retro/colorful with it, I admit), the Partners Statue refurb (which feels redundant) and, presumably, some pavement? I...

I’m just wondering what you see as infrastructure upgrade - the awful World Showcase Lagoon barges, the Main Street Projectors that Disneyland got some time ago, or the… temporary statues? I don’t see any major infrastructure being included in this celebration. I also don’t understand how you...

I mean, I’ll bite. What’s being done is fantastic, and while I’m sure that this is a situation of having a nearby large patch of land to place the drones, I feel like there MUST be a location at Disney that can be cleared to do this, especially with the oft-quoted “blessing of size”. I’m not...

Re: Cedar Point, I think it might not be as good on the large floats, but I really think that, considering that there is no IP, the "drum" floats in Soundsational look pretty weak compared to the smaller floats in this parade. The variety of stunts in this parade and the degree of difficulty is...

This parade blows Soundsational out of the water and meets DEP in terms of awe in it's current state. And it's LONG! Incredible job by the Cedar Point team. This should really embarrass Disney.

I also think there will be major pressure on this anniversary and the guest experience of this year - Disney’s getting another chance to make a first impression, and if they make a bad one it will likely affect them for the next 25 years.

*to keep the illusion of exclusivity. I think that each time they “raise capacity”, it’s done so that websites like this one flood their front page with this “news”, brainwashing us all into thinking that the parks are more exclusive than ever. When I read any Disney news site, I often see 1/3...

This is absolutely right. During my year, they had a mix of smaller presentations (historians discussing the design of the Polynesian, as well as the infamous wave machine), larger presentations that were rather hollow (discussions on how Animal Kingdom was re-designed for the nighttime), and...

I personally think that the adjustment at hand is subtle, necessary, and can be integrated into the show easily "now, leemmmie get a REAL STRONG MAN from the audience" instead of getting a "racist stereotype".

Yes, it's done in jest, most Disney entertainment offerings are created in order to create a sense of fun. Minstrel shows of their time were also done in jest. The portion of the show with "indians" is essentially a minstrel-style portrayal of the race. I think the majority of people in America...

I believe there is a problematic segment in the "Davey Crockett" finale of the show in which an audience member is encourage to dress up like a stereotypical Native American sidekick. They are given a feather headband are encouraged to fold their hands and "whoop". Cast dressed as bandits shoot...

I'm not one to jump on the bash train, but wow, I really dislike the jewelry. It cheapens the rest of the additions on the castle and really emphasizes the plastic look, especially the bunting. I would have said go with a different design than do plastic bunting and jewels.
