So, Jim Hill has just told us that two refurbs that have long been speculated (one already on the refurb calendar) are still going to happen, and everything else is still up in there air. This way, when TLM DOES go under construction in the MK... "Disney World managers have pushed TLM into a...

I live in Virginia Beach and am a regular to the Busch Gardens here, and this honestly does not make any sense. It's possible that Disney may purchase the Busch parks (though I doubt it, in tough economic times), but a makeover to Disney's America seems preposterous. The park is based on old...

But, to be fair, MK has quite a short list of rides compared to Disneyland's roster. Let's take a look at E-tickets alone. With Space down, the only major, line-drawing E-tickets left in the Magic Kingdom will be BTMR and Splash. That will be a heck of a lot of congestion in one very small...

I think MK, with so much more space, is sorely missing a few more dark rides. There are literally dozens of films for WDI to choose from, but I think Ariel's Grotto and the 20K plot both need to be removed, for possibly 1 or 2 dark rides, along with another E-ticket to replace 20k. I don't...

Great eye! I, too, am certain this is no accident. The immense amount of detail that went into the rest of Pixar place (Imagineers have spoken about finding the right color bricks to replicate the Pixar architecture) just ensures that this is not a coincidence.

Many people have been discussing how Fantasmic's absence 5 nights a week won't have a huge impact on the AVERAGE WDW guest. I find this to be an exaggeration. While Fantasmic certainly doesn't leave NOTHING to do in the studios, it also doesn't leave a whole lot. Playhouse Disney, Little...

I think it's important to look at this from the perspective of the AVERAGE vacationer, not those who post about Disney on this site. Personally, I think that the average vacationer will ultimately end up going back to his/her hotel on nights that Fantasmic isn't showing. First, I'm not even...

Pixar Place remains open with just one attraction (Toy Story Mania) another studio to expand into, and the possibility of seemingly endless space in the backlot tour area for expansion (should this dated attraction be removed) Yet, it seems that the same rumors we keep hearing are both boring...

:brick: That's true... Universal shouldn't get credit for doing a prewritten story justice in an attraction. Neither should Disney for Splash Mountain, any Fantasyland attraction, Seas with Nemo, or any of the many, many shows that retell a story. also... In any attraction in Disney's...

Well, I think that's exactly the problem. Whether or not Tim Burton pushed new ground and did great things with animation, the fact is, people either love it or they hate it. I can't see this being overly popular at DHS, at least not something that will make people want to return again and...

I have to say, the monkeys look pretty tacky. Oh, just checked under my bed; turns out that barrel of monkeys actually are pretty tacky looking. Pixar Place needed a bit of life, and I love that the toys seem to be taking over the area. Since Andy's out, they're having their own free reign...

This is ABSOLUTELY something new. This is 3D immersive video game experience mixing Animatronics (hopefully more than the potato), screens, and actual sets with an element of interactivity. From what I've read, the 3D technology in setting up these games is a first for any theme park, much...

No, the new show is almost completely puppets once again. One live actor ties the show together, but all the characters are puppets. Those videos are from soemthing else....

The only issue I see with this rumor is a new electrical parade at WDW soon. Rivers of Light is in development for AK right now, so I doubt another electrical parade would premier at the resort within a year or two. Certainly not an original one. the Tokyo parade seems a possibility...

A couple of thoughts. It is very likely that the ending could be changed/improved by the time the ride officially reopens. Epcot receives a huge influx of people for the holidays, and is sorely lacking on actual rides for the holiday season. Without WOL this year especially. The touch...

This is all from wikipedia, but toy story 3 was originally planned by Disney pictures, but Pixar wouldn't sign on for the sequel. Despite an unwritten agreement that Disney would avoid Pixar sequels without Pixar involvement, Toy Story 3 got the go-ahead int he Disney-based CGI department...

In response to the OP, I don't think DAK needs any more than perhaps one more E-ticket. The park is lacking now in quality lower-level attractions. Kilimanjaro, Dinosaur, E:E, and arguably Kali are all quality E-ticket attractions. What else does the park have to offer? Some shows, Dinorama...

I think what could set Disney above and beyond would be that they wouldn't fear taking risks with an event like this. I believe they would totally go all-out in the theming/execution aspect and, if they decide to do it, would blow everyone away.

I've heard quite a bit of talk about a NBC themed DHS Halloween party to rival Universal's HHN. I thought it might b enice to get some ideas for how, realistically, the party would work in the park. I would like to see all of Sunset Boulevard remain largely the same at night. I think that the...

I agree that it SHOULD contain all the continents, but to me, Dinoland throws a wrench in that plan. I'd like to see where Dinoland is converted to Australia. The only major loss would be Dinosaur itself. I'd want the ride moved over to DHS for the East-coast Indy. It is the same layout...
