Impressions is an absolute classic but it's also absolutely dated. I can't imagine it's that hard or expensive to put together some digital footage shot in the 21st century and set it to the current soundtrack. I can understand wanting to rotate attractions in that space but the sing-along ain't...

Ah yes, I recall both areas. Thanks for reminding me!

Interesting. We did this at Dollywood last year.I thought it would be too loud but I guess when they're tired, they're tired.

I know there is a WDW with Kids board but it seems relatively inactive so I am asking here instead. I am an experienced WDW visitor but will be taking a kid (4 yo daughter) for the first time right after Thanksgiving this year. She is in the nap transition period. I don't love the idea of...

Spin.

My tinfoil hat, probably not the case at all conspiracy is they are land banking Animation Courtyard and the associated back stage areas in the off chance Avengers Campus or something similar ever becomes possible.

Goes well with the, "you're fired....but firing you puts us in a lurch and we hear your suddenly need cash flow so stay on until summer to train your replacement", mentality.

I know so little about big (big) business. President of DLR and head of international content don't exactly seem to be similar. Its like putting the head of selling t-shirts and toys in charge of resort ops and creative.

Yes....my attempt at sarcasm may have been too effective (although I stand by my underlying sentiment). Obviously Walt's way and worldview doesn't always translate well into the 21st Century so do what Walt would've wanted isn't always the answer. I mean, the man had to be convinced that a...

Charming. I'm sure the company namesake, who supposedly told the Imagineers to not make the exterior of Haunted Mansion run down, would've loved it.

I question the investment long term. They lack flexibility to adapt when the IP grows stale and dated. It will also promote studios beating franchises beyond death and creating unnecessary sequels to single films. So its not that I am anti IP, I'm anti short term decision making that leads to...

Ah thanks for clarifying. I clearly have never done it before. I must've misunderstood what I read about it.

Wish they could figure out a way that makes it not necessary to have the kid have to wait all that time in a line for something they can't enjoy.

I hate the idea of lands based on IPs let a lone a single film but thematically speaking, correct, although I'm not sure it would connect back up with Fantasyland. Probably re-connects at Haunted Mansion along a modified river bank.

I wouldn't say it is strong either but Railway is a relatively new ride featuring the company's flagship character. Star Wars is Star Wars. Toy Story is the marquee Pixar franchise. I agree that execution has been lackluster in areas but the brands alone are probably a big draw to the casual...

In terms of number of attractions, yes, but I think some of that is counterbalanced by the fact that the attractions it does have feature some of the company's biggest IP franchises and thus can draw in good sized crowds, especially when you factor in Fantasmic! World Showcase has always struck...

Coco also makes sense in Mexico because the land of the dead aesthetic lends itself to a dark ride. Wouldn't look right outside in the Florida sun. In the alternative, it could be an indoor ride in some sort of miniland north of Big Thunder.

Or reformed/saved at the end or manifestation of mankind's failings.

I have to imagine any expansion beyond current development would be into the vacant space east of Africa and north of Asia. While not geographically accurate, I have always wanted to see that become South America. The Three Caballeros could move in and make room for Coco in Mexico. Up and...

Put it right next to mansion to help with the thematic transition (not that modern imagineering cares one iota about that these days).
