^The pic I posted above shows the top front window disassembed and in multiple parts resting on scaffolding... so something beyond a paint job is going on...

^As do I. We both know it won't happen (Tokyo & MK will not change their icons that are beloved by generations for the sake of global uniqueness). BUT, we're closer than I'd ever thought we'd be thanks this thanks to the HKDL project.

^ Hah! Yeah, looking at a close-up of the castle, I see now where it goes. False alarm. Maybe it's the (Hong Kong-like) color or seeing it in isolation threw me for a loop.

I found this image very surprising: This is the Cindy Castle refurb, which would indicate a significantly different skin is going on it - at least the upper parts: 1. I couldn't see OLC doing this without a big announcement, artwork, etc.. 2. I assume the Japanese audience is even more...

^I'd welcome docs on those rides, as well. The Spin-offs I'm imagining would divorce themselves from the major stars of the films (Depp & Ford), with perhaps a cameo. PotC Filmic Universe, has an established feel, roster of characters and mythology, so it should be easy to take minor film...

With platinum brands Marvel and Star Wars getting multiple spin-offs per franchise, how about a little love for Disney's other elite-but-feeling-ignored adventure properties: Pirates & Indiana Jones, both well-suited for short & expensive serial-style shows, like The Mandalorian. I'm sure it's...

So much great original music was created for the classic EPCOT CENTER... It was a golden age for the discerning theme park fan that won't come again. Glad I got to experience it at just the right moment.

This is my fav pic to date of the castle - because it takes the original out of equation. source: https://twitter.com/hkdl_of_fantasy Supermodel proportions.

Lots of notable pics on the TDL expansion from Japanese twitter today: https://twitter.com/minnie_level_X Here are a few: Overall State: Knew this was going to be an issue from the Model release long ago: B&B showbuilding gets the "Go-Away-Green" Treatment in Toontown: Painted flat(ish)...

^ Agreed. I'm fine with the TDL Hotel, but it doesn't have the elegant proportions nor the restraint that the DLP hotel/Grand Floridian (original version) have and is somewhat clunky and overbearing in its (McMansionish) application of ornament. Disney's "Mictorian" Hotels are inspired by...

I used this pic from: https://twitter.com/hkdl_of_fantasy to show before and after:

The execution of the themed hotel will be critical to this land (as will blocking out the midrise unthemed hotels which loom nearby). I don't have a ton of confidence that Iger's Disney has the ability/will to design & build a themed resort hotel that is architecturally worthy of being onstage...

Pics of Fantasy Springs expansion model have hit Twitter: It's early, basic foam, so it doesn't overly-impress, but interesting to learn how it will be laid out.

While there seems to be a movement towards smaller scale, more intimate series, I'll vote the other way: for an epic, big-budget military/war series. I'd like to see acknowledgement of a much wider war than what we've seen the famous characters involved in on screen to date. Trafalgar in...

^I just finished watching Mandalorian, so I'm a bit excited... One of my quibbles with Solo and especially the cinema-style games Jedi: Fallen Order and Battlefront II, is when Aliens speak English, particularly with a Brooklyn accent. It makes it feel more like Star Trek or GotG. Star Wars'...

double post

There were nameless Extras in Rogue One, with only a few seconds of screentime (such as the Rebel who desperately tried to get the disk through the door as Vader pursued) that I found much more compelling than the combined casts of characters in the Prequel and Abrams Trilogies. A very high...

^ I'd like to hear your in-person thoughts on it and the change/effect it is having on the park feel and aesthetics? (Safe to assume you've been to HKDL when it had the old castle)

In certain light it looks like a richer purple. Race/competition is on between the two new disney castles in Asia: https://twitter.com/kyon2purudona

Not to dwell too deeply on it, but what makes up Canon SW is fluid (to Lucasfilm) and can be just as fluid and subjective to the audience. I adore Rogue One for many reasons. At the same time I've enjoyed listening to the brilliant Radio Dramatizations produced in association with Lucasfilm...
