    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    It’s hard to tell what’s going on with the new central planter of World Celebration. It almost looks like the outermost “band” could be a subtle water feature. You can see what appears to be water reflection in the area I’ve circled. Full concept art...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    There was that Moana tiki room rumor floating around a few years ago. With them touching CBJ and canceling Moana at AK, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s back in play (though I’d rather it not be)

    News Soarin' Over California returning to EPCOT for a limited time

    They announced this as a feature of the 100 celebration. Seeing as that celebration goes through the end of the year, I would think you should be able to see it.

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    I hope they aren't planning to keep the entire area screened off for some grand reveal. If that's the intent, I think they severely miscalculate guest excitement for the finished product vs. guest annoyance at its current state. Those walls need to keep slowly receding until December...like...

    MK Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    I don't love having another animated song medley. However, I'm curious if they'll keep/re-record the Bear Band Serenade as the one remaining song. That'd be a nice touch for the nerds like us.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Re-read the post. I said I don't expect any at all, if they're not modifying the ride path. It wouldn't work or be worth the headache with the current layout/speeds.

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Re-reading the tweet(x?) they sent out for this, my expectation isn't wholesale re-interpretation of WOM scenes. "Imagineers along with teams from @Chevrolet are looking back to the original World of Motion for inspiration and bringing that spirit of optimism to the next iteration of the...

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    To be fair, the original WOM had a solid number of projections. The first half of TT 3.0 could be an abridged version of the original WOM. Then in lieu of WOM's speed tunnels, you'd have TT's actual thrills of hairpin turns and outdoor run. That's the best of both IMO

    EPCOT Test Track to be reimagined

    Honestly, having John Michael Higgins (Bill McKim) serve as a narrator during slower sections, a la Gary Owens, would be pretty great. The big question in my mind is if Chevy/Disney is willing to modify the track to have a WOM-style buildup for the first half of the attraction. If they...

    TBH I like these AK changes much better than last year's proposal. Still not 100% right for the park, but a lot better.

    Oh wow, World of motion fusion with Test Track? You have my interest.

    News Destination D23 2023

    If they give the bears, Max, Melvin, and Buff a tech upgrade, I'll stomach the Disney songs. Those poor animatronics are loud anymore.

    News Destination D23 2023

    DAK at full build-out would be a pretty large park. For comparison, DAK's entry to the Conservation Station Train Depot is slightly shorter than the distance from Epcot's entry to The American Adventure. That's a long (but manageable) walk. In that scenario DAK would benefit from some...

    EPCOT Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    It’s interesting that DVC members will have until 5pm to enter, but APs can visit JoW park open to park close. That seems like a recipe for needless CM headaches. Seems like it’d be easier to assign one group a 9am-4pm time and the other a 4-9pm time.

    News Destination D23 2023

    If you’re going to be pedantic, the actual attraction & half of the pre shows takes place in a Nova ship and space. Only the queue “exists” in future world world discovery. Yeah, no s*** it’s not happening. It was just an idea I had if they’re determined to shove modern IP everywhere. Last...

    News Destination D23 2023

    You wouldn’t have to change the whole land to NYC. No different than they didn’t change all of Future World East to Knowhere for Guardians. Transitions can happen within the building to get you where you need to be. If it’s keep Dinosaurs a part of AK, but overlay an IP vs no dinosaurs at all...

    News Destination D23 2023

    IMO, you could somewhat overlay Doctor Strange* to Dinosaur if they’re hell bent on IP. Switch the Dino Institute to the Sanctum Santorum, and convert the start and ending time portals into Inter-dimensional portals, leading us to a universe where dinosaurs still exist. Cue Dino mayhem. * - one...

    News Zootopia and Moana Blue Sky concepts for Disney's Animal Kingdom

    Shanghai's upcoming Zootopia land is slightly smaller than the area of DHS's Launch Bay, the Animation office building, and the adjacent operations building. IMO that seems like a slam dunk vs DAK. DHS is a park that already celebrates animation and urban locales. Plus, like DAK, the park still...
