I'm not sure if you're questioning my lifetime love of Disney or my statement that the down-aging is bad for the parks and the Disney company. But if you're unconvinced about the risk of down-aging, I'll elaborate: The existential crisis that the Disney company found itself in during the late...

In the video, they say the back bar is "the feature of the space." So that's what I'm looking at. It has a children's birthday party look to me. If you love it, great. I think it's unhelpful and unnecessary to skew the art direction that childish. I'm just responding to what they're showing.

Why would a hundred-billion-dollar media company put a video on the internet if they don't want it reacted to? I didn't sneak in there. If that content doesn't represent the project, that's on them. My feedback is a concern that they are making a strategic mistake in calibrating the art...

And I'm very sorry to have to do it, as a 50-year Disney Parks fan. But this cartoonizing and dumbing down of everything is bad for the long-term, broad-demographic appeal of the parks.

The art direction of this place is clearly not realistic, the way Pirates of the Caribbean is. Look at the back bar, for example the scrollwork at top, and it's done in a cartoonish, modern chunky app/video game style. Compare that to PotC, which, yes, has animated skeletons, but surrounds that...

If Magic Kingdom doesn't need this building any more from the Rivers of America, can we get it shipped out to Anaheim so we can use this real wood on the Madame Leota gift shop?

Admittedly I don't know about egress requirements from coasters, but unlike most coasters Matterhorn seems very flat inside, almost like a dark ride, so I thought it could have more potential to get stopped along the track versus a coaster with a lot of incline/decline and obvious places the...

True, I'm making some assumptions. I'm assuming that the current coaster within the mountain doesn't adhere to modern clearance and safety egress and fall protection standards. That's the sense I get from riding the coaster and looking at POVs. And I'm reacting to rumors that there are...

I think the most practical way to preserve the Matterhorn as a park landmark while updating the ride system and experience to be more comfortable, reliable, safe, etc., is to add a modern coaster show building "plinth" structure wrapping around the south-to-east sides. The original mountain...

Here is a proposed Imagineering project, which is a new 2-story dining-seating structure built where Disneyland's River Belle Terrace outdoor dining seating is. The project also includes widening the walkway between River Belle Terrace and Pirates of the Caribbean to relieve traffic congestion...

Those are not SCRIPT-STYLE letters. You're examples are good, they should mimic any of those. Every typeface has a history of what medium it is representing, what era it's from, what aesthetic ideas it represents. Some designers think because they have 500 fonts on their "design program" they...

Disney, I beg of you, please do not EVER stack script-style letters. It's just not to be done. Ever.

Knowing that coaster barn structure would be visible to guests from the railroad and Tiana's, I wish they used Corten (intentionally) rusted siding so it fits into the area theme.

Great point. The construction sequence is fascinating if you consider that they need to maintain pedestrian access from Harbor Blvd. to the esplanade throughout the process, and they need to maintain bus drop off (somewhere) and then post-bus pedestrian access. I think your hunch is a good one...

The Hall of Presidents at MK and The American Adventure show at Epcot have a lot of overlap, not just covering the same historical "story" but literally some of the same historical figures in animatronic form, and a similar style of presentation, with paintings and photos and narration. A few...

Wine Country Trattoria? Or with a whole Mexican village at Paradise Gardens, how about:

I totally agree that Paradise Gardens is an absolutely perfect opportunity to give thematic richness to this somewhat generic food-centric location and give DCA its own New Orleans Square, so to speak, in terms of a culturally rich thematic land with great vibes. I do think they need to think...

There's been a lot of questioning about how the location of the Coco ride entrance affects a possible bridge to the Simba lot. Also, a lot of fans not only want a Coco dark ride, but they want a full Mexican village -- Santa Cecilia, in the movie (food, retail, vibes!). The obvious place to...

If they do modify the monorail, I wouldn't be sad if they made the monorails electric vehicles with batteries (given recent technologies) and had re-charge at the stations...and got rid of the unattractive electrical on the tracks.

Bingo. A family-friendly, imaginative alien planet mini-land with a new planetary rover driving attraction, interweaving with a boat attraction (a bit similar to Storybook Land Canal Boats and Casey Jr. at Disneyland), maybe also a spinner, plus a walk-through interactive experience (Jungle...
