There’s no reason this should close the ride for very long at all. In fact, if they really wanted to, they could do this without closing the ride for a single day. It’s new signage, new video, new audio, new merchandise, and anything on top of that is arguably just change for the sake of change...

I think some people put too much stock in catering to a very small age group. Most kids reach 4 feet at like 6 to 8 years old. They so quickly go from toddlers who nap in a stroller and meet characters to kids who wish they were tall enough for the more thrilling rides. Disney is in almost zero...

It was 100% part of that, that became the plan once the dumb meet and greet chateau village thing got changed to seven dwarfs mine train.

I love California Adventure more than most, and this is all cool news. Between this, the Coco ride, and the two Avengers rides, I think DCA will be one of the greatest parks in the world. My biggest fear is losing Award Weiners. I’m going there next week and really craving an award weiner right...

A lot of people are saying it feels like an old Epcot sign, but it’s 40 years later and we have a large ship on a pedestal outside of Guardians, which actually makes this change feel a bit too subtle. Unless… Any chance those cars stay parked outside after the wall comes down? It looks ever...

It had the highest guest survey ratings of any ride at Walt Disney World from 2008 to 2017 and still remains high, so I’m inclined to think that most people would actually agree with me. It is an incredibly well-executed ride from start to end that nails its pacing and emotional beats in a way...

Well, I’m not the one arguing that there are much better ideas than Cars… which is a cute franchise that kids love, has proven successful in a park already, and involves exploration of the American west in the spirit of Frontierland. Maybe I’m not the best judge either, but I’m not doing such...

The negative comments toward this here are bizarre and disappointing. People will likely love this and it’ll fit in the back of Frontierland quite well. Then again I shouldn’t exactly expect an online forum in 2024 to reflect the average park visitor.

They absolutely nailed this presentation in a way they hadn’t even come remotely close to doing in decades. Did they put someone new in charge of it? Did they learn all of the right lessons from their 2022 disaster? Hard to believe this is even the same company.

I mean I think Pixar films should be counted just as equally, since there’s basically no difference to any kids out there, so the most recent before Frozen is Ratatouille (07), still a while ago.

Well to that point, it seems like Disney is aware that the last new animation franchise they have a ride for is Frozen from late 2013. 10+ years is probably the longest they’ve ever gone, despite having stopped building original rides and having a lot of strong animated hits since then. Moana is...

I’m going to need you to get all the way off my back about rerouting this road!

But the difference is all of the movies that weren’t profitable last year are just clear misses. Encanto, Tron, And PatF will all have rides for three different reasons… none of which will ever apply to the movies released in 2023.

But this picture screams 80s office park. It’s tough to make a place with palm trees look like the opposite of a vacation. I’m not sure if stale is the right word but it wasn’t great.

The biggest real difference to me is that there were design changes across the entire front of the park, whereas what they actually did hardly extends beyond the center. There are still a lot of awkward empty and dated areas of overly wide pathways, pebble-filled geometric curbs, and empty...

They released that art with the intention of getting people’s hopes up for something they never planned to do and then cut back on multiple times anyway. Even if the end result is good, their own antics are rightfully going to catch up to them.

Agree on it being great! While it’s not sitting on the same land as JoW, since the new center involved expanding shopping and dining to take over that whole building and moving entertainment elsewhere, I feel that it was essentially replaced. And a note to those saying it wasn’t really replaced...

Yeah you’re going to get flamed… what regional theme parks are you going to? This ride screams Disney in every way lol.

Frozen Ever After is a surprisingly good ride, and I think a lot of people would consider it the best non-thrill ride created in the US parks in the last 15 years. When imagineering’s batting average isn’t exactly perfect, I think it makes a ton of sense to build on something that already works.
