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

    There's a lot of places that an answer to this question could go, but simply put I believe that Marvel, Fox, and Lucasfilm were all unnecessary acquisitions that have diluted the Disney brand. Fox was the biggest mistake, though severe mismanagement/office politics at Lucasfilm is slowly killing...

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

    Iger blew money he shouldn't have on acquisitions Disney didn't need and now the company has to "get their money's worth" by shoehorning properties and franchises into the parks.

    DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

    In an ideal world, Animation Courtyard is home to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad while The Great Movie Ride (sponsored by TCM) received a massive upgrade with a new ride system and special effects.

    Rumor New Orleans Mini-Land and "Reimagined" Country Bear Jamboree

    I’m sure there are some within Disney who have convinced themselves that large numbers of Latino Americans are deeply offended by Frontierland, you’re probably right. For the financial health of the company, I desperately hope decision makers aren’t listening to those folks, bc this would be a...

    Rumor New Orleans Mini-Land and "Reimagined" Country Bear Jamboree

    There’s also the fact—which nobody seems to be bringing up—that MK has plenty of room for *actual* expansion. There is absolutely no reason to give Frontierland the axe when there is plenty of room between Caribbean Plaza and Splash to build an entirely new New Orleans mini-land. It’d take a...

    Rumor New Orleans Mini-Land and "Reimagined" Country Bear Jamboree

    The old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” comes to mind. There a plenty of other areas both within MK and throughout WDW that need the investment more than Frontierland 🤷‍♂️

    Rumor New Orleans Mini-Land and "Reimagined" Country Bear Jamboree

    Well, things like that aren’t really supposed to be noticed by guests. The park’s architecture is just subtle enough to seem “real,” if that makes sense. But the original Imagineers definitely built it that way on purpose. From the hub, guests enter Liberty Square, Disney’s version of...

    Rumor New Orleans Mini-Land and "Reimagined" Country Bear Jamboree

    Alright, I'll be the Debby downer...I absolutely hate this idea. It completely ruins the beauty of that area of the park. The progression from Colonial America to 1800's Wild West is so obviously intentional—there was so much thought and care put into the design there. But hey, who cares about...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I legitimately think Frozen Ever After is one of the worst rides on property. A solid 1/3 of that attraction are empty, dark walls with nothing to look it.

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    ^^So we're in complete agreement on the piece that was released with the retheme's announcement. This is precisely the sort of artwork I'd like to see more of. Unfortunately, the other images you shared do not even come close to replicating the quality and aesthetic seen here. It may very well...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    You know, this is actually a really fair and really good point that's getting me to reconsider some of my earlier statements. Having grown up in the early 2000's, opportunities to discover the latest and greatest that Disney was planning was readily available on the internet. I almost certainly...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I think releasing some actual, quality artwork the way the company used to do would have been a very good start. I'm not suggesting the release of scene-by-scene renderings or anything that extensive, but as @EPCOT-O.G. mentioned, everything about this project seems incredibly reactive. It'd be...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    This is all very fair and makes a lot of sense. Part of me wonders if the ride is being reworked (again) in an attempt to deemphasize the co-op Salt Mine stuff and turn it into more of a "book report" ride that's only a quasi-sequel to the original movie.

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I mean, maybe we have different expectations. It seems to me every time Disney releases "concept art" of this attraction, it's little more than PatF clip art pasted onto a bland, cartoon swamp with poorly photoshopped guests pointing at characters. When an attraction as classic as Splash...

    MK Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Maybe it's just me, but I find it amazing that concept art which supposedly depicts a specific scene in the attraction is as vague and unimagined as this piece is. They’re replacing SPLASH MOUNTAIN. This ride needs to be a massive home run, yet there’s been literally nothing to suggest it will...

    EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Idk man, they have the rights in CA and they literally built a warehouse district with a couple of photo op backgrounds at DCA 😂 Why invest in a Stark Expo when you can slap a giant letter "A" on the ground, build a couple of red and blue boxes and call it a day?
