    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    He's claiming he works at a "Disney warehouse" and his fiance is a "manager" at WDW. Even if that's actually true, those aren't the sorts of positions that would grant you knowledge of what the upper echelons of Burbank's corporate leadership are discussing. It's just a slightly altered variant...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    That actually just made it look even more like a transparent troll attempt to me...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I didn't say being an adult who visits Disney (in this context without children) is a bad thing or warranting an insult. It isn't, i'm one myself and there are tons of others here who are. Adults are the people who make and spend the money on Disney products, whether they have children or not...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The image that was posted with the "Disney Adults" stuff was definitely a troll making fun of people. I don't know of anyone who unironically refers to themselves as a Disney Adult in a positive way, and I can smell the sarcasm dripping off of it. I would be over the moon if they actually do...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I don't know if this is sarcasm or not. But in case it's serious, "Disney Adult" is NOT a positive thing to call someone. It's an insult. This person is making fun of the people who are upset about the removal of the RoA/TSI/Riverboat, along with the idea that they believe they could convince...

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    That's very obviously a troll post.

    MK Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    Is the joke here that you don't actually have an HD version of it, but you're so certain it will be bulldozed that you're betting something you don't have?

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    No, it was always plain concrete since opening day. It should be noted that Disneyland's Main Street also opened with plain pavement in 1955. In 2018, the pavement of the trolley track and a couple feet on either side (so about a third of the road) was ripped up and replaced with a brick...

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    Somewhat related, I wish they would give the Main Street road a brick and cobblestone overhaul ala Paris and Hong Kong.

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    The pavement used in a lot of Tokyo's original opening day areas demonstrates two fascinatingly different things to me- 1- The original pavements used in many of the opening day lands are indeed quite bland and even outright ugly in contrast with the surroundings. Especially the places in...

    New themed pavement in Adventureland?

    It was described as hard sandpaper, so it probably isn't prone to being slippery. That said, by that description it doesn't sound like it would be pleasant to skid on if one DID trip.

    EPCOT Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    Unironically, I wonder if that relates to any of the frequently software malfunctions in the equipment in recent years. They were likely running XP (or maybe even 2000) when the current version of the ride first opened. Vista was brand new when the ride was being developed, but it was...

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

    I'll repost something that a mechanical engineer and experienced AA repairman (who has done substantial maintenance work at both Disney and Universal) said on the matter. He singles out all-electric figures in this case as opposed to traditional hydraulic and pneumatic designs because the...

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

    Ah yes, the classic "I gambled on a fart and lost" face.

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

    Is that ad art actually real and not edited? That expression is a hell of a choice if it's legit. I'd like to know the story behind whoever drew it and also what sort of approval process it went through (assuming there was any). Because it's hard for me to imagine whoever was responsible isn't...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Unless they didn't actually know where they were going to put this when it was announced, I have a bad feeling it's going to replace something that will cause a bad reaction. Otherwise if it was just going in the AC, they probably would have announced it already. They avoided saying where Cars...

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    Beats me. I wasn't told. I would assume so.

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    In the original novel and author's intent, the pirates at least were apparently not originally from Neverland. Hook was apparently once a part of Blackbeard's crew (the crappy 2015 prequel film Pan even sort of tried to incorporate him into the story). Barrie apparently implied that Hook was...

    Changes to Peter Pan's Flight at Magic Kingdom

    Looks like the "keep the natives but change their designs" suggestion made by some of the tribal leaders that Disney consulted won out over the "get rid of them entirely" and "don't change anything" suggestions from the other tribes.
