It’s a pretty good projection effort with at least some effort in depth by projecting onto some 3-dimensional sets. And at least you can look around. The new Peter Pan ride in Tokyo is really dire. It’s moving from flat screen to flat screen and the ride vehicle forces you to only look...

Next year at the earliest. Likely to slip further.

Greetings from Disneyland Paris! On this third trip to Paris, I managed to sacrifice some time away from the other sights to hit Baxter’s baby. It is my first time here. I entered the park at 6pm (for an 11 closing). That’s right, I paid a full days price for only five hours in the park. It...

Skip Magic Kingdom, there's very little to recommend there. Unless a whole lot changes at Hollywood Studios, that's the next one you can cut, since most of it is available in California. Most of Universal Studios Florida can be missed as well, save for Diagon Alley, which can be bought with...

The model is very impressive and encouraging. The Dark Universe land looks to be one of the best designed themed areas I can remember in recent memory.

Gringotts is one of the worst e-ticket caliber attractions I've ever been on. A complete misfire on almost every level. I think the new Pan attraction at Fantasy Springs falls into the same category. The ride is literally nothing but onscreen characters coming to deliver university-style...

Actually, the problem is that the characters aren't actually doing anything, they are talking to us. As a number of other commenters have stated, the early Imagineers designed gags. The characters were going about their normal lives and happen to be caught up in a comical act or doing...

They are not having a dragon. This is confirmed by Disney.

I'm old enough to remember when the Flotsam and Jetsam eel figures were a part of the show. I found them terrific. No idea when they left, but if the Ursula figure is too tall these two certainly could have worked.

I would like to throw out my solution, which may seem obvious only to me: Bring back the dragon but don’t have it spew fire. This negates the combustion danger that caused this in the first place. Use either smoke effect+lights to get the explosion effect (Disney has done this on various...

I don't see a point to this ride. What was the animating idea behind the attraction? What does it do that the nearly 70 years old "Peter Pan's Flight" doesn't do better already? Most of the scenes seem to be the same except in the new one the screen-based characters talk and talk and talk and...

1 major change: Must make a reservation to bring your own stroller into the park. Stroller must follow current size requirements and there is a limited number of stroller reservations available each day. Once that limit is reached, guests still wanting to roll their kid around must rent the...

Tangled is such a great movie. The last great Disney animated film. Incredible art direction and character design. Non-ironic. Eye-wateringly romantic. Desire to impress and induce wonder. A wonderful achievement, and I'm so nostalgic for that period of animators and creators. By and...

Voice work is usually the first thing recorded. Animation doesn't really even start until the voice performance is finished, since they have to sync the animation to the vocal performance. Six months is not even remotely enough time to do animation. One year and six months isn't really...

There is no point to the project. There is no spark of inspiration from which the film naturally grows. It is blatantly obvious that everybody hired onto this movie is doing it for a paycheck. In fact, it is blatantly obvious that many people over the years were hired onto the project and...

I just finished Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. That movie is so bad Disney deserves to lose double the amount of money than they did on it. I almost want Disney to release it again just so they can lose another $200 million. Serves them right.

It doesn't take anything out of contention. The smallest height on that chart, the one closest to the street, is a building fifty feet high. That is the height of the Indiana Jones Adventure show building, a ride that is on two levels. Splash Mountain's show building, a ride also on two...

Not from the article I'm reading. This article quotes Bob Iger, saying [emphasis mine]: https://deadline.com/2024/04/bob-iger-avatar-disney-theme-parks-epic-universe-1235875125/ Seems like he's clearly pointing at Disneyland.

So they really are going to put this into Disneyland. 🤣 At this point, I don’t even know what to say that hasn’t been already said about their attraction menu planning. California Adventure couldn’t be thirstier, and yet they keep spoon-feeding the well-fatted calf. I hope they take out the...

Ok. Then there's no reason to talk about Disneyland expansion. If people aren't willing to give up the parking lot for more theme park space, then we're all good then.
