Kind of surprised that they just sort of paid scant attention to Space 220... maybe because it's essentially a "pay to experience" destination?

Probably more info than anybody wants, but: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/05/233405/where-does-aladdin-take-place-agrabah-real-location

Well, yeah... "classical Baghdad" is probably like 3,000 miles from Morocco. And the live action movie was shot in Jordan (and studios in London). I'm sure the location of the live-action film's setting was purposefully ambiguous to avoid the point I was trying to make.

I understand the challenges in making it happen, but World Showcase needs some sort of a middle eastern pavilion so the Aladdin M&G can be in a pavilion that makes more sense, not shoehorned in one that is approximately 2,500+ miles from the fictional setting of Agrabah.

I like that idea... re-theme the main restaurant to Rick's, add the speakeasy/lounge next to it, and then create a "smuggler's tunnel/passageway between Morocco and France... would fit well with the Casablanca theme.

If nostalgia is a big part of the new attraction, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a pre-show with a video presentation about the history of Chevrolet, packed with lots of vintage footage showing families hitting the road for vacation adventures in their Chevy.

Really don't like how — especially for first-time riders — they lose a big chunk of the story *and* miss the great reveal into the hangar upon departing the shuttle. Disappointing — not very good show.

You still have the hallway to the interrogation area to come...

President Bartlet addition to The Hall of Presidents confirmed!

Yep, IF (a pretty big IF, indeed) all of the show elements and timing/intervals are working as designed, I don't think there is a better complete attraction experience offered by Disney, at least domestically. And by "experience," I mean from the first room with Rey through to the end. Last time...

They should be VERY ashamed of Imagination in its current form. Is there a less-compelling attraction in Epcot right now?

Honestly, how expensive would it be to create five triple-sided kiosks with each one covering a decade of changes/additions at the park? Make it a mini-museum of all things Epcot... and sell some nostalgic merch; that seems to be a major revenue driver for the company these days. That along with...

I would imagine that if they were going to build a fifth park, there would be some substantial hiring at WDI right now, and *somebody* would have leaked that something "big" was under way. But we haven't had any of that substantiated chatter, have we? Therefore... unless it's for the 75th...

Yep... bring back ME (or some form of it), expand the existing parks (they are doing this, but not on the scale they need to—we'll see what the "Beyond Big Thunder actually pans out to be), and restore the park hours to the longer operating days that they used to have.

Thought the first of the two new episodes, "Space Babies," was just so-so at best, but "The Devil's Chord" was really good, with a fun villain and the early days of the Fab Four. Amazing that they were both written by Davies; perhaps he wrote the first one really stoned or something. Can't...

The "Station 77" on-ride audio with the fantastic Giacchino score is what nudges it over the top for me over Starport 75. But... with a lot of TLC, — some serious track work and improved trains with real on-ride audio — WDW's version could reclaim the advantage; it doesn't seem insurmountable.

1) Guardians 2) EE (a close #2; I was lucky to ride it back when it was new and the Yeti was functional) 3) Tron (yeah, it's short, but also the most intense of these) 4) BTMR 5) RRC 6) SDMT 7) Space 8) Slinky 9) Barnstormer

Love this little detail of SSE reflecting in the panels here:

I've been to four Expos and yes, the lines thing always seems to surprise them. It's like "oh, shoot, there's a LINE?" Part of the issue might be significant turnover from Expo to Expo, with few veteran employees passing down their experience. Given that D23 cut a sizable amount of staff in the...

Epcot managers: kindly consider a one-day a year change in soundtrack... you guys love retro, limited-edition merch and mashups; this seems like it might work well for that...
