The Simpsons fits the seemingly important mandate of Disney+ popularity and merchandising opportunities. The IP has been around for 30+ years and it’s already been translated to a theme park setting before. That - along with the fact that Universal seems likely to close their land in the near...

I still think it will have the same effect as an expansion. The current space is not a draw to people. This re-themed area will draw guests from other areas of the park much more heavily than Dinoland did.

There is no doubt that there was widespread and rampant abuse of the many iterations of the GAC/DAS system over the years. Most would agree that a change was necessary to limit abuse. However, there were likely more narrowly tailored options to weed out "abusers" if that was the true intent...

With the “concept art” released by Disney yesterday — as vague and non committal as it is — I could possibly be getting my wish for an Avatar Shanghai Disney Pirates tech ride! (Just on the West Coast). If there is still a mystery additional attraction in the works for AK, aside from the...

If they are intending on an E-ticket elsewhere in addition to the Dinoland overhaul - my pipe dream would be an additional Avatar E-ticket utilizing the Shanghai Disney Pirates tech based on the water aspects/animals of the second Avatar movie. Alas, we shall see what actually comes! Hopefully...

This never ends. 1) Ending Magic Express Service; 2) Adding Resort/Parking Fees; 3) Ending complimentary magic bands; 4) Insane Star Wars star cruiser pricing; 5) Ending free fastpass. What a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of WDW. This type of short term thinking has hurt Disney in the...

This, unfortunately, should not shock anyone. An iconic attraction being re-themed to install a more modern IP. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. I understand that some will be very happy about this. I respect and understand their opinion, but respectfully disagree. Hey Disney, if you are...

The substantial ride-based announcements were always coming Sunday. Getting this preview of an overhauled Future World is extremely exciting. So much of the current iteration Future World has always been about getting the attractions done to get out and enjoy your time meandering through the...

Reminds me so much of the Disney Website portion of Ralph Breaks the Internet. At the least, looks like an improvement to the waste of space it currently is! Exciting developments!

If that's what it ends up being, then moving those types of experiences to the smart phone and expanding them makes a lot of sense. What gives me pause is the article mentions specific locations being spots where more content is unlocked and that "wait time becomes play time." I'm just...

Initial thought is I don't like this, but maybe it could work for some barren queues like Small World. Two main concerns: 1) Encouraging further phone use directly before people board a ride may encourage phone-use on the rides. 2) If this gets popular, Disney may cheap out on queues in the...

Green used to provide some sort of movement. I've rode both missions dozens of times. Nowhere near as thrilling as orange, but it at least moved. Green has now been reduced to Soarin' with less movement, farther away. Green was an option for those who couldn't handle orange. Now it's a childrens...

Just rode at rope drop. Green insanely weak, like wow that's not "kid friendly" it's for kids. Orange is better than ever.

If your content isn't based specifically off insider information, and is purely speculation based off previous rumors, that's exactly what you should be presenting it as. It's not a rumor or probability unless there's a source to confirm and even then it should be made clear that any rumor is...

Don't know if you can drop more information this close to D23, but is there any chance they just update the Speedway to electric cars and make it look generally futuristic @marni1971 ? Just a general "Tomorrowland" theme, no specific IP per se.

Yikes.

Marvel contract truthers. :) Just don't worry about it...it's coming (most likely)...

GotG in EPCOT is the clearest example that IP based rides are the standard (have been for some time now) and original story rides (e.g. Expedition Everest) are the rare exception. It's not about creating a ride that guides you through an exciting story. It's been about identifying which IP...

Disney would never create a major attraction without being 100% sure on the legal side. Their park investment model over the years has been "too little, too late." They wouldn't spend major coin on something they'd be at risk to lose because of a contract that was signed years ago (which has...

Please stop bringing up the "contract" dun dun dun... I'm in Law School, for whatever that's worth. I assure you Team Legal Disney would not try and dance around or find a loophole to get an IP in their park or be bound by the plans of Marvel Studios. Guardians has obviously been approved...
