    News New Space Mountain Coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027

    Have you done the one in Disneyland? Because the Tokyo one was an almost carbon copy of that one.

    I might be hallucinating, but wasn't there a park that extended the top of Mainstreet to house the projectors? As in they built new floors on top.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    The mix of tourists have also changed, Chinese tourist still haven't recovered while the western ones have boomed. I can imagine that the grow of westerns in Disneyland is larger than that number makes it look like.

    Why would they hurry up now? Its slow season with lots of discounts. So it totally makes sense that Paris decides to give you a subpar experience. Its very on brand for them :D.

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    There is quite some evidence that they focus on a higher yield per capita. The more bigger vacation packages, Disney premier access, ticket price increases, only single day tickets and most importantly their sudden focus on overseas visitors. I really don't see them going back with AP's except...

    There is also Walt's on the second floor of one of the blocks. All the other second floors are occupied by offices if I am correct.

    Efteling's Danse Macabre - re-imagining done right

    This is german not dutch 😭 Danse Macabre is incredible and Disney level worth for the same budget that Imagineering builds a giftshop. Efteling is incredible with the budgets that they have and I feel very fortunate to be able to call it my home park. Both this and Villa Volta are the rides...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    I am curious why introducing a single rider is such a bigger hassle in the US versus France. Paris has three numbers on the floor at the gates to indicate the seating. Does the Epcot one not have these numbers?

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    Don't forget that when Fantasy Springs was designed the park attracted 14.6 million people annually, they most likely expected to break the 15 mil barrier after FS. However with the removal of AP and their new strategy that number has dropped to 12.4 in 2023.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    Of all the systems you can have, having a very expensive single skip the line option is actually the best for everybody.

    Lightning Lane Premier Pass

    I am wondering if this is the next step to slowly morph the system into Disney Premier Access. Get rid of of Lightning Lane and only sell the single or all attractions once option like Tokyo (only single)/Shanghai/Hong Kong and Paris has. Regarding VIP, it wouldn't surprise me if a price hike...

    News Big Thunder Mountain to receive full retrack

    I am hearing Vekoma is doing the retrack. They also did the renovation in Paris in 2015/2016 which lasted for 13 months. I expect a similar timeline here.

    News New Space Mountain Coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027

    No they already confirmed a 2027 date, OLC is Japanese. They open things at that date, not a second earlier or later :D

    News New Space Mountain Coming to Tokyo Disneyland in 2027

    I expect an early 2027 opening, usually they want to open things in the spring. So that is a bit more than 2 years, include extensive testing and a soft opening period and you really don't have that much time. The 2027 date includes the re-do of the area where the old showbuilding was + the area...

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Yes there will be both a pathway from adventure way to both areas, making the park an anchor shape (especially after the two lands on the side open). Concept art for the entrance from Toy Story land, we are gonna be re-using the Jessie model again (and again and again..). See red arrows for the...

    And its nothing new either. It happens at every Olympics, not just because of the worry of the crowds but also because hotels gets super expensive. Everybody is trying to capitalise on the olympics. I wouldn't be surprised if Disney foresaw this coming long ago, and therefore decided to put...

    MAGICal DLP News, Rumours & Thoughts

    You can really see the difference with what concrete/tiles if you compare the mainstreets of Magic Kingdom and Paris. Its not just the castle thats more beautiful ;). I've said it multiple times already, the lineup of attractions in Studios isn't that bad, its the parts inbetween that need...

    Tokyo Disneyland Resort Expansion

    The critique is interesting to read, because it was never the intention to have all four rides being an E-ticket. This is the closest we've ever got to a new generation Fantasyland, even more than Shanghai's I would say. TDS could've used the money to built two ROTR scope rides, but I argue that...

    Frozen is based on the Snow Queen, albeit in quite a modified way similar to Tangled on Rapunzel.

    Wreck-It Ralph Attraction Coming to TDL in 2026

    They will probably have to pay WDI for coming in to change it. But it seems they are replacing Tomorrowland in phases. Baymax was 1, Wreck it Ralph is 2 and Space Mountain is 3. Star Tours might be 4?
