Have the park Christmas Trees always just been giant… “cones”? (And Id really like to see the Mickey Wreath back on the Contemporary)

“Come see the excitement as the Frozen crew runs a video that pauses on the last frame and stays that way ALL NIGHT LONG” So magickal. I can see the bean counter in the boardroom “it’s just like the castle lighting without the lights! Guests will get the same experience and we save a couple...

WOW - any idea what the reason for the change was? (maybe re-engineering the head mechanics so they needed new faces?)

I've got 0 problem with "limited callbacks" to IP - singing "High Ho" for exit music or even a few quips to other IP in the shows (I vaguely recall MuppetVision having some to during the preshow but can't recall offhand). It's making the entire show about other Disney IP that's the issue.

Is it as great as its heyday? No. But there's still a baseball team in every state, still a league and still games. Just look at the NBA Experience at Disney Springs even with the NBA going strong they couldn't get that thing to fly. But the Country Bears... is art and still one of Walt's...

No kidding - I've got an album from the Firehouse Five Plus Two band that played at Disneyland (led by Ward Kimball and some of the other Disney Imagineers) that had several, great, inappropriate jokes. Even a mild curse... on a Disneyland record!!

And serve alcohol. That also seems to be top of the list with DisneyCorp these days. (and why they keep missing that with the tiki lounge escapes me...)

They didn't. Same with Splash Mountain until they got armstronged into it.

They could've cycled back in the holiday shows which would've brought in variety to the show and rekindled interest. Heck - they're getting rid of this and they STILL haven't done anything about the Stitch's Great Escape space to ADD ride/show capacity!

That's a no go - she's direct competition with the parks with Dollywood :D

Didn't seem to be a problem for the last 20 years and you'll find that the same can be said for Carousel of Progress. Guess they can just have father sing disney songs too.

And that's just a sad statement of DisneyCorp mentality.

I never knew they had changed them.

Because it shows a lack of creativity in the parks - which is all too prevalent these days. They're recycling product back into themselves. Why not modern country songs? Why not go back through the folklore of the era that the original songs came from and unearth some REAL CULTURAL HISTORY...

Right. But those stories didn't get that much airplay over the saturation messaging from DisneyCorp at the time about how this was a pro-environmental movie with strong female character lead against oppressive colonizers. It's so NOT an issue that they expanded "problematic" Pocahontas into...

Do they even still offer the "dining with an imagineer" event?

Well of course, when you FIRE all your beloved lead imagineers as COVID starts there's nowhere to go but up...

So he was in charge of everything Epcot? Including the disastrous Harmonious show complete with tacos?

Right - CONTENT-wise with just ESPN and the Disney/Pixar/Fox/Marvel library I don't think Apple has a monopoly issue. It's when you link in ABC broadcasting AND Hulu AND Disney+ AND the theme parks that you're reducing competition in the field overall. Although this already happened to a...

So Apple gives Disney a buncha cash. Iger uses that to payoff Universal and buyout Hulu. Iger then shutters Hulu and Disney+ and licenses the entire catalog to AppleTV (maybe not the entire catalog but a good chunk of it) for more cash infusion. That recenters Disney as a content creator along...
