I actually think we agree that the capitalism of today is different and for the worse. I just think we disagree on the why.

Did somebody visit the new lounges on the Disney Treasure without sharing?

At the very least, since Statler and Waldorf will no longer be bolted to the seats, they can finally go to the bathroom.

Losing Gonzo’s Royal Flush is a tragedy but at least my go to restroom outside the exit of One Man’s Dream is going to be around for a while longer.

So what is replacing MV3D? Another Monsters Inc show?

Absolutely incredible! Very detailed

I saw someone mention “New Frontierland” a few posts above. Each attraction except for BTM will be worse off than it was 4 years ago. Splash Mountain? Inferior replacement. Country Bears? Inferior replacement. TSI? Destroyed. Shooting Arcade? Replaced by a DVC lounge. The only improvement has...

Another experience that used to be free and open to park guests put behind a paywall.

Drawing crowds is only half the battle. They need to provide a good experience once the crowds are in the park. That’s where attractions like MV3D come in. Removing it would be a mistake.

I think Disney knows she has gone too far. Rather than draw attention to the comments with a public repudiation, they will quietly blacklist her and that will be the end of things. It’s not like they can reshoot the whole movie without her.

It’s a fascinating and often forgotten part of WDW history. The reason the resort launch dock is shaped the way it is was to allow these steamers to dock. From Google

The Liberty Belle has too small of a capacity to function in that role. If they do save it for service on the SSL and BL, it would be for evening cruises or service to the resorts. It is unlikely because it would require extensive modifications, such as adding steering. Real steamships used to...

Curious that some here can’t see the cultural and historical significance of one of the last operating steam powered paddle wheelers in America.

Good to know that at least there was some pushback internally.

Replacing the muppets would be such a bad decision but I’m sure we will see the typical Disney defenders come out of the woodwork to explain why it makes perfect sense and how we need to get with the times.

That’s an option but there are costs to that too. For one, closing HoP right now would spark enormous blowback and further drag Disney’s already tarnished image through the mud. Secondly, attractions make money. That’s why they’re open. Losing another one, especially with a significant number of...

Why HoP likely won’t close anytime soon: if they replace it, they will have to spend massive $$$ bringing it up to the latest code bc the building is old and if they spend above a threshold amount, they have to update everything. Simply not worth it.

if they want another Walt Disney AA, they should put it on Main Street because of the clear connection to Walt’s childhood. Keep HoP as it is.

Perhaps Disney should keep the HoP open because it’s anachronistic. If it is about the office of the presidency in an age where we are divided, maybe it will actually heal division by growing respect for the office, despite the officeholder being of a different persuasion.

IIRC they only call him once.
