DLP shared a little preview of the Disney Main Street, U.S.A. projections for Disney Tales of Magic - the new nighttime show launching Jan 10.

Thank you for the info. That's a bit of a bummer. :( I will not get my hopes up then. I think the turning effect is still active in other parks like TDL. In that case I will not even dare to dream for the coyote to make a return.

DLP has shared a news article about the BTM refurbishment: Source: Renovation of Big Thunder Mountain from January until early summer 2025 "First and foremost, the challenge was to ensure the strong immersion in the Wild West atmosphere of Frontierland®. To do so, the Imagineers carried out an...

I have just listened to this week's interview with Hugh Johnston, the new Senior Executive Vice President & CFO of TWDC. He is also talking about the International Parks (9:20) including the impact of the Olympics on DLP (9:50): "As we mentioned on the most recent call, China was a little bit...

Very good question. This is the way that I would see it - and I am happy to get convinced otherwise ;). Disney’s $60 billion investment announcement is a strategic vision for the next decade, indicating their plan to double investment in parks and cruise lines. This isn’t money they already...

Wasn't DLP supposed to get a significant part of Disney’s $60 billion supercharge investment? Some insiders were even claiming that it would be in the double-digit billion range and outpace the investment for the DLR. Maybe a more substantial expansion phase - this time also including the first...

I really appreciate that DLP has finally addressed the renovation of Storybook Land in Disneyland Paris. Let's hope they will not let it decay that much again next time. The new attraction poster is a beautiful addition, and I generally welcome new film scenes being introduced, bringing some...

New interview with Natacha Rafalski: blooloop: "Natacha Rafalski: Disneyland Paris’ immersive €2bn transformation"

I keep on forgetting about the Woody & Jessie integration at the Cheyenne. Though with Toy Story Hotel I had the full-IP version at Shanghai or the one in Tokyo in mind. To be fair, those ones seem to get good reviews and are quite popular. I just don't want to have one like this in such a...

Let's then hope Tiana went into the hotel business after the success of her restaurant and the food company. I would be more than just fine with a New Orleans hotel with some Tiana elements. Not quite sure how popular P&TF is in Europe compared to more recent movies like Moana or Frozen.

Do you think they would add another US region as a theme or go full-IP for this potential new hotel? Personally I would not mind having it Boardwalk-themed - which could be a great transition between NPBC and Disney Village. Another option could be New Orleans with a Tiana tie-in. A Polynesian...

After reflecting on the D23 announcements and various reactions over the last two weeks, I feel a bit disenchanted. I have been hoping for a Splash Mountain type ride to come to DLP since the 90s and am a fan of the Lion King movie & musical as well. So in theory I should be over the moon...

The show building looks absolutely massive. Though wouldn't larger boats as indicated in one of the models also require more space for a wider canal and a larger radius for turns resulting in a larger show building - like for Pirates? Just wondering as I have read some direct comparisons between...

I am not seeing a large outdoor section of the ride in the model compared to Splash Mountain. The exposure to the cold might be just limited to the top of the drop itself and a small section re-entering the show building. As far as I understood, Splash Mountain in Tokyo sometimes has to close...

Me also just fully realising that in the meantime DCA will get a completely new Avatar land and double the size of their Avengers Campus each with all-new unique e-ticket rides plus a Coco attraction. I think WDS/DAW will not be able to catch up with DCA any time soon. At least we have the space...

Fully agreed. In terms of scope nothing additional has been shown since the WDS 2.0 announcement in Feb 2018. Now we just know confirmed that Star Wars has been replaced by the Lion King. The US parks already have major announcements from the Turbocharged plans while DLP is waiting for those...

There are many inconsistencies/differences between the artwork and the model. For example, the model shows larger boats rather than the one-person per row flumes. It's a bit like with the initial artwork Disney used for the Splash Mt. makeover that had the boat on top of the tree. It is probably...

If you look at the background you can see that they are using images from the LK CGI remake in the background as a reference. Seems like at least the outdoor setting will be based on that movie. Hopefully the ride itself will be based on the animated original instead. Otherwise it could look...
