    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    Sometimes I feel like the only person who has this view. I was extremely excited to finally ride it with all the hype but it felt like a major letdown. Especially with such a cool innovative ride system. Fingers crossed for the new Monsters ride using the same tech in EU.

    News Disney plans to accelerate Parks investment to $60 billion over 10 years

    I think Iger misspoke. Back in September he stated they had over a thousand acres of land to expand across all their resorts, enough to build seven new Disneylands.

    Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith vs The Incredible Hulk Coaster

    Both coasters are fairly mediocre after the initial launch. But RnRC feels better in its down 2nd half in the dark than Hulk does trudging along its boring 2nd half. If both were outside I might lean Hulk, but it's one of only a small handful of steel coasters that give me an awful headache. So...

    What's next for Epcot 2024 and Beyond

    The Test Track redo is such a pleasant surprise that I'd imagine nobody saw coming, yet the majority of people are pleased with its announcement. Not that it's a priority at all, but little projects like that should be way more commonplace to keep the parks fresh. That being said, over the next...

    News Destination D23 2023

    Everything they've shown us is that they don't feel it's a threat. They don't care about losing market share as long as the whole pie keeps getting larger. And if EU brings XX million more people to Orlando in 2025/2026, Disney will see a bump from that too without spending their own dime to...

    News Destination D23 2023

    As someone who really enjoys Mission: Space, I wouldn't mind a video upgrade. Feels like I'm watching something on Windows 2000 / XP. (Given when it opened it might still be running on that operating system).

    News Destination D23 2023

    I'm not betting on anything. Just pointing out if they REALLY WANTED TO, all it costs is some extra $$$ to speed some of those projects up. Money that will be free of Shanghai and Hong Kong projects. Again, not expecting it, but I'm not gonna completely rule it out just yet. We'll see how badly...

    News Destination D23 2023

    I don't disagree at all. Just pointing out that it's odd they've put themselves in a position to have that be the ONE YEAR that breaks the streak. With all the overseas projects coming to an end, curious if they could supercharge development of ONE THING just so they can keep it rolling.

    News Destination D23 2023

    I like all of this. New characters at DHS Galaxy's Edge feels like something forgotten that would be an exciting surprise. The only reason they stayed locked into the "Between 8 and 9" Timeline was the starcruiser, which is dead by 10/1. Would love to hear details of a DAK expansion, which...

    2022 TEA/AECOM Theme Index

    A huge dropoff for DAK from 2019 to 2022. Was the 2nd most visited park in FL in 2019, dropped all the way to last among the big six last year. Has the Pandora effect worn off? Personally it's my favorite park in Florida, but objectively, there's just not enough to do to warrant a full day. I...

    What will Disney announce for Disney World at the 2022 D23 expo?

    Not saying I want ToT to be re-themed, but if it ever was (and with GotG already in EPCOT), I'd sign up for a Dr. Strange version of the ride. Feels inevitable that at SOME POINT, they'll find a way to turn Sunset Boulevard into a Marvel Area with what properties they could use, and with both of...

    WDW Answer to Hagrid's/VelociCoaster

    I go back and forth on whether or not I want Disney to try to compete with Universal and Sea World for the thrill coaster market share in Orlando. On one hand, I don't go to WDW for the coasters/thrills. I live close to Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ and take trips to Cedar Point to fill...

    What will Disney announce for Disney World at the 2022 D23 expo?

    I'm going to choose to be optimistic until we hit September and nothing is announced. With so many expensive projects finishing up, it feels like there's some room for some new projects to break ground. Things I'm hopeful for: Timelines/Updates for existing/Delayed projects (Tron, Moana, World...

    Park Capacity

    We're planning our first christmas week (27th-1st) trip this year. I've been dreading the crowd levels, but it feels like with capacity limitations and the park pass system, this year's holiday week could end up being significantly less crowded than a typical year? Am I crazy for thinking that?

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I know this won't be open for my christmas 21 trip, but I'm chaperoning a school trip to WDW in early April. Fingers crossed for then. 🤞

    News Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind attraction confirmed for Epcot

    I was a little shocked when I saw just how big that box (Guardians) was from outside the park. Does anyone know what that area is supposed to look like once EVERYTHING is complete? I haven't seen any renderings like there are with Tron. Maybe there are still plans to obscure it a little bit?

    Rumor Spaceship Earth Redo Shelved Indefinitely

    Still rather new and figuring out acronyms. What is "TSR?"

    Voyage of the Little Mermaid is done, won't reopen with the parks.

    I've enjoyed the show on each trip to the park, but at peace with it being replaced. Long overdue in my opinion. Of course, all depending on what takes its place, and afraid we won't find out for some time. There were a few posts attacking the story consistency of the newer ride, but go ahead...

    News Remy's Ratatouille Adventure coming to Epcot

    Back at the press event for RotR, they gave us opening dates for a bunch upcoming attractions (Awesome Planet, Canada, MMRR, etc). Think we get some news regarding Rat and others at the MMRR press event tomorrow?

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    Personally, IP integration isn't really a consideration for what's a good ride and what's not. I always thought the Maelstrom was lame, and it's still a lame ride, now with an hour wait. But to the little girl who shows up in an Elsa dress, that's probably the best part of her whole trip...
