yeah…that’s a bit weird.

So…you’re saying this was your last straw with Disney because the parks were actually not crowded and wait times were down? Sounds like a dream come true to me, though I could list at least 10 other reasons why the parks have gone downhill the past decade.

i completely forgot this still existed until now. totally counts.

This is an absolute win.

You’re not alone. I don’t see any downsides to this. It’s the first time to my knowledge that Disney brought back an attraction from the past- in a new form- but it’s actually embracing something the park was meant for- movie magic. I think it looks great too and could be a more laid back area...

I’m with you here. I don’t see this being temporary. it’s a great design and is what the area used to be known for- Animation. I don’t know why everyone is suddenly being so negative towards this/acting like they want a World of Frozen here instead because that was probably the only option. We...

Okay but define temporary- because i guess any attraction could be temporary. Because Launch Bay was rotting there for 10 years, and this seems much more like a complete area overhaul and not a simple overlay while they wait for something else. I think the only reason they’re doing this is...

Exactly my point. The big IPs already have lands in development, and the chances of them investing in a whole Muppets land or being allowed to use Marvel Studios are null. It would be a World of Frozen clone or some other IP that we’ve gotten too much of and would contrast with that section of...

Not sure how anyone could be mad about this or why they think this is temporary. We literally just got a huge Mermaid refurb and they’re touching the most dead area of the park. If you wanted a new immersive land, you’d all be disappointed to discover it wouldn’t be Muppets or Marvel- it’d be...

Hard disagree. If they went with a new immersive land, you’d all be disappointed by the IP they chose to replace it with (because it wouldn’t be Muppets). They can’t use Marvel on the east coast so their IP options would be severely limited. I don’t want a World of Frozen or another Cars land at...

idk, i’d be okay if it was tbh. it is the animation building where Stitch, Mulan, and Brother Bear were all animated and kind of brings that section of the park back to its roots. i gotta say i love the inclusion of the sorcerer hat too- brings some life to that section of the park.

some of the instagram comments are killing me. people are seriously nostalgic for Launch Bay? Launch Bay?! the temporary preview center in ANIMATION courtyard when an entire Star Wars land exists around the corner?

To me that entails they have much bigger announcements for the other parks that they’re saving.

Welcome back Sorcerer Hat. You’re looking much better these days.

Dave Ensign was spitting facts when he said there was no way those new animatronics would survive long in the same humid, mold-ridden building from the 80s/90s due to their mechanics and programming. SM was able to because of the simple hydraulics most of the figures used- though the movements...

“becoming the land- an all new immersive experience”

Here’s something that’s been bugging me ever since I was a kid in the early 2000s. A lot of the early promotional material made for Fantasmic was used in park marketing, travel guides, etc. I found a few images/screenshots from early commercials that show off an alternate dragon design. my...

kind of wild that dragon on a stick outlived Disneyland’s and Tokyo’s dragons tbh I kind of wish they’d just use Tokyo’s design for both coasts. it’s just a massive head like dragon on a stick, but has the advanced features of Disneyland’s model and looks way more like Maleficent does in the film.

yes! don’t get me wrong, like i said if both parties are big fans of disney, have always wanted a proposal like that, etc. go for it. who am i to judge? that’d be a really special moment for them. but i don’t think it’d be wise to surprise your SO by doing it while on a trip to Disney if they...

this may be a hot one. I think proposing to someone at Disney is one of the corniest things ever and a huge red flag. If you’re both Disney adults or always go to the parks or whatever, fine- but I feel like in any other case it loses sentimental value and if I were proposing to my SO, I’d...
