I've argued this one a lot, but PLAY! had no real purpose in EPCOT. It would have been out of the way. There are so many small exhibits and playgrounds (thinking Mission: SPACE, Seas, outdoor by Creations, outdoor between Imagination and Canada, plus all the Kidcot stops, Communicore stuff...

I think this is all we'll see here for over a decade, but at least it's getting some love, finally! I'll miss the arch, but the trees and flowers should make it a lot more beautiful to spend time in. It also has something to offer for almost anyone, which is refreshing, and gives the building...

Anyone know if they're currently restricting access to the post-show area or can you just walk in? We have a toddler with us, so we're not interested in riding, but we might check out the new exit area if they'll let us.

I don't think people really want a fifth theme park. Maybe if it had the old way of designing, but DAK wouldn't happen today, IMHO. Today, it would be Disney Lakeside Adventure Park. Until we get some creative people in charge, which may never happen, it's best to just develop what we have.

I believe the area that the playground is going was looked at for an animal exhibit. However, as you can see, there's just no room for anything big outside of that space. At best, there would be frogs, snakes, or spiders in a tank somewhere, but I'm now doubtful; it's possible though since they...

That's the thing, it's night and day (to me) between the internal executives. Do you go with the people who can't seem to turn around the business they're supposed to be good at or do you go with the one that has gained momentum in the areas that they oversee? Sure, there's issues, but growth...

He helped (doesn't deserve all the credit) create an opportunity for growth. Park capacities (domestic and foreign) are in expansion, a new park is coming, multiple cruise ships are coming. Meanwhile, those overseeing the film business have had trouble stabilizing it and profitability is...

For Josh, the biggest one for me was paid resort parking. Started in 2018 and removed in 2023.

I agree, maybe I wasn't clear. The trio in the 1980's were all outsiders. I'd love a trio like that, but if not, an outsider. My fear though is Disney is too big for one person to oversee everything and get it right. Iger would love to say he does it today, but nope. Thunderbolts* box office...

IMHO, if it's between D'Amaro and Walden exclusively, I think D'Amaro has earned it more. From a success point of view, his side has been showing signs of long term growth, especially with a new park coming. Meanwhile, the film business... let's just say it's struggling. The best possible...

If you're a DVC member, don't go to the AP lounge in Morocco expecting a similar experience to the Imagination lounge. Imagination was quiet mostly with soda (and other drinks like coffee) and assorted snacks. Morocco's AP lounge was crowded with two water containers, Pita chips and a bag of...

This will probably will never happen, but I'd love for them to move the Frontierland Station to the Villains land, with a larger station and flat entry with no steps. I've always found the Frontierland station to be a pain (cramped space). I'm originally from the west coast though, which has...

For me, losing the riverboat is the hardest part of it all. TSI is one thing, and it looks like elements of it are being put into this new area, but the boat is an unusual attraction that anyone could enjoy. It's really too bad they don't look at a way to put it someplace else. Had they said...

I have a feeling HM will see some queue changes itself. Mostly because of LL, the line spills out more than it did historically. I could see them making modifications to contain it better, maybe somewhat similar to what they did on the west coast.

We were there last night simply because it is mother's day weekend and my DW wanted to eat here. Never did I want to be last, out of fear of them running out of stuff. They did not have spaghetti, which was OK. I was more worried about the bread and olive oil. I wanted the full experience. They...

Splash Mountain too, for a more recent one, in which they had chances to stop it. This is going to happen.

Which is sad, because it was Pixar's Pinocchio. Then again, WDW has a pretty limited Pinocchio presence. Mostly just the quick service restaurant that most people associate more with IASW. I'd argue though that both were important to their studios, especially had they failed. Regardless, I'm...

Just spitballing, but they really should have a sloth animatronic in the pre-show area. That would be perfect. 😅 It'd win me over just by having an animatronic where one wasn't before. They definitely will be doing work in that area. Lots of bug specific stuff there and lighting surrounding...

Limiting Inside Out to a 3D show and balloon ride is a misuse of a billion dollar franchise, IMHO. Zootopia at least has a land in Shanghai (and possibly something for WDW, we'll see). The only upside is they would probably get an IO 3D show open faster. Only thing is, if they don't use IO for...

I just learned for the first time that they changed the actor a while ago. lol I didn't even notice. 😅
