Sad to see this happening already, I’d have to guess that the white plastic is a new permanent “solution” that will simply eliminate the failed lighting. Why try again if you can simply make the problem go away? 🤦‍♂️

Not WDW, but Aulani is proof Disney can build a great resort and pool complex.

No real additions, just replacements and small operational upgrades. It’s definitely a little harder to add to the mountain and space is limited around the perimeter, but TL managed to do it. It’s sad to see both parks stagnate the way they have. Unfortunately any real investment is unlikely as...

Agree completely on AK being the hottest park by far, shocked that anyone would suggest otherwise. While the park is largely outdoor queues and attractions, Pandora is the exception to that and we need more. More dark rides, more water rides, more A/C. So much potential at AK and just tragic...

Just watched this live stream, looks really good! Think it was about 33 minutes in if you rewind.

While no project of this size is simple, using RoA/TSI isn’t likely more difficult or expensive than any other option. Since they’re currently used areas with some infrastructure in place, you could argue it’s actually the easy way out (kind of like DvC dropping Riviera into CBR instead of...

It’s often quite less though, and even that 30+ posted wait isn’t usually accurate. Its location doesn’t help but it’s also on the scary side for some. Compare it to Indy’s popularity at DL and it doesn’t stand a chance unfortunately. I truly hate to see it (and the land) go but they clearly...

Sadly it’s gone and not likely coming back. Unfortunately being outdoors and weather dependent complicated things all too often. I think WDW was ok seeing it go away in favor of more DVC. Definitely a shame to lose something unique though.

I completely agree on all points. No need to have the final scene in today’s future. I’d actually prefer they go back to the original final scene to avoid a time warp that makes no sense. As you said, it has historical significance and deserves to stick around.

Love to see investments like this that can be done outside park hours with no negative effect on guests. I still wish they’d invest in some updates to the show itself, mostly the final act, but at least we still have this classic attraction.

I bought one of those tickets. I found it far from one of the best movies ever made. In fact, if I could go back, I wouldn’t have bought that ticket and would have been happy waiting for it on Disney+.

The DL ToT just always suffered from being compared to its cooler, older brother in Florida (my personal favorite which I hope never gets touched). Disney seized on this when the mandate came down to capitalize on the Marvel acquisition. ToT was an easy target and quicker to overhaul than...

ITTBAB is definitely my favorite of the 4D shows. An immersive theater that really feels like you’ve been transported and surrounded by amazing detail. The 4D effects blended seamlessly with the actual video (which are admittedly terrifying to most young kids that can only be compared to Alien...

I agree. DAK and Aulani are masterpieces in my opinion. It doesn’t mean Rohde is perfect, but I’d have a hard time naming a more influential Imagineer in the past couple of decades. I do fear DAK’s future without Rohde at the helm. Very few seem to value the authenticity and attention to detail...

I agree and wasn’t actually suggesting that Disney should expand the monorail. If their cash resort room prices weren’t so out of control, they might actually be able to keep them filled. DVC is the easy way out and will have an interesting effect once those contracts expire.

Yep, easier and cheaper to just keep converting those unoccupied hotel rooms to DVC units. Sad to see this happening to a great resort, and I’ve been a DVC owner close to 20 years.

Just about to say the same thing. Disney doesn’t need a parking garage to pack them into Epcot, they’ll even use the grass when there’s demand for it.

Any guesses on when Dinosaur might close? I’d like to pay my final respects.

This was honestly my first thought. I’m all for some added live entertainment but this one just feels weird to me, at least on video. Also a bit underwhelming for me.

Agreed, and I’ll add that if it’s the same price as the Wish, I’m also out.
