If D+ can be compelled to pay competitive rates for streaming rights to all their theatrical releases including the under-performers, I don't really see there being a huge difference in the resorts being compelled to pay for access to D+. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The argument would be that it isn't free to the resort. They'd have to pay some sort of discounted rate to the D+ division for everyone who uses it. To which, I say so what? That would make it even easier to funnel parks and resort money to D+ to make it more profitable. A huge chunk of...

Disney thank$ you for your regrettable parenting choice. ;)

Nah, that'll be Muppet Haunted Mansion.

Still works with the dog since he's the same kind of animal Goofy is but can't talk and is enslaved by Mickey. I'd call him an edge case, too.

I just mean as an attraction in and of itself. In DL, the theater was built into CA so the situation is obviously a little different. I'd also be happy to see this actually happen at HS and settle for them gutting the town square theater to turn the existing space back there into something that...

Yeah, my understanding is that it was going to be an east-coast concept roughly doing the same thing the Hyperion does in California Adventure that opened with Aladdin which was replaced about eight years ago by Frozen. Haven't seen Frozen but the 45 minute Aladdin show was really impressive as...

Nailed it. Of course it will. That show will turn off the lights to the park the day water levels rise to the point we all have to abandon Florida.

Anyone want to take bets which will eventually close first? This, Launch Bay or Frozen Singalong? ;)

And they could have just had an extended "soft opening" and still held the Official opening for that, anyway. It really didn't have to be that way - especially with how the 50th turned out, overall.

I find the Epcot spine particularly egregious. New attractions or reworked attractions off to the side being slow-rolled are one thing but they were way too comfortable leaving the front half of that park a torn up mess for way too long. Things like that which directly impact guest's existing...

I agree with just about everything here except the Monorail. I don't expect we will ever see an expansion of that - not when the current trains are so far past their originally anticipated life-expectancy that they would qualify for antiuqe licence plates in the state of Florida if they were...

Except much of this decade, Disney was making money hand-over-fist. This was the heyday of the MCU and before D+ started siphoning money like crazy. This is also when the parks began to really struggle with supply/demand and overcrowding - remember this is when they cut down all those trees in...

There have got to be people in leadership that still remember the lukewarm response to their original potter-swatter* so hopefully, they'll do what they did when Universal came to town and what they did when IOA opened which is say they see no threat but then actually build like they do. ...

Well, I tried twice with "agree to disagree". I also conceded that my statement wasn't literally correct and that was apparently too subtle for them... so here we are. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Emotions? It was hyperbole but I can use words that don't suggest basic emotion, too. How about instead of sad, pretty disingenuous to call them dusting off Main Street Electrical Parade (which premiered at DL in 1972 and WDW in 1977) something new? How about, a hard stretch to call the Art...

Except they were the same project - that construction ended up taking longer on the main component not allowing it to open along with the rest and then counting that as a second thing is basically rewarding them for the delay... Also, the majority of your list weren't "additions". And sorry, I...

We're clearly on two different wavelengths and for a lot of this. I think we'll have to agree to disagree. My thoughts are involving things that increase attraction capacity and yours are on things like low-budget overlays*, resort/hotel room capacity increases and projects specifically...

My suggestion is going in with the lowest possible expectations. At worst, you'll get what you expected and at best, you'll be shocked and delighted. IMHO, giving in to any of their hype and expecting this to be amazing is setting yourself up for disappointment.

Except this is ignoring how Disney's been doing things: Taking a decade (or more) off from updates/expansions (where they did do nothing) since the central Florida market was allegedly "mature" although not too mature for more DVC, then announcing things years in advance, only to quietly kill...
