I think the removal of the archway is going to make this area feel a lot more included within the center of the park compared to its own dedicated area. This will at least slightly help with the dead-end feeling animation courtyard has today

Yeah, the (overdue) removal of launch bay is a potential pathway to a much looser timeline over in Galaxy’s Edge. Obviously it’s already fairly loose with the presence of Mando and Grogu but I think the strict timeline days are over. The presence of Star Wars characters outside of the sequel...

Wow. wow, while I was a fan of the car customization pre show, I really never realized how lackluster 2.0 was until now. 3.0 is a massive upgrade, the show scenes are so much fuller.

Not a movie studio anymore. The best way to generally describe the current theme of the park is that it’s a place where you enter and are immersed inside the world of specific movies/shows. Galaxy’s Edge, TSL, soon to be Monster’s Inc, ToT, and even Muppets RnRc. Given that this is the new...

I’d argue that the ride should take place in Hawaii, given that a water ride is the main thing DHS needs. Of course other aliens can be present as well but the Hawaii location would be a great change of pace compared to the concrete jungle in the rest of the park.

just wishful thinking here but, so far today, we’ve gotten a lilo and stitch plug in the parksblog post about the animation building, and now confirmation about development on lilo and stitch 2. Lilo and stitch would make for an awesome water ride in this area, a “Hawaiian roller coaster ride”...

Do you happen to know if connecting to the back of sunset blvd is part of the current plan?

That would be great. The earlier monsters is up and running, the earlier we can expect the Animation courtyard redo to get started

We’re all just making educated guesses, but my hunch is 2027 is solely tropical americas, while 2028 is the double-up year where monsters opens in first half while piston peak is second half. Then villains land gets 2029 to itself.

This would enhance DHS so much. An “adventure springs” type area (i.e., a parallel land to Adventureland the same way fantasy springs parallels fantasy land). Build the Moana flume using that patented tech from a couple years ago, clone the coco boat ride from DCA and throw in another IP of...

Yeah, that was mainly my point. There’s no reason why DHS shouldn’t have three entrances to Galaxy’s edge when its west coast counterpart was designed with three from the get-go.

Whatever they end up doing in animation courtyard, there needs to be a boat ride. DHS would really benefit from a water attraction. It doesn’t even need to be a massive investment like the Shanghai pirates ride system (although that would be nice), just a nice slow moving boat ride similar to...

Considering the berm they built up on that end of the land, it seems unlikely they could ever add in another entrance there in the future. Maybe if they ever expand SWGE towards Pixar place it could happen.

Randomly thought of a question while working today: Is there a good reason why the Galaxy’s Edge in DHS only has two entrances compared to the three entrances DL’s has? Seems like a third entrance would’ve fit perfectly in DHS leading up from Pixar Place. That would’ve really helped with guest...

My money is on MV3D to the Mickey Shorts theatre, which would then move to sunset showcase to replace the villains show once villains land opens in MK.

Assuming monsters does replace muppets courtyard, are there any plans to fast track an animation courtyard replacement? Continuing to ignore that sad, helpless area of the park just feels like a new low. How do they continue to make the same mistake over and over again?

This would be such a great break. We need a project that the fan base can be unanimously (as unanimous as possible at least) behind. Placing monsters in Muppets is an additional controversy for absolutely no reason, in a time where everything Disney does is controversial (and for good reason)...

Yeah I’m assuming Encanto is trackless. Not confirmed tho so that’s a good point

I think the second ride in this land has to be a trackless dark ride. Magic Kingdom is the last WDW park without a ride using the trackless system and it'll really add some diversity to MK's lineup. A trackless ride version of a Fantasmic-type story is the best case scenario IMO

Multiple insiders have mentioned that there’s a lot of interest at Disney in bringing a larger zootopia presence to WDW beyond the Tree of Life show. Someone also alluded to it being an option for AC if monsters goes to muppets.
