Oh, for sure! I got to see it a few times in California and Hong Kong, but... I dunno. The style of the float feels so different than the giant Belle, which I honestly really hated. But fair point. I just feel that MOST of the titles presented in Paint The Night are improved with the heavy bass...

Judging by the deeply basic classic Princess ballroom float that reminds me of the mirror castle, I doubt we're getting anything too "pop" in the music. Unlike Paint The Night, there aren't a lot of characters that would benefit from a thumping beat - and the art style is clearly going towards...

I think it works really well in Hong Kong (where I saw it first) due to it's cleaner design and the more crisp and modern feel of the park - in addition to it's spectacular entertainment program that gives the sense that you are experiencing the park along with the characters in a more intimate...

Got Percy Jackson, too. Partner forgot to submit…! Ah well. I’ll be getting in Standby as best as I can.

I think it is quite obvious that the Parks socials are giving us little bits to chew on until D23. - I DEFINITELY think Vacation Hoedown is coming to Country Bears, with songs like “Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride”, “Under The Sea”, “In Summer”, and selections from “A Goofy Movie” as examples of...

If only they had been able to fix the drones for “Rivers of Light”. The show would still be here.

I’m a little mixed on this - instead of the big movie panel, choices are Goofy Movie, Hulu’s book-to-screen adaptations, Walt’s personal art, and the Disney Princess concert. For me the winner would normally be the Disney Princess concert, but I saw it last year. I’ve no major Goofy Movie or...

I agree. They can’t really do a book report without heavily-implied murder. I also think leaving Young Simba off the ride is plush money out the window. And if this is a clone, I can’t imagine Disney Adventure World will have a ride based on Conservation.

I think the idea that “we’re doing something we’ve never done before” references the presentation style at D23 expo. I feel like there will be a theatrical audience experience. If I had to guess, they’re going to turn the stadium into a jungle. Fits with Tropical Americas, Adventureland...

Depends on how you feel about the “cave in” on Big Thunder.

The central conceit of the Circle of Life is essential to the story of DAK. The “transformational power of nature” is not about animals doing Shakespeare, it is about accepting death and the cyclical nature of life. The Lion King is about one of the most “Animal Kingdom” ideas out there. The...

Kinda surprising that, with the possibility of a water coaster or swifter water attraction in play, the needle seems to be pointing towards another slow moving boat ride with minor dips directly next to another slow moving boat ride with minor dips. This is obviously the best spot for Moana...

This is very salient in the point of Epic Universe. If Universal makes good on their promises for live entertainment in EU, it will inevitably draw comparisons to not only other Disney parks, but also the Universal parks. Losses in Pandora and Asia will likely be far more obvious when compared...

Thanks so much for the replies! We did one-park per day tickets. There are a lot of really interesting options at Red Rose and, weirdly, Galactic Grill. I think that’s where we’ll do an on-the-run breakfast now that I consider it. A hop into Tiki Room/Tropical Hideaway should be sufficient. I...

Sort of a planning question, sort of a comment: Should I take my boyfriend to see Fantasmic during D23? For context, my partner has never been to Disneyland before, and we’ve planned on spending our time at Disneyland during “D23 Day”. This will be his first time at Disneyland, and (because we...

I remember when they changed the Kali River Rapids and Expedition Everest costumes to streamline them. While the t-shirts for Kali were gross, the Everest costumes were sorely missed, and definitely stripped some story away from the experience with the “Himaylan Escapes” patch taken away. Cast...

I can imagine a new parade “in production” would be a great low-lift for a D23 announcement. They wouldn’t have to make good on the promise for two years. If they want the crowd to roar they’d also announce a nighttime parade (returning or new). If they want to instantly fix the current...

I truly think this is a replacement for Frozen. They’ll test in for a month and then replace it, I imagine. It’s probably due to contracts that they can’t call it permanent. Perhaps they’ll add Kristoff to Friendship Faire to give the cast member a placement through his contract - though I’m...

Popping back in because of the new pictures of the sensors in the gourds - doesn’t that scream “re-used Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom” to you? Is it possible that SotMK was closed so Moana could live? And if so… wow, that would be lame. I really hope WDI was able to figure out how to fix the...

Thanks so much for the comprehensive timeline - it’s endlessly frustrating that the close date for Harmonious and Enchantment aren’t released. I also think this is a fascinating timeline in the fact that October - December are kinda like “safe months” for Disney in the fact that they really...
