    News Reflections – A Disney Lakeside Lodge (Project 89 - Development near Fort Wilderness)

    Hard no thanks. The sheer amount of effort they continue to put into utterly ruining Fort Wilderness and what made it special for so long is so, so depressing.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    The biggest loss of this entire thing is that TSI and the riverboat were my two main escapes from the hordes on NYE.

    News Cars-Themed Attractions at Magic Kingdom

    I don’t like this at all but I also don’t think it’s a decision they made lightly. As for the Liberty Belle, maybe it winds up docked on the fringes of Villains? That would be an interesting idea if done properly.

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    I like it. I will miss the old show forever, and wish some more of it was retained (neither Bear Band Serenade nor Blood on the Saddle is a shame and I think one could have been kept), but I think this is a fine replacement that does everything it possibly can to honour the legacy it's adopting...

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

    I genuinely think that simply mashing up "Dig a Little Deeper" with the bom-bom-bom from Other Side on the lift would go a long, LONG way. Maybe literally one line of dialogue to explain that this spell's gonna be a big one to start the hype up beforehand. But I can literally hear it in my head...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    The thought occurred to me today that a lot of the leadership on this previously did Runaway Railway, which is very funny because the plot beats of that would almost perfectly fit the overall track of this ride. So it's not like they aren't capable of writing something that fits that, they...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I will say, the most representative moment of this whole video is the section at 4:17 where you're going down a straight with Tiana at the end, and she just sits there staring blankly until you get close to her, where she then starts talking to you. It's SO awkward. They could've given her...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I've been super optimistic on this project but that seems all kinda ehhh. The majority of animatronics are way more basic than I was hoping for, and they're a lot more spaced out than I was hoping for too. Plot seems weirdly underexplained while also having way too much signposting and written...

    News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

    I'm still fundamentally not a fan of the concept of this redo, but I will say that a bear giving a full throated country interpretation of "Try Everything" while a slideshow of them unsuccessfully (?) trying out adventurous activities plays, which is what I deciphered from what they were saying...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    I actually got almost 100% vibe of the "Swinter" song from Phineas & Ferb from it. How much of that is both of them just wearing genre tropes on their sleeve, I don't know. But I bet you I'll come out of this thing with "it's a swinter swonderland, unusual and grand" stuck in my head the first...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I mean hey, maybe if they put a Moana boat ride in Adventureland, they can move the Flying Carpets over to there and give it the Kakamora skin from the DAK concept.

    Transformative Multi-Year Expansion Announced for WDS Paris

    Well, to be fair, if they called it Adventure Land they would have other problems with confusion relating to the other park...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    Genuinely, deeply hate the idea of a song with vocals/lyrics on the first turn. That's gonna leak elsewhere pretty bad and be pretty insufferable if you're nearby. I can see them adjusting that to the instrumental mix if they haven't finalized it before even testing it IRL. Lighting could just...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    Noting that they have said they will implement a robust "return to queue" system for anyone who needs to leave for any reason, this is a good change and - I'll admit - more sweeping than I expected. Hopefully the implementation of that "return to queue" system will be good enough for those who...

    New DAS System at Walt Disney World 2024

    The new DLP system is absolutely awful in some scenarios. For example, we visited with a party member under the old system who qualified (wheelchair user for mobility reasons, but with other conditions that make the accommodations a big help/peace of mind by making it easier to remove the risk...

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    Hahahah very true, that one's finished me off for the day more than once! Also, I absolutely love that the awning echoes the building design with the black segment. Gorgeous bit of design. Good work Disney.

    News Test Track to be reimagined

    Hallelujah the cheap frame is going. That's all I needed to see to be excited tbh. Hopefully they work on the painful braking towards the end too. Friend of mine said it was "the worst ride in any park" because it hurts his neck.

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    The new AAs look absolutely stellar. Now if they can just make sure there are enough of them (of varying complexity, of course), they'll be well on the road to a winner. It's a shame it takes "replacing a heavy-AA attraction" to stir them to put in this kind of number of quality AAs. Should be...

    News Tiana's Bayou Adventure - latest details and construction progress

    It does seem to be missing the kinetics that kind of define a ride poster for me (vs. a show poster which doesn't necessarily have that). It doesn't even depict the ride vehicle, and the ride facade itself - and its signature drop - take a background role. Bit of a miss, that one. I get why they...
