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

    The main issue is that Disney's output this year mostly sucked. They have boardrooms that hold back creators from going all in on their ideas, and now they're being smashed by other studios who are actually trying. TMNT was better than any Disney animated film in years and that is another...

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

    I like what they're doing with the ride so far after seeing more finished work. It seems like a nice way to bring in more voices that have been mostly absent from the planning and design of Disney Parks. The backstory is still convoluted and weird, but that backstory likely has little to do with...

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure: Disneyland Watch & Discussion

    I'm going to Disneyland with my wife for our first trip this July. She was sad that Splash will be closed since it is her favourite ride. She is Japanese and only has experience with TDL, but she thinks Splash is the cutest ride and really loves it. I told her it was going to become a Tiana...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    No, you missed the part that leaves room for "this isn't for me and that's fine," which is a completely reasonable and understandable response for anything.

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    I should really stop, because this is driving me insane, but "mansplaining" doesn't refer simply to aggressive arguing (which every gender can easily do, by the way). It primarily is about completely ignoring the perspectives of non-male voices while making an argument, or shutting the door to...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    Outside of comparing sentient beings to a car... If you don't want to drive a car because you don't like the colour, you are making a personal choice based on likes and interests. If you don't like a film because of its diverse elements, you are also making a personal choice based on likes and...

    News Bob Iger is back! Chapek is out!!

    I find the idea that Lightyear is some sort of transgressive diverse film completely insane. It is a movie about a white masculine male learning to take responsibility for himself by trusting others and sharing the burden. He is incredibly heroic and celebrated throughout. If people's ideas of...

    Avengers Campus - Reactions / Reviews

    After watching a ride through, I'm not sure how it is possible to defend this ride. The only really interesting thing is the motion tech, but that isn't new or innovative since Xbox Kinnect did it in your living room ten years ago. The ride DLC is the absolute worst kind of slippery slope...

    FastPass+ Most Certainly Not Coming Back As It Was

    Some of the takes in this thread are wild. Are we really okay with the idea that you pay hundreds of dollars per day knowing that you can't ride everything? Reservations for food six months out was bad enough, but that's an upcharge privilege you can ignore. The entire point of paying the entry...

    The World's Most Magical Celebration - Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary

    When I watched the nighttime show at SDL I walked to the side of the castle to get a better view without people around. None of the cast stopped me or told me to go back and I ended up being almost directly below some of the pyro jets. I could not only see the pyro up close, but I could feel the...

    Disney cancelling shows -- a necessary move

    People are still making excuses for multi-billion dollar corporations in 2020?

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    This is a serious problem with Shanghai that affects every ride including Pirates. The screen and projection effects in Pirates look better on video because the cavernous rooms make the huge screens look as fake as they are. Sometimes they reflect onto the water too, which looks horrible. The...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    This makes sense. I did only ride it once back in May of 2019. It felt like 30 seconds once you get into the show building. I was pretty hyped for recognizers and races and it was really only two effects on some corners and then a loop around to the end. Are launch coasters worth it is a good...

    News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

    I've been to Shanghai. Treasure Cove is not that great. It has the cool rocks and pirate ship but the pathways are so massive it doesn't feel like it has a real identity and the weather in Shanghai ruins any immersion it might have if you're hugging close to the buildings. It has a great ride...

    News Disney announces strategic restructuring of media and entertainment divisions.

    Extraction was the first big tentpole film designed to be released through streaming exclusively that was a huge success. They tried it a couple of times before but that was the big hit. We don't know enough about numbers to conclude if it was a big deal for Netflix, but Netflix continuing to...

    Beauty and the Beast Tokyo ride through

    I agree with the takes about the impressive tech, as well as the takes about the poor pacing and show design. Based on the video, this ride is kind of like a beautifully shot movie with a bad script. I don't think experiencing it in person would be much different with how huge those rooms are...

    Sony & MARVEL are friends again; Spider-Man is back in the MCU

    Disney makes 100% of the profit from everything to do with the character except box office receipts. They ask Sony to give up half the box office receipts. Not a single person in their right mind says yes to this. Sony should tell them to pound sand and not compromise at all. Disney makes way...

    News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

    That post is absolutely bonkers. Anyone who was in that thread would call what he did a threat, now he's trying to use semantics to pretend he did absolutely nothing wrong? Matt, please, I would respect you a lot if you would just say "sorry, I goofed" and move on instead of trying to erase...

    News Expose reveals WDC control in online fan community

    The fact that people can't imagine this Spider-Man without a connection to Iron Man is a failure of the filmmakers. Spider-Man in an A+++++ property that stood on his own while barely touching the Avengers for fifty years in the comics. If Sony puts their heads together and gives talented...
