    Report from the CM Preview of "Share A Dream Come True" Parade at the Magic Kingdom

    Yes, every few years there was some new sort of offering. I remember Mickey Mania lasting for a few years and then they switched over to the 25th Parade. That had a few versions, too.

    Two coasts: One very different world

    While show quality suffers. Show before efficiency. They need to shut Dumbo down and fix it/repaint before anyone should be let back on.

    ...Space Mountain rising over you.... Woo hoo for Fantasyland.

    Two coasts: One very different world

    Yes... Need. On an operational standpoint. And on that level, I think they did a wonderful job. The new area looks nice. But... is this the best that Disney can do? Bring us fixes to large, broken (albeit, in this case, popular) park problems? Is Disney's next best thing really a fancy...

    DCA Setting Records and WDW

    Which was part of a very public 5 year plan that the resort had. Currently? WDW has FLE and that's that. So I don't know why you would advise patience... do you know something we don't?

    DCA Setting Records and WDW

    What are you referring to? The fact that Walt Disney World was born with a 5 year plan in mind to have it operating at the same level of Disneyland by 1976? Meanwhile, after Tomorrowland's expansion and PoC, it made those numbers in 4 years instead of 5? The only doom and gloom (oh, that...

    How is this? 20LutS was an addition for the MK very early on and was an extension of the original version in Disneyland. Goff imported his aesthetic for the subs from the film, something DL dien't have, and made the ride much more based in the fantasy of the film. Given the fact that, back...

    DCA Setting Records and WDW

    No, the lines for HoP, Mickey Mouse Review, CBJ, and Mansion (the first three of those being totally new shows for WDW) proved nothing. Nor did the massive crowds flooding into WDW in Nov 1971. 20LutS also had large lines, though that's a capacity thing... Much like how people love to say...

    Two coasts: One very different world

    How is expansion like that not needed when the place is bursting at the seams and hasn't seen a new E Ticket since 1992? Have you seen the throngs of people that clutter up the walkways at night? How POTC and HM often reach 30 mins? The place need something new to soak up all those people that...

    Not to mention that WDW makes all the money for the company and that's about it. Get that time share machine crankin'!

    Two coasts: One very different world

    Yes, it will be great for story, but what about operations? The place will be mobbed. What will pick up the crowds? I honestly wonder how MK will handle crowds after FLE when it can barely handle them now. The 1992-1996 that is Fantasyland is not going to help out 2012 Magic Kingdom, even...

    Two coasts: One very different world

    That's not the point. The point is growth. Fantasyland isn't growth. All of these improvements are indeed improvements, but they are ones that the park is begging for and should have been here in 1996. That's when all this was planned for. Yes. 1996. In 1992 there were rumblings about finally...

    Woo! High praise from Da Spirit! Thanks! :cool:

    Two coasts: One very different world

    Thanks. I expect there to be some WOW factor left... mostly for the reasons listed below... Yes, the "expansion" is adding depth to the MK. That's the big wow. FL will actually look falfway decent and maybe even comparable to the lovely FL out West and the one in Paris. Or... at least...

    DCA Setting Records and WDW

    I honestly have no idea how they would go about a park like that.. Interesting to note that everybody but Orlando (and the fans) think that MGM is broken. I wish they would think that way about MK or EPCOT. ...Even DAK. Much more important things to fix, though MGM does need help.

    DCA Setting Records and WDW

    No, it seemingly has scenes and AAs in there... but... ya know... Cars. If I had a choice between the investment in WDW or the ride in WDW, I would take the investment.

    I think it would be wise to prepare yourself for a MarvelOus new park. ...sigh. Anyone got some plans for WestCOT lying around? Can we bombard Iger and his minions with those?

    Two coasts: One very different world

    Are we considering FLE to be major? The Tomorrowland expansion in 1975 was major. It added to the park. Horizons, the Living Seas, Morocco, Sunset Blvd, and E:E all added to their parks. Those were expansions. Fantasyland 2 is a early 90s plan to make up for the fact that 20LutS closed...

    Two coasts: One very different world

    But the whole point of *that* is that it is settling for a lowered quality product. Why should we do that if we are paying the Walt Disney Company for admission to a theme park that should offer the HIGHEST quality product? Expect more out of them, not the bare minimum. Disney's past...
