    News No ‘Wonderful World of Animation’ Show at Hollywood Studios August 2–5, 2025

    If we do 2 days in DHS in a trip, we like to do this the other night after doing Fantasmic!

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I think the night safari was eventually considered to be a failure and stopped running even while the late hours were still in effect. I do think DAK needs at least one more ride in addition to a new show on the water to really offer a complete nighttime experience but it’s getting there...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Absolutely love Awakenings and it’s a pity it really doesn’t happen now.

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Disney in the last year or two seems to be more responsive to guest feedback and trying to improve/plus experiences than previously under Iger. I don’t really expect any significant changes to Starlight especially in the short term but I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to see some “easy” stuff...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    I haven’t see it except from videos but what’s there seems high quality. It does seem like what is missing is simply more people parading (especially characters) and some smaller floats in between larger ones. I realize that would add to the daily expense of running the parade but seems like...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    Can’t speak for anyone else but I love PTN and was hoping they’d ship it to Florida. Starlight looks fine but I much prefer the more upbeat score of PTN - but I’m not a fan of trying to make a light parade “elegant” rather than exciting and fun.

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    I do think that people on these pages don’t recognize enough that Baroque Hoedown is literally the archetype of “Disney parade music” for the a huge majority of guests. It’s one of those things that is recognizable outside of its original context by being so well known.

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    I’ve seen that the costumes for PTN are considered a problem - they are apparently heavy and uncomfortable, expensive to run, difficult to maintain/keep in good shape, etc. it’s allegedly one of the main reasons they are hesitant to run PTN consistently. I didn’t expect them to have anything...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    For a middle position… I think some people would like to read the thread but be relatively spoiler free and have some surprises the day of the parade. But want to be able to read the thread to find out about logistical details like parade times, directions, soft openings, etc. I don’t think...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Indications are that it is similar to Imagination’s ride system (which is not an Omni-mover)

    DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    There was at least some talk that the western area was either a show or meet & greet. Don’t know if that was actual plans or just idle speculation

    Carousel of Progress refurb?

    I think it’s important to not only consider the “only thing at WDW touched by Walt” aspect but also that it was one of the actual Disney designed World’s Fair attractions. That doesn’t mean it won’t ever go away but there is certainly a higher bar due to history than pretty much anything else at...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Well I legitimately think another ride will come after Tropical Americas, but yeah getting two would be awesome. And with the Paris TLK and DCA Pandora there are some easy things to add….

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I do think either the Lion King ride in Africa or a third ride in Pandora (or both!) is really what the park needs to finally getting to an unequivocal full day status for all guests.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    I do think that a new show on the water - probably with drones - is going to happen, probably opening at the same time Tropical Americas opens and we’ll see extended hours. Looking forward to Awakenings happening regularly as well.

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    Well I guess my question was more “Does the Encanto ride actually emphasize animals and nature?” as opposed to being more like a movie book report (and many here argue it will be). If they do the same level of story treatments in Tropical Americas that they did for Pandora then I’d be...

    DAK 'Encanto' and 'Indiana Jones'-themed experiences at Animal Kingdom

    From what you know, do you have any thoughts on how well the ride “fits” into DAK?

    'Ironheart' (Marvel Disney+ Series)

    So I just finished watching it. Don’t want to get too spoilery but thought the plot was actually good and I really commend that each episode was actually a well contained story so it worked as a TV show but just with a season long plot. I didn’t find the characters all that great though -...

    DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Agreed. I know some have wondered/speculated that by pushing back the rude building further into backstage space (compared to the original concept art) there is now more room for something in from of that building. It’s possible that the covered area to the left when walking towards rude might...

    MK All-New Nighttime Parade Disney Starlight Set to Debut at Magic Kingdom in 2025

    We (collectively) can’t complain that there isn’t stuff made specifically fit the parks and then complain when they make original things instead of pre existing IP. Personally I love that they made something specific for the parade.
