That's why I said the solution was to build more parks and more resorts two decades ago (and a decade ago, and five years ago, and last year, and last week ...). If you build more parks, capacity increases.

We know this. We are saying it is bad. We are saying it is not in the longterm interests of the company.

That's exactly the case I am making, for a variety of reasons, but the most important being ... 1. They have priced the middle-class out of the parks, that means millions of middle-class children who aren't attending the parks every couple years and who will never build the affinity for the...

Fair point. Disney stopped building full parks and started building quarter-day parks ("Oh, but we're gonna fill it in later").

The smart solution is to build more parks and resorts.

I posted this three years ago and it's worse today than it was then ... 1982 (opening of EPCOT): One Day Ticket = $15 Annual Pass = $100 Adjusted for Inflation in 2022 (1982 prices): One Day Ticket = $45 Annual Pass = $303 Actual Ticket Prices in 2022: One Day Ticket = $124 ($189 over peak...

I haven't been back since 2013 and it was because it was the first time I felt like Disney was nickel and diming me and it significantly diminished my enjoyment of that trip. I could afford an annual trip, but I don't feel like the company deserves my money. Trip Report from 2013

If this is accurate (and I'm not saying it is or it isn't), then I want full credit for being the first person to point out that they would screw up the Splash-redo because they set the precedent of no shrunken heads when they removed Trader Sam from the Jungle Cruise and they would look like...

There are tools available to reasonably squeeze in villains/locations that don't seem like a natural fit. For example, off the top of my head, you could have guests view Scar's lair or Cruella De Vil's home through the Magic Mirror, while in an attraction focused on the Evil Queen and/or a dark...

I don't think they'll make an attraction where the villains win.

I'd bet there's going to be a dark ride where all of the villains have been summoned to team-up and Sorcerer Mickey has to fight them off. It's how you squeeze a ton of otherwise unassociated villains into one land. Then you'll get the building where each villain is in their "lair" for photo ops.

It doesn't need to be solely thrill rides ... it just needs to have a lot more thrill rides than a park like the Magic Kingdom (5). I don't even really like the thrill rides, but I acknowledge it is the biggest thing WDW resort is missing.

I said it earlier in the thread ... are there Disney films with no villain? There is plenty of IP; there is plenty of demand for thrill rides; and Disney eventually gives up on every non-castle park. The solution? A thrill-ride castle park. Their current course of action will be a land with...

There isn't enough existing content? Are there Disney films that don't have villains?

Well, no disagreement there ... it should have been it's own mirror-Magic Kingdom (with Malificent's castle) thrill ride park set where the Transportation and Ticket Center is. But that's not what they are building. *shrugs shoulders*

Because no Disney animated films featured a dark forest and village? There ... I just did their research for them.

Essentially, yes. It should look like an evil forest next to a dark village (like Epic Universe). And various lairs should populate the land. Yup, that's what I think they should be building. If the Imagineers want to research it, they could go down the street and buy a ticket.

You don't need to travel to research 40 year old Disney cartoons. You purchase a Disney+ account and watch the films.

I think it's hilarious/sad that Imagineering has to take a vacation *cough* research trip to design a land that any seven year old with a Disney+ account and a box of Crayolas could accomplish creatively.

When The Last Jedi was released, I started actively hating the company.
