If it was me, I'd have all of the Disney original IP's in MK and use the Studios park for the acquired IP's.

Plus isn't all of "Gay Lost" basically one big ad for Disney characters? Disney getting huffy about media synergy is pretty rich.

Chiming on the discussion of visiting 'real' places on vacation-- rather than continuing to mourn what's happened to Original Recipe EPCOT Center (my sister wanted to take me there for my landmark birthday this year, and we decided 'what's the point?') and Future World, my family has now made an...

I'm fine with a Remy ride in WS. If they're hell-bent on character overlays, that one at least isn't totally off-base in France.

It's one of those schemes that is SO CLOSE but not quite there. I like the greens...but not with the mauve. I miss the monochrome paint scheme EPCOT used to have.

I'm going to chime in just to throw my vote behind what others have already and more eloquently said: I don't want old EPCOT rides back. But I do want that spirit, ambition, and aesthetic back.

:hilarious: :) o_O :( :cry:

That last shot really underscores how awful the paint job is on the Imagination pavilion. Looks like it was hit by a flamethrower loaded with Skittles.

I'm with you on this. There's your Potter Swatter right there. Rowling doesn't hold a copyright on a lot of the creatures she uses in her books. Do it better.

Yeah, Gawker is garbage but it's read by a lot of people. (Not sure how much overlap there is between Gawker readers and pixie dusters, though.)

Gawker's picked up on the tracking aspect, by the way: http://gawker.com/disney-world-can-creepily-track-visitors-nsa-style-with-1493082046

This to me is yet another sign of how far the place has fallen. They used to have zero tolerance for line jumping. I remember seeing CMs escort a girl (teen) to the front gate after she stayed on the tea cups for a second ride.

I know the Honey Boo Boo term is an object of derision around here, and while I'm not a fan of the show, they seem like nice people who like each other, have fun and are comfortable in their own skins (perhaps a bit too much so, but okay). I'd hang out with them over the Kardashians and other...

I'm sure everybody's seen the Gordon Ramsey-Muppets food truck fight video, which I thought was funny until I remembered 1) Disney owns Muppets and 2) Disney is bringing food trucks to WDW. SYNERGY STRIKES AGAIN.

Apparently I'm not the first WDWMagic-er to ponder sponsorship: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/epcot-pavilion-sponsors.560186

@space42-- I agree, but clearly TPTB don't agree. Plus this might mean a little creative control over the space, as @doctornick has mentioned-- I would want to see some specific parameters, including the direction of Tony B, a renewed JII ride (not the original, but something in the spirit of...

So I keep kicking around (pardon the pun) the idea of a Kickstarter (I believe others have mentioned it) to purchase the sponsorship rights for this pavilion...any idea what the fundraising goal would have to be? How much is a sponsorship these days? We know money talks in today's TWDC. This...

I think it's okay to shield kids (10 and under) from blood spatter.

I was just going to say that, if all of this is true, a lot of people in corner offices need to be fired.

Here's the thing: the transportation experience ABSOLUTELY matters. I know one anecdote isn't proof of anything, but my kids' experience this summer at WDW is somewhat instructive. They spent a few days on property and did the full experience-- resort hotel, table service dining, multiple...
