50 MAGICal Enhancements for the 50th ...

[MisterPenguin]

Anytime.....

So are we serious about this gondala nonsense?

Got about 5 insiders saying absolutely. Got the permits filed. Work on the BoardWalk Inn turning station has started.

 

[Kman101]

Yep, we're getting gondolas. And the Rat in France. And Mickey replacing the GMR. And a Tomorrowland makeover at somepoint ... and a Future World makeover ...

Airtight, shocked it didn't show up here until the permits dropped

 

[yeti]

Oh lord, By then that would make the 07 Version the longest running version of Spaceship Earth yet. That's just sad.

Thank the Phoenicians.

Yeah dave! Non air conditioned boxes, hanging in the Florida sun. What could be better? Or I should say. What could be better for charging obscene money for a gussied up motel 6?

 

[Kman101]

lol. Then don't use them?

If you believe everyone here, there won't be buses any longer.

You could drive.

Or take a bus somewhere else and then a bus or boat from there

Now that deserves an LOL.

I don't intend to spend $200/night for a Motel 6 then have to rent a car on top of that. Or take a bunch of extra time getting where I need to go.

So how is the Skipper Canteen? I hardly hear anything about it. We had reservations there but ate at BOG for breakfast and wasn't hungry.

Food is really good not your typical park fare so be prepared for different items. That is the reason it is struggling but this is one of the best additions for a restaurant in a long time. Tiffins is another great addition but sadly the masses are not getting either.

 

[Kman101]

I'm not convinced busses are 100% going away. I'm sure they'd love nothing more. I think it's to cut down on them for sure and I think the express bus service is a test for the future.

 

[NormC]

If you believe everyone here, there won't be buses any longer.

Not true.

 

[drizgirl]

Not true.

Yeah, I'm not buying it either. But I'll be back to point that out when the gondolas open ....... and there is still bus service.

Just ugh for the proliferation of bars at WDW. I like a quality adult beverage once and a while like a good craft IPA or Porter. But the overpriced weak drinks cheapen the WDW experience

I agree it is reaking of cheap tourist trap stuff....something Disney should try very hard to stay away from.

 

[matt9112]

LOL... Seems to be a little worse during F&W but I have never noticed it to be the problem people are always breathlessly reporting on here.
and Disney staff are always around if things get out of hand.I think the "Drunkytown" is WAY over stated.

True granted IMHO it's a problem when epcot is a destination for many simply to drink....that is a problem....the park is failing as a park...worlds largest outdoor bar? Flying colors.

 

[matt9112]

Sort of off topic but it could be an enhancement....

I really want those spires back on the fountain in front of spaceship earth....

Please...its relatively cheap and easy appeasement.

OoO those were vey nice ascetically. Honestly I would love tot use the Epcot legacy logo's used more frequently.

 

[culturenthrills]

Man...Can you imagine if they did this commercial with "50 New reasons to visit Disney World"....

Omg, I remember this commercial

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

I still want to see a Color transition on Spaceship Earth like they do with Cindy's Castle and usage of a projection system on it as well including the WS Pavilions during Illuminations or if they take it to a different show all together...

I'm not saying you should do those things. I'm just saying if you don't want to ride the gondola those are your options.
