News Walt Disney World casting for performers to play Asha from the upcoming animated musical 'Wish'

Such a weird choice to put this in Epcot.

One more reason to go to EPCOT I guess.

Mary Poppins is no longer meeting at Epcot

Mary out. Pooh in.

This is budgeted with the movie’s release. If she stays, it will need to be budgeted differently and we know how long that takes WDW.

Is this expected to do well in theaters?

Disney has lost money on almost every release in the last 2 years so I bet they are REALLY hoping it does well.

The premise to me seems kind of dumb where the "villain" understands you can't grant everyone's wishes because it would destroy society, but this girl fights him so that everyone's wishes can be granted. Seems like the wrong message to send to kids that everyone should get what they want all the time without working for it... but we will see.

Horrific isn't it?

I'm sure they won't replace Morocco with a Wish pavilion.

No, Pooh was already in the park, he just moved from Imagination lawn to UK.

Same goes with that "other" film..

Those poignant/vaguely menacing pandemic Pooh meet-and-greets will be forever in our hearts!

If they did this then they would have to repaint ToT to match the skyline and lord forbid the fans would go ape spit because of it...

Or, if the film is big enough, there's no reason it can't be in two parks! I'm sure they'd rather use their own IP than pay CBS for the Twilight Zone...

Why can’t Mary collect butterflies?

Why can’t Mary collect butterflies?

A respectable lady like her?!?

Wish isn't set in Morocco, but a mixture of Mediterranian locations. Maybe we'll see street petformers, food stands, etc.

Frozen is set in Norway, albeit in a fictional Norwegian petty kingdom because it is a fairy tale. Geography, clothing, etc. are still the same. I still remember a thread where a Scandinavian lady mentioned that the ride was so Norwegian that it helped with homesickness.
