News New Kid Zones and Character Experiences Coming to Walt Disney World Summer 2025

If Disney needs to increase capacity… why don’t they do that instead of constantly ripping out capacity before building?

Which is likely to create more meaningful memories for more children - a dance party or Tom Sawyer Island? How is the Goofy thing superior to a Chucky Cheese?

I was referring to underutilized areas. If Tom Sawyer Island and ROA aren’t drawing people as they should, I can understand Disney not wanting to keep them.

Even though the parks have a lot of room, people have somewhat limited walking capacity. You can’t blame Disney for replacing an attraction that isn’t used much instead of having people walk around it to get to an attraction they like.

I don’t have anything against any particular attraction, but the ones that no longer resonate with guests are likely to get replaced.

Goofy’s dance/play thing is not meant to replace any major attraction. It’s just a fun, temporary addition.

Why don’t they replace attractions with the same frequency in their other, more cramped parks?

I don’t know. I assume they have a reason. Maybe because MK is the most popular with kids?

It is also more popular with adults with those kids.

And has has not had a net addition in awhile.

Also, "core memories" is an overused term, and also not something I would apply to this particular event.

Yes, well, at least my two children...and my nieces, nephews, etc.

It's completely subjective. A Tomorrowland dance party is one of the few things my youngest remembers from those early trips to Disney. All of my children (and adults with them) had a blast. It was basic but fun.

Again, different people like different things. It is not like there is one winning opinion. Why do people debate these things?

Why do the passionate “CHILDREN LOVE IT” shields only come out to defend cheap, underwhelming new offerings and not to protest the removal of beloved old attractions? A lot of the same posters defending this are arguing passionately for the destruction of Tom Sawyer IslaIsland

Why do people debate these things?

For fun?

 

[Pix E. Dust]

For fun?

I think it's more fun to share my opinion on things and listen to others opinions. I find that interesting. I don't see the fun in telling someone they are wrong because they have a different preference than you. I don't believe there is one right answer to these things.

I don't think I did that...at least not recently.

As part of CKS Pop and Art have recreation hosts hyping up the Skyliner line in the mornings. It was a nice touch, they had chalk for kids to draw with, doing quick trivia’s for sticker prizes, bubble machine, park maps etc. Nothing crazy but it’s those little surprise and delight moments that add to the overall experience.

Is this explicitly due to the event, or could it also be something recreation came up with surreptitiously?

It’s part of the event and but hopefully continues after.

I wasn't saying you did. I was responding to your post that said it was fun to argue preferences.

That is an unfortunate name...probably because I never grew up.
