All should be revealed

I know this is random question but do you think we can see something the size and scope of the Fantasy Springs expansion at TDS coming to WDW anytime soon ?

Many would liken Avland to that. In looks and original ambition anyway.

So if you get that feeling someone is cyber-stalking you constantly between now and Sunday, don't be alarmed, it's just ol' Blackbeard here.

My hope is some of the proposed rides make it over here in some form.

Put me in the Mary Poppins Returns was a good film camp. No, it's not the masterpiece the original was, but it was a worthy sequel. I was a little critical of the premise until someone pointed out it was generally in line with the books. I catch myself humming the tunes sometimes.

You don't have to see the movie to appreciate the land. It's an incredible land. Most folks don't walk through it saying "god I hate this land because the movie sucked!"

It's almost like some folks are bitter they actually did a good job.

Preach! For me, when all is said and done, I will probably still appreciate the aesthetics of Pandora more than SW:GE.

I agree. MPR was a fantastic film. We have watched it multiple times. And we also enjoy the soundtrack.

The popularity of a remake doesn’t even have to be tied to nostalgia. I’ve never seen the original Aladdin (although hubby says we still have a VHS copy and the kids watched it a thousand times), and yet I saw the live action version at the theatres six times this summer.

It wasn’t nostalgia pulling me back into the theatres, it was a visually stunning movie, likeable characters, great acting, catchy tunes, and mostly Will Smith’s portrayal of Genie.

I’ve since seen dozens of side by side comparisons of Robin Williams’ Genie to Will Smith’s Genie on YT, and I’ll say it again ... Robin who?

Yeesh.

Be content with your ignorance.

not sure avatar really generated that much emotion either way, but yeah

The plot and characters didn't create an emotional response, but the visuals of Pandora in the film sure did.

To each their own.

I also saw TLJ five times in the theatre, and dozens of times at home. Best movie in the franchise.

Is this post really necessary just because they don’t agree with you ?

as m:b wonderfully distills its source, so does nrj
... fop less so, but in a far more exhilarating way

just because you'd camp out for an adam driver/will smith buddy movie doesn't mean everyone else would

I watched MPR for the first time this past week on a flight; terrible idea, I ended up crying during one of the songs, which caused the lady sitting next to me to ask if I was okay.
I personally loved it. The original will always be superior to me, but I thought it was well-done sequel and faithful to both the source material and the Disney version.

Of course it isn’t.

I can't cosign your Aladdin opinion, but I'm with you on The Last Jedi. It's great!

It's a children's chimney playground filled with soot and CMs with bad Cockney accents.
