He’s the CEO. It isn’t a huge project. If he says he wants it built, it will be built. I’m just surprised he cares so much about (or is even aware of) this little project.

I don’t really think that’s true. Just my opinion, though.

I trust ONLY the shovels…and that doesn’t lead me astray.
Taking out two grand Floridian lodges to reduce the rooms, drive up price and sell timeshares?
Ok…I believed that one from the start. Got me there

Hmmmm . . . unicorns on the moon would make a nice attraction to straddle the boundaries of Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Unfortunately, the unicorns would all die because budget cuts would force the Imagineers to scrap plans for space helmets that fit the unicorns' heads.

"refunding the Mary Poppins ride in the future" is this Chepek code for reasons to raise prices again?

It's not a price rise, it's a Mary Poppins levy!

Sounds like someone is trying to take the heat off what they have been saying or not saying about what's going on in Florida currently... Let me change the news cycle! lol
I can see them "finding the funds" for the facade and an Enchanted Tales with Mary deal.

What type of attraction was speculated for this space, something involving the bowl/Royal Doulton Music Hall scene?

Hoping this happens was happy to hear this mentioned on today’s call as well as the quinjet attraction.
Yes. The porcelain scenes. Sadly I'm picturing a slower moving carnival Scrambler rotating toward screens based on description hints. But I'd prefer something like this. https://falconscreativegroup.com/products/circumotion-theater/ Don't think a definitive ride system has been rumored yet. It's not Baxter's Jolly Holiday but I'll take anything over another Mad Tea Party.

A ride that mimics the part of the movie where carousel horses detach and race would be fun IMO. It's something I always thought as a kid would be awesome to do. Okay as an adult too.

I appreciate the idea of smaller project plussing the pavilion. Too many times crowds form in specific countries, while others are a complete ghost town. The more things to check out in different pavilions will only help elevate crowds in other countries. Even if Mary poppin’s isn’t my bag, always exciting to hear more is being added.

Sure sounds like: “no way in hell” to me
Right…overflow stand by queue for the lightning lane line on impressions de France

He’s also Bob chapek…
Have you noticed everything has been reduction at higher price since Bob slapped staggs on the can at the door? (And before…but not as much)
He’s a crap peddler…
Ill admit I don’t follow everything…I had ZERO idea of just how dependent Europe was on Russian petrol until last week…it’s “bad” by the way…
But I got Bob chapek.
And please let’s skip the “he can’t lie to the stockholders”…he can say anything he wants and have a million outs. And the traders already knew anyway…

I didn’t think the word “refund” was even in his vocabulary.
He might have just said that to sound smart, not really understanding what it means (in any sense).

Yeah, it’s amazing how gullible people can be. A statement that says he’s looking “forward to refunding the Mary Poppins ride in the future” Is basically saying something might happen sometime between now and hell freezing over.
There is a vast ocean of difference in the English language between looking forward to something and saying you will be doing something.
It was an intentional weasel answer meant to deflect that it was unceremoniously canceled to people who don't want to hear it was canceled.
People are somehow finding a way to take his statement which amounts to a soft way of saying "no plans to move forward with this" as good news, though.
Meanwhile, how did Florida parks do on revenue last quarter?
I’m not saying it’ll never happen… but then again, neither did Bob… and isn’t that the point?
