News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Sir_Cliff]

Or if you change cable service providers. If you "buy" the movie with company A what happens when you change to company B? No thanks, Ill purchase the DVD to have in my possession. Marie

On a similar issue, my Apple devices during an update a few years ago wiped all the music I had manually uploaded from from CDs over the years and just left me with the stuff I had bought through Apple Music. The most annoying part is that I had moved across the world to the Netherlands from Australia, leaving all my CDs sitting quietly in storage on the other side of the planet. There is stuff such as the lovely Musical History of Disneyland box-set that I couldn't buy once again from Apple even if I wanted to.

So, yes, I also don't trust any of these providers to keep anything we have stored digitally available and do still buy blu-rays.

Hey, I never got a chance today to draw out the footprint based on the outlines I've seen. I'll try to get it done tomorrow - apologies.

I pay $25 for my library to be stored on the cloud - even including music I uploaded from CDs and music downloaded from sharing sites prior to the illegalization.

For if/when you get those CDs back and choose to re-upload them.

I should also add that I have an extra hard drive with a backup of everything on it...just in case. I plug in the drive and update the backup maybe two or three times a year.

Thanks for all that! I did learn a lesson and now am very assiduous with my backups, paying for cloud, google drive, etc!

No problem! I don't fully trust cloud storage yet, simply because there has been on-and-off talk about cloud storage providers claiming ownership, etc.

...since this is confirmed I just remembered something. A while back the interviews for Mary poppins returns were happening and one of the production designers let it slip that he also designed “the ride”. I vaguely remember it being an oscars video. Wonder if we can dig up that interview and watch it, possibly gleam anything from it.

I back up all my media locally to an external drive as we as in the cloud. I figure three copies of everything should do it.

Thanks for having this at the top of my alerts after having had to unexpectedly be off of the site for several days in a row. You're a gem.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

There are plans for it to come down, but prerequisite issues have not yet come into place.

There are plans for a lot of things that exists in a WDI netherworld similar to Tron...

I believe the Disney intends to remove Hellenium Village in “May”

relevant, perhaps, if it hadn't already been standing for twenty years

Here is the photo of the footprint based on the designs I have seen. Note the northwest section is not something that I understand as far as the interior (could be restrooms, could be shops, could be meet and greet). The southern section is the show building. Given the concept art at D23, if they did end up going with the double-decker carousel concept, it may be fully enclosed now... hard for me to see how the concept art jives with it being partially open.

Still keeping a tiny shred of hope it’s an actual ride.

 

[bclane]

That looks like much smaller footprint than I was hoping.

 

[britain]

Not much room there, is it? And I have zero belief that today’s WDI would know how to cram a super small dark ride like Toad or Alice into space like that.

Just accept it, they would have said ride if it was a ride. It’s just enchanted tales with Mary. The end.

Last Sunday in the Parks Pavilion at D23, I asked one of the Epcot imagineers where they were going to put the show building... and he said that several of the staff only learned about the confirmation of the MP attraction just a few days prior; that the negotiations with the Travers estate had dragged on for a long time. I'm sure WDI must have had some fairly detailed concept of what they were planning to get the Travers folks to sign on to it, but at least this guy wasn't saying that much as to the nature of the attraction, whether a dark ride, spinner or Anglo-Saxon Tales with Mary.

People still by DVD/Blue Ray?

I have 525 Disney DVD/Blu Ray/UHD movies in my collection! (+345 non Disney Classics)

Just under 20k square feet, so sufficient space for a small ride, especially if vertical space is used.

Again, room isn't the problem.
Their willingness to use it, on the other hand..

With a very simple adjustment of the backstage road, they can fit something in the scale of Pooh's Hunny Hunt from TDR
(which was also custom built in a weirdly-shaped long plot of land)

were they all seated? or was it on the red carpet?

FWIW it has consistently been described to me as “inside”
