Just when I thought the names couldn’t get worse.
There was the kerfuffle over this ride’s predecessor. Walt Disney Imagineering wanted Toy Story Midway Mania! and built the marquee but marketing only ever referred to it as Toy Story Mania!.
Here's the sign for the ride in DHS...

But the toys aren't playing Toy Story Mania, they're playing the Midway Games Play Set (with a fourth wall breaking "TOY Story" branding on it).

I don’t remember if it’s been announced or not already, but on the Imagineering Instagram account they posted about the Quinjet arrival and gave us the name of the Spider-Man attraction...

You’re at the Worldwide Engineering Brigade (WEB).Wouldn't the 'immersion' require the building be named something authentic to the land's theme? Like "Avengers Spidertech lab" or something?
It was officially announced as the name back on March 11th with the blitz of Avengers Campus news... before... you know... the pandemic hit and changed EVERYTHING!

It's so sad, since the name obviously had two requirements- it had to explain what you do in the ride, and it had to have the name 'Spider Man' in it.
Makes me feel like if Splash Mountain had opened today it'd be called Splash Logs: A Brer Rabbit tale

Pardon, but is it? I was looking around and couldn't find anything saying this.Being that it’s supposed to be this meta land actually set in DCA
I was gonna make a joke about scrapped plans for a Swingers Club, but this is a family site...I was hoping for an evening dance party called "Swingin' with Spidey"... but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Darn it.
Yeah, was trying to avoid that kind of swinging joke.I was gonna make a joke about scrapped plans for a Swingers Club, but this is a family site...
There's some weird story "placement" with this land, where in addition to the land acknowledging it exists in DCA, it also acknowledges that Stark Expo was held in DCA prior to its conversion to Avengers Campus.Pardon, but is it? I was looking around and couldn't find anything saying this.
EDIT: On second thought, I'd rather not have this groaner of a notion confirmed
The funny part is - Disney has a lot of swing bands that perform around the resort - not just at the Saturday night Fantasyland swing ball, but in DTD at the ESPN stage, at the Jazz Kitchen, at Paradise Pier for festivals, etc. Not to mention the current 5 & Dime and dearly missed Silver Lake Sisters and Minnie's Fly Girls.Yeah, was trying to avoid that kind of swinging joke.
