[fgmnt]

That was a guess. I don’t think they’ve decided.

this is probably a worthy disclaimer on every post in this and the other thread

Gotta cash in on the Breath of the Wild bucks before Universal.

And now Tears of the Kingdom

Universal must be so pleased with themselves securing that deal. IoA announcement soon please.

I added on to say my husband and son are Puerto Rican. I forgot to say that before which is why it hit me poorly. Having people effectively gaslight you (but they're almost the same over and over when not) repeatedly and trying to make connections when it's insensitive at best is tiresome.

Hopefully you understand why. Cultures are vastly different. Regions from US SW are very different from central Meixco. We're talking like 700+ miles apart. It's like saying Chicago and NY are the same because they both serve pizza.

I just wish people would stop making a connection simply due to languages. If one ever heard a Mexican speak vs a Colombian you'd hear differences. My own Spanish is so vastly different than my husband's Puerto Rican version that we cannot even agree on how to speak in front of our kid.

How different are Chicago and New York, when it comes down to it?

Coco doesnt belong in epcot. If you are talking about replacing gran fiesta. Theres no room. Unless you make the queue go behind the building and build onto epcot behind the pyramid. The current area and queue structure wouldnt handle it. Gran fiesta is perfect for what little space there is.

I'm glad Coco isn't going there just because I love the Three Caballeros that much LMAO

I’m glad it isn’t going there because the ensuing line would ruin the remainder of one of my favorite pavilions.

Not very, besides pizza (way too much tomato in Chicago haha).

I get her point. If we made "Englishland" and had USA mini land, Scotland mini land, England mini land, Australia mini land, Canada mini land and a South African Land, we might think that was a lot of different cutltures/histories being lumped together based on a shared predominant use of the English language.

I still think Disney can utilize transitions in a way to differentiate Frontierland, Coco and Encanto so that they are clearly distinct and yet merged in an appropriate way.

New England -> Louisana -> Southwestern US -> Mexico -> Central America (food kiosk, jk) -> Colombia -> Venezuela (UP!)

I continue to wonder why everyone assumes IF this is ever done that the three would be connected to Frontierland. It will be a transition, will it be clear cut... who knows, but I am pretty sure it won't be any more shocking than going from tomorrow land to fantasy land.

I would add if there is a connector to fantasy land then the whole point is moot anyway

I think Encanto to Fantasyland is pretty easy, since it's very magic-oriented. The house is alive.

They and I would be more pleased if they actually started converting Lost Continent into Hyrule…

Regardless is this happens or not, why continue to add to the one park that doesn't need more attractions? Epcot, DHS and AK need more to draw people to those parks.

I thought there was a crowding issue at MK? More rides and more lands = more spread out.

MK desperately needs capacity. It sees the most guests and needs more space for them.

 

[Jrb1979]

MK desperately needs capacity. It sees the most guests and needs more space for them.

The other parks need capacity too to draw people to those parks. IMO they could easily add a lot of capacity to all the parks if they focused on C- ticket rides. More Little Mermaid and less Rise.

 

[montyz81]

I have to say, every time I read “Beyond Big Thunder Mountain” I think of the Western River Expedition, not Encamto or Coco

It never draws them away from MK. No one cuts MK out of their trip. So it needs to grow. They also keep adding to the other castle parks (except DLP…) for this reason.

If that's the case they should have adding new attractions yearly like most other parks do.

They draw people to the other parks by limiting reservations at MK, which pushes people to EPCOT, etc. Apparently, even with that, normal ticket sales at MK leads to overcrowding. So, you need to disperse them more evenly. Reduce the Peter Pan line by sending them behind BTMRR to Encanto, etc.

Here's a random Monday. Only MK is sold out. Besides being my dog's birthday, I don't know why 9/26 is so popular.

 

[MadderAdder]

Because 9/26 is a non MNSSHP date… I guess? Both 25 & 27 are party dates and less people make it their full day.
