I went last in 2017, and sure, I was only 7 so I don't remember all too much, but based on photos and what of it I can remember, other than Illuminations and FoN going away, it's been entirely positive IMO. I hated the concrete and barely-any-shade aesthetic, and I (again, going off photos and videos) like this much, much more. I think the plants are beautiful, even if the center planter does look a bit like... the female body... but the plants are gorgeous; the points of light are stunning; the France expansion is wonderfully themed and entirely positive; GotG is a wonderful coaster and excellently themed despite the giant show building; Space 220 alone is worth the price of going back from what I've seen; the new entry plaza finally looks like a theme park, not a graveyard; Walt statues are always a plus, even though it looks like he's on the toilet; Journey of Water is gorgeous; and the concept art for the new Test Track looks much better than what we have now.

I'm sorry, but are we just not going to discuss the concept art for the singalong thing? Why did they make the show look so unpopular? Legitimately only like 15 people in the crowd, and most of them seem to be unaccompanied minors.

Yes, it makes the show look very... minor.

Disney's concept art in recent years has been all over the place. You get stuff like the Tropical Americas overview of DAK that whets the appetite for future additions like classic Disney concept art, then you get pieces like this that look like Encanto day at a local Kindergarten.

Disney concept art, especially for the Blogs, has always been awful. Laughably so at time.

But what do I know, I'm the Disney Defender.
