I agree I think MK will get ride plus for the 50 and continue rehab work on every bit of the park. I hope they get a new ride but think the plus up is going to be the extent unless they give us surprise.My guess (and that is all it is) is the MK might get an attraction for the 50th and maybe a parade. Plus lots of paint and landscaping. The other parks will see the bulk of investment as they really need to address the crowd imbalances.
IMO.
They're going to plant a tree for nostalgia.If we are looking at most of the $3B going to DHS overhaul an infrastructure. A smaller portion to Epcot for a possible pavilion refurb or two. I wonder what percentage of that is left for MK. Are we talking ride refurb money (a spruce up before the 50th)? New firework and night parade money? Or enough funds for an actual new attraction?
Yeah, I'd like to think the "some" part that is accurate is when the article refers to an Indiana Jones ride coming to DHSI'm hoping that the 'some' part does not include the shuttering of Muppets.
Hmmm. I was hoping that we might see a first step -- a quick Toy Story Playland addition -- built by the end of 2016 to coincide with the opening of the increased capacity of TSMM. No chance of something like that?I agree that there will be nothing new a year from now.
The budget is spread over a five year build-out.
Patience will be required.

We have over 3x the market as you- we surrender!What theme park wars - Disney has already surrendered.
I think you're being a little ambitious with your thinking.I agree I think MK will get ride plus for the 50 and continue rehab work on every bit of the park. I hope they get a new ride but think the plus up is going to be the extent unless they give us surprise.
Epcot gets three is my feeling all redos but needed bad!
Exciting times.
I disagree. It is SO quick to build- you're talking 6 months. And it adds much needed ride capacity immediately. They need ride capacity now and that's the quickest way to get it. I think they'd be dumb to do anything differently first with their construction pace. If they put shovels in the ground now they could open it with TSMM's new track in a year.I think if the first thing to open is a playground heads will explode.
Five years before this is finished means between now and when "Extreme Makeover DHS Edition" finishes we will see at least 5 price increases.I agree that there will be nothing new a year from now.

Five price increases, but also five raises and a promotion at work. Prices go up but so do salaries.Five years before this is finished means between now and when "Extreme Makeover DHS Edition" finishes we will see at least 5 price increases.
While the changes might be glorious, the parks may become unaffordable![]()
Would they make Ellen's a shorter, quicker ride rather than an attraction that takes 45 minutes? Most people get antsy and that's why it's basically a walk on ride. Love what I'm hearing about DHS but EPCOT has so much potential.Five years before this is finished means between now and when "Extreme Makeover DHS Edition" finishes we will see at least 5 price increases.

I'd be sad to see the muppets go. To bad they didn't have room for a ride for that franchise with ABC bringing it back to network TV.That's interesting. I've no specifics on Muppets but I'll listen out.
They come out to play on Wednesday's now too!You can often spot them outside House of Blues on a Sunday night.
I'm sure @ParentsOf4 has a graph somewhere comparing price increases in the swamps vs. standard inflation/spending power of the public.Five price increases, but also five raises and a promotion at work. Prices go up but so do salaries.

Apparently it only took 3+ billion dollars to bring the two of you together...This is a sad day.
I agree with you.
parking garage... where (as in, which park or parks)?Yep.
The number includes parking garages, infrastructure changes/upgrades, etc.
DHS. Maybe.parking garage... where (as in, which park or parks)?
CuriousI don't know if this is anything, but I'm at my 180+10 (January 9) and there's dining availability everywhere except Mama Melrose.
