Bob Iger at WDW now ... BoD to Follow?

[Cesar R M]

Personally, I'll just park-hop to AK for the evenings where I want to see RoL. But, I've never been one to stay in a single theme park for the entire day. I get tired of seeing the same sweaty, fat, smelly people and crave a new group of the same breed.

dont bring a mirror with you .. OH SNAP!! just joking lol

Avatar and Rivers of Light will both be good things for DAK, but the other side of the park needs something else substantial as well. The easy thing would be to add substance to Dinorama or Asia, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

I suspect they will pitch the nighttime Safari as a separate experience and attempt to get people to ride the attraction twice per day. When you factor in wait and ride time you're looking at an hour each time.

I still wonder how they will make the other shows work?
will they expand the hours of Nemo and FOTLK? will they just close down as they open the night-time shows?

 

[Cesar R M]

I think the problem is that most people see the Magic Kingdom as the


Better that than Avatar.

seems your comment was cut off. Can you fix it?

The park opened with a Jungle Book show. I understand the point you're trying to make but there was never a point when the park was free from intellectual properties. Sorry, you're wrong.

I know that show, but I still think that cartoon-based rides belong in MK - JMHO.

Jungle Book, Tarzan, and Pocahontas could all use some type of home/attraction in AK. So many underused properties they ignore, but with wdw it has to be in the moment or forget it.

All of those once had a show. I would add potentially Bambi to that list as well.

I can't imagine RoL being TOO late, right? 7:00 or 8:00 depending on the season is what I pictured. Could be a good opportunity for some table service dining.

They're going to want it to be dark in the summer when the sun sets later. Being later would also reduce the opportunity to still jump to another park.

Oops, thanks, I fixed it.

I wonder if it's because of Iger's apparent lack of faith in the Disney classics.

Yeah, I mean, it's not like they built rides based on Little Mermaid or Snow White or an intimate show and huge restaurant based on Beauty and the Beast recently or anything............

Shh! You'll ruin the narrative that WDW doesn't care about something unless it's new or something they bought!

I think this is more to do with refreshing the classics and putting them front and center for the international markets where they aren't classics. Primarily Brazil, Russia, India and China.

They wouldn't have to worry so much about that if they got back onto doing theatrical re-releases the way they used to.

I dont know Brazil,but I know that a lot of latin american countries got bombarded by Disney as well.
Not just the USA or Europe.

I have honestly enjoyed all of the live action and probably like Cinderella more than the animated version...JMHO

Not necessarily re-release but the theater in the next town over does have Classic Disney marathons every few months!

Hey! Is this current? If so, where?

This is through Cinemark theaters and yes it is current! We are so pumped and don't know what to see! The good part about this is that the one $5 price is good for you to see all 4 movies that day if you really wanted to!!! So many good movies to choose from idk where to even start! And the upcoming titles for the future dates listed on there are epic as well!!! Not sure if all locations do this? This is in Racine, WI. They do it every couple of months!

Lol, I remembered you lived in the same town as me. I wasn't sure which town over you were talking about, because I didn't think Kenosha had this.
But yes, I'm loving those titles and will have to take my little (ish) one.
Thank you
