Removing one of the few culturally appropriate scenes of native Americans and not replacing it would be pretty icky….potentially replacing the Native American Village which is likely next for the chopping block

Exactly why I wouldn't put it past them.Removing one of the few culturally appropriate scenes of native Americans and not replacing it would be pretty icky….
On the whole I prefer WDW to Disneyland, but Disneyland itself is slightly better than Magic Kingdom simply because it has more attractions. But there are definitely things Magic Kingdom does better than Disneyland. MK for instance has the superior castle. I was quite disappointed when I went to Disneyland and found out how small Sleeping Beauty's castle was!I have no idea whether that’s true or not. What I do know is that certain things are better over in Florida, which to me belies the notion that one resort is indisputably superior to the other.
My first few trips to Disneyland it took some getting used to. Not the castle specifically - everything is smaller! The train station, the trains, the Main Street buildings, the monorail, the splash mountain logs….I was quite disappointed when I went to Disneyland and found out how small Sleeping Beauty's castle was!
Well kind of. They were kind of boxed in given the geographical focus of the other lands in the park.They are going in that direction at DAK - I wouldn’t say it’s done.
Not at all - nothing keeping them from building “Encanto Adventure Land”Well kind of. They were kind of boxed in given the geographical focus of the other lands in the park.
I'm thinking it's more because of its location. If villains is going to the North or Cars, there is a chance the encampment could stay, but it would need to be out of view from the villains land. If villains starts north of Cars and goes beyond the train tracks, the encampment would literally be in the way. Hopefully there would be a way to preserve it or move it to another location (Before Tiana's?), especially as it is one of few scenes you can see from the train, but it might be removed just because it's in the way of villainsRemoving one of the few culturally appropriate scenes of native Americans and not replacing it would be pretty icky….
Every time I walk down Main Street in MK I’m struck by how much more traffic and use the shops on the left (while walking towards the castle) get compared to what’s on the right. I think WDI needs to be bold - they need to more efficiently utilize that underperforming space! Raze those buildings on the right and build something people will use. Sure it’ll throw off the look and feel of Main Street proper, but this is the world’s most attended theme park and tens of thousands of people are walking by this area each day doing nothing with it.Replacing the river does lead to new attractions. It keeps them from having to use more expansion space in the back of the park. So instead of a river and island few people want to experience we get a Cars area and some time in the future something else will go in the unused space that wasn’t used during this expansion.
I think they at least wanted to adhere to some sort of geographic naming convention / organizational theme to do. Of course , that’s why we’re getting this mishmash of IP that sets within this states region.Not at all - nothing keeping them from building “Encanto Adventure Land”
I mention a bit of the Disneylandification of the Haunted Mansion in this article.It's not just the executives, it's also the creative talent that grew up with Disneyland, much like the 2nd generation of WDI
That's why The Magic Kingdom is constantly tinkered with to be more like Disneyland, instead of respecting what WED did differently when designing and building it.
The right side of the street is high dollar goods once you get past the confectionery and left is mass market stuffEvery time I walk down Main Street in MK I’m struck by how much more traffic and use the shops on the left (while walking towards the castle) get compared to what’s on the right.

I'm confused now because I thought they said a retheme to Frontierland. If they said expansion of frontierland then that says to them that ROA, TSI never was related or to do with Frontierland...And FWIW, they’re saying Cars will be an expansion of Frontierland, and not its own actual mini-land
"nothing" keeping them from calling it "Iger's baby" either... but there would still be other reasons sticking with the convention used everywhere else in the park is a powerful reason to stick with that in DAK.. and still a meaningful difference of how DAK is not the same as the other parks.Not at all - nothing keeping them from building “Encanto Adventure Land”
Oh I’m not complaining! I’m pleasantly surprised. I’m hoping for capybaras too!"nothing" keeping them from calling it "Iger's baby" either... but there would still be other reasons sticking with the convention used everywhere else in the park is a powerful reason to stick with that in DAK.. and still a meaningful difference of how DAK is not the same as the other parks.
