Fair enough, I was just thinking of rides.
I assume tiana's issues will get resolved eventually, though it shouldn't have had so many technological issues to begin with

The presser for this mentions the villains land placement. It also seems to imply it is also starting prep next year.
But he was very intentional with his words, clearly. Even this whole thread debacle was very intentioned. I think he would have clarified if somehow Villains land was the exception. Particularly since he said that essentially during the end of its segment.
Coco seems to be the furthest out from starting, for sure. That seems like the one piece of the presentation that could have been dropped.
One person’s “overreaction” is another person’s natural reaction. It’s offensive to tell someone their emotion is an overreaction.
What is your favorite WDW ride? What’s your favorite themed-land? What’s your favorite area of the Magic Kingdom? I’m sure you’d be upset too if you read it was being destroyed. Just because YOU had no great affinity for this particular area of WDW doesn’t mean others did not.
We’re all here because we’re fans, no? Maybe even “super fans”

I’m gonna leave this here as this is a nice perspective…
Walt Disney World will trade its rivers for more mountains
Disney Parks confirmed today that the new Cars attractions in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom will be replacing Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America, as expected. Let's dive into what that means.

I’ve never been prouder of selling a stock. I mean I was sad because it’s something I thought I’d give to my kids, but I just couldn’t be a shareholder anymore with the direction they were going.Wish I would have sold mine during the pandemic …
I agree. But that doesn’t mean you destroy a huge part of the theming and place-making of MK to get it. “The blessing of size” and all.

Well, lets just hope they keep trying to make a movie for The Haunted Mansion that works and that they're able to somehow tie a current IP to Space Mountain, then.

I’ll be sure to come back to this post in 10 years.

Actually it is. There's no where to move the queue to, unless you have an idea for teleportation.

not even counting the destruction of all things hotel-related too. Man, I am afraid they are cooked.

If you're building on top of all the land to the immediate west and north of the attraction, there is plenty of room to place a revised queue.

I don't know when you go or what you mean by Japan is empty. Morocco can be empty in the evening right when and after the fireworks.

Why are you so bothered about people caring about something? That's weird to me. Especially when this type of reaction is to be expected on a forum like this.
Also, why do you think this will help with capacity issues? It won't. More square footage means Disney will increase park max capacity and squeeze more people in. It will still be crowded.

After sorting through the 60+ pages from today and having had time to digest it, I think I agree with @lentesta
This is incredibly bold, and I'm cautiously optimistic that this regime more than any other realizes the importance of needing to deliver if they're going to do something like this. The concept art does look beautiful, the ride looks ambitious, and they're clearly trying to maintain some sort of thematic integrity. It could have been way worse.
I truly do understand how important the scenery and placemaking is. But let's all be perfectly honest, most of the time that walkway along the water is almost completely unusable for breathing in the scenery. The Florida weather just doesn't allow for it, and will only continue to get worse. Every single trip we find ourselves sprinting in and out of air conditioned frontier land buildings in a mad dash across the expanse to get to Splash/BTM. 8-9 months of the year, absolutely nobody is taking a leisurely stroll along the ROA. I'm sorry, but that is objectively a fact. And I won't even mention how the sulfur makes the whole area constantly smell bad.
We still have the original in Walt's original park, where it was perfect and probably shouldn't have been replicated. But it did, and it had an incredible 50+ year run. And as someone who constantly decries the homogenization of the parks around the world, I don't think I can complain when they're attempting to course correct.
Obviously they still have a lot to deliver. But I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic, mostly because of this regime.
(Now - if they announce Muppet Vision is closing, I will be joining you guys on the front lines come hell or high water)

Just ran through the permits, and I'm not in construction but I can read plans.
They are building a series of new canals for water control. You can look at the second page. It consists of excavation equipment, gravel, pipe, cement, earthworks etc. All the laydown areas are mostly for all the equipment and materials to do all of this.
