Whomever gets elected, there would be backlash from the supporters of that side if it gets closed. Yes, Disney would do better closing it before the election so they couldn’t accused of bias but either way it would be a mess.
Until CFTOD decides it needs development review.
Does Disney own Sesame Street? I didn’t even realize that!
Just my opinion, not so sure even closing early would stop the backlash, depending on who is elected.
1. What artwork promised an Epcot Fountain
They do not
Well, nobody knows that for sure. All of the water could be cut. I don’t believe that will be the case though but we won’t know for sure until it actually gets built.
Oh, I guess Len’s list was incorrect then.
It isn’t creepy all. Nor is it dated or dusty. It is patriotic and respectful to the institution and office of the Presidency and what that office and its officeholders have meant to what we are, have been and can be. When I was a kind in the 70’s, my mom and dad made it very clear that this attraction was a must see every time. My brother and I were to pay attention and sit quietly. We could have the rest of the day to enjoy whatever else we wanted but we absolutely were going to watch it. I dreaded it every time wishing we were doing something else. But over time, I started to like it and appreciate it. Eventually it became my own personal must see. We never miss it. I guess times are just different now.
I think he's sourced fairly well but the way he goes about things turns people off
You could vaguely see a couple of rectangular troughs that looked to radiate out from a central circular fountain in the original super rough overhead art, and I think there was one piece that rotated through the EPCOT Experience that had one in the background, but I think that’s a unique case in that the area was completely re-designed after the COVID pause, and nothing promised thereafter differed from the final product, functioning lights aside.
How do you think those parks became coaster heavy? Why do you think Disney has built so many recently and is building more? Coasters are what people say they want and generate the biggest response. The huge delta in visitation and revenue shows that people are actually very unreliable about what they want and the metrics they provide are not a tool that yields great themed experiences.
I have to disagree with you about DL's BTM. I actually like WDW's better. They're both immensely fun, but there's just something about WDW's that I prefer.
I always saw it that the well known IP’s were the thing to get you in the door. After that there was much more to see. Sorta like, “well if you like all of those things just wait until you see what else we can do!” Now it is just a rehash of the familiar in so many instances
Converting the Liberty Belle for food service would require a lot of work. One thought I had was that if Cars and the known section of Villains are phase 1, phase 2 could be west of the tracks, with an extension to Villains above the current river exit and something for Coco resurfacing beside Thunder Mountain below that, with a bridge connecting the two. In the transition between Tiana and Coco, you could conceivably add a Tiana restaurant with the Liberty Belle docked permanently behind it roughly where its service dock currently exists as outdoor patio seating for the restaurant. Buuut that’s just a pipe dream.
The whole rah rah America thing (especially when people like Andrew Jackson get to be up there and no one even blinks) is definitely not my thing, but the figures themselves seem...off? Like some of the historical presidents I can see being a little off, maybe...but the modern ones? Why does Obama look like that?!?!
The Jimmy Carter is terrifying. At least Lincoln looks like Lincoln at Great Moments (even if the reasons are a little creepy, hahaha). The way that the figures are lit in HOP where they all look like they have dark pits for eyes doesn't help.
The Columbia and the Canoes are both definitely not always running. I think the canoes are very seasonal, and the Columbia only runs either when the Riverboat is out of service, or on peak periods where both are running at once.
Sesame Street is owned by Sesame Workshop, formerly Children’s Television Workshop. It has never been owned by Disney or Henson.
