Thank you for filling in the blanks for us! Im not a huge chapek fan not going to lie, if a silver lining is we get someone like Jeff in that role that actually cares about the cast and the parks im cool with it. I'm sad about no JII as I'm a huge Disney fan, however the current version is better than no parks at all... We go next month. I'm curious what the crowd levels will be... I want to be able to get as much money back to them as I can ! I'm sure it's cost them a bunch to move all of us to other resorts too? @WDW Pro could we see them not open some of the resorts they have announced openings for to conserve more.money? I guess I picked an awful good time to finally be interested in DVC...

Interesting, because he doesn’t talk like it.
Anything is possible due to COVID, but I have no reason to believe closing open resorts is more likely.
The only thing DL has on WDW is the America Sings AA. WDW has a better capacity, is a longer ride, tells its story better, has more major drops, doesn’t get you soaked (limiting my laps on the DL version,) and lastly the bluegrass instrumental Zip a Dee Doo Dah arrangement played at the bottom of WDW’s drop is my favorite piece of BGM in any park.

Oh, about the Splash thing. It did feel rushed. I kinda don't buy how one hand doesn't talk to the other about these things before an announcement but after I remember how badly things are run at times and how announcements get pulled and added all the time ... I shouldn't be shocked.
It does make sense to do it in Disneyland because it's basically attached to New Orleans Square. It would work a heck of a lot better thematically. However WDW's Splash is like an island unto itself and it's always been out of place, technically, in Frontierland. I guess "Critters" equals the Frontier.
My guess is WDW would need to re-theme parts or all of Frontierland. And they'd likely dock the Riverboat and do something on TSI. But they can't spend that kind of money now, or anytime soon so they're sort of stuck. I can see why/how Disneyland gets the overlay. Honestly, I wouldn't hate a Frontierland overhaul in WDW (ducks and hides). I mean, Frontierland has 'been on the table' for a while (Tomorrowland overruled it this time)

I was thinking if you look at August for example they announced POP and Poly. Could they just cut that? Since they are already closed? I mean they have to move all the people from POP somewhere else but... We got lucky and got moved to a DVC resort, and I know they can't do that for all but makes you wonder.

Incorrect. Splash at Disneyland is superior in many ways to the slower Disney World Version but let's stay on topic here. This is not the thread for this. If you wish to PM me, we can discuss it there.
The banjo instrumental is perfect.

So they’re never gonna get Tokyo onboard with Splash?

I’m curious if they’d do it if the ride was a complete success in the domestic parks.

The deeper issue, at least to me, is the ride is clearly an icon. ( Thank you Tony Baxter) Tony may be involved, but Disney doesn't have the cash or want to spend it at least to bring it to classic Splash Tony Baxter worthy level... That sounds to be horrifying this pack of imagineers...

I'm a giant Toby Baxter fan. he's an icon in himself, and his works speak for themselves.... Splash is a big part of that. All of us still are miffed about JII including Tony Himself...

Tony had a great team behind him on the DL version of SM including Bruce Gordon and John Stone.
