I cannot tell you how silly it is for Captain Hook to be saying “help me, Mr. Smee help me..” instead of “SMEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!”

Because it’s not a book report, there are a ton of options to replace the teepee scene.

Yep @danlb_2000 spotted this last night - possibly FX lighting?
Permits 2024
The Blizzard Beach one seems promising given the company attached is Scenario Global. A quick look at their website should get any themepark nerd foaming at the mouth. https://scenario-global.com/company-profile/ How great would it be if they're doing something substantial for Blizzard Beach...forums.wdwmagic.com
The contractor is InterAmerica Stage,Inc. They do theatrical equipment, lighting, audio, rigging, curtains, etc. The permit has no expiration which indicates to me it's something small. They also recently filed a permit with the same description for 1365 Avenue of the Stars which is technically Harbor House, but we suspect it is something else with the same address. Might by Philharmagic, or it was for Pan and the new permit is just an address correction.

I hope they don’t take inspiration from the new ride in Tokyo Disneyland. By the looks of things they eschew the Indian Camp and instead head to the Uncanny Valley.

Same, and possibly less Tinker Bell as she has been deemed “potentially problematic“ by Disneys stories matter team also, “body conscious” and “jealous” for Peters attention were the reasons given to limit her use.

She’s one of the functional mascots of the company.
Oh well. Disney has a cornucopia of equally popular characters they’ve created in recent years. Why, look no further than Star from Disney’s Wish! It’s like it was engineered in a lab to be The Next Big Thing for the company.

This and Big Thunder are welcome news. All of this should have been done prior to the 50th but….pandemic.
Anything that will bring MK up to snuff like Disneyland’s 60th is a plus for me.

Boy I’ve learned a lot reading these threads the past couple of days.
- No ride should be closed when you decide to visit because it ruins the experience.
- It doesn’t matter if it’s time for overhaul it’s just fine as long as it’s open when you’re at the park.
- One attraction closing completely handicaps the entire MK.
- Minor refurbs don’t count at WDW but if the other parks do the same thing they’re applauded.

If people are allowed to complain about Halloween parties in August, I'm allowed to complain about a bunch of rides being closed when we go.
Deal with that!

I think it's pretty much fair game. Attractions do indeed have to go down for refurbishment. The problem is that TWDC has spent literal decades twiddling their thumbs regarding proper Magic Kingdom ride expansion. Crowds have grown out of control, but the capacity to hold them has utterly failed to grow with it.If people are allowed to complain about Halloween parties in August, I'm allowed to complain about a bunch of rides being closed when we go.
Deal with that!
If i'm not mistaken, Tron is the first thing they've added to MK since the early 90s that hasn't come at the expense of something else, or making up for lost capacity from a prior attraction being shut down. Unless we count the shuttering of Stitch/Alien Encounter...
One popular ride going down can indeed effectively "handicap" the park. This could have been prevented had they continued to expand MK as they did with DL. But unlike DL, I guess MK just doesn't have the "blessing of size"...
