I think the rumor a lot of people kick around is that Frontierland is “moving” with Big Thunder being the only remaining space of “old” Frontierland. Still not sure I buy it but the posters do not give a good feel of it sticking around the way it is.
As long as it still exists, I guess? But then what of the Country Bears, where do they go? They're very distinctly country western, it's not like they'd fit in New Orleans Square- and why does WDW need a NOS? That's Disneyland's exclusive land, much like Liberty Square is ours. Ugh, I hate the California-cation of WDW...
But I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers!
Keep in mind Tiana’s at Disneyland will not be in NOS, it will be in Critter Country. Where their bears used to be. Curious.
ooooooooooh shoot! Critter Country could be fun, especially if they retheme everything from Bears to Pecos Bill's to be CBJ themed. Bring back the Mile Long Bar and refurbish the exit of CBJ to have the dressing room doors from DL/TDL and I'm sold
For a Critter Country to exist in MK there would need to be more critters. CBJ and TBA doesn't quite cover it. Any other IPs they could stick here?
There is a character vault (a warehouse) supposedly in Melbourne, but I don't know 100% what the criteria is to put a costume there versus in storage on property. Probably the level of potential use.
I'm pretty sure there's a height range difference this costume and the one in Tokyo though? So while OLC might take it for reference, I don't think it would be used in a meet and greet?
remember when they tried to make Duffy a thing at Epcot? That was short lived. Then I think they realized the big purple elephant that was in the room that they could merchandise, and American audiences already liked. I’d be down for a second shot for Duffy in America tho.
I mean, it's two IPs, which is exactly how many DL's Critter Country has, unless you count the CBJ references as a third IP. I guess you could try to do something with Bambi? Robin Hood? Rescuers? Fox and the Hound?
There is only Fantasyland North, South, East, and West.
Tell me, what princesses appear in Adventureland, Tomorrowland, and Liberty Square? Aladdin’s Carpets don’t count as Jasmine.
Fantasyland is more than princesses - Aladdin, Buzz Lightyear, and the Muppets have been put in Adventureland, Tomorrowland, and Liberty Square.
Adventureland also has had pirates, talking birds, and anthropomorphic animals for decades. Tomorrowland has had aliens, spacemen, and robots much longer than Toy Story has been around. I’ll give you Liberty Square, but the Muppets are long gone and LS already has had fantasy ghosts since day 1. Also how can you hate the Muppets?
New Acts! Less Character!
And having such sadly low expectations for a once great company is simply embarrassing.
I don’t have low expectations, I just know how to have fun. My expectations for Tiana’s and CBMJ were extremely low and they turned out better than I expected. My expectations for the company as a whole are still very, very low, but I’m not a miserable grump and if something is fun I will enjoy it and not belittle others if they don’t have the same opinion as me.
Hey, if jingling keys make you giggle, that’s great. Enjoy.
Duffy could still be a thing if Disney knew how to market him to people outside of Asia...
So your argument is that IP in the lands that are not Fantasyland is bad?
