Wow you got wine there too? Should we start a gofundme for that check? Best wishes my friend

Interesting if all of these last minute changes are not true and are just to see where the leaks are that need plugged up????

Why does that not surprise me? Apparently in 2019 and 2022, there have been announcements pulled literally within an hour of the panel.

…you need Loan for that?

How about a mai tai from next door?

They got smart and stopped serving the best parts of ‘Ohana at the bar and it made me sad. I used to go for a cocktail, wings, potstickers, and bread pudding and felt like a king.

I’ve been very unproductive today. Anxious to hear the news.

On the positive side I got my 7 mile run in for Dopey training.

Great job! Good luck with Dopey.

I left to bury my sorrows in peel and eat shrimp at Ohana.

Me: $62 seems like a lot for what you get...

Also me: **** it, I can definitely eat $62 worth of peel and eat shrimp.

I think if they're really gonna put a clone of Cars in MK 15+ years after the original opened, 20+ years after the movie debuted, and around 30+ years after you debuted the ride system down the street, you can just write off that park forever. I have so many fond memories in my life going there but they clearly have no idea what to do anymore and zero confidence in The Florida Project to be anything other than an ATM.

My goodness….

For a community that follows Disney’s every move, you all sound so dramatic over here. It’s a rumor that might not even be announced. There’s no reason to get all heated because it’s something you don’t like it. Not everything has to be made for you. You can have your opinion, but millions of people visit MK alone each year. You can’t “write the park off” just because you don’t like it. Just chill out please.

Just put on Spectomagic for the kids.

I hear they may change their mind on Olivia Rodrigo’s Runaway Railway and pull that out of tonight’s announcements.

What is our collective “last straw” that will inevitably not be our last straw? Time might prove that comedic.

I just hope they paint the castle back to the original color. Is that too much to ask. Nevermind I know the answer

Don't mention the castle or we might get a birthday cake announcement for DL's 70th.

If the attention they gave to WDW’s 50th was any indication, I wouldn’t worry about it

Mine was the Epcot refurb.

Paint is expensive!

Is the closest urgent care still on 536?

I hate to point this out as I generally agree with the sentiment here - but you know the only reason Walt agreed to build Magic Kingdom was in fact, to have an ATM to cover the costs of his original vision for EPCOT.

The sad truth is that the Florida Project has always been an ATM for the company, albeit Walt was using it for something visionary while Bob is using it for stock buybacks.

You're correct, and ultimately, I think you can successfully argue that post-2012, The Magic Kingdom has probably been the second worst park in the portfolio, only beating out the maligned WDSP/DAW. It's just baffling to me that management really is going to go to market with this 11th hour rumor. They are abandoning any sense that WDI and WDW as defining institutions in the industry and frankly, American history.

So sad that a single new addition (not even a replacement) is enough for you to write off a park that hold so many fond memories.

I have my “still waiting on them to finish the spaceship earth finale” ready

 

[TheRealSkull]

I wasn't around then but have been a long-time viewer of the forums. For those who get or were around for the long-running joke, Imagine Pam Hates Penguins returns to the forums after a supposed Cars Land or ride is announced for WDW. The madness that would ensue.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Waiting for the panel like...

 

[MouseEarsMom33]

Paint is expensive!

Can't they just project the old paint colors on it?
