Speaking of big deals, have you seen the Marshmallow M&G that they have in Tokyo? Looks awesome, I hope we get something like that in Epcot.
I'm also really hoping for something like a big, gorgeous ice crystal staircase. And I am cautiously optimistic about rumors I've heard about the Olaf animatronic.

If you were creating the new Frozen content, what would you include?
I absolutely adore Olaf!!!!!!

I'm not sure why they couldn't either. I'm not a wait for characters person but there are a few I'd probably wait for, Olaf, Marshmallow, Baymax are a few. I'm not the biggest Frozen fan, but I like Olaf and Marshmallow just looks massive and cool.

Totally agree about Baymax as well, he would be a great M&G. I hope they are still having Baymax around when I next visit WDW, as we won't be going in 2015.

More fitting ideas could be a draw to World Showcase as well. I brought these up before and I'm doing it again.

The various Mountains are some of Disneys most popular rides in any of their parks. They would definitely work in World Showcase as well, no need for Frozen being put where it doesn't belong. Disney's just too cheap to build them and a proper Frozen expansion.

The mountains were actually part of early plans for EPCOT Center as proven by this model.

Man would it have been awesome to see those two mountains looming at the far end of World Showcase. Talk about a huge draw.

I could do without Time Racers replacing Spaceship Earth though. Thankfully they found that it wouldn't be possible to replace SSE so easily :)
A ride in a mountain... real original.

In a Pavilion that already HAD a princess M&G meal set up. Where was the protest for that?

You forgot it I assume... Because it was there. That's the problem, Disney ignores it so much that entire new cycles of people come along and have known no different. And others harp we should focus on the positive... So people forget the bad I guess

To be honest I have a problem with Aladdin meeting in Morocco. Morocco isn't Agrabah.
The original story has the Cave of Wonders and the sorcerer character that was reworked into Jafar as from Morocco, with the main setting being "China in that anything far enough east we just call it China". Still a stretch putting the Disney characters there.

Scrutinizing it even more, you could argue Belle, Aurora and Snow White shouldn't really be meeting in World Showcase, the time period of the pavilions are way out of the characters timelines. There was definitely no Eiffel tower in Sleeping Beauty.
Well there's still that loose justification they have for some of those meets with the whole "Points of origin for these fairy tales we've adapted" thing. Though yeah, it's annoying that they keep stretching that idea to flimsier degrees. I've said this before, but it'd be great if they decided to go with non-Disney international characters instead: Asterix in France, Doraemon in Japan, etc.

Does no one care about the god awful ride in Mexico?? That offends me more then this Frozen attraction.
The three caballero's aren't as popular as frozen. Therefore the negative attention on it is not as much. Even though to me the day that El río del tiempo became the grand fiesta tour was the day the world showcase had it's fate sealed.

It's just dreadful... Like it's obvious you're staring at a screen, the ride has no cohesion, and is just plain bad. And it sucks because it has such a wonderful hidden location, could be a real gem.
