And sadly, this may never happen, not with WDW, because of it's legendary status as some sort of right of passage that everyone must visit at least once in their lifetime.

Food and wine and frozen?....if I can drink a grey goose slushy while riding I'm good

I completely agree that Frozen is going to be a classic just like The Little Mermaid. I think that part of the problem is that when that movie came out, Walt Disney World did not turn everything in the parks into The Little Mermaid.Heck they have an entire ride at MK based on a movie 99% of the people who go to the park have never seen and it's considered a classic. I personally think Frozen is locked in as a classic Disney movie for the next decade at least. It's every bit the movie that Little Mermaid is and that movie is still going strong today.

I'm sure the drink has to be finished before entering the line; however, at least the ride may be more palatable with a little help from that fully consumed slushy.

True, but there are enough people out there that are the owners of Disney stock, DVC, APs, etc. that have invested some big $$ into TWDC. If those people were to sell off their investments and never return, Disney will take a hit. Sure, there will be someone to take their place, but if word gets out as to why people are walking away, the message could stick that it's not worth the investment.
It's not always just the revenue at the gate that makes the company money. Sure, the restaurants and merchandise help but it's the selling of the DVC's, the APs and people buying stock on Wall St. that Disney sees the money.
So, even with the people that make the once in a lifetime trek, it's not necessarily those people that Disney is worried about. It's the people who are spending the big bucks to have DVC, stock, APs, etc and expect to see results from the product they receive. So it's THOSE people who need to step up, let the displeasure be heard and threaten with their investments that if changes for the better aren't made, that they'll pull out and leave.

I would disagree, Maelstrom was never a detailed study of Norwegian culture IMO. It was a very brief overview at best. A Frozen overlay will lose the oil references but keep the trolls from Norwegian culture for example. I would guess (and I might be wrong) that the trolls are far more interesting to most than the oil portion of the ride for example. But then I am from Texas and we have lots of oil references around here so that might just be personal bias.
And sadly I would think Captain America at least taught some in the audience that we fought Germany in WWII, I would bet my last dollar more than a few people who saw that movie did not even know that.

So the story broken here in May and discussed over and over and over again is finally confirmed. Not a lot to get excited about (either way), nothing new here.
Seems like they are fast tracking this one though (based on Disney standards). Early 2016 is a little over a year. Not too long to wait.

The name of the parade has been Once upon a Christmastime for some time. Google it.
They may use the other name for the mashup that is the not live Christmas Day parade.

Never going to happen. Definitely not because they are bringing something new to the parks. They hear new and jump for joy, no matter what it is.

The quote is that you can't change the film (unless your George Lucas) and the parks will forever change

I don't see too many people on this thread exactly jumping for joy over something new... Couple this in with declining dining service and such, among other things that are probably out there, and yes, it could happen.
Isn't that part of the problem?

Oh I'm not going back until they finish the hub and open something worth going for. 2016 trip penciled in with friends and their kids.

True, it's the ones not on this thread that we should be worried about. I see a lot of sickeningly positive comments on Twitter & Facebook..

Those are the planted comments that we've been talking about. They just haven't planted them on the parks blog (they're on other social media as well).

I was just on Facebook. Where are you seeing a lot of positive comments? For every positive comment I saw, there were 30 negative ones.
Thats a fair ratio. Especially on Twitter....

Didn't WDW hit record numbers last year in attendance? Never say never but I can not see WDW losing guest and their dollars anytime soon. Not to sound like a homer but Disney has held strong against the surging Universal theme park and Dreamworks movies recently. And they did not do so against weak competition either, Uni and DW have put forth very high quality products.
