What happened to The Little Mermaid theme? The art nouveau lake promenade has a loose princess theme?
Just like Mickey Avenue and Paradise Pier, the concept here is to celebrate all Disney and Pixar characters. This is why it won't be like other lands that immerse you in movie-themed worlds; instead, it will be more like gardens that celebrate these stories. Beyond Disney princesses, there will also be nods to Mary Poppins, Toy Story, Peter Pan, Up!, and other yet-to-be-revealed franchises. The idea is to create a more pleasant space that provides a counterbalance to the hyper-immersion of other upcoming worlds, with a lighter theme. There's no need to see Rapunzel's tower or Carl Fredericksen's house, or to wonder why there are statues of characters like Peter Pan. We won't be plunged into the logic of the films, and it will be perfectly coherent to see simple rides or flat rides that don't aspire to deep immersion.

Wouldn't UP make more sense in the Pixar area? Considering the massive success of Inside Out 2, this could be another contender to replace the Aladdin theme for flying spinner attraction - if they actually plan to replace it at some point.

The reason why the Up! attraction isn't located in the Worlds of Pixar land is that, ultimately, this land will be a collection of immersive mini-lands centered around various Pixar franchises. Up! isn't meant to have a mini-land; a flat ride is entirely sufficient.

they should put that blue sky carousel from the new AK tropical americas retheme where Aladdin is. surround it with trees and it would be way way better than that ugly aladdin spinner is now.

i thought it was supposed to be an ursala spinner, but ok. Maybe something more stylized like the swings at DCA?
It's been rumoured to have been air based or known as project air for a little while now, potentially Up themed?

I don't think so... there was the 'Sky Buckets' [not sure of their actual name] which was an early gonalda system you may be thinking of?
Not them.

A central tower with seats that swung round. Didn’t go very high. Definitely a kiddie ride. Around 2005, somewhere near where Ariel did her m&g and the WtP outdoor play area.

Maybe my mind’s playing tricks but I thought I remember my two boys riding. 🤪
