I was thinking about this too, it would be cool if they added this in the norther area of the park between river and Everest. Have Brother Bear in there, if you want try pocahontas, throw in Bambi.
Tropical Americas not featuring Up in a greater capacity is the biggest miss here imo. I’d love to replace the Theater in the Wild with a Nemo attraction.
I still think Jungle Book should go in this plot. Expand Asia.
I don’t really see how? You’d be switching from a modern land where dinosaurs are extinct to one in the Pleistocene, which would still require a similar level of re-theming in order to work well unless you made two side-by-side time travel attractions.
I think there’s at least a chance that some of the land opens before the 3 year target (I assume 2027 gives them until December 2027 to stay on target so 3 years and a month from now) The Encanto ride and area could in theory open before the Indy ride since that is being constructed first. They opened Star Wars and Fantasy Land Expansion in phases but Avatar opened all at once so both options have recent precedent. I kinda prefer opening all at once when the whole land is ready but if they could get part open by say Summer 2027 they will probably do that.
Agreed. If both rides were clones and/or rethemes I’d say even less than 3 years would be doable but the Encanto ride is still a mystery (unless I missed something which is very possible). The existing area it is in didn’t take much to demolish but I’m not sure how elaborate the ride will be and the landscaping will still take time even without large rock work.
I feel the same. I was at DLR shortly after Galaxy’s Edge opened (without Rise). I was still happy to see the new land and ride MF but it was disappointing that the headliner wasn’t open. I do think that if part of the land is ready by the start of the Summer and the rest won’t be done until Fall it will probably open in phases. If it’s a few months difference in off times maybe all at once. Disney also probably wouldn’t want people delaying a trip to wait for the land to open. That happened some with Star Wars and was a bigger deal for Universal in the year before each Harry Potter land opened. Maybe this is too minor an addition to move the needle. The Potter lands and SW were much more anticipated.
Where's the DVC kiosk?
