Good Changes

I like that the Disney Institute became Saratoga Springs...and allowed me to be a DVC member.

I actually enjoyed DI

I'm in love with Belle's Village in Fantasyland. Also, I much prefer Storybook Circus to the sliver of Disneyland's Toontown that we had at WDW.

I'm also a fan of the new Test Track.

I really like the new Fantasyland.

plus, bringing back the Orange Bird!

But it would be fun. He'll be the one with too much blush on!

Or, look for the guy with fish nets. Anyhow, I just googled it, and it looks really cool. Suddenly, I might have to make some time for DAK. We usually just show up on a morning long enough to ride KS, and then head out. Looks like they have beer tasting (DH would like that), and juice tastings (something for the kiddies). And lots of other interesting things.

I'm not disparaging the institute...I just am happy it became a DVC and I could buy in....

Building 3 additional parks that are not just clones of the Magic Kingdom.

 

[Minthorne]

I think this falls under the category of wishful thinking!

Alright, I know this might not be popular, but...I am glad that Snow White's Scary Adventure is gone. Phew! I said it.

Heresy!

Instead of mourning of things that have passed, what are the changes to parks/attractions that you LOVE? For me:
turning Spoodles into Kouzzina- best decision Disney has made in years
turning Virgin Megastore into Splitsville (and I don't even bowl)
Expanding the Lego Imagination Center
The Summer "wine walk" in DAK
Taking out the American Idol Experience

Good idea for a post! We haven't been since 2010 - they took out American Idol?

yep!

 

[DfromATX]

yep!

Did anything replace it?

not yet....
IDK what the plans are.

 

[AllyInWonderland]

Bringing back the original Tiki Room, the tent from ToonTown in Storybook Circus, Nemo in the Living Seas, and updating the music in Spaceship Earth

 

[J03Y]

the extended graveyard at Haunted Mansion is actually the best thing ever imo
Test Track 2.0
i think there are pros to Storybook Circus, Toon Town always felt like it was just there with barely any themeing
Expedition Everest obviously
adding Soarin' to the Land was a nice addition to the pavilion
Pixar Place at MGM
changing MGM to Hollywood Studios. i admit i always did think it'd make more sense to call it Hollywood Studios

 

[Clowd Nyne]

Toontown into new fantasyland.

Toontown into new fantasyland.

I love that they expanded Fantasy land, but I still think Mickey should have a "house" somewhere in MK- Walt does.

 

[Clowd Nyne]

Adding "wishes". Absolutely love this as a night capper at MK!

 

[Bethypoo]

There's a "wine walk" in DAK?

Okay, I didn't know this, either. It sounds like an excellent change. I looooove South African wine. Maybe I'll have to re-think avoiding WDW in June.
