That would raise expectations.
More than just seeing a crazy long, 2 hour line?
That would raise expectations.
This feels like an extensive reach.Clearly you have never done anything creative. Fantasia was bust when it was released, the company lost a ton, The haters of the day said the magic was over. When he announced Disneyland they dubbed it Walts follies. When it opened the Concrete still wasn't dry, the wagon ride was bust, etc, etc - did the company give up? Of course not! There will always be a next, different & better. Walt saw a bigger World.
The little world laughed at Robert Fulton when he went steaming by on that steam ship in the hudson river, but the big world was gathered watching him as he made that historic journey downstream.
The little world laughed but the big world was right there at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina when the Wright Brothers made that flight in the space that changed not only the face of the globe, but changed the face of the universe. The little world laughed, but the big world was tuned in when Alexander Graham Bell make that historic phone call which changed communications forever.
The little world might laugh at you, when you start on your journey, but I can absolutely guarantee you it’s gonna be the big world who is gonna be right there at the finish cheering you across when you reach the destination which they said you could not reach, and let me remind you that what you get by reaching that destination will not be nearly so important as what you will become by reaching that destination.

It's very apparent now that this was approved and created by executive leaders who have no idea how a crowded Disney theme park works.
Who the heck is in charge of the Parks division? And why can't they ever get some experienced Ops people to be in charge?![]()
Josh was actually the most parks experienced person to lead Disney’s parks in nearly two decades. He had been with Parks and Resorts / Parks, Experiences and Products for a decade when he landed the top job.Neither held any parks ops experience before running the parks. What could go wrong???
That is true. But he never worked a day in the parks, he's always been in management. I guess the same could be said about Matt Ouimet but he somehow managed to do incredible things in California. Different mindsets, different eras, I guess.Josh was actually the most parks experienced person to lead Disney’s parks in nearly two decades.

So am I.I’m still in shock they are scheduling previews for themed water fountains

Harmonious (and Cosmic Rewind) actively detract from the park due to the hideous infrastructure, so I have a hard time considering them comparable. At the very least, Journey of Water is not a visual blight towering over EPCOT and is basically completely ignorable if you hate it, whereas Harmonious and CR really can’t be ignored and drag down otherwise lovely areas.another harmonious on their hands except its not a visual mess....like another poster said this is perfect for a moania queue/attraction at AK. A blunder for epcot.
the parks division needs to clean house badly. Disney keeps touting this like it's some big new attraction, and that's a big problem or going to be for them.
Sounds similar to the early reviews when they did cast previews of the original JII replacement - the one that was actually worse than what we have now.I've had some comments from some CM's who have been through over the past couple of weeks. The sentiment is overwhelmingly negative so far.
Latest comment was "Very very forgettable."
Ah. I see. I'll get on that. I'll make sure everyone reads the BlogMickey's report before taking people to experiencing this attraction to ensure it's edutainment value.Here I am! And it is indeed "edutainment."
All one has to do is read BlogMickey's report:
Good to see somebody gets it.But there is a heck of a difference between edutainment in the form of Horizons or Universe of Energy vs. a water play area with some informational signage.
Yet think about how much space has been dedicated to this. How much resources. How much effort was put into this….I mean, what are people expecting? It's a walkthrough with water effects. This isn't going to be groundbreaking, or some epic new attraction. It's just a normal, walkthrough experience. It adds something extra and chill to do in a park.
It is a part of the PARTIAL Epcot renovation. Half of which was cancelled.It is a part of the entire epcot renovation. Gotg, rat, new communicore, space 220, central core, entrance fountain makeover, etc.....
