Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Plans

[Cesar R M]

That would not go as far as you might think... 350M would refurb a restroom and add a Churro Cart ...I remember when Space Mountain was built back in the 70s..they were touting that it cost 21 Million to build... Nowadays that is the cost to replace the parking lot banners.

Which is pretty ridiculous.
I mean.. What the hell does WDI do to make costs inflate that much?

 

[ford91exploder]

Well, to be fair, MSEP was brought back six summers ago as a "special occasion"

Yes yes that is true but when I say 'Special Occasion' I mean something like the 4'th of July not a run spanning years

Failing companies tend to have a division where they hide their losses by having this division 'sell' services to other departments at grossly inflated prices, It's one of the only logical explanations as to why WDI is so expensive relative to it's competition especially since WDI has divested itself of manufacturing.

Or it is because WDI provides a vastly superior product compared to its competitors.

Shanghai Disneland in magnificent. As will be SWL (1&2), Pandora, Disney Springs, TSL, Frozen etc..........

Keep telling yourself that.

I will. And the vindication will be as sweet as it always is.

Awell let's not have blinders on... Disney has delivered some bombs for sure...Let's not forget Rocket Rods, Mission Space, Superstar Limo, DCA 1.0, Hong Kong Disneyland at opening...They have been known to value engineer something to death...as well as do amazing work...problem is you never know what you are going to get.

DCA 2.0, DAK 2.0, DHS 2.0. MARVEL LAND and saving the MK from falling apart.

Specifically HM, HoP, BTMRR, PIrates, JC, Splash and Space Mountains and MSUSA. And the railroad. And Astro Orbitors. And TR. All had not been maintained with any sense of priority.

 

[Bocabear]

And the Pixie Dusters and Disney Apologists will go crazy saying how it is the most imaginitive and magical nothing EVER! ...which will prompt WDW to raise their prices once again and spend another 35 million on "The Most Magical Nothing...Ever!" Ad campaign...lol

With Chapek at the helm and rising in ranks, yeah wouldn't surprise me sadly.

of all those you mentioned... seems only DCA has been completed.
Of all these projects.. all went over budget.

They will still pay off many times over. Remember, Beastly Kingdom did not go over budget.

Let DL keep paint the night I want this.

Beyond the spectacle, the music was outstanding. I still catch myself humming, "on this magic ni-ight, a million stars will play beside us..."

 

[RobbinsDad]

Such a shame Animal kingdom could highly benefit from a family attraction from that film.

If Disney could have foreseen its success, I wonder if Zootopia might be under construction instead of Pandora.

The only factor in Pandora was 'Biggest Box Office Ever' that's the only reason it's getting built.
